In the hundred year period leading up to America’s declaration of independence, the colonists were largely independent until about a decade before the revolution. This period of independence was called “salutary neglect” because there were laws in place to regulate trade in the Americas, but they went unenforced.

It’s important to remember that the significance of various air power missions will vary battle to battle, depending on the given resources, time, and situation, as well as current technology at the disposal of each army.

One of Man’s strongest instincts is that to protect and provide for himself. In doing so however, he has created nuclear weapons and energy. From experiments with radium in the late 1800s, to the creation of weapons of mass destruction during World War Two and finally the more recent disasters from nuclear power plant meltdowns. Man has started out with good intentions, but in so doing, he may have doomed himself. In 1896, radioactivity was discovered by Henri Becquerel (Nobelprize.org). Upon…
