    Americans had no idea that war was imminent in Europe in the summer of 1914, and tens of thousands of tourists were caught by surprise.[1] Apart from an Anglophile element supporting the British, American public opinion went along with neutrality at first. The sentiment for neutrality was strong among Irish Americans, German Americans and Swedish Americans,[2] as well as among church leaders and women. On the other hand, even before the war broke out American opinion toward Germany was already more negative than it was toward any other country in Europe.[3] The citizenry increasingly came to see the German Empire as the villain after news of atrocities in Belgium in 1914, and the sinking of the passenger liner RMS Lusitania in 1915 in defiance…

    The Embargo Act was a wrong decision of Thomas Jefferson, who was the third president of the Unites States in 1807. It caused serious collapse of the US economy at that time. This embargo made the people out of work, due to unemployment that led to increase social crime. Moreover, agricultural products could not be exported abroad, so it destroyed the family property and private enterprise. This embargo was not only beneficial for the United States, but also pulled the United States economy increasingly downward.…

    The Articles of Federation left most regulation to individual states and much like the issue that arose with trade, the minting of currency and a regulation of currency was left to each state. This meant that each state could mint or produce different denominations of value for their “state” dollars and coinage. Because there were many discrepancies in money and their respective values, many problems soon would arise in the Confederation such as, inflation, parties not accepting each other’s money because it was not considered “legal” tender, and to the loss of property because of non-payment. The new government that was to be formed in the wake of the Confederation would attempt to resolve this issue by granting the Congress the ability,…

    There is a fine line between a grand leader and an absolute tyrant. Germany was unfairly accused of World War 1 and all the unfortunate deaths and destructions that occurred. They were solely blamed and not given a chance to recover because they were forced to sign a peace treaty, the Treaty of Versailles, which began the downfall of Germany. Before World War 1, Germans were incredibly proud of their heritage; however, compared to after World War 1 the people were seen with their heads hung in shame and humiliation. Everyone felt lost afterward and Germany was completely damaged leaving a feeling of heartbreak, disillusionment, and sadness.…

    The life expectancy of these countries is less than 55 years old. The infant mortality rate of these countries is devastatingly low as well- 1 in 7 children will not live to celebrate their fifth birthdays (Angola, Central African Republic, and Chad). This is largely the result of poor access to good health care, malnutrition, disease (think Ebola outbreak), and of course, poverty. The third and final factor, net migration, varies by country. The largest rate is 22 migrants per 1,000 people (Zimbabwe), with the smallest being -10 migrants per 1,000 people (Somalia)…

    Banerjee and Duflo’s article The Economic Lives of the Poor, studies five main areas of the living conditions of the extremely poor: food and its alternatives in spending, savings, work and specializations, infrastructure and health services, and education. In their study they found the percentage of income families spend on food, stays relatively the same even if their income goes up (Banerjee and Duflo, 2009). Families save very little money for lack of somewhere safe to store it, and when they take a loan, it is from their friends and family and not from banks (Banerjee and Duflo, 2009). Workers in developing countries lack specializations since it can be too risky to put all their time and resources into one industry (Banerjee and Duflo,…

    Explanation of Historical Migration Flow: Expansive transient changes occurred in the years before and following Kenyan independence from Britain in 1963. By the early 1960s, as independence was imminent, the post-1945 pattern of European migration to Kenya was reversed, and in the three years that followed, roughly 29,000 Europeans left Kenya. In the primary year of Kenyan independence from the U.K., approximately 6,000 Britons repudiated their British citizenship and requested Kenyan citizenship; amid a similar period, around 70,000 people living in Kenya—the largest share of them Asians—migrated to Britain. After Britain restricted movement of Asians in 1967, an emergency situation involving the Asians developed in Kenya. British work grants, without which Asians couldn't remain in Britain past a restricted period, were not issued, and these Asians were forced to remain in Kenya or migrate to other countries.…

    Rohingya Crisis Case Study

    In Document A, Charles Santiago, Chair of Asean Parliament for Human Rights, views that the Rohingya refugee crisis issue is no longer a Burma issue, but a regional issue, and claims that the problem had started with the Burma government refusing to give citizenship to the Rohingya, so the long-term strategy would be for ASEAN to pressurize Burma to make changes to the lives of the Rohingya, while the short-term strategy will only be for the countries, which are mainly Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, to save those on the boats. In general, I strongly agree with the views that are presented in the document. I think that for this issue to be fully solved, it needs not only the cooperation of the ASEAN countries to provide humanitarian aid to…
