Ca ching! That is the sound of millions of dollars going into Messi's, a famous soccer player, bank account. While other people are unemployed, he, other professional athletes, and entertainers make millions of dollars a year. I do not agree that professional athletes and entertainers should earn large sums of money because America is in an economic crisis, they do not teach Americans valuable lessons, and also the money could be used for medical research. I feel that professional athletes and…

The first of many erroneous mistakes made by Wilson in his attempts to have the Treaty of Versailles ratified by Congress. Desperate for retention of a Democratic majority in legislation in preparation for the Paris Peace Conference, Wilson went against the popular notion that “politics stops at the water’s edge” in 1918 when he called out the Republican party in speech in an effort to win votes for the Democratic party in the upcoming midterm election. Wilson distastefully blamed the…

The second World War was the biggest war in human history. The war started in 1939 and lasted until 1945 when the United Nations won the war. There are over 60 million people who died in this war, including many civilians. Those civilians died from bombings, diseases and tests for chemical weapons. This is insane! There were many events that happened during the Second World War, most of them were bombings, like the Pearl Harbor incident. Many of the wars were instigated by the Axis Alliance,…

In Woodrow Wilson’s war message of 1917, Wilson addresses to Congress the recent war events going on with Germany. His goal of the speech is to urge Congress to declare war on Germany. Throughout the speech his main points cover how Germany has been attacking America, ways to end the war, and how Russia is also a threat to America. In the structure of the speech, Wilson provides audience with evidence of attacks and ways to resolve the situation, which helps him convince the audience that the…

Chapter 29 discuss the effects after the war, the influenza pandemic of 1918, Wilson's 14 points, the peace treaties, the league of Nations, self-determination and the mandate system. In today's discussion I will be talking about Wilson's 14 points, that was proposed after the war. Wilson's 14 points were 14 goals of the United States, proposed by President Woodrow Wilson in the peace negotiations after World War I. These principles were outlined in a speech in 1918 to Congress. The 14 points…

international understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view (1)”. Later on The League of Nations was formed and was established to meet Wilson’s desire for diplomacy, however great in its intent; the means of ensuring peace was ruined by the U.S. Congress’ refusal to join the league. As a result of the United States not being a part of the league, it failed to be successful. David Lloyd George, Prime Minister of Great Britain wanted peace, but also…

Over one-hundred years ago, President Wilson addressed a joint-session of Congress and set forth the fourteen points which would severely impact the settlement of the First World War. The fundamental similarity surrounding these points is the notion of individual freedom. It is the freedom of people; their movement, government, and self-determination. The fundamental belief in freedom and democracy has guided American foreign policy and intervention since 1918. Universal application by Wilson…

1920’s many nations just wanted peace. Unfortunately, in the 1930’s, dictators were angry about the results of the previous war and uproars of possible wars were starting to appear. Germany, Italy, and Japan were becoming aggressors. Meanwhile, the League of Nations and the democratic countries did nothing to stop them. The British Prime Minister Chamberlain, believed that appeasement was the best solution, but many others disagreed and thought that collective security was a better choice.…

Though they are richer than the other peasants they were still poor. Third are the peasants who worked the land owned by the aristocrats and…

In 1914 they invaded and conquered Belgium another neutral nation. This was an uncalled for action for the Germans to do because they were a neutral nation not wanting to be involved in this bloody and costly war. In May 1915 The Germans used the unfair game of submarine warfare against the Lusitania a passenger ship. A lot of civilians were killed and this was an uncalled for action towards innocent people. In January 1917 the Germans announced that now they would be using submarine warfare…
