Absolutist Prussia
This PowerPoint presentation was created to accompany a lecture on the development of absolutism in Prussia in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Frederick William, the Great Elector, began building an absolutist state in Brandenburg-Prussia after the Thirty Years' War. This state was completed by his grandson, Frederick William I, the "Soldier King" of Prussia. The Fredericks built an absolutist state based on the principle of militarism, creating a military machine that was the envy of all of Europe. Prussia was the 12th largest nation in Europe and had the 4th largest army. Quite a ratio!

The Congress of Vienna
The Congress of Vienna met in 1815 to construct an agreement that would lead to stability and peace in post-Napoleonic Europe. Through the leadership of Prince Klemens von Metternich of Austria, Europe was put on a path to a relatively peaceful century. It would be 99 years before Europe would be torn apart by another major war.
The English Reformation
http://www.tomrichey.net
This PowerPoint was designed to accompany a lecture on the history of the English Reformation. The English Reformation began with a controversy over Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon. In order to ensure an orderly succession (and to marry the much more attractive Anne Boleyn), Henry steered the Act of Supremacy through Parliament, which declared him to be the Supreme Head of the Church of England. While Henry dissolved the monasteries and established the Anglican Church as separate from Rome, he made no major changes to Catholic doctrine (which he had defended in the early days of the Reformation).
Following Henry's death, England went through religious tumult during the short reigns of his more aggressively Protestant son, Edward VI, and his even more aggressively Catholic daughter, Mary I (aka, "Bloody Mary"). It took Elizabeth I's 44 year reign to establish England as a Protestant kingdom.

This is a follow-up to my lecture on Stuart Absolutism and the English Civil War, beginning with the Restoration of Charles II and ending with the Glorious Revolution and the English Bill of Rights. The Restoration monarchs (Charles II and James II) each had an uneasy relationship with Parliament. James II had an especially hard time as a Catholic monarch ruling a Protestant nation. In 1688, James' son-in-law, William of Orange, invaded England upon the invitation of Parliament and overthrew James. William and Mary signed the English Bill of Rights, bringing in a new era of cooperation between the Crown and Parliament.

The Second Industrial Revolution
http://www.tomrichey.net
While historians often refer to the Industrial Revolution that took place between 1760 and 1914, there were TWO distinct phases of industrial development that took place during this time. The latter period of development, from 1850-1914, is often referred to as the "Second Industrial Revolution." World Expositions, such as the Crystal Palace (1851) and the Columbian Exposition (1893), showcased the technological progress of this time period. This Second Industrial Revolution saw the development of the internal combustion engine, petroleum and electricity as sources of power, experimentation with chemicals, and a massive expansion of railroads. World War I and its unprecedented military technologies represented the culmination of the Second Industrial Revolution, which can be especially seen when the technologies used in WWI are compared with those used in the American Civil War.
Totalitarianism in Interwar Europe (Causes of World War II)
While Woodrow Wilson hoped that Europe would be made "safe for democracy" after World War I, interwar Europe was anything but safe for Democracy. Governmental collapse, nationalism, and economic problems all led to the rise of Totalitarian dictators in the USSR, Italy, Germany, and several other European nations. The rise of totalitarianism was one of the key causes of World War II.

The Philosophes (Enlightenment Thinkers)
During the Age of Enlightenment, the "philosophes" (French for philosopher) championed enlightened values of empiricism, freedom, science, reason, progress, and religious toleration. The Philosophes hailed from several European nations, such as France (Voltaire, Diderot, Montesquieu, Rousseau), Prussia (Kant), Scotland (Smith), and the United States (Jefferson, Franklin, Paine).
This PowerPoint presentation was designed to accompany a lecture on the Enlightenment for courses in Western Civilization, World History, and European History.

