  Americans generally show great respect for their troops, and rightfully so. But what is the history of the US Armed Forces? How did the American military come about?  
  The answers to these questions might not be quite as straightforward as you might think. The American military industrial complex, as one former president once called it, was not always so streamlined and efficient.

  Most people know of witches from the movies. Horror films with evil, cackling old women dressed in black, mixing potions and lotions and bringing doom to her victims. 
   
  The truth is in fact, as normal, far from the Hollywood version. Most of this false reality comes from religious intolerance over the centuries. Witchcraft was a threat to established religion and can be dated right back into the Bible itself. 
   
  Church propaganda spread stories and fear among the masses. This in turn brought down violence upon those practising witchcraft. Hounded out of town, victimised or even burned alive or drowned, the role of those practising the old arts was not one to be jealous of. If there was any true horror, then it was for the witches themselves. 
   
  Their craft is as old as history and it holds a great many truths, both natural and psychological. It finds it’s origins in ancient techniques of natural healing and a uniting of the natural world with that of humanity. Many of the discoveries made by witches are now common practice in homeopathy. 
   
  So what is the real truth? Did witches deal with the devil? Did they eat their victims? Did they mix their special brews in big black cauldrons? It’s time to find out.

  Holy Roman Empire’s Conflicts...

  It has been famously pointed out that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, but it was also not an empire in the sense people expect when hearing the term. In theory, the emperor was the highest prince in Christendom, and his dominion extended the length and breadth of Western Europe. The empire had been created by the papacy in 801 when Pope Leo the Third famously crowned the supposedly unwitting Charlemagne in Saint Peter’s Basilica, intending to recreate the Western Roman Empire. In truth, the imperial power did not extend beyond central Europe, which by the beginning of the 16th century included Germany, northern Italy, and the Netherlands. Even in these lands, however, the emperor struggled to command obedience. His dominion over northern Italy was theoretical only, the cities of the Netherlands were deeply conscious of their ancient rights and privileges, and Germany had long ceased to be compliant. The latter had become a collection of principalities, dukedoms and bishoprics which vied with each other and pursued their own agendas. They were, however, united in only one sense: denying the emperor power and resisting attempts to centralize the government.  
  	At the same time, the secular sovereigns frequently butted heads with religious authorities back in Rome, and arguably none of the conflicts were as crucial as the War of the Keys and the Investiture Controversy. The tensions between the Holy Roman Empire and Church over the power to invest bishops with authority led to decades of civil war in Germany on the way to establishing the relationship between Church and state, elevating the status of the papacy and weakening the Holy Roman Empire. What is crucial in understanding the conflicts is to not view them with the benefit of hindsight. Most importantly, no nation as people recognize it today yet existed, as England, France, Germany, and Italy were largely geographical expressions, not national identities.
