Wikipedia Trails: Brothers Grim to Adolf Hitler

Well this was a very interesting Wikipedia Trail for this week. I started out with the Brothers Grimm because aside from watching a movie about them and reading a few tiny little things I really had no idea who they were. What spurred my interest was my favorite storybook the Brothers Grimm. So that was my first link and I read through there history until I saw probably there most famous story in my opinion that is just associated with them which is Hansel and Gretel.

In this link I basically knew the story line but I didn't know that the the witch in the original story was a cannibal that wanted to eat the children I though she just wanted to kill them so that was interesting. Looking through this link I found another that was called German Origin.

Once I got to here I read through a lot of there history and stumbled upon Nazi Germany which I knew I would eventually run into if I kept going on this page. So naturally that lead me to Adolf Hitler.

Adolf was my last link and was pretty interesting that the two German story tellers lead me to Adolf Hitler. At least the trail stayed German the whole time.

Wikipedia Trail: From Bhima to Baro-Bhuyan

Well I started off my search in Bhima. He is one of my favorite characters that I have read about in this class so I just started this search with him!
Going through all that was in Bhima's page I was just kinda looking for something new or something that I had written about so that I could have a chance to go a little deeper into that if I could. While reading in this article most of everything in it was stuff that I had already read about him so once I saw Hidimba I clicked on that link.

Reading through my second link on Hidimba I found a few new things about him. Like he stood around 12 feet tall in his story with Bhima. That and he was apart of the great family of Bamun family of Nalbari Kamrup. Which lead me to the next link that was Kamrup.

I learned that Kamrup is an ancient kindom that now in the modern region of Assam. In the Mideval Kamrup lost a lot of their political rule which forced them to merge with other kingdoms and on of those were the Baro-Bhuyans. And that was my final link.

The Baro-Bhuyans were warrior chiefs and landlords in medeval Begal and Assam who maintained a independent confederacy. They were the ones that most of the time took care of aggressors, but in peaceful times kept their sovereignty and also kept a strong King in place of their confederacy.

In conclusion I though it was very interesting that Bhima lead me to another type of warrior and aggressor just like Bhima!!