Reform in Britain (1815-1848)
As conditions for the working class worsened in industrialized Britain in the early 19th century, Karl Marx predicted that the British workers would rise up in a violent proletarian revolution. However, this was not to be, as Parliament embraced modest reforms to curb some of the most flagrant economic and social ills facing the nation at the time. Topics Covered include rotten boroughs, the Chartists, and the Corn Laws

Jacques-Louis David: French Neoclassical Painter
Jacques-Louis David was a French Neoclassical painter best known for his paintings of the French Revolution (Death of Marat) and Napoleon (Napoleon Crossing the Alps). David's paintings combined his enthusiasm with classical themes with the promises of a classical rebirth through the French Republic and the Napoleonic Empire.
French Wars of Religion
http://www.tomrichey.net
The French Wars of Religion were a series of armed conflicts between French Catholics and Huguenots (Calvinists) in the sixteenth century. The Catholic faction was led by Catherine de Medici and the Huguenots were led by Henry of Navarre, who would later become Henry IV of France. Upon becoming king, Henry converted to Catholicism ("Paris is worth a Mass.") and issued the Edict of Nantes, which granted Huguenots limited toleration and rights to practice their religion openly in certain cities.
The Thirty Years' War
http://www.tomrichey.net
The Thirty Years' War was fought in Europe from 1618-1648. It was the last major religious war in Europe and ended the violence of the Reformation. What started out as a local, religious conflict grew into a continent-wide political conflict over the Balance of Power. The Peace of Westphalia set the stage for the decline of the Holy Roman Empire and the rise of France as the most powerful nation in Western Europe.
Martin Luther's Doctrines (Protestant Reformation)
http://www.tomrichey.net
Martin Luther began the Reformation with his 95 Theses, which laid the groundwork for his doctrines of Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, and Sola Gratia. Luther's theology of justification through faith alone conflicted with Catholic teachings about salvation, which emphasize the role of the free human will cooperating with God and confirming a saving faith through good works.
Calvinism (Introduction to John Calvin's Reformed Theology)
http://www.tomrichey.net
While Martin Luther started the Reformation, John Calvin had as great an impact on European History a generation later when he published his Institutes of the Christian Religion. John Calvin was the first reformer to construct a systematic theology around Reformation principles. Calvin's theology is built around the concept of the sovereignty of God and completely negates any role for free will or human agency in the process of salvation. According to Calvinist doctrine, God predestined an Elect to be saved before the beginning of time.
When Calvinists took over a church, they whitewashed the interior and got rid of all paintings and statues. They also dressed in simple clothing, rejecting fashionable ornamentation. Although Calvin lived and taught in Switzerland, Calvinist communities sprang up throughout Europe, where they were known as Huguenots (France), Presbyterians (Scotland), Puritans and Separatists (England).
Causes of the Protestant Reformation
www.tomrichey.net
This PowerPoint presentation is designed to support a history lecture on the causes of the Protestant Reformation (simony, nepotism, absenteeism, uneducated priests, and the sale of indulgences). It begins with an explanation of the Pope's authority in early modern Europe and of the origins of the Latin Vulgate.
The Counter-Reformation
This PowerPoint presentation was designed to accompany a lecture on the Catholic Counter-Reformation with special emphasis on the Council of Trent, the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), and the revival of Catholic spirituality in response to the Protestant Reformation.
This presentation was designed primarily for AP European History and Western Civilization courses, but could be used for World History, Church History, and History of Religion courses, as well.
Humanism and the Italian Renaissance
This PowerPoint presentation is designed to introduce students to the Italian Renaissance and the worldview of the Renaissance humanists. Renaissance writers, such as Petrarch, Valla, Pico, Machiavelli, and Castiglione are introduced, in turn.

