Senegal have been sensationally stripped of their AFCON title won just two months ago, with Morocco declared as champions instead. The pair met in a highly-contentious final on January 18 in Rabat, Morocco – with Senegal emerging as 1-0 victors in extra-time thanks to Pape Gueye’s stunning strike. However, that goal was overshadowed by chaotic events in normal time – which included the eventual…

The Connection between Westward Expansion and the American Revolution

Map of North America after the Treaty of Paris of 1763

The British won vast territory in North America after the Seven Years’ War, but with the land came numerous problems of how to govern it. Conflicts arose from the inability of British officials to balance the interests of colonists and Indians, which led to colonial dissatisfaction with imperial rule and, ultimately, to the causes of the…

In December of 1787, leading American statesmen Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were both stationed in Europe on behalf of their fledgling country. Adams had been named the first U.S. minister to Great Britain in February, 1785 and Thomas Jefferson served as minister to France from 1785 to 1789. Comrades during the Revolutionary War, during their time in Europe, the two men were still good friends, although when they later returned to the United States their relationship fractured over radically different political outlooks. But when the Adamses left France after a residence of only eight months for another three years in England, John’s wife, future First Lady Abigail Adams, called Jefferson “one of the choicest ones of the earth.”

In 1787, the new United States Constitution was being debated in Philadelphia, and both Jefferson and Adams followed developments closely from afar. In an oft- quoted letter written by Adams to Jefferson on December 6, 1787, Adams referred to the “Project of the new Constitution,” and the various objections both men had to the evolving document. Adams famously declared “You are afraid of the one – I, of the few.” Jefferson detested the institution of monarchy and was concerned that the installation of a powerful executive would overturn the principles of the American Revolution and create a quasi-monarchy. Adams, on the other hand, feared the creation of an elite aristocracy in the form of senators. Because of his concern about such a possible oligarchy, Adams therefore maintained “I would have given more power to the President and less to the Senate,” and he advocated for a strong executive.

Kennt ihr die Läden, in denen ihr im Anhieb drin seid und euch eine familiäre Atmosphäre überkommt? KICKZ ist einer dieser Läden. Ich weiß selbst noch, als ich vor geraumer Zeit ein kleiner Stammkunde war. Das war zu der Zeit, als Turnschuhe für mich alles waren, vor allem die Jordans! Ich konnte mich einfach nicht satt sehen. Egal ob es ein 4er Thunder war; ein 4er Bred oder ein Jordan 3 Firered…

Let’s make America lesser again

Let’s make America lesser again … or the return to 1914. No one could think that a few months after a new President took his place in the White House America would lose its prominent role in the World. Today we can affirm that because of the decisions by President Trump, America has resigned the role he it has had since after the end of the Second World War.

We are not talking about power. Right…
