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…

have either fallen just short of the target or else just a little beyond it.” Predictably, Churchill’s reaction to this statement was not enjoyable to behold. This incident, and the statement by the admiral, is a good example of the state of the British Royal Navy pre-Great War and shows the starting point for what Churchill had to work with. The same way Churchill approached any situation, his first instinct was to learn everything he possibly could after…

The Royal Navy is the United Kingdom's principal naval warfare force. The modern Royal Navy traces its origins to the early 16th century, it is the oldest of the armed services and is known as the Senior Service. During the 17th century the Royal Navy competed mostly with the Dutch Navy and in the 18th century with the French Navy for world supremacy. From the late 18th century until the mid-1940s it was the most powerful navy in the world, being surpassed by the US Navy after World War II. The…

The election of this topic for this paper was partly thanks to the movie Pearl Harbor, and my long term desire to become a pilot. Resurgence of American patriotism was due mostly to these 16 aircraft and their crewmen. This raid paved the way for collaborations between air and naval forces that would be pivotal to the success of America’s military. It is exactly the underdog story with a happy ending that personifies the American Dream. In the wake of Pearl Harbor the U.S. needed a plan that…

The attack on Pearl Harbor struck fear and anger into the people of the U.S. Almost immediately after the attack, Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan. Our national security was questioned and chaos erupted on the West Coast. People thought that the Japanese would attack them next. Racial tensions grew on Japanese-Americans. Focused one one goal: revenge. The U.S. people united and through the next several years, that unity made the U.S. a global superpower.…

On December 7th of 1941, a war began that changed the history of the United States and the world. On this day, the Japanese declared war on the US by attacking Pearl Harbor. This attack claimed a staggering 2,403 lives and wounded 1,178 others instigating the US’s entrance into World War II. I was fortunate enough to visit and participate in a group performance at this historic site, in honour of the 75th anniversary of the Pearl Harbour attack. While visiting this monument, I learned about the…

know if they still survive tomorrow. They live in the hope that saviors will come to save them. When “Bolinao 52” people saw their saviors, however, they were denied the help. A US Navy ship refused to rescue them, alleging that it was on duty. The image that a starving man using his remaining energy swam towards the Navy ship to implore for help shows the brutality of life. Boat people fought desperately for their survival. They were abandoned by the fate, and by the humans who were saviors to…

On Monday May 2, 2016 Roseville’s Chief of Police Daniel Hahn came to the Sierra College Gateway Campus to speak with our community justice class. He began by telling us a little about his background and why he became a police officer. Chief Hahn grew up in Oak Park, which is known to be one of Sacramento’s most crime ridden cities. Law Enforcement was always viewed negatively by those who lived there; therefore, growing up Daniel never envisioned that someday he would become a police officer…