Mannerism (Late Renaissance Art)
After the end of the High Renaissance in the 1520s, Renaissance art continued to evolve as artists challenged the classical conventions of grace, symmetry, and proportion. The style of Mannerism emerged in the mid-sixteenth century with elongated figures that were painted to inspire a sense of grandeur and emotion rather than striving after ideal beauty.
The Mannerist style of painting can be best seen in Michelangelo's later works and in the works of Parmigianino and El Greco.
George Washington's Foreign Policy
As the French Revolution began to shake the foundations of Europe, George Washington found himself stuck between the Federalists, who wanted to strengthen economic ties with Britain, and the Jeffersonians, who wanted to the United States to express solidarity with her sister republic in France. Caught between two extremes, Washington chose the middle path of neutrality. The Citizen Genet affair and the unpopular Jay treaty presented challenges to Washington's administration, while Pinckney's Treaty settled boundary and navigation disputes with Spain.
The Golden Age of Latin Literature
The Golden Age of Latin Literature spanned from the time of Cicero to the death of Augustus. The Golden Age is divided into two periods: Ciceronian and Augustan. Writers of the Ciceronian period included Cicero (its namesake), Julius Caesar, and Catullus. Writers of the Augustan period included Livy, Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. Livy's History of Rome remains the most authoritative work on the earliest history of Rome. Virgil and Horace were both supported by Augustus, as these writers were very supportive of him in appreciation for his patronage. Ovid, whose poetry did not align as well with Augustus' civic goals, found himself exiled to Tomis on the Black Sea, where he spent the last decade of his life in sorrow.
The Road to Civil War (1850-1860)
This PowerPoint presentation is designed to cover a lecture on the events leading to the American Civil War between the Compromise of 1850 and the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. It includes the controversies surrounding the strenghtened Fugitive Slave Law, the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Bleeding Kansas, the Brooks-Sumner incident, Nativism, the Dred Scott decision, the Lincoln-Douglas debates, John Brown's Harpers Ferry raid, and the election of Abraham Lincoln.
Ancient Israel (Division and Diaspora)
This PowerPoint presentation was created to accompany a lecture on the division of ancient Israel into two kingdoms (Israel and Judah) and the subsequent conquest of these kingdoms by the Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian Empires. The fall of Israel and Judah resulted in a diaspora (scattering) of peoples across the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. After Cyrus the Great of Persia conquered the Babylonian Empire, he allowed Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple. In the centuries that followed, a messianic tradition developed, which promised a deliverer who would restore the Kingdom of Judah. Zionism emerged in the late 19th century with a similar goal of restoring a sovereign Jewish homeland. The modern nation of Israel, founded in 1948, represents the realization of the goals of the Zionist movement. To this day, modern Israelis contest over this land with its neighbors much like their ancestors did three thousand years ago.
The Whiskey Rebellion
The Whiskey Rebellion was an uprising of Western Pennsylvania farmers between 1791-1794 in response to Alexander Hamilton's excise tax on whiskey. A federal militia was organized in 1794 to put down the rebellion. When the rebels dispersed without a single shot being fired, Hamilton and the Federalists hailed it as a victory for the newly formed federal government created by the United States Constitution.
Principles of the Constitution
The United States Constitution provides three supports for limited government: federalism, separation of powers, and the Bill of Rights.
Legacies of the American Revolution
How revolutionary was the American Revolution? Historians generally classify the American Revolution as more of a political revolution than a social revolution, but there were some very important changes in American society following the Revolution that should not be overlooked. The ideals of the American Revolution were rooted in classical republicanism and egalitarian values, which can be seen in the prohibition of titles of nobility, the gradual emancipation of slaves in the North, and in laws guaranteeing religious liberty. While women did not gain the ability to vote after the Revolution, the ideal of republican motherhood necessitated a greater role for women in the education of their children. More than anyone else, George Washington embodied the republican ideals of the American Revolution, as seen in is commitment to agriculture, civic duty, and republican simplicity.
The American Enlightenment
This PowerPoint presentation was created to accompany a US History lecture on the American Enlightenment and its influence on American Founding Fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Paine.
The Virginia Colony
This PowerPoint presentation was created to accompany a lecture on the Virginia Colony in my US History courses. In the lecture, I discuss the failure of the Roanoke Colony, the rough start of the Jamestown Colony, the importance of tobacco agriculture (and the labor forces necessary to cultivate the labor-intensive cash crop), and the relationships between the settlers and the Powhatan Indians.
The Rise of Hitler
This PowerPoint slide presentation was created to accompany an academic lecture on Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany. Included in this lecture are factors leading to Hitler's radicalization and anti-Semitism as well as the key events on his road to power in Germany, including his leadership in the National Socialist German Workers Party, the Beer Hall Putsch, the publication of Mein Kampf, the Great Depression, the Reichstag Fire Decree, and the Enabling Act.

