  The Crusades - Holy Wars of the...

  The origins of the Crusades lie in a complex blend of religious fervor, political ambition, and cultural conflict that took shape in the late 11th century. At the heart of the movement was a passionate desire by Christian Europe to reclaim the Holy Land—particularly Jerusalem—from Muslim control. For centuries, Jerusalem had held sacred meaning for Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike. However, by the late 11th century, it was under the rule of the Seljuk Turks, who had taken control of large parts of the eastern Mediterranean, including important Christian pilgrimage routes. 
  The political climate of Europe during this period also played a significant role. Feudalism was the dominant system, and many nobles were constantly embroiled in local power struggles. At the same time, the Church had become the most powerful institution in Europe. It was in this context that Pope Urban II made a historic call to action in 1095 at the Council of Clermont. Responding to an appeal from Byzantine Emperor Alexios I for military assistance against the Seljuks, the pope called on Western Christians to take up arms and march to the East. His speech stirred a wave of religious enthusiasm, as he promised absolution of sins and eternal salvation to those who joined the cause. 
  This call ignited a massive response. Men from all walks of life—knights, peasants, and even children—began preparing for what would become known as the First Crusade. For many, the Crusades were not only a spiritual mission but also a chance for adventure, wealth, and social mobility. The idea of fighting in the name of God merged with more worldly motives, creating a powerful and often contradictory force.

  Letter to James C Conkling

  During the Civil War, Union supporters in President Abraham Lincoln's hometown of Springfield, Illinois, asked him to speak at a rally on September 3, 1863. Lincoln could not attend but wrote this letter to be read at the gathering by his long-time friend, James C. Conkling. The letter was accompanied by a brief note which read, "I cannot leave here now. Herewith is a letter instead. You are one of the best public readers. I have but one suggestion. Read it very slowly. And now God bless you, and all good Union-men." Shortly after the rally, John Murray Forbes wrote to Lincoln, referring to the letter and the Emancipation Proclamation issued on January 1, 1863. Forbes declared that the letter "will live in history side by side with your proclamation." He noted, "It meets the fears of the timid and the doubts of the reformer. It proves that the Proclamation and the policy resulting from it are the most conservative, both of liberty and of our form of government."

  Protests & Social Movements -...

  This book contains these 4 titles: 
  - The Arab Spring: The Arab Springs stands as one of the most transformative events of the 21st century, reshaping the political and social landscapes of the Middle East and North Africa. Triggered in December 2010 by the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia, the movement quickly spread across the region, igniting a wave of protests, uprisings, and revolutions.  
  - The Dakota Access Pipeline Protests: The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests were a defining moment in the intersection of environmental advocacy and Indigenous rights. Proposed to transport crude oil from the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota to Illinois, the pipeline’s route crossed sacred lands and the Missouri River, threatening water supplies and cultural heritage. While its proponents touted economic benefits and energy security, the project drew fierce resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and their allies, sparking a global movement.  
  - The Hong Kong Protests: Hong Kong, a former British colony handed back to China in 1997, has long been a symbol of political and economic success. Its unique status under the "One Country, Two Systems" framework promised a high degree of autonomy, preserving its freedoms and capitalist economy for 50 years after the handover. However, in recent years, this promise has been put to the test, as Beijing's increasing influence over the region has sparked widespread protests and growing unrest. 
  - The MeToo Movement: The movement’s resonance stems from its powerful message: sexual harassment and assault are widespread issues that affect women and marginalized groups across all sectors of society, from entertainment to politics, from workplaces to homes.
