UCSD CSE Tutors

UCSD CSE TutorsA recent U.S. News and World Report article on the value of a college course-granting institution to potential students had a couple of CSE tutors in mind. At that same time, this article didn't make it clear that each CSE course offered at UCSD is an independent study and cannot be assigned as an A, B, or AP course.In addition, a newspaper headline reading 'Women More Likely Than Men to Take Counseling Courses' which was recently published in the California Collegiate Student has led some students to ask if UCSD's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) make use of one or more CSE instructors. CAPS does not provide a formal definition of how many instructors are necessary to complete CSE courses, but in some cases, there will be an instructor that teaches the required two upper division CSE courses in order to pass the course.Students should continue to contact their regular instructor of choice if they feel they need to enroll in CSE courses from other schools. UCSD Counseling and Psychological Services encourage faculty members and staff to discuss the issues associated with the CSE course with the community faculty members to ensure that CSE is taught competently and consistently.Furthermore, even if no California PSLNet or other instructor certification is required for CSE credit, a student should choose a CSE course from an instructor who use instructor-led techniques and resources, rather than teaching from a textbook management system. In addition, a CSE tutor must be skilled in the use of interactive whiteboards and phones, so it is necessary to have a close working relationship with an instructor.In addition, a primary objective of CSE is to become familiar with new technologies, such as Social Media and Technology, which are required elements of learning when taking courses such as CPA exam prerequisites. The California PSLNet for all subjects lists all course usage and information. Any course that is not listed as completed is no t complete, but is considered to be on a tentative schedule for completion.The United States Government maintains a list of accredited CSE courses, which can be obtained by visiting their website and clicking on the tab labeled 'Courses Approved by PSLNet.' Several state departments of education and departments of health services have also published information regarding course offerings.The Department of Finance, Taxation, and Economic Policy and the Department of Health Services have also published informational lists concerning course requirements and price lists. This information is usually based on the state department requirements but can be used by students to determine whether the course meets state requirements.Any course that has been approved by PSLNet, California State University, or any of the departmental departments may be used as a CSE course. A student should consult with the instructors for a review of their course listing.

Where To Look For The Top Type Of Bay Area Tutoring Center

Where To Look For The Top Type Of Bay Area Tutoring CenterIt's time to start looking at what your options are for the top level program in the Bay Area that you're interested in attending. But before we get started, let's get something straight... Some people choose to attend the school of their choice while others will choose the school of their choice if they can afford it, but the fact remains that many people find a school that fits their skill set and their needs that they'll attend whether they chose a private or public school.In this case, one way to find a school to attend is to check out the local Bay Area business organization. These business organizations have a directory of schools in the area as well as information on those schools' overall performance. They also provide access to the school's financial aid program, if there is one. It's important to keep these things in mind if you decide to use the business directories.Another place to look is in your local bookstore. This is one place where you may be able to get help with your decision. There is a wealth of information available in the books section. Even though some of this information may not directly relate to your choice of school, if you have a specific skill set, you might be able to identify a school that will teach that skill and the school you choose can offer you information on where to find such a teacher.The web is another place you can use to find out about schools in the Bay Area. Many of these websites can also serve as a resource for other Bay Area folks, particularly when it comes to matching your skills to a teacher or training you so that you can better attend to your own personal needs. Web sites like SchoolFind can even match you up with a Bay Area tutoring center that's right for you.But the best place to find a school isn't necessarily one of these sites. It's point-of-purchase type of experience. If you go into any Bay Area business or bookstore and ask for information a bout a school, chances are you will be able to find a school within the hour.You can also visit websites of the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, which often publishes a list of schools that they feel are worthwhile. Be sure to ask for a list that includes all of the local schools, because there are several private schools that are part of the BACC and there are also some that have opened their doors to the public.There are a lot of different factors to consider when selecting a school. Your skill set, your personal needs, your particular area, and of course, the school itself are all important when choosing which school to attend. With the right amount of diligence and planning, you'll find a Bay Area tutoring center that will meet your needs and enhance your educational experience.

