SummaryTraditionally, the media tend to focus their attention on the Latino migration in States such as Texas, California, New Mexico, in other words on southern states close to the Mexican border.
The East Coast seems to be completely forgotten as if it remained the gateway of the Europeans into America. It seems that there is no Latino community along the Atlantic if one is to listen to the newspapers.
This vision is naturally untrue and I chose the example of New York City, home to a large Latino community, to emphasize the diversity of the Latino migration to the United States of America. New York in particular strikes my interest as Ellis Island among other symbols of the European migration to the US are located in this particular city whereas ironically, most of today’s migrants come from the Americas.
How did this shift from a mainly European destination to a predominantly Latino place of settlement occur?
First, I will examine the actual shift in terms of history and study the reasons underpinning this tremendous change. Secondly, I will emphasize the geographical implications of this shift within the city, more precisely where the new migrants settled and how the face of New York changed over the decades. Lastly, I will address the future of this new wave of migration and try to hypothesize whether this change is to last or not.

SummarySome events stamp on the history of mankind forever : the French Revolution is definitely one of these. Indeed, really few upheavals such as this one triggered so many thoughts, comments and passionate reactions all over the world. Although lot of scholars tried to understand and qualify this period, many interpretations actually remain. This stands for the difficulty to understand the real impact of such an astonishing event.
In reality, these difficulties are deeply rooted in two specific characteristics of the French Revolution : the question of its own intensity, and therefore the question of its real legacy.
to what extent had the French Revolution (1789-1815) a strong and global influence over the nineteenth century in France ?

SummaryClassical Antiquity is a broad term for a long period of cultural history centred on the Mediterranean Sea, which begins roughly with the earliest recorded Greek poetry of Homer (7th century BC) and continues through the rise of Christianity and the fall of the Western Roman Empire (5th century AD). The term Late Antiquity suggests that the social and cultural priorities of Classical Antiquity endured throughout Europe into the beginning of the middle Ages (700/800 AD).
A first impression of the history of geographical thought and the expansion of knowledge through conquest and exploration tends to focus attention on the Mediterranean world. As the island of Ireland was never formally incorporated into the Roman Empire, it remained free from Roman influence and existed as a relatively isolated corner of Celtic culture.

Table of Contents- In the classical antique Roman sources, Ireland is related as a space of oddity, in terms both of its geography and its inhabitants
- The transformation of the image of the Irish in late Antiquity is largely due to the Christianisation of Ireland

SummaryThe development of media in the Western Germany during the period of the Allied Occupation (1945-1949) and in the first decade of the Federal Republic (1949-1959)
The media is present all around the world. The media tries to express facts, entertainment, opinion, and other information. In this way, newspapers, magazines, cinema films, radio, television, Internet, books, and other forms of publishing are an approach to communication.
Mass media tends to reach a large audience, in particular in the 1920’s with the expansion of radio networks and the mass-circulation of newspapers and magazines.
Western Germany, between 1945 and 1959 can be separated into two periods. The first is the Allied Occupation, started after the defeat of World War II in 1945. Western Germany was divided into three areas. These areas were controlled by America, Britain and France. The Federal Republic -West Germany- was proclaimed in 1949.
What are the main points of the development of media in West Germany while it was emerging from defeat in World War II? How did the media cope with, and what were their attitudes towards the Allied Occupation and the early of the new government –the Federal Republic?
The role of print media and broadcasting (radio and television) were important in the development of media.

SummaryRichard Cobden was much involved in politics. In Great Britain, after Napoleonic wars, Corn Laws were passed. In Cobden’s opinion the policy implemented in these famous bills was very questionable. Indeed, Frédéric Bastiat’s close friend devoted his entire life to free trade and pacifism.
First of all I will focus on describing the British society and the economic context. Then I will present Richard Cobden and the Anti-Corn Laws League.

SummaryThe Greek civil war took place between 1943 and 1949. It is one of the most painful episodes of Greece history. We can wonder what was the role of the Greek civil war in the International History of post war era, especially its belonging to the transitional period between the end of the Second World War and the start of the Cold War.
First, I will show that this war was not merely a domestic issue. Then, I will describe the characteristics of the Anglo-American interventions in Greece which gave to the Greek civil war its international dimension. Finally, I will show that this conflict was an important episode of the cold war even if the involvement of western powers was based on incorrect perceptions of Soviet objectives.

SummaryTrying to determine what the motives of the migrants to the new world were is a difficult quest because motivations were diverse depending on the colonies. The migrants could be motivated by economical considerations. They thought they could have a better life, to be richer in North America by escaping hard times in the mother land. There were also religious considerations. Leaving to North America was seen a new start, as a way to build a society more conform to religious behaviours.
We can wonder if religious purposes were the determinant factors or not of immigration in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and as a consequence if religion lies at the heart of Early American identity. As New England was a good example of this paradox between economic and religious purposes in emigration we will focus on the Puritans to point out their motivations.

SummaryGregorio and Asunta, a Peruvian Indian couple, tell their life stories in “Andean lives”, a pair of autobiographical narratives edited by two young anthropologists. The story takes place in the highlands of Peru, where millions of indigenous inhabitants who represent the cultural majority, suffer from exploitation and domination. Indeed highland area retains its predominantly Indian culture and traditions. Cuzco, the ancient Incan capital, remains the centre of traditional Indian society today.. In total, the highlands give Peru the fourth highest concentration of Indians in all Latin America. These narratives are first hand testimony and represent one of the first attempts to make indigenous people tell their life stories. This book is very rich and tells us the brutality of everyday life in the highlands in both urban and rural areas. It covers a broad aspect of their lives.
In this essay I will focus on specific issues related in these narratives. I will talk about the social structure of the highlands and then explore the experiences of the indigenous people living in the highlands with racism and domination. Indeed despite the fact that the indigenous people compose a majority in the highlands they are dominated and exploited by the higher social classes. Thus we can wonder how the specific class structure of the highlands allows such dramatic life conditions for indigenous people.

SummaryFrance and Germany were during the interwar era one of the key elements of international relations. They were the two most involved powers in World War I. This war was not the last as many people hoped. Once again the two powers were very involved in the Second World War. Therefore, it is essential to analyse and compare the foreign policies of France and Germany to understand the breakout of the war. In this paper we will compare the foreign policies of both Germany and France and point up the impact of these policies on international relations and international order. First we have to consider the opposition of the two policies and then highlight the continuity of these policies during all the interwar era.

SummaryThe term “Stalinism” refers to the brutal dictatorship which lasted from 1927 to 1953 in
Russia and Eastern European countries. Although he was the leader of Soviet Russia, after the Second World War Stalin soon became the dictator of a Soviet Union which had expanded to most of Eastern Europe. Indeed Stalin along with the Western leaders, rapidly divided up the spheres of influence of the victors of WWII, during unofficial meetings, such as in Churchill's visit to Stalin in October 1944, or official ones, such as the Yalta or the Potsdam meetings, in February and June 1945 respectively. By the end of Potsdam, the satellization of Eastern Europe was nearly complete , and soon the Stalinist system applied to Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland. Stalin's government has been defined as “A totalizing system, legitimized in terms of perfection, managed by convinced utopians and backed up by terror”. What were the central features of Stalinism in Eastern Europe?
