Atlantic wars and revolutions
The document summarizes events in the English colonies in North America during the late 17th and 18th centuries. It discusses the creation of the Dominion of New England by the English crown to more tightly control the colonies, which upset colonists and led to uprisings. It also describes the Glorious Revolution in England, colonial wars with Native American tribes and the French, the suppression of piracy, imperial competition over Indian alliances, and the outbreak of the Seven Years' War between the British and French empires in North America.

Finally, it notes the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the importance of the French alliance in helping the Americans defeat the British.
The War of 1812
The War of 1812 had several important impacts:
1) It helped foster a distinct Canadian identity separate from British identity as Canadians united to defend themselves against American invasion.
2) Key battles were fought in Southern Ontario and the Great Lakes region, strengthening Canada's defense and sense of self.
3) The war ended in status quo with the Treaty of Ghent in 1814, but the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 was a decisive American victory that boosted American morale after the White House was burned.
American colonies extra credit
The dominion regime established by the new king in the late 1670s shocked the new English by vigorously enforcing the Navigation Acts and establishing a new vice-admiralty court in Boston.

Aspartame truth
This document summarizes an interview between Mike Adams and Dr. Russell Blaylock about excitotoxins such as MSG and aspartame. Dr. Blaylock discusses how excitotoxins like MSG promote cancer growth and metastasis by making cancer cells more mobile. Research shows that glutamate blockers can enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy in treating cancer. A recent Italian study found a link between aspartame consumption and increased rates of leukemia and lymphoma in animals. Industry suppression of this health information and the alliance between big business and the scientific community have allowed these chemicals to remain in the food supply.
Peoples and empires 1
Alexander the Great's ambition was to unite Asia and Europe through his conquest of Persia. He hoped to be remembered for his vision of an empire that provided space for diverse peoples. While his actual intentions are less clear, he became legendary in stories that exaggerated his achievements, depicting quests to discover the Nile's source and inventing a diving bell. Rome offered its citizens some protections and lifestyle, and its greatness came not just from military might but from prospects of wealth and glory. Towards the end, Roman society became very militarized, and Roman law became the basis for European legal systems and introduced the idea that warfare must be regulated to serve community ethics.
