		While greatly admired by many for his strategic and tactical brilliance, MacArthur is also criticized by many for his actions in command, such as his role in putting down the Bonus Army, his command in the Philippines and New Guinea, and his challenge to Truman during the Cold War.

	The Mayas
		Nevertheless, the Classic period saw an explosion of cultural creativity all throughout the region populated by the tribes we call "Mayan." They derived many cultural forms from the north, but also devised many cultural innovations that profoundly influenced all subsequent cultures throughout Mesoamerica.
		The culture of the Mayas, however, has little changed from the classic period to the modern period, for Maya culture was largely tribal and rural all throughout the Classic period.
		Therfore, the decline of the urban centers after 900 AD did not involve titanic social change so much as religious change; it is believed by some scholars that the abandonment of the cities was primarily due to religious proselytizing from the north.

	New Page 1
		In England, this period was dominated by the long period of conflict, now known as the Hundred Years' War, and the profound social and economic changes brought about by the Black Death (bubonic plague).
		England advanced military and territorial claims throughout the period and this caused new conflicts with France, Scotland and Ireland.
		A military recovery under Henry V appeared to have handed him the French victory; instead, after his death, England quickly declined into a period of bloody civil war known as the Wars of the Roses.

	Core Reports - Burundi - HRI/CORE/1/Add.16 (1992)
		The political history of Burundi can be subdivided into four periods: the pre-colonial period, the colonial and trust territory period, independent Burundi with a monarchical period, and the republican period.
		A mark of this period was the large number of political parties on the national political scene: some called for immediate independence and others were opposed to gaining independence so rapidly; other parties, motivated by ethnic considerations or manipulated by foreigners, had no programmes.
		Burundi has one single language, Kirundi, which is spoken and understood by everyone, from east to west, and from north to south transmitting one single culture, which has been preserved from time immemorial.

	history of Egypt
		The framework for the study of the Dynastic period of Egyptian history, between the 1st dynasty and the Ptolemaic period, relies on the Aegyptiaca of Manetho, a Ptolemaic priest of the 3rd century BC, who organized the country's rulers into 30 dynasties, roughly corresponding to families.
		Enough pottery has been found in Upper Egyptian tombs from the 4th millennium BC (in the Predynastic period) to establish a relative dating sequence.
		The importance of women in the New Kingdom is illustrated by the high titles and position of the royal wives and mothers.

	A brief history of Denmark : Part 1 (Until 800)
		The end of this rather murky period in Danish history comes with the viking era, generally considered to begin on the occasion of the sack of Lindifarne Monastery, on Holy Island, in A.D. From this period on, the number of historical sources become more numerous, and Denmark as a nation begins to emerge.
		The period is marked by the clearing of forests (with sharpened flint axes), the rise of small communities and villages, and the mining of flint.
		The earliest evidence of human habitation in Denmark occurs in the Eem interglacial period (between 100000 and 70000 B.C.).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Joseph
		Efforts have indeed been made in certain quarters to transform the history of Joseph into a story of a tribe of the same name which, at some remote period, would have attained to great power in Egypt, and which, at a much later date, popular imagination would have simply pictured as an individual.
		) The date of his eventful career can be fixed only approximately at the present day, for the Biblical account of Joseph's life does not name the particular Pharaoh of his time, and the Egyptian customs and manners therein alluded to are not decisive as to any special period in Egyptian history.
		The extent of the Egyptian colouring just referred to in the history of Joseph has been closely investigated by recent scholars.

	History of Greece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hellenistic period of Greek history begins with the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC and ends with the annexation of the Greek peninsula and islands by Rome in 146 BC.
		At the same time, the definitive formation and establishment of the Orthodox doctrine, but also a series of conflicts resulting from heresies that developed within the boundaries of the empire marked the early period of Byzantine history.
		After the gradual weakening of the structures of the Greek Byzantine state and the reduction of its land from Turkish invasions, came the fall of the Greek Byzantine Empire, at the hands of the Ottomans, in 1453, when the Byzantine period is considered to have ended.

	Egyptian New Kingdom, Babylonia, Assyria, Hittites, etc.
		The first Libyan king, Sheshonq I, gives us a moment of overlap with Biblican history, since, as "Shishak," he beseiges Jerusalem and is bought off with most of the treasures of Solomon's Temple.
		The chronology for the period before the Canon of Kings, 1400 down to 700, is secured by the "Assyrian Kinglist" and a reported eclipse of the sun that can be dated to 15 June 763 BC.
		It is not unreasonable to see Egyptian history as actually ending when the XXVI Dynasty falls in 525, since the country is subsequently dominated by Persians, Greeks, Romans, and Arabs.

	Talk:Timeline of Chinese history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Your point of associating ruler(s) of a specific dynasty to a period in history is correct for short-lived dynasties like Sui and Qin.
		An example off the top of my head is Timeline of Polish history.
		If one looked at Chinese history from a dynastic persepctive, rulers become important; however looking from other perspectives (like social or ethological) yielded other meaningful ideas.

	Imperial Russia
		The Russian Empire (Росси́йская Импе́рия, also Imperial Russia) covers the period of Russian history from the expansion of Russia under Peter the Great into the Russian Empire stretching from the Baltic to the Pacific Ocean, to the deposition of Nicholas II of Russia, the last tsar, at the start of the Russian Revolution in 1917.
		This period is also regarded by many as the Russian Empire, however many also consider the Soviet Union to have been a continuation of the empire up until the fall of the Soviet government in 1991.
		Fixing the period of the Russian Empire is contentious, whereas fixing the period of Imperial Russia is more straightforward.

	The Pre-Columbian History of the Amerindians of Trinidad and Tobago
		There is also evidence of interaction between Trinidad and Grenada and St. Vincent, plus intensified cultural ties between the Amerindians of Tobago and the islands of the Lesser Antilles in the period AD 1100-1200 (Boomert, p.
		Sites for this period, of which four have been found in east Trinidad, appear to show longer-lived settlements lasting several generations.
		The stone implements are, for the most part, not of local origin, which strongly suggests that the area was frequented by non-local groups as well (see Harris).
