The Battles of Trenton and Princeton
The battles of Trenton and Princeton were important Revolutionary War victories for the colonists led by General George Washington. In Trenton on December 26, 1776, Washington launched a surprise attack against Hessian troops commanded by Colonel Johann Rall, who were caught off guard while celebrating Christmas. The poorly prepared Hessians were defeated within two hours, with over 900 captured. In Princeton on January 3, 1777, Washington outmaneuvered British forces led by General Cornwallis and General Mawhood, defeating them and gaining another much-needed victory for the colonial cause.
Alexander II and the Emancipation of the Serfs
The document discusses the emancipation of serfs in 19th century Russia and the subsequent reforms under Tsar Alexander II. It provides background on serfdom prior to emancipation in 1861, including the different types of serfs. It then summarizes the key aspects of the 1861 emancipation edict, including granting serfs freedom and land. However, emancipation also led to unrest as peasants faced debt and land disputes. The document next outlines Alexander II's reforms in other areas like the military, judiciary, education, and local government. Overall, it presents an overview of the emancipation of serfs and the modernizing reforms that followed under Alexander II in the mid-19th century.

Andrew Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1835 and immigrated to the United States at age 12 with his family. He began working various jobs as a young teen, eventually becoming an assistant to the superintendent of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Carnegie went on to build a steel empire through innovative business practices and acquiring companies. He dominated the steel industry and became hugely wealthy before selling his company to J.P. Morgan and dedicating the rest of his life to philanthropic causes, establishing thousands of libraries.
The Home Rule Crisis and World War One in Ireland
John Redmond, leader of the Home Rule Party, convinced Prime Minister Asquith to grant home rule to Ireland in 1910. However, unionists strongly opposed home rule, fearing discrimination under Catholic rule. They organized under Sir Edward Carson and Sir James Craig, holding protests and forming armed groups like the Ulster Volunteer Force. Nationalists responded in kind with the Irish National Volunteers. As tensions rose, World War I broke out in 1914, postponing the home rule issue.
Northern Ireland - the Welfare State
The document summarizes the introduction and development of the welfare state in Northern Ireland from 1949-1973. It discusses how the welfare state provided free healthcare, education, pensions and unemployment benefits through higher taxes. While Unionists initially resisted it, the welfare state was eventually implemented and made Northern Ireland more prosperous than the Republic of Ireland economically and socially. Key developments discussed include expanding education access, improving housing conditions, increasing healthcare funding and investing in infrastructure to attract foreign industry.
Anne Frank
1) Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who went into hiding with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in World War 2.
2) She received a diary for her 13th birthday in 1942 and used it to record her experiences while in hiding for over two years.
3) In August 1944, the Franks and others hiding with them were arrested and deported to concentration camps, where Anne and her sister died at Bergen-Belsen in early 1945.
Thomas jefferson
Thomas Jefferson was born in 1743 in Virginia. He went to college and studied law, and had a varied career as a farmer, inventor, governor, vice president, and the third President of the United States. As president, Jefferson authored the Declaration of Independence and made the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the size of the country. He died on July 4, 1826 at his home, Monticello.
World War II

Transcontinental Railroad
The Transcontinental Railroad was built in the United States in the 1860s to connect the eastern and western halves of the country. It was an immense engineering challenge to build tracks across the vast distances and difficult terrain. The Central Pacific Railroad worked eastward from Sacramento, California while the Union Pacific Railroad worked westward from Omaha, Nebraska. On May 10, 1869, the two lines were joined at Promontory Summit in Utah with the driving of the final "Golden Spike." The railroad revolutionized travel and trade across North America.
The 1916 Easter Rising - Junior Cert History
Slides on the 1916 Rising in Dublin for Junior Certificate History. Contains some crosswords and questions from past papers
John Brown
John Brown led a raid on a federal armory in Harpers Ferry, Virginia in 1859 hoping to start a slave revolt. He was captured along with 21 men, including 5 black men, and was later hanged for his actions. The raid gained significant attention as it showed the divide between abolitionists in the North and pro-slavery advocates in the South. Events like the Kansas-Nebraska Act and Dred Scott decision inflamed tensions by renewing hopes of expanding slavery and ruling that blacks could not be citizens, pushing Brown and others to take action. His raid was seen as a catalyst for the eventual Civil War as it demonstrated the North was willing to use force and increased political tensions between free and slave states.
Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton was born around 1755 in the Caribbean and immigrated to the American colonies in 1773. He played a pivotal role in establishing the early economic foundations of the new United States by creating the first Bank of the United States, taking on massive war debts to establish the nation's creditworthiness, and stabilizing the chaotic early financial system through his work as the first Secretary of the Treasury. His policies helped transform the new nation into a stable economic power.
