The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States by acquiring land west of the Mississippi River from France in 1803. Though uncertain if the Constitution permitted incorporating such a large territory, President Jefferson decided to purchase the land to secure the vital Mississippi River trade route for western farmers. He then commissioned the Lewis and Clark Expedition to map and explore the new acquisition, helping open up the western lands to settlement and transforming the young nation's economy and political landscape.
The Jeffersonian era was rife with conflict, partisan passion, and larger-than-life personalities. On the domestic front, a new party, the Republicans, came to office for the first time and a former vice president was charged with treason.

Louisiana Purchase and the Corps of Discoverytritondboyle
Brief look at how the young United States picked up the Louisiana Territory from France and the begininngs of the Lewis and Clark-led Corps of Discovery. This leads into the PBS on-line simulation "Into the Unknown" found here: www.pbs.org/lewisandclark/into/index.html.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Editor's Notes
Napoleon changed his mind because of his failed efforts to conquer Santo Domingo, a sugar rich island in which Louisiana would have served as a source for food. Also napoleon was about to end his conflict with Britain and because Britain controlled the seas he did not want to give them Louisiana in a peace treaty. Instead of pushing the Americans into a conflict with Britain over Louisiana he decided to sell it and focus on his plots in Europe.
Old world issues again gave America diplomatic success.
He privately proposed a constitutional amendment but he was advised that Napoleon could withdraw his offer so Jefferson just submitted the treaties to the Senate for approval though he thought the purchase unconstitutional.
The trail Lewis and Clark followed went from the Mississippi river through the rocky mountains and along the Columbia river to the pacific ocean. Sacagawea helped and translated for them when they reached Bismarck south Dakota greatly helping the success of the mission. This exploration led to the U.S. claim to Oregon and opened the west to Indian trade and exploration
Pike explored near the Mississippi from 1805-06 and went to Colorado and new Mexico where he sighted pikes peak form 1806-07. the Spanish began to be wary of the increased settlement in the Spanish regions foreshadowing future entanglements.
