The Construction of Falcon Field started with Mesa’s Major George N. Goodman talking with local military officers and saying that construction of this airfield would cost the city of Mesa $50000 dollars to build (BREAK GROUND).

Should Britain Scrap Trident? Mark McLaughlin Over the past 10 years, there has been much debate on the Trident Renewal programme. On 19th July 2016, Members of Parliament finally voted for its renewal by a majority of 355. Therefore, Trident will be renewed and the overall cost will be a staggering £205 billion. I strongly disagree with this decision. I am convinced that Britain would be better off without Trident; I strongly…

Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night shows a first hand experience of the atrocity that was the Holocaust. The Holocaust is the only name that comes to mind when most Americans hear the word “genocide”. These people show ignorance to the mistreatment of Americans that occurred in their own country. The internment of Americans of Japanese descent during World 2 was a clear example of racial discrimination. Although the death toll was no where near comparable to that of the Holocaust, it was still an unfair…

The efforts made by Eisenhower, to address these fears, failed because they aggravated the Cold War situation and elevated the fears of Americans. The fears of the American population grew immensely with…

Allison chairs the History Department at Suffolk University in Boston and he writes about American history comments “the Japanese may have been defeated but that doesn’t mean that they were ready to surrender. In samurai warrior culture that then defined Japan, surrender wasn’t an option” (Atomic Bomb: Why did President Harry S Truman Order the Atomic…

DBQ: Dropping the Atomic Bomb on Japan The decision President Truman had to make regarding dropping a fission bomb onto Japanese cities in order to end the war would have been too hard for most of us to handle. America was weary after 4 years of almost total war with Germany, Italy, and Japan and the war needed to end. At this point, Japan was alone and dragging its feet after many losses. From the history we know, the decision was justified as it ended a devastating war with no end in sight…
