Emotions

HAPPINESS




This causes me the emotion of happiness because it makes me laugh every time I feel sad or angry.

SADNESS





This causes me the emotion of sadness because the thought of my boyfriend leaving the country in a couple of months makes me very sad.

Historical Reasoning

French Revolution

The French society wanted to take monarchy out and let democracy rule instead; they succeeded, but there were various deaths.

Crusades


The crusades were all about restoring the control of the Christians. The pursue of anti- Catholics was made and they killed various people just because of religious beliefs.

Discovery of America

It was good because we discovered a new part in the world we didn't know existed. It was bad because the Indian population was exploited, mistreated, and enslaved, decimating their population.
