  Franco-Prussian War - One of the...

  The Franco-Prussian War, also known as the Franco-German War or, in France, the War of 1870, was a pivotal conflict between the Second French Empire and the North German Confederation, which was led by the Kingdom of Prussia. This war lasted from 19 July 1870 to 28 January 1871, and its consequences would shape European geopolitics for decades. The primary cause of the war stemmed from France's desire to reaffirm its dominance in continental Europe, which had been seriously challenged after Prussia's decisive victory over Austria in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. This defeat shifted the balance of power in Europe, making France anxious about its standing. 
  Historians have debated the exact motivations behind the war, particularly regarding the role of Otto von Bismarck, the Prussian chancellor. Some argue that Bismarck intentionally provoked France into declaring war to unite the southern German states—Baden, Württemberg, Bavaria, and Hesse-Darmstadt—under the North German Confederation. Other historians maintain that Bismarck exploited the situation as it developed, recognizing the potential for new alliances but not necessarily seeking war. Regardless of the intent, Bismarck saw the war as an opportunity to strengthen German unity. 
  The war officially began when France mobilized its army on 15 July 1870, prompting the North German Confederation to follow suit with its own mobilization the same day. On 16 July, the French parliament declared war on Prussia, and by 2 August, France had invaded German territory. The German coalition responded swiftly and efficiently, invading northeastern France on 4 August. The Germans had several advantages: superior numbers, better training, more effective leadership, and access to advanced military technology, especially in railways and artillery.

  You accomplish life goals, but your Aunt did not due to her failing to put in the work and now out of envy she blames you as to why she cannot accomplish any of her life goals. Your friend of 15+ years publicly disgraced himself, but turned around, and publicly erroneously blamed and defamed you for it. Many people are faced with being blamed for other people's shortcomings. Most of the problems that people face are caused by no other person but themselves. A lot of times it is easy to blame someone else for the cause of the problem rather than take responsibility for one's own actions. For some people it is easy to accept the blame if the blamer provides a compelling reason why their accusation is true and if the person being blamed is not confident enough to put up a strong defense against the accusation. I Am Not The Cause Of Your Problems serves to empower and encourage you when faced with situations of being falsely blamed for other people's problems by providing an understanding that you are not the cause for every problem that other people face and also how to remove yourself from such a situation.  
  I Am Not The Cause Of Your Problems will help you to identify behaviors that try to deceive you into thinking you are the cause of other people's problems, to help you begin to stand up for yourself in such a situation, distance yourself from such a situation, recover from erroneously being blamed for other people's problems and to begin a life free from carrying other peoples weight around. You can gain the confidence to stand-up and firmly state: I am not the cause of your problems to anyone who tries to cast blame on you for their own problems.

  No one present at the Battle of Cape Lopez off the coast of West Africa in 1722 could have known that they were on the edge of history. This obscure yet fierce naval battle would have a monumental impact on British colonies and the future of slavery in America. 
   
   
   
  Pirates of the Slave Trade follows three figures whose fates would violently converge: John Conny, a charismatic leader of the Akan people who made lucrative deals with pirates and smugglers while fending off British and Dutch slavers; the infamous pirate Black Bart, who worked his way from an anonymous navigator to one of the British Empire's most notorious enemies in the region; and naval captain Chaloner Ogle, tasked by the Crown with hunting down and killing Black Bart at all costs. At the Battle of Cape Lopez, these three men and the massive historical forces at their backs would finally find each other—and the world would be transformed forever. 
   
   
   
  In this landmark narrative history, historian Angela Sutton outlines the complex network of trade routes spanning the Atlantic Ocean trafficked by agents of empire, private merchants, and brutal pirates alike. Drawing from a wide range of primary historical sources, Sutton offers a new perspective on how a single battle played a pivotal role in reshaping the trade of enslaved people in ways that affect America to this day.