Teacher Tenure Under Scrutiny

Teacher Tenure Under Scrutiny When reports surfaced that the American education system was lagging behind that of other countries, people began pointing fingers and blaming different practices. Now, politicians are blaming teacher tenure, claiming it is one of the reasons for Americas subpar educational system, according to an article the New York Times. This action was motivated by President Barack Obamas call to reward effective teaching, which was restated in this years State of the Union Address. Some Republican politicians have interpreted this as removing the ineffective teachers or removing teacher tenure. Governors in Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Nevada and New Jersey have called for the complete removal of teacher tenure, claiming it will help improve the overall quality of public education. This legislation could pass because many schools are experiencing tighter budgets, which has decreased the authority of teachers unions. Its practically impossible to remove an underperforming teacher under the system we have now, said Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada. Nevada has the lowest high school graduation rate in the nation. Sandoval told the New York Times that eliminating teacher tenure would help schools select and use the best teachers. Districts could then remove teachers based on competence, not seniority, claims Sandoval. Others believe that districts should invest more in the hiring process, ensuring that every teacher is competent. Why arent governors standing up and saying, In our state, well devise a system where nobody will ever get into a classroom who isnt competent? Dennis Van Roekel, president of the National Education Association, told the New York Times. Instead they are saying, Lets make it easy to fire teachers. Thats the wrong goal. The current tenure system is not bullet-proof for teachers. Public school teachers usually get tenured after two or three years of teaching and can still be removed if deemed ineffective. However, once teachers are tenured they have a right to a due-process hearing before they can be removed. This process can be time consuming and expensive; so many politicians are calling to end the system, giving districts freedom to remove ineffective teachers without a due-process hearing. Many organizations have been performing studies, attempting to link students achievement directly to teachers performance. These organizations believe that teachers should be compensated based on their students achievements. Politicians are now taking this notion a step further, claiming that if strong student achievements can give teachers a raise, then poor student achievements should be enough to remove a teacher, even if tenured. Many of these politicians are forming their arguments around a student-first mentality, claiming that public school systems need to provide students with the best possible education and resources, rather than catering to teachers wants. Teachers unions are expressing strong concerns, claiming that this system could be abused. They are concerned that if tenure is removed then districts that are facing drastic budget cuts could simply remove expensive teachers with high salaries.

Different Ways To Apply To College

Different Ways To Apply To College Technology is rapidly creating more ways to apply for college and continually taking the tedium out of the process, according to an article in The New York Times. High school students can now choose from the Common Application, the Common Black Application, XAP, Embark, Superapp and the Universal College Application. All of these application formats promise to save students time by allowing them to fill in academic and personal information only one time for all colleges the student wishes to apply to and accept the application. These new technologies are creating more applicants for each college and allowing students to broaden their possible college selections. The Common Application:The non-profit application began the-one-application-fits-all trend and 414 colleges and universities accept it. Its available online and in hard-copy form at a guidance counselors office. Students are asked to provide a short, personal statement and a longer essay on a topic of the students choice with a minimum of 250 words. This was designed so students would not have to create a completely custom application for every college. The creators encourage students not to tailor their essays to each college. There is an individual fee for each additional college a student applies to, set by the college not the app. Universal College Application: Created bya for-profit group, this application is accepted by 77 colleges and universities, over 50 of which also accept the Common Application. It does not ask for an essay; however, some colleges who accept this application require one with a maximum of 500 words. However, the essay can only be seen by colleges who require or encourage it. This online only application encourages students to link their personal web portfolios, social media pages, online newspapers, blogs or compositions. Common Black College Application: This application is accepted at 35 historically, black colleges and offers a standard one-time fee of $35; rather than charging the student for each additional college he/she chooses to apply to. XAP: This application is growing, and it processed nearly 4 million applications in 2009. Students can apply online to nearly 900 colleges and universities for which XAP has customized online applications. With XAP, most states allow students to apply electronically to all private and public colleges and universities. The built-in, online program imports a students information from one colleges application to anothers. The application calls these mentor systems, and they are ran and funded by the states education departments and not the colleges. So the XAP affiliation is not always advertised on a colleges website, even though it accepts it. Embark: This appoffers an auto fill option for students basic information, including a profile with personal and academic information. Then students can select all the colleges they wish to apply to (that accept Embark) and the basic information is automatically filled in. However, this is not a complete application, and students will need to complete other essay sections that are unique to each college. Nearly 640 colleges and universities accept this application; however, fewer than 20 accept it electronically. Most students will download and print a PDF file, generated by Embark; then mail it to their selected colleges. Superapp: This application is available at nearly 2,500 high schools and districts and is accepted at about 1,500 colleges and universities. A student selects a college he/she wishes to apply to; then that college simply accesses a students data (G.P.A., test scores, class rank) straight from the information systems at his/her high school. The creators state that this process happens automatically with little or no intervention from guidance counselors, and that this information completes about 80 percent of a colleges application. Students will then have to fill in the remaining 20 percent of essays and other unique processes. This process is free to high schools, and it creates more timely application turnout. This is one of the newest applications.

