Catherine the Great
A fascinating life of a ruler who was deservedly styled 'the Great'
Behind Closed Doors
Are there political organizations presently at work bending the world to their will? Why are some religions successful while others have died out? Mystery, reverent secrecy, business acumen and financial wealth are all essential to many of today's most feared and controversial religions and political groups. From the mysterious Illuminati and Opus Dei faiths to covert political organizations such as the Trilateral Commission, Michael Streeter examines secret societies, both past and present, exploring their power and influence and revealing the true nature behind the handshakes and headlines.

Central America and the Treaty of Versailles
They were in the United States' backyard, and in some cases under her direct protection. So in many ways it was little surprise when Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Panama and Honduras joined the war on the Allied side in 1917 and 1918. Their involvement in the war was minimal, indeed scarcely noticeable, but it was enough. It earned these small relatively powerless nations—in Haiti's case barely a functioning state—an invitation to sit alongside the Great Powers at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and sign the Treaty of Versailles.

South America and the Treaty of Versailles
While Portuguese-speaking Brazil declared war on Germany in the First World War, the rest of South America held back. In the end no other South American nation joined the fighting. But four - Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay - did break off diplomatic relations with Germany in 1917, in sympathy with US policy and with the Allies in Europe. Their reward was a place at the Paris Peace Conference table and for the first time a chance to play a role on the world stage rather than just in their own backyard.
Epitacio Pessoa
Brazil was one of the emerging world powers to be invited to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. Having jettisoned her empire just thirty years before, the Portuguese-speaking nation was showed signs of becoming one of the financial powerhouses not just of Latin America, but of the world. Helped by abundant natural resources, cheap labour and large-scale immigration, Brazil’s economy had grown massively – and now it wanted to take its proper place in the society of world nations.
