One of the most influential figures in World War Two (WWII) history is Sir Winston Churchill. Winston Churchill, who is best known for his political and strategic roles as British Prime Minister, was born in Blenheim Palace, Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England, on November 30th, 1874. As a young man he joined the British army as an officer, and after a slow start quickly moved upwards in the ranks.

indiscriminately on the German population to cause social unrest. The book does a good job to talk about the sinister and questionable themes by the British to even attack the civilian populations so in theory could lose trust in their own Government.

Recently, as part of my history class, we have been…

Churchill’s speech “We Shall Fight on the Beaches” is one of the most recognized speeches during World War II. Churchill, who at the time was the prime minister of the United Kingdom did not actually broadcast this speech to the citizens of the United Kingdom, rather to the House of Commons. In fact, it was not until 1949 that people were able to listen to his own voice delivering the speech after Churchill was persuaded to record it for the benefit of younger generations. The purpose of this…

Americans felt that being in a war was great and something to be excited about. They were proud of their contribution in the war and believed they were doing the right thing. It seemed like a fairy tale, where everyone was happy and war was the best thing that was happening to America. The Best War Ever: America and WWII by Michael CC Adams, supports the idea that Americans were blinded by being ignorant on what was actually happening overseas. Having propaganda promote war and popular products…

When I realize how far the world has come in the decades of the past, I marvel at man’s ability to efficiently collaborate and make good things come out of teamwork, even through the barriers of the varying cultures in the world, including different languages, governments, and the great distances that lie between our countries. Together, our world has accomplished incredible tasks—from organizing the Olympic Games to our willingness to help after tragedy strikes. Though much has been achieved,…
