Escalation

This, along with the escalation of the Cold War, proves to be vital in triggering the commitment of U.S. combat forces in 1965. In order to fully comprehend the complex causes of the Vietnam War, one must go beyond the war itself and inspect Vietnamese history and people. During…

Introduction For my assignment I was asked to identify conflicts on various levels that are based on the video, Epilogue: Savage's Apology. Through analysing this twenty minute video I will describe the factors that were involved in the development and escalation of the conflict, the conflict resolution skill that were used and lacked, and finally I will end my assignment with an appropriate mediation process that were and could be used. Forgiveness plays a big role in our lives. Without it we…

In April 1994, a plane transporting the Rwandan president, Juvenal Habyarimana, was shot down which had in turn sparked the death of many Hutu and Tutsi civilians. Since this time, many books have been published about the killings that had occurred in Rwanda, focusing on the 1990s, most of the authors start their investigation on the history of Rwanda's, attempting to find explanations and the political factors that implemented the 1994 genocide. There is a large speculation about the definition…

Different from Garfinkle's point of view, history professor, Melvin Small, disputes with the author about the antiwar movement being a significant factor on the Vietnam War policies that contributed to the end of the war by several reasons. The first reason of the antiwar movement was the pressure it caused on Presidents Nixon's and Johnson's foreign policies. Professor Small explains how antiwar protests like the march on the Pentagon in October 1967 and 1969 affected the Johnson administration…

The end of WWII should have heralded in a new age of relatively stable peace. The Axis powers had been defeated and Nazi Germany was no more. Instead, the U.S. and the USSR plunged the world into the Cold War. Unlike any previous war, it was one of the longest confrontations in U.S. history. It spanned five decades and across continents, involving millions in the battle between capitalism and communism. There isn’t a simple answer as to how the Cold War came to be. However, there is a trail of…

There was no clear path to a decisive and quick victory. This conflict would become, “a protracted war involving an open-ended commitment of U.S. forces, mounting U.S. casualties, no assurance of a satisfactory solution, and a serious danger of escalation at the end of the road.” (Readings 9, George Ball Dissents, 1965, 217). Johnson should never have agreed to send troops to Vietnam. Doing so only prolonged American presence in Vietnam, which led to massive casualties, caused an…

side bargained with the other about… the ground rules...by deliberately escalating the conflict a certain amount but not more or by ostentatiously holding itself to some particularly obvious limitation.” One of these obvious limitations could be an escalation to an atomic war. In order to achieve this however, critics of Massive Retaliation noted that a conventional ground force would be a necessity. Other critics of the deterrence strategy, many of them foreign allies, doubted America’s resolve…

Summary The New World Kirkpatrick Model supports the implementation and evaluation of the strategic goal to begin with the end in mind. Implicit bias awareness, de-escalation training and community policing and effectiveness calls for the comprehensive approach beyond what Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick (2016) describe as a Level 1, where participants find the training engaging and favorable. Variables beyond the police department control are the behaviors for the implementation to meet the…

The United States challenged the Soviet Union igniting what became known as the Cold War, which lasted for nearly fifty years from 1947 to 1991. The war was not actually fought between the two nations on the battlefield, but rather was fought through espionage, propaganda, the supply of weapons to allies and the the arms race for nuclear supremacy. The origin of the Cold War was conflict between Communism and Democracy. Russia sought to expand Communism globally, whereas America sought to spread…
