The Great war was started on June 28, 1914 when the Archduke of Austria-Hungary, Franz Ferdinand,was assassinated by Serbian rebels in Bosnia. This cause the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire) to declare war on the Serbians and the Allied powers which were Russia, Great Britain, and France. For almost three years, The United State did not want to enter the “Great War” because they felt that it could cause civil unrest between Immigrant that came from countries…

the way for the future of America. President Roosevelt campaigned for Progressivism with the influence from the Populist Party when he was in office, and the Progressive Era lasted over the span of 3 presidents; himself, William Taft, and Woodrow Wilson. While all three of them accomplished many important issues, Roosevelt’s leadership and influence is why I believe he was the most Progressive president of the era. While he was passionate about bettering the lives of most people and ending…

There he was, amidst those whose fate was so tragic my heart ached. He was entering the castle I knew and loved. My father allowed those who were going into the maze one final feast. The house was decorated with flowers and ribbons hanging from the ceilings accompanied by delicacies the chefs prepared only this time of year. I hated this time of year, the time when innocent civilians were sacrificed for my father 's Minotaur. It always seemed like the angel of death was lurking through the…

Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States from 1913-1921, knew little about foreign policy when he first came into office. Wilson and his secretary of state, William Jennings Bryan, focused on aggressive moral diplomacy throughout his two terms as president. He rejected Taft’s idea of dollar diplomacy and focused on preserving peace, bringing right to the world, and extending the blessings of the democracy, but as time went on this policy was hard to stand by. Wilson felt as if it was his…

President Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson were in office during the progressive era. The progressive era brought new ideas about the economy and politics. These new ideas forced the public to think about the government and business differently. This new way of thinking challenged traditional ideas and sometimes broke the traditional way thinking. This in turn led America in a new but promising direction. These three Presidents had the desire to change social and political policies combined with…

A year or so ago, I sought advice from my lovely daughter about the best way to address our concerns and make positive impact on our son’s life, who is at his teen now. My daughter, heartily explained what I could do right to guide my son and where I could go wrong, as she had have experienced during her teen age. I am so glad that I had the conversation, it made me realize that we (the immigrant parents) are further apart in our upbringing than that of our first generation children, it is…

supporting the referendum in Ohio. Another well-known woman at this time, novelist Gertrude Atherton, from California, harshly criticized Roosevelt. In her first campaign speech for Presidential-hopeful Taft, she attempted to secure women’s votes for Wilson by calling Roosevelt “a colossal bluffer, absolutely selfish” (Freeman). To say Roosevelt was selfish is meaningless considering his efforts encouraged women to drive other women to the polls so that they could…

“This nation will remain a neutral nation, but I cannot ask that every American remain neutral in thought as well,” proclaimed President Franklin D. Roosevelt when World War Two began in Europe (Brinkley, 728). A remarkable amount of the population in the United States favored Great Britain, France, and the rest of the Allied nations over the Axis powers which consisted of Japan, Italy, and Germany. However, the American government did not want to get involved in another war, so they isolated…

Progressive Presidents Essay During the Progressive Era, the election of 1912 included three presidents who each had agendas to fix problems created by the rapid urbanization. These problems include the control caused by big business, bad laborer conditions, and the need for conservation. While all of the presidents worked to correct problems during the Progressive Era, Theodore Roosevelt was the most progressive president because he regulated business, supported labor reform, and strongly…

Since its founding on July 4, 1776, the The United States has had a myriad of trials and tribulations to overcome. With that being said, the U.S. has not always been the great world power that it is today. Historically, after each individual war the U.S. has partaken in, there have been significant changes both at home and across seas. While taking care of the economy on U.S. soil is important, it is not the sole concern. After countless wars and a number of substantial failures, the U.S.…