Why is Origami Important to Japanese Culture

Why is Origami Important to Japanese Culture How Important is Origami to Japanese Culture? ChaptersWhy Origami is Attributed to Japanese CultureThe Meaning of OrigamiThe Breadth of Paper Crafts in JapanIf you’ve ever eaten at a Benihana or other Japanese restaurant, you may have been struck by the presentation of the food and of the dining elements â€" specifically how your napkin was folded.Your place setting might have been graced by an origami swan, or maybe the napkin was folded into a cunning pocket for your chopsticks...Did said restaurant have red paper lanterns on display, possibly with ideograms painted on them?Although those lanterns are reinforced with wire, they nevertheless fall under the origami umbrella because they are primarily made of paper.Incidentally, it is not difficult to make such a lantern; you can follow these easy step instructions to make origami paper lanterns of your own...To take the relationship between Japan and origami one step further: it wouldn’t be much of a stretch to conclude that a kimono, the traditional Japanese wrapped garment is akin to making origami.One must wrap the kimono and fold the obi â€" the wide waistband just so; origami must also be precisely folded.It was during Japan’s Edo period (1603-1867) that the kimono became truly stylised; it was also during that time that origami found its place in Japanese culture.These days, while kimono-wearing has been relegated to special occasions, especially weddings, origami remains a pastime for young and old. However, it is quite common to make kimonos out of money.Money origami is a niche art, especially using US currency because a dollar bill does not have the same dimensions as standard origami paper.But we’re not talking about origami in the United States; our topic today is origami in Japan, specifically why that paper art is such an integral part of their culture.Still, if you must know, origami is quite popular in the states; so much so that the Ginter Botanical Garden in Virginia routinely puts Japanese paper creations on display and lets chil dren of all ages float origami boats in their ponds.Enough about that! Our focus is the chain of islands on the other side of the world and what origami represents for them.Let's get on with it!

