Bismarck [History; Advanced Listening; mp3]

The Iron Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck -one of Europe's leading statesmen in the 19th Century and credited with the unification of Germany. He had a voracious ambition for his home state Prussia and made it indomitable among other states in the German Confederation. There was also the conflict that marked the beginning of his expansionist aims, a conflict that has gone down in history as a by-word for incomprehensible wars.

How the Constitution Was Created (The U.S. Government: How It Works)Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, James Madison, and George Washington met to restore rights and liberties that Great Britain had taken away. When Britain refused to meet the demands from that congress, the colonists called the Second Continental Congress in 1775. During this period, Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence and a group of colonists created the Articles of Confederation, America’s first constitution. They also named George Washington the commander of the new Continental Army.

From Nursery Rhymes to Nationhood
7
 
 
From Nursery Rhymes to NationhoodAs Canada came to terms with its new role as an independent nation following Confederation in 1867, there was a call for a new literary voice to express the needs and desires of a new country. Children's literature was one of the means through which this new voice found expression. Seen as a tool for both entertaining and educating children, this material is often overtly propagandist, and addresses some of the key political, economic, and social concerns of Canada as it struggled to maintain national unity in the years following Confederation.
