Middle Eastern States


World war one began a conflict within Israel and Palestine because Great Britain had failed to give the Jewish community the land that they were promised. This fighting is still continuing today in Israel. To try and fix this problem in the past Great Britain then tried to offer both Israel and Palestine separate states after World War two. Unfortuanetly this did not work out because the Palestine people were not infavor of this offer however the people of Israel were. Due to the Israel people likeing this plan they gained all the land and Palestine gained none. The people of Palestine were upset with this action of Israel getting all the land so they began and kept attcking to try and obtain more land. In my opinion i would solve this with a diplomatic solution of simply spliting the large land of Israel in half. Half of the people would be Palestine and half would be from Israel.

Czarist Russia




If you were to become part of the clergy under the rule of the Romanov Dynasty you could be collectivized into two groups. Both groups were alike yet different in many ways, and under the Czars rule russification was beginning to be greatly encouraged which often cause disputes. Living a simple life with a black robe wardrobe, and often working in the field is the life of a monk. A village priest is also a chosen lifestyle that contains the luxuries of white robes and marriage. To be a son of a priest you would most likely study theology, Latin, Greek and after proper discipline join a monastery. Maybe one could even learn to change the autocracy here. There are a few requirements in order to become part of the great clergy. One must study Latin, Greek and theology in seminary which means you need to earn you degrees. In order to be ordained one must take the responsibility of marriage. Village priests usually are busy trying to make ends meet due to there small amount of money they receive. Revolution around theses parts would benefit the people if it meant more money being available and helping the economy. The village priests lead worship services, read to the presents and often take trips throughout parishes performing ritual ceremonies. Continuing these religious ceremonies will bring this Czarist Russia together and hopefully help bring peace to the disruption cause by the Revolution of 1905.
