Protesters have used the Olympic torch relay as a stage from which to protest China?s human rights record, and in response Chinese activists have denounced the protests. This month, historian Al Senn of the University of Wisconsin -- the foremost American historian of the Olympics ? reminds us that the Olympics are no stranger to politics and he puts these current controversies in historical context. http://ehistory.osu.edu/osu/origins/article.cfm?articleid=17 Fri, 01 Aug 2008 12:00:00 GMT by Marika Sherwood (I.B.

Another 571,822 sustained non-fatal wounds during the conflict. Typically when we think of WWII, we think of these soldiers, killed or injured on foreign soil, but America's production soldiers, the men and women who manned the nation's factories, mills, and mines, also suffered heavy physical losses during the conflict. This website explores both the experiences of disabled soldiers and industrial workers during WWII, battlefield medicine, industrial safety campaigns, and rehabilitation programs. http://ehistory.osu.edu/osu/mmh/machinery/index.cfm Fri, 13 Jul 2007 12:00:00 GMT In April of 1803 the United States acquired more than eight hundred thousand square miles of territory from France in what has come to be known as the largest real estate transaction in history.
