Historical
Muslims and Europe
Like Granada, it is a city in Europe. The only difference is that not all the Muslims who settled here came from outside like Granada, but are ethnic Europeans, ie Caucasians. Living in the heart of Christian Europe, these people belong to a large ethnic group, the Bosniaks, who have been living in the Balkan region for centuries. Islam came here in the fourteenth century AD.

The Nuanced Ways Russian And Ukranian Culture Shaped The World
As my long time readers know, I have many close relationships with individuals who defected from the U.S.S.R. in the early 1990s. I have focused most of my historical work focusing on classical communities and cultures aka Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.

She is Fierce
Women's History Month is upon us and as the world stage looks to the events unfolding in Ukraine, it has never been more important for the west to step outside of itself. We have to look to Eastern Europe to provide support, but also as an example of stalwart bravery in the face of an old threat. The men and women of Ukraine have been facing Russia and the threat it poses for decades (at least). This is not a new threat for the people of Ukraine, or for that matter the people of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia - four of which share a major land border with Russia, all of which have citizens who not only remember life in the USSR but who lived the largest part of their lives under Russian rule.

The Cemetery
Wondering if “in the shade of the cypresses and inside the comforted by crying urns” the sleep of death is perhaps less hard or not, I enter the Cemetery of the Lupi, or La Cigna Municipal Cemetery, today on the edge of the port and industrial area of the city of Livorno, near the Cigna stream, in the locality of Santo Stefano dei Lupi. The area takes its name from the gronda of the Lupi , a vast area — that in medieval times extended from Pisa to the village of Labron - so-called by the landowning family. It was precisely the edict of San Cloud, of 1804, to which Foscolo refers in the Carme “I Sepolcri”, together with a concomitant epidemic of yellow fever, to decree the birth of the new cemetery.

Finale~Black Major First
As we wrap up Black History month, I wanted this last one to highlight two major first by black americans. Black history touches every aspect of American history but the truth of Slavery is rarely taught and it usually goes straight to the civil rights movement of the 60’s while covering certain people such as Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr, and Rosa Parks because they are considered safe to teach about in schools.

Key Causes of the War Between Russia and Ukraine
The Ukrainian War has been in effect since 2014 and will probably last at least another few years, with no end in sight. The conflict was started by a number of different causes and it’s difficult to get an accurate picture of what happened between the two countries, especially if you’re not from Ukraine or Russia. This article will take you through 9 key causes of the war between Russia and Ukraine and try to understand why the conflict exists, who’s fighting who, and why it’s so important to both countries that they want to keep it going on.

Sport's figures
Whenever black history is taught in schools we only cover certain topics or even people such as Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr, and Rosa Parks because they are considered safe to teach about. Slavery is rarely taught and it usually goes straight to the civil rights movement of the 60’s. Black history is more than that because every aspect of American history has been touched and built up on by a black person. Lets go hang with some forgotten heroes.
