Abstract
The March First Movement saw many rallies staged in Korea during a two-month period in March 1919 for Korean independence. The Movement technically started on March 1, 1919, when 33 nationalist leaders declared the country's independence from Japan at a park in central Seoul. The declaration sparked protests by ordinary Koreans across the country. The Japanese colonialists oppressed the uprising by brutal force. Consequently, the March First movement failed to achieve its objective of Korean independence.

Independence for India
From the Paper
"Many of the leaders in India did not want to actively participate in World War II. History shows that Gandhi and Nehru wanted to tie any participation of their country in the war with independence for them. First, consider some facts about Mahatma Gandhi. This is explained in the article, "Mahatma Gandhi", (2006), Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's birth was in a small town called Porbander on October 1, 1869 (p. 1). He went to school in Rahkot due to the fact that his father was the prime minister of this area. Gandhi was actively involved in keeping peace between the Hindu and Muslims. One of Gandhi's problems was that he refused to see the two separate elements the Hindu and Muslims had (Mahatma Gandhi 2006). Gandhi wanted peace and independence for his country."

Abstract
This is a paper on the Mexican Independence. It discusses the three phases, beginning, middle, and end of the Mexican Independence. The author talks about the father of the Mexican Independence Father Hidalgo.
From the Paper
"Miguel Hidalgo started the Mexican Independence on September 16,1810. How did Mexico get to be a separate country from all the other countries, especially Spain? Father Hidalgo was a priest in the town of Dolores. He had been thinking about how life would be for everyone if the Spanish or any other country did not rule Mexico. Father Hidalgo and his small group, mostly of criollos, in Queretaro had gathered up to plan a rebellion for their independence. One of the criollos from the group had betrayed Hidalgo and the group as he told the Spanish government about their plans for the rebellion. The group found out that one of the criollos had betrayed them because the wife of the criollo told the group before the Spanish government had any time to catch and kill them. Hidalgo and his group of crillos had to act fast before the Spanish government arrested and killed them."

Abstract
This in-depth paper discusses the parallels between the colonial states and the independent African nations stressing that there are much more commonalities between the two than most critics would acknowledge. Writer Michael Crowder addresses the complaints of European nations and various media publications against the decline of the African nations since their independence from European colonial rule. The paper also details Europe's desire for the former African colonies to create and maintain a liberal democracy in order to achieve political and economic independence.
From the Paper
"Crowder does not see the same "African disaster" that so many others see. When looking at Africa in total with its history of rule under colonialism and the haphazard manner at which independence had been thrusted at the African nations, it is amazing that these African nations have survived and achieved the successes that they have done so today. Where others saw despair in the African nations, Crowder saw success and hope for a brighter African future. He first examines the parallels between the colonial states and the independent African nations, stressing that there are much more commonalities between the two than the critics would acknowledge."

Abstract
The paper discusses the two world wars and the many economic factors that lead to India's eventual independence. The paper looks at India's political institutions devoted to India's independence and the British policy concerning India during the Second World War that impacted Indian decolonisation.
From the Paper
"Historians have contested the factors involved in the failures and ultimate success of the Indian movement for independence. Historians such as Stanley Wolpert believe the aftermath of the First World War sparked the mass movement towards Indian independence. However, John Gladdis argues the Second World War was the main factor that ended the British rule in India and understates the credibility of Wolpert's notion that the First World was the deciding and final factor."

Abstract
This paper explains that Thomas Jefferson chose each word of the U.S. Declaration of Independence with care and committees revised it with prudence, giving the nation with a very carefully planned, meticulously executed statement, which is extremely effective in its brevity, clarity and logical progression. The author points out that the very first word, "when", implies that the statement to follow is inevitable; the framers of this declaration could have used the word "if" but this (1) would diminish the drive of the sentence by making the later "dissolving" of political bands uncertain and (2) would make the action of declaring independence an option rather than a duty. The paper relates that the second paragraph showcases the simple logical progression of Thomas Jefferson's brilliance and serves as the moral and philosophical grounds for separation and for the colonists duty to throw off an oppressive government. Several quotations.
From the Paper
""To assume" has a double meaning in its usage in the above paragraph. To assume can mean to presuppose something (here it is the separate and equal station that the colonies felt that they had a right to enjoy). Also, the word assume means to take responsibility upon one's self. It is a statement directed toward the colonies' rights to enjoy a separate and equal status, and their willingness, even eagerness to take on whatever responsibility that may entail. If the Declaration of Independence is to be viewed from the vantage that it was written, then it would be appropriate to assume that the Nature's God referred to in this passage is, in fact, the deist God. The very fact that the word Nature comes before Nature's God suggests the subordinate role of God in the everyday world."

Abstract
The struggle for Cuban independence from Spanish rule involved many people. Some of the key figures were Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, Jose Marti, Maximo Gomez and Antonio Maceo. The paper shows that Cleveland and McKinley worked to maintain the status quo in Cuba, but events overcame their efforts. Marti, Gomez, and Maceo gave their lives to the cause of Cuban independence. An analysis in this paper of these men?s actions leading up to the Spanish-American War provides an interesting study in diplomacy, the power of the press and the use of guerrilla tactics.

II. Grover Cleveland
III. William McKinley
IV. Jose Marti
V. Maximo Gomez and Antonio Maceo
VI. Conclusion
VII. Bibliography
From the Paper
"On 22 June 1997, McKinley received Calhoun?s report that concluded that Spain could not end the rebellion. Calhoun criticized Weyler?s reconcentration policy, which sought to deny the insurgents a base of operations, but caused terrible hardship for the Cuban people. Calhoun also concluded that Cuban independence was not feasible. McKinley reacted to Calhoun?s report by sending a diplomatic note to Spain on 26 June 1897. In it, he demanded that Spain fight the war in accordance with humanitarian considerations, and he called for the replacement of Weyler. McKinley further stated that if Spain failed to improve conditions in Cuba that he would have no choice except to take steps to ensure peace on the island. Spain wished to avoid a confrontation with the US."

From the Paper
"In 1944 Albert Einstein said, "Generations to come, it may be, will scarcely believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon earth." He was talking about Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi's real name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. His followers called him Mahatma (or Great Soul) as though it were his first name. In India he is also Father of the Nation (Wikipedia, 2006). Because Gandhi was such a complex person, it is difficult to try to capture who he really was."

John Locke and the American Declaration of Independence, 2007.
This paper demonstrates John Locke's influence on the Declaration of Independence.

Abstract
The paper analyzes the importance of John Locke's philosophy on the American Declaration of Independence of 1776. The paper examines various segments of Locke's "The Second Treatise of Civil Government" and shows how the textual language within the Declaration of Independence reflects his philosophy. The paper discusses the historical proof that Locke was not merely a secondary influence on the document but that he was a main philosophical component of the birth of the American republican ideology.
From the Paper
"The first philosophical basis of the Declaration of Independence was found upon Enlightenment philosophers, such as John Locke. In many ways, the development for a new phase of human freedom was being known through such terms as "natural rights", which were based on new perspectives about Nature and the way that human beings interrelated within a government prospectus. Although some may argue that Locke played a minor part in the many influences on the document, it is apparent that his philosophy is paramount to the anti-monarchical disposition of the Continental Congress. The dictates of new governing principle relied on the importance of human liberty for all, not simply the few that controlled government."
