        <description><![CDATA[One major event for the Buddhist religion is the birth of Siddhartha Gautama.  Siddhartha has come to be known as the Buddha after he achieved enlightenment.  His birth year used to be given as 566 BCE but recent research has suggested that it was really in 490 BCE.
A second major event is when Asoka, a famous Indian emperor, converted to Buddhism.  When he converted to Buddhism the religion became the state religion of Asoka's empire. ...]]></description>

Islam -- the major holy destination is Mecca, in Saudi Arabia.  Mecca is holy because that's where the Prophet Mohammed received his revelations and where he spent the first years after the start of Islam as a religion.

        <description><![CDATA[I suppose that a traditional answer to this question would say that Roman expansion took place to secure its borders. This is what the ancient sources, at least, say. Notable scholars such as Ernst Badian also posit this theory. However, there is reason to think otherwise. First, just because the sources speak of "just" theories of war, it does not mean that this was what actually happened. One must remember that pro-Roman sources such as...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In the late 1940s to the mid-1950s, the major US foreign policy was the policy of containment of communism.  This policy of containment was accomplished through a variety of practices including foreign economic aid, military aid, and at times, covert action against governments such as those of Iran and Guatemala.
These influenced foreign relations because they helped turn many incidents that would otherwise have been of no global consequence...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[During the 1830s and 1840s a variety of reform movements sprang up in the United States.  These covered everything from educational reform to the reform of insane asylums to abolitionism.
Historians often attribute these reform movements to the rise of evanglical protestantism.  The idea is that evangelical protestantism emphasized that people and society could be perfected.  Once people came to believe in this idea they (and middle class...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[To ask how the Roman gained the support of conquered people is almost to answer the question. To be sure, Rome had a fairly steady hands off policy, which was probably a great move. For example, they allowed for the freedom of religion and even self-rule, but if people got out of line, Rome's military would intervene. So, I think the best answer is people had to support Rome, because Rome conquered them and they would do so again if...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hellenistic culture is one of the most understudied and exciting areas of ancient history. Part of the reason for this is because it comes between the Greeks and the Romans (two favorites). Another reason is because Hellenistic culture is extremely expansive and difficult to study.  After Phillip of Macedon unified the Greeks, there was a push towards Persia by Alexander, his son. Alexander got all the way to India. So, one can hellenisitc...]]></description>

Horses spread from the days of the Spanish conquistadors both naturally and through trade in the West.  Taking the Sioux as an example, they captured wild horses that had multiplied and spread across the Great Plains over the years, and they also captured horses from neighboring tribes, the Texans and the Mexicans.

        <description><![CDATA[Gibbon is making the argument that the elements which allowed for the greatness of Rome could not be the forces which sustained it.  The implication is that the rise to power and the judicious exercise of it are not one in the same.  This allows for a stronger understanding of why the Roman Empire was, after a point, unable to be sustained.  The natural state of expansion caused it to be untenable and nearly impossible to defend.  This...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In order to govern an empire as big as the one they conquered, the Romans set up a system that divided the empire into smaller portions that could be more easily governed.
At the peak of the Roman Empire, it was divided into four prefectures, or large regions.  These were the Prefectures of the Gauls, of Italy, of Illyricum and of the East.  Each of these prefectures was in turn split up into provinces that were governed by governors.