The IRA and the Troubles in Northern Ireland
Sinn Fein and the IRA emerged from Irish nationalist movements in the early 20th century. The IRA split in 1969 into the Provisional IRA and Official IRA. The Provisional IRA launched a bombing campaign against British targets in Northern Ireland to force withdrawal but this failed. The IRA then adopted a long war strategy of attrition through the 1970s and 1980s, attacking military and economic targets. IRA prisoners engaged in hunger strikes in the 1980s which increased support for Sinn Fein politically. Eventually, Sinn Fein and the IRA adopted a strategy of using both political and military means, leading to IRA decommissioning and Sinn Fein becoming the largest nationalist party in Northern Ireland.
Impact Of Conflict In Northern Ireland
The document discusses the impact of conflict in Northern Ireland. It summarizes that:
1. The declining economy was affected by violence and tension which drove away businesses and investments due to high security costs. This put a strain on the British government's budget.
2. Political change and reform was achieved through pressure from civil rights groups like NICRA, resulting in some discrimination reforms. However, peace talks were disrupted by extremist groups like the IRA.
3. Attempts have been made over the decades to negotiate peace agreements between involved groups, but achieving lasting peace has been difficult due to lack of support from all sides and sporadic violence like bombings by dissident groups.
The diary of a young girl-Anne frank
The document provides biographical details and character descriptions of the main figures in Anne Frank's diary. It describes Anne, her family who hid with her (her parents and sister), and the other people who joined them in hiding (the Van Daan family and Mr. Dussel). It notes key facts about each person like their dates of birth, personalities, relationships with Anne, and ultimate fates, with most having perished in Nazi concentration camps by 1945.
Homestead act
The Homestead Act of 1862 aimed to promote westward expansion by granting land claims to male citizens and immigrants who would improve the land. While some impoverished farmers benefited, much of the land went to speculators who sold it at inflated prices or to non-farmers. Industrialization later led to large corporate farms replacing small homesteads in the West. The Homestead Act attracted settlers seeking land, riches, freedom, jobs, adventure, and family in the growing nation.
World war II in Northern Ireland
World War II had a significant impact on Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland played an important role in Britain's war effort by producing ships, aircrafts, linen and food. However, Belfast suffered extensive bomb damage during the Belfast Blitz of 1941, with over 900 deaths. The war economy led to a boom in Northern Ireland's industry and agriculture. After the war, Northern Ireland benefited from closer ties to Britain and the establishment of the British welfare state, while a growing economic divide opened up between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland in the south.
The celts
The Celts were a powerful group in central and northern Europe who lived in scattered villages. They spoke their own language and were mainly farmers, though some tribes were known as great warriors. The Celts believed in many nature gods and had traditions like burying the dead with objects for the afterlife. In Britain, Celtic tribes like the Iceni were located across the island and resisted Roman invasion, led by the warrior queen Boudicca after the Romans mistreated her family. Some modern Celtic traditions like Christmas trees are inspired by their beliefs in the power of trees.
Greensboro Sit-Ins
The Greensboro Sit-Ins of 1960 were a watershed moment in the Civil Rights Movement. On February 1st, four African American students from North Carolina A&T sat down at the segregated lunch counter of a Woolworth's in downtown Greensboro and refused to leave, despite not being served. Their nonviolent protest against racial discrimination sparked similar sit-ins across the South and helped galvanize the movement. The sit-ins in Greensboro received widespread media attention and drew both supporters and critics in the local community. While the protests faced resistance, they ultimately succeeded in desegregating the Woolworth's lunch counter.

Elizabeth Blackwell
[1] Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States, graduating in 1849 despite facing criticism and hostility.
[2] She opened the Infirmary for Women and Children in 1853 to provide medical care to women and charge low fees, though it struggled financially.
[3] Blackwell inspired many other women to enter medicine through her lectures in Britain and the United States, and helped establish several institutions to train women in medicine including the first medical school for women in the U.S.
Elizabeth Blackwell by MP
Elizabeth Blackwell was born in 1821 in England and moved with her family to America when she was 11. After being rejected from many medical schools due to her gender, she eventually graduated from Geneva Medical College in 1849, becoming the first woman doctor. Throughout her career, she opened several hospitals and a medical school for women. She was a pioneer and role model who helped make hospitals safer by promoting good hygiene.
Florence Nightingale
Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 in Italy and grew up in England. She was interested in nursing even though it was seen as a low occupation at the time. Nightingale received training in Germany and took a job running an establishment for sick women. During the Crimean War in 1854, she led a group of nurses and improved sanitary conditions, earning her the nickname "The Lady with the Lamp". Nightingale went on to establish the first nursing school and publish influential writings, revolutionizing the nursing profession before her death in 1910.
Florence Nightingale
Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 in Italy to wealthy British parents. She felt called to become a nurse despite her mother wanting her to marry. In 1854, she led a group of 38 nurses to a military hospital in Turkey during the Crimean War. There, she found unsanitary conditions and high death rates from disease. Nightingale reduced the death rate through organized nursing and brought attention to soldiers' conditions. This led to reforms in military medicine. She went on to found the first nursing school in Britain and wrote influential books on nursing.