Image by Sasin Tipchai from PixabayYou may be disappointed to find that origami did not originate in Japan, nor were/are they the only culture to practise the art of paper folding.If you are a Japanophile, you may already know that the Chinese ‘invented’ paper and had been plying paper as an art form long before Buddhist monks introduced papermaking in Japan.To this day, the ancient art of paper cutting, kirigami in Japanese, is more popular in China than in Japan.Kirigami and kusudama â€" glueing or sewing several origami shapes together used to feature in Japanese origami but, when the Shogun ruled the country (off and on between 1192 and 1867) they standardised origami and made origami folding a part of their training.Are you wondering how sitting for hours, folding origami can train someone to handle a samurai?Even simple origami takes patience and precision to execute; those are two qualities every warrior needs. B esides, the ability to visualise â€" to see shapes in an otherwise unremarkable sheet of paper promotes thinking skills and imagination.Finally, using both hands to make a mountain fold, a valley fold and a multitude of creases improves hand-eye coordination, a quality every soldier needs.These reasons to turn sheets of paper into distinct shapes still hold true today; they are why classes in origami for kids offers so many educational benefits even though they are not being conditioned to swing samurai swords.Meanwhile, before paper made its way to Europe, people there amused themselves with napkin folding but, once paper came along (and became affordable), it was not uncommon for children to amuse themselves by making toys out of paper.For example, the fortune teller has a centuries-long history on the continent and it made its way to our shores almost 100 years ago.All of that still does not explain why the art of folding paper is attributed to Japan exclusively.We need to find m ore reasons... Did you know that protein sequences have been modelled using origami? Image by _Alicja_ from PixabayThe Meaning of OrigamiLet’s say that, for you, a square piece of paper represents unlimited possibilities.You might make an origami rose out of it, or an origami box that, once a few coats of lacquer are applied, will make a wonderful gift.You might make a paper aeroplane to distract a young child or a paper boat s/he can set afloat in the pond.What does origami mean to you? Do you build origami models for the sake of creation? For stress relief? To hone your fine motor skills?What do you want to represent in the origami designs you make?In no way are these questions ambiguous for Japanese origami enthusiasts. Their ancient Japanese traditions speak to them loud and clear as they make their folds.the origami dragon is a symbol of power, wisdom and successby contrast, the dragonfly represents strength, courage and good luckthe origami butterfly is symbolic of a girl growing into a you ng womanan origami frog in the pocketbook means that spent money will returnthe origami cat stands for strength, self-assurance and independenceThese origami animals are all significant in but there is one origami bird that outshines every animal you might make out of folded paper.Cranes have a special significance in Japanese culture.Not only are they thought to live for 1,000 years â€" hence they are a symbol of long life, but they believe that folding a thousand cranes will make their fondest wish come true.You can learn more about the symbolism of origami in our related article.Origami cranes are made more poignant by the story of a young, cancer-stricken girl.In the aftermath of the Hiroshima blast, many were afflicted with life-threatening illnesses. Young Sadako, embroiled in a fight for her life, set out to fold one thousand paper cranes so that her wish to be rid of her cancer might come true.Upon entering the children’s cancer ward she realised the futility of her exerci se but continued to fold every origami crane she could, believing that, if she attained senbazuru â€" literally ‘a thousand cranes’, her wish for lasting peace would come true.She exceeded her goal and, having folded a total of 1,300 such birds, leaving an unrivalled legacy.Touched by her story, after her death, her classmates petitioned for a statue of her to be erected as an eternal plea for hope for peace. To this day, people from all over the world send origami cranes to be laid at her memorial.If you didn’t know the story behind the iconic paper crane until now, surely it will persuade to you pick up a pack of Washi paper and learn how to fold them.If you don’t yet know how to make an origami crane, you can find video tutorials or written folding instructions online.See the different available art courses near me here. Origami boxes such as these are often traded in Japan; usually they contain a sweet or a lucky star Image by Letterblade from PixabayThe Breadth of Paper Crafts in JapanThink back to your school days or, if you’re currently in school, take a moment to review the type of work you do there.Did/does any of it involve paper craft? Do you remember being assigned any origami projects?It is quite common for students in the UK to work with coloured paper and tissue paper, especially up to the first Key Stage but, after that, we get into more ponderous topics like art appreciation or painting and drawing.In our schools, we’re not actually taught how to make origami let alone how to make paper, which is surprisingly easy.Now, let’s take that thought a bit further: were you shown how you can use easy origami to understand geometry and vertices or create tessellations? Have you modelled any complex shapes using 3D origami?Would you be wildly surprised to learn that such learning is commonp lace in Japan primary schools?There, children learn folding technique before they are old enough for school. Parents help their children make easy paper constructions; maybe an origami heart or origami flowers.As little fingers fold and crease, they hear the stories of their culture.  They learn how bokashi â€" the shading or gradation of paper can enhance their designs and how to create kawaii creatures.Kawaii is Japan’s particular brand of ‘cute’.All of this happens before they are enrolled in school so that, by the time the teacher hauls out the square paper, they already know how to fold origami.Even better: they are already endowed with the patience to sit still for long periods, the perseverance to work through frustrations and precision to fold just about any origami model, as long as it is not too complex.From an early age, Japanese children are indoctrinated into the wonders of origami â€" Satoshi Kamiya, the world’s most renown origami artist, avers he started fold ing when he was two years old.There is no doubt that origami is important to the Japanese; possibly more important to their culture than any other â€" even though it is extensively used to model engineering applications all over the world.For their culture of cute, for their traditions and history, even for all of the Japanese words that populate the vocabulary of origami, we could rightly say that origami is Japanese art.Even if people in other countries have long amused themselves by folding paper origami.

Work, work, and more work...Of course, a private tutor can’t perfo rm miracles if you’re not putting the effort in! Working on your own outside of your tutorials can also be very beneficial!When it comes to academic support, the private tutor has to follow the national curriculum, which they can help you with by giving your adapted exercises to do on your own when they’re not there. To better advance and improve, use extra work outside of class in order to help you learn better!If you follow your tutor’s approach to learning, there’s a strong chance that you’ll be able to lighten your workload during the private tutorials.However, working on your own isn’t just a good idea for academic support tutorials.For example, if you’re working with a sports coach, they’ll probably teach you the techniques in order to work more effectively on your own.Make sure you train outside of our tutorials, too!