Mitt Romney's Trump Speech: A Modern Philippic
On Thursday, Mitt Romney delivered a scathing speech against Donald Trump, the current frontrunner for the GOP nomination. This speech was a philippic, closely following the format of the great Athenian orator, Demosthenes, who delivered three speeches in a vain attempt to rally his fellow Athenians against Philip II of Macedon. Cicero, the great Roman statesman and orator, used the same type of rhetoric in his fourteen philippics against Marcus Antonius in the final days of the Roman Republic.
Using historical synthesis, I argue that Mitt Romney's philippic won't be a decisive factor in the fight for the GOP nomination.
Copernicus and Galileo: A Scientific Revolution
These slides were designed to accompany a lecture on Copernicus and Galileo and their contributions to the development of heliocentric theory during the Scientific Revolution.
Trump and Hitler Compared
Godwin's Law states, "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1." Lately, no internet discussion about Donald Trump can be complete without at least one reference to Hitler. I've been asked by several people to evaluate these comparisons, so I designed these slides to accompany a recent lecture comparing Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler, noting similarities, differences, and nuances.

Dutch Golden Age Painting
During the Dutch Golden Age (17th c.), painters such as Rembrandt and Vermeer produced paintings in a variety of genres: historical painting, landscapes and cityscapes, portraits, genre (everyday life) painting, maritime scenes, and still lifes. The presentation was created to accompany a lecture introducing Art History and European History students to the art of the Dutch Golden Age.
The Wars of Louis XIV
During his reign, Louis XIV fought four wars: The War of Devolution, the Franco-Dutch War, the Nine Years' War, and the War of the Spanish Succession. In each of these wars, Louis sought to attain personal glory while strengthening France at the expense of other European powers. While Louis' legacy can often be controversial, he left France a more powerful country than he found it.

The Missouri Compromise
The Missouri Compromise was the result of the first debate in Congress concerning the spread of slavery, occurring in 1819-1820. When Missouri applied for admission into the Union, many in Congress objected to Missouri's admission as a slave state, supporting the Tallmadge Amendment that would have made gradual emancipation a condition for admission. When the Senate and the House could not agree on whether to pass the bill with or without the Tallmadge Amendment (the slave states had more influence in the Senate), Henry Clay proposed a compromise that brought Missouri into the Union as a slave state on the condition that Maine also be brought in as a free state and that all territories in the Louisiana Purchase north of the 36˚30 parallel be closed to slavery.
While many congratulated Henry Clay on a job well done, Thomas Jefferson worried greatly from his retirement at Monticello. He believed that the Missouri debate would only be the first of several debates regarding slavery and its expansion. While an opponent of the idea of slavery in the abstract, he did not see a path toward a practical end of slavery in the immediate future. With Jefferson's predictions coming true and the period between 1820-1860 being filled with debates concerning slavery, historians have often placed the Missouri Compromise at the beginning of the Antebellum (Before the War) Period.

Divine Right of Kings
These slides were created in order to accompany a lecture on the Divine Right of Kings, a philosophy appropriated by 17th century European monarchs in order to assert biblical pretensions to absolute power. Jacques Bossuet, Louis XIV's court preacher, was the primary expositor of this doctrine.

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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