Florence Nightingale in the 21st Century : A critique
Florence Nightingale had a significant impact on nursing and healthcare in the 19th century through establishing nursing as a respected profession, advocating for hygienic hospital conditions, and founding nursing schools. However, some of her views such as opposition to nurse registration and emphasis on social class are now considered outdated. While still an iconic figure, modern scholarship has also revealed flaws in her character such as exaggerating her own accomplishments and bullying behaviors. Overall, Nightingale's emphasis on clinical practice and education remain relevant today, but some of her specific opinions are no longer applicable in the 21st century healthcare system.
Civil war medicine
Medical knowledge and practices during the Civil War were very basic and unsanitary by modern standards. Surgeons had little training and infection was not understood, so amputation was often the only solution for bullet wounds. Common diseases like dysentery, typhoid fever, and pneumonia spread quickly through unsanitary camp conditions and claimed many lives. While some anesthetics like chloroform were available, overall medical care was limited. Over 600,000 soldiers died during the war, with more from disease than combat injuries.
Robert E. Lee Powerpoint Presentation
Robert E. Lee was a Confederate general who was born in Virginia in 1807. He attended West Point and fought for the Union in the Mexican-American War before resigning his commission to lead Virginia's state forces when the Civil War began. As commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, Lee won several early victories but was ultimately defeated by the Union's superior resources. After the war ended with his surrender in 1865, Lee served as president of Washington College until his death in 1870.
Florence Nightingale - The Lady with the Lamp
Florence Nightingale transformed nursing into a respectable profession and pioneered modern healthcare standards through her work during the Crimean War. She found the army hospitals to be unsanitary with high mortality rates and took charge, reducing the death rate from 42% to 2%. Nightingale established rigorous cleaning and training standards, despite resistance. After the war, she continued her reforms through published works and establishing nursing schools, improving civilian and military healthcare worldwide.
Nightingale influence
Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 into a wealthy family in Italy and received an excellent education. She wanted to become a nurse despite the poor conditions in hospitals at the time. After visiting a nursing school in Germany, Nightingale established herself as an expert in hospital reform in England. During the Crimean War, she led a group of nurses and greatly reduced mortality rates among soldiers through her emphasis on hygiene and sanitation. After the war, Nightingale continued her work to improve military and civilian healthcare. She established the first nursing school in Britain and advanced nursing as a profession through her writings, establishing standards of nursing education and practice. Nightingale received many honors for her pioneering work in nursing and was

This lecture is devoted to the Jim Crow Era. It relates the different civil rights cases that marked the beginnings of the era, and sheds light on black disenfranchisement in the Southern states as well as segration in both public and private spheres
Civil war medicine
Civil War medicine lacked understanding of bacteriology and the causes of disease. Doctors at the time were ignorant of what caused disease and how to prevent its spread or cure illnesses. Overall, Civil War medicine was before advances in understanding disease transmission and treatment.
Ida B. Wells
Ida B. Wells was born into slavery in Holly Springs, Mississippi in 1862. After her friends were lynched, she began investigating and writing about the injustice of lynching. She published pamphlets and books documenting her research on lynching. Wells also organized boycotts and worked as a journalist and newspaper editor, using her writing to advocate for racial justice and equality.
Segregation and Discrimination
After the failures of Reconstruction, racism expanded in the post-Civil War South through practices like sharecropping and voting restrictions, as well as violence from the KKK. Jim Crow laws were enacted to legally enforce segregation in schools and public places, supported by the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court ruling of "separate but equal". While segregation was most extreme in the South, racism was also present in Northern states through job and housing discrimination. Resistance to racism emerged in the late 19th century through early civil rights leaders like Ida B. Wells, Booker T. Washington, and W.E.B. DuBois, though Washington and DuBois differed in their approaches, with Washington advocating
Civil War (Good One!!)
The Civil War was fought between 1861-1865 between the Union (Northern) states and the Confederate (Southern) states over the issues of states' rights and slavery. Over 620,000 soldiers died making it the bloodiest war in American history. Key battles included Fort Sumter, Antietam, Gettysburg, and Appomattox Court House where the South surrendered, ending the war. Reconstruction efforts after the war attempted to reunite the country and define citizenship and rights for freed slaves.
Ho Chi Minh summary
Ho Chi Minh was a Vietnamese nationalist leader who led Vietnam's independence movement in the 20th century. He had a fierce commitment to Vietnamese nationalism and was willing to use force to achieve independence from France. He also believed Vietnam should be communist based on his experiences traveling and being influenced by Marxism. Though he initially declared Vietnam's independence in 1945, the country was soon divided and he spent the rest of his life fighting for reunification through leading the Viet Minh resistance against France and later against the US-backed South Vietnam.
Florence Nightingale's Environment Theory
Florence Nightingale developed the Environmental Theory, which focused on incorporating restoration of a patient's usual health status through manipulation of their environment.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
