- 6. History of the Guillotine • The device was prototyped in Germany by the secretary of the Academy of Surgeons, who ensured that it was humane. By 1791, after a trial period during which the device sliced through countless cadavers, it was appointed France's national death-sentence machine. • (It became a tool of terrorism in the French Revolution as the undiscerning blade silenced nobles, radicals and ordinary citizens.) http://history.howstuffworks.com/european-history/french-revolution.htm

- 12. I would personally think that as a Parisian at this moment and history I would be scared for my life but I would actually be pretty happy that the garbage was recently (and years later) stacked so high that we were unable to find bodies because I would at least be able to stand that foul smell of rotting corps and hey who knows, who are in those catacombs ?
- 13. How does Globalization relate to the formation of the American Identity in this period? • I believe globalization relates to the formation of the American Identity because with our American Revolution we were the example for everybody to follow we paved the way as to how to have a revolution. How to get what you need for yourself and your citizens. This had set the scene for America to take center stage!