Most of our tutors offer free tutoring for the first hour, meaning there’s no risk for you if it doesn’t work out!Going with a younger tutor can save you a lot of money since their hourly rates are usually lower!For example, if a younger maths tutor charges £15 (with the average being £21), you could save nearly £50 per month if you have two tutorials a week.

They worry that a reduced rate means a reduced qual ity.There’s always an inherent risk when you spend any money: whether it’s pennies or thousands, you can never guarantee that you’ll get on great with your tutor.Prices for private tuition vary considerably, and if you decide to pay less for your tutor, you’ll have to compromise on a few things.For example, your tutor could refuse to travel to your house since they’ll end up paying half their hourly rate in petrol.It might be best to find a place halfway like a library or café.The same can be said for their schedule: If you’ve decided to go with private tutorials from a university student, you’ll have to understand that their timetable can change from one term to the next and they mightn’t always be able to provide tutorials at the same time or day!University students also have really busy schedules. (Source: Journalism Research News)The qualitative issues are normally those that cause the most problems.When it comes to academic support, there are fewer risks since tutors can follow the national curriculum.Of course, experience can still be an issue. However, our young tutors should know how to motivate students and provide tailored private tutorials since they’re usually working towards becoming a teacher.On the other hand, when it comes to leisure or sporting tutorials, you’ll have to concede a few of the privileges you get from the more expensive tutors!For example, you can’t expect your “low-cost” sports coach to bring all the latest equipment with them (dumbells, weights, mats, etc). You’ll therefore have to put in a bit of effort if you want to be the next Arnold Schwarzenegger!Don’t forget that there’s no obligation to keep having your tutorials: Since you have the first hour free, if you choose to keep searching for a better tutor, you can do so!This is one of the many advantages of Superprof: you can save money on your private tutorials by leaving your doors open to the rising stars of the tutoring world.

