Crimean War

allowed Russia to gain so much ground, they failed to predict the spoils of war, they failed to see that Soviet Union will be the victors of the war too. In the most opinions it makes sense to attack Russia, for the giant proved to be more trouble than Nazi Germany, the Nazi regime was located to Europe and only to Europe had the allies comes together and offer a better solution to the lost Germans they could’ve prevented the cold war. Communism is good in the writing but once it’s been placed…

Tom Hopkinson is not the first and certainly not the last journalist to face a difficult choice regarding the truth. The phrase ‘The first casualty when war comes is truth’ presumably was coined by the US senator Hiram W Johnson more than two decades before World War 2 (The Guardian, 2011). The larger the magnitude of conflict the more truth suffers. When national survival is at stake truth is no more than an impractical idealistic concept. Admittedly, there were many cases in which truth was…

2. Cold War II: IS IT POSSIBLE? The confrontation between the European Union and the United States with Russia over current events in Ukraine, cooperation against international terrorism, agreement to Syria’s chemical weapons, cooperation in the Middle East and Afghanistan and Russia’s closer partnership with China have begun to produce gossips of renewal of the Cold War with exchanges of sharp accusations, the statement of economic sanctions, and-most dangerous-military race that would put both…

“Vom Kriege” (On War) was published posthumously in 1832 from the writings of Carl Von Clausewitz by his wife. The book was compiled from his writings following his experiences and lessons learned during the Napoleonic Wars. [1] From the opening lines, Clausewitz cleverly sets the tone and prepares the reader for what they are about to read by stating “We shall not enter into any of the abstruse definitions of war used by publicists. We shall keep to the element of the thing itself, to a duel.”…

may ask themselves these questions concerning life or death during war. There are many emotions involved when discussing any war. There are many states who have benefited from wars, and some who have suffered from wars. There are people who have lost their lives on the battlefield and honored as heroes. Some people see this as a senseless death versus being victorious or a hero. There are different views among people concerning wars, one in which we feel devoted to both sides, the victorious…

because of the war. New organizations were formed, laws were passed, the country got a new president, and the United States almost engaged in war with the Soviet Union. The changes that occurred in this decade were the start of a new era. The domestic and foreign policies of the United States in the 1940’s helped to shape the world into what it is today, by forming organizations like the United Nations, engaging in the Cold War, and changing the home life of Americans with new laws. World War…

understanding of real events because it tells you about the courage of the six hundred because they went on even though they knew someone had made a mistake. The Charge of the Light Brigade helped me understand real events because this was life during the war there was no time for thought about losing or death you just had to push through and fight. The poem was written about a charge by British forces across open terrain in Ukraine. British troops were in Ukraine because Russia was…

Her plane crashed, barely stopping before falling into a deep trench along a destroyed village road (Noggle, 2001). Similarly to Raspopova, Zhigulenko and her crewmate also had luck on their side when they were hit out of the sky in the Crimean Peninsula during a mission to constantly bombard the German troops to keep them from being able to get their own planes in the sky. Initially, Zhigulenko thought that her crewmate had, in the confusion of having the plane stall while upside down,…

politics and art of military warfare is no different from the ancient times and usually operates the very same principles. Recent expansion of the Arctic by the Russian Federation made a lot of countries wonder if this is a new chapter of the Cold War and if the world’s boundaries would be changing again. The base, dubbed "The Arctic Trefoil" due to its three-point structure, was built on Franz Josef Land – an archipelago in a remote region of the Arctic. The 14,000-square mile complex, which…

the tremendous loss of territories and land through multiple military campaigns by European countries. Russia, in particular, had a growing desire to capture Constantinople and gain control over the Black Sea after its embarrassing defeat in the Crimean War. Although Russia did not capture Constantinople, during a time of uncertainty and instability in the Ottoman Empire, Peter the Great came to power and strengthened Russia’s military greatly (Cook). Because of this, Russia was able to capture…
