Following the widespread civil war and famine that Somalia faced in the early 1900’s, Canadian Armed Forces played a significant role in helping repair and replenish the struggling country. Canada strengthened their role as peacekeeping nation by serving in the United Nations Operation in Somalia also referred to as UNOSOM. Through this mission, Canada displayed the qualities of being a loyal, persistent, and resourceful nation. Firstly, the scene in Somalia was one of danger and instability but the efforts Canada withstood to aid the country were remarkable “[Jamsheed Marker] said events in Somalia are testimony to the murderous length to which these international thugs are prepared to go in order to maintain their regimes of greed terror…
This absence of any visible authority or police presence within Somalia created an environment conducive to the numerous warlords competing for power in the various neighbourhoods. As a result, the warlords took control of Somalia and imposed their own brand of law and…
The American Civil War and the post-war Reconstruction caused a drastic change in American life and America itself. Following the Civil War and the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln was Andrew Johnson’s form of Reconstruction. During Johnson’s Reconstruction, the 13th Amendment was ratified, which abolished slavery within the United States of America. The ratification of the 13th Amendment lead to the 14th and 15th Amendments promising national citizenships and equality for all and to punish states that denied the vote to black men. Furthermore, the Reconstruction Acts established military districts in the south and in order for them to return to state status, “they had to revise their own constitutions and ratify the 14th Amendment.”…

After the fall of Somali President Siad Barre in 1991, there is a struggle between the two warlords, Mohamed Farah Aideed and Ali Mahdi Mohamed for control of the government, and a civil war occurs (Hogg, Annabel Lee.). With no government in control, the country plunges into chaos and ever since 1991, Somali has not had an effective government capable of performing its primary functions (Mohamud, Sahnun.). Along with the civil war there was a famine and limited food supplies, which has forced the entire country into starvation and an estimated 500,000 people die of starvation by 1992 (Operation Restore Hope.). In April 1992, the UN establishes the United Nations Operation in Somalia I (UNOSOM I) in order to provide humanitarian aid and restore peace, UNOSOM I was later replaced by the United Task force and after that UNOSOM II ("UNITED NATIONS OPERATION IN SOMALIA I.”).…
Even though it ended over 125 years ago, the Civil War has always been a popular and interesting war to people of every age. This war has shaped our country into what it is now and told us who we are as a whole. After many years of prejudice and hate between two sides of the country, the war redefined the ideals of America.…
In the 1800’s, the United States was divided and vulnerable, as a result of opposing beliefs and philosophies in the north and the south, particularly surrounding slavery. The nation was divided into Yankees, who occupied the northern states and opposed slavery, and Confederates, consisting of those in the southern states who exploited the slave trade. The American Civil War was a detrimental consequence of this conflict and opposition of views, which had both short term and enduring effects on American society and lifestyle. Prior to the Civil War in 1861, American was a nation divided by philosophies; the north and the south. The South strongly believed in States’ Rights, where power is held by individual states.…
The Civil War was very devasting to the new nation, so it left a lot of consequences, physically, socially, and economically. Physical because a lot of states were completely destroyed. This lead to the disappearance of the culture of the people from these states, because their books and buildings were destroyed. The civil war also left economical consequences.

Before the civil war began, African Americans, who were still enslaved, staged an assault on the federal arsenal, led by John Brown, an abolitionist. Although it failed, it was the intent of the slaves to rally an insurrection. The failed violent attempt rallied the slaves in a different way. They successfully held a general strike against the slave owners and became fugitives from slavery and the property of the government. It only took a few months of the general strike to force Abraham Lincoln 's hand.…
The Civil War is said to be the most important war in United States history. This is said because not only was a new form of war introduced, but it also introduced a separation of the American people that some believe still exists today. Many problems led up to the start of the Civil War, but the biggest dispute was slavery. After four years of fighting, the war came to an end and the country needed to be reconstructed; not only the infrastructure but the society as well. During this process, there were few successes that accompanied many failures and made the war seem as though it never happened.…
The Civil War was a really destructive war between the North and the South. When the war ended, the north won and the South was destroyed. I predict that it would be very difficult to bring the South back to the Union and to reconstruct the South because it was destroyed. It does not have any alliance with anyone to receive help, and the mostly important fact is that the North did not want the South to be reconstructed. The North and South had different opinions and laws about slavery.…
The civil war was a time of great suffering, amputation, disease, and imprisonment but it was also an era of great creativity, development, and invention. While the civil war was a bad time for the U.S. it also helped the U.S. develop in important ways. This paper will discuss how the civil war changed America with its many innovations in transportation and communication, weapons and small innovations, and new laws/documents. Although the civil war was an ugly time for America it was also a time of some amazing innovations.…
The Civil War took a great toll over everyone in the South, considering the fact that it was certainly destructive. Emotionally, it was distressing because there were so many injured people to the point where it even caused frustration. Like when Scarlett had been helping out all day with the injured, and she had gotten tired of constantly seeing people hurt wherever she glanced. Many people did not come home to their families either, as the long list of names came into town of those who had been killed in the war, which did leave many devastated. Physically, it was chaotic due to the result of the damage that the Yankees have been doing.…
After reading and obtaining information about different countries that have dissimilar types of governments I came to the conclusion that I would discuss two countries that I would write about Ethiopia and Puerto Rico. Ethiopia which is a country ran by dictatorship is located in what is called the Eastern region of Africa, also known as the horn of Africa. Ethiopia shares that region with other countries like, Djibouti, Eritrea, and Somalia. In contrast, ran by democracy Puerto Rico is an island surrounded by smaller islands located near the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. By the end of this essay I would like for readers to have learned the history and political landscapes of both countries also recognize their differences and similarities.…