ChaptersMedieval HistoryModern HistoryArt HistoryHistory is a science in and of itself and like most if not all scientific fields, History is divided into many more sub-categories, each specifically studying a period of Human history or a specific region of the world.If you are studying for a History degree or you are already an undergraduate aiming for a bachelor, you will most likely study many though not all, aspects of History.With the rise of civilisations, not in one unique location on the planet but everywhere man had settled, many different cultures emerged across the globe. Each of these cultures possesses their own history, often written down by local historians but frequently passed from a generation to the other through oral tradition.Not only history is divided chronologically and geographically, but some fields of history also study specific subjects of Human culture, such as:Political history, which studies the story of government, political leaders, elections, policie s and the interaction between the different branches of governmentDiplomatic history, which studies the relations between countries, ambassadors, and ideas of diplomacySocial history, which studies the ways and customs of a people, of families and children, education, as well as demography, and social institutions such as churches.Cultural history, which studies languages and their uses, the arts including literature, sports and   other entertainments and the way they participate in constructing cultural identitiesEconomic history, which studies how a whole system of production and consumption (or of any of its parts) works, of businesses, industry, banks, and working classes at all levels of the systemIntellectual history, which studies ideology and epistemology and works to analyze how ideas affect human lives and how the material world influences human ideas.There is much more than that still. There is even a field of History called Historiography, which is  the history of histor y. Instead of subjecting actual events - say, the conquest of England by William, Duke of Normandy - to historical analysis, the object of historiography is the history of the  history  of the event: how it has been written, the often conflicting bias pursued by those writing about it through time, and the way in which such circumstances shape our understanding of the actual event in question, and of the nature of history itself.Questions of historiography include the following:who writes history, what was their agenda, and towards what goal?how reliable can a historian ever aspire to be, interpreting past events from the point of view of the historian's present?what about the sources a historian choose to include in their work or purposefully exclude?To keep it simple we will only look at the main groups of history, Ancient, Postclassical and Modern as well as Art History.Ancient HistoryThe History of humanity starts when the first civilisation emerged and historians defined everyt hing that came before as Pre-History.Commonly, Ancient history is accepted to begin around 3000BCE with the apparition of early writing system in Mesopotamia. It extends up until the 6th century CE when the Western Roman Empire collapsed following a succession of invasion and the death of the last Roman Emperor,  Romulus Augustulus.Archaeology has been at the centre of any research regarding Ancient History. It has played a huge part in our knowledge of early civilizations, from the excavation of the Terracotta Army of the First Qin Emperor in ancient China to the exploration of the Mayan Pyramids in South America.Even though, most of our current knowledge of Ancient time events relies on the writings and accounts of antiquity historians (Herodotus,  Thucydides,  Arrian,  Plutarch,  Polybius,  Sima Qian,  Sallust,  Livy,  Josephus,  Suetonius, and  Tacitus), those records were often produced decades if not centuries after the events they described occurred and they are always to tak e with some precautions.Egypt, as the birth place of one of the earliest civilisation on the planet, is full of historical sites that have fascinated historians for hundreds of years. (by  Retlaw Snellac Photography)In the East, Japan's medieval period is commonly accepted to start with the Nara period (when  Empress Genmei established the capital of Heijo-kyo) in 709 and ended with the last battle of Sekighahara in 1600 when  Tokugawa and his allies defeated the Toyotomi regime and unified the country.At the same time on the continent, China's different historical periods did not follow the same pattern and the Imperial Era of China began in 221 with the Qin dynasty and only ended with the Qing Emperor in 1911.In the Middle East and North Africa as well as the Iberian Peninsula, Medieval times were marked by the ascent of Islam and the creation of powerful Empires.As studying and following history courses requires a lot of critical thinking skills as well as research skills, many u niversity alumni who graduated from a scholar institution with a degree level in History turn to the law after completing their undergraduate tuition and become lawyers.Why not hire a History tutor?The Vikings left far more than just a few casks in England (by Arthur_ASCII)Modern HistoryThe Middles Ages slowly faded in Europe as Renaissance was making its way to a full-blown social, religious and economic change. Even though the Renaissance movement started in Italy around the 13th century, with the rediscovery of Antic philosopher and the contact with the scientific knowledge of the Middle East, Medieval History only ended around the year 1500 following a few major events:The invention of the printing press by Gutenberg in 1439The discovery of the Americas by Christopher Colombus in 1492.The globalisation of the world and the acceleration of the exchange of ideas, goods and money through Europe, the Middle East and Asia.Academics commonly split Modern History into two periods, Earl y Modern History and Late Modern History. For students who have successfully past the admission stage in their undergraduate degree, Modern History will probably be studied over more than one semester along with other humanities discipline, some elective and some mandatory.Early Modern History includes:The Renaissance, marked by a new school of thought, Humanism, and the rediscovery of classical Greek philosophyThe Reformation (the split in Western Christianity launched by Martin Luther and sustained by Huldrych Zwingli, John Calvin and other Protestant Reformers in 16th-century Europe)The Counter-Reformation, was the Catholic resurgence launched in response to the Protestant Reformation, starting with the Council of Trent (1545â€"1563) and ending at the end of the Thirty Years' War (1648). It was initiated to protect the power, influence and wealth held by the Catholic Church.The Age of Discovery, spanning from the 15th century until the end of the 18th century and was marked by ex tensive overseas exploration which led to a profound change in European diplomacy and was the inception of globalization.The Rise of capitalism,  based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.The Golden Age of Piracy, which spans from the 1650s to the late 1720s and includes three separate upheavals of piracy:The buccaneering period of approximately 1650 to 1680, characterized by French and English sailors based in Tortuga and Jamaica and targeting Spanish ships and colonies throughout the CaribbeansThe Pirate Round of the 1690s, marked by long-distance cross sea voyages from the Americas to rob Muslim and East India Company possessions in the Indian Ocean and the Red SeaThe post-Spanish Succession, from 1716 to 1726, when English and American seamen and privateers, turned to piracy after the end of the Spanish Succession war and roamed in the Caribbean, the North American Eastern Coasts, the West African seaboard, and the Indian Ocean.Hist ory is such a vast and interesting subject that most universities and school institutions offer the possibility to pursue a History degree or to study history in an interdisciplinary bachelor of arts degree for example.

It continues to be the most widespread revolutionary wave in European history.The Russian Revolution, which was not one but two revolutions in Russia in 1917 which struck down the Tsarist absolutism and led to the rise of the Soviet Union. The Russian Empire fell with the abdication of Emperor Nicholas II.The First World War and the Second World War, from 1914 to 1918 and 1939 to 1945 involved all the main powers of the time and almost all countries on the planet.
