The Golden Gate Bridge is an engineering marvel, an iconic image of San Francisco, and an important transportation structure all wrapped into one brightly colored orange bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge’s construction in the 1930’s was fraught with difficulties, but it’s completion helped to connect the already major city of San Francisco to the smaller Marin County in California. The bridge’s construction helped to create a faster route between these areas, helped to stimulate the economy, and even
I personally disagree with the statement that the fifth-century B.C.E. city-state of Attica does not indeed deserve the title “golden age”. A “golden age” can be simply defined as a period of great happiness, prosperity, and achievement. Attica should be considered a “golden age” in this time period for three distinct reasons.

O'Shaughnessy, a San Francisco City Engineer, was asked by city officials to see if it was possible to build a bridge that crossed the strait. While most engineers claimed that a bridge was not able to be built and that it would

Russia and the Mongols In a speech broadcast to London via radio on October 1st, 1939, Winston Churchill famously said: “I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma (Murdico, 1).” While it is true that Churchill was referring to his inability to predict the country’s actions in regards to the impending world war, the words can be used to illustrate a general confusion and lack of understanding, by both western and eastern powers alike, concerning
