Guerrilla warfare

Hiroshima and Nagasaki stand as the worst atrocities ever committed in the history of warfare. The United States committed the most terrible mistake in its history, that they could not foresee all these catastrophic consequences and radiation of the atomic bomb. Only after this historical event, people gained a knowledge about the atomic weapon itself and about its horrifying impact on the life. Albert Einstein said that ‘‘I know with what kind of weapons World War Three will be fought, but…

The Bombing of Hiroshima is the first-hand account of the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. It was written by Yamaoka Michicho in order to express her opinion on the use of the atomic bomb. She believes that using the atomic bomb was inhumane and inexcusable. She intended for this to be seen by the Americans; to inform them of the pain and tragedy that they caused when they dropped the atomic bomb. Michicho writes about the effects of the bomb on ordinary citizens, who had done nothing to provoke…

The British navy, what was first thought to be a second line of defense during the Elizabethan era, after the 1640s, it was realistic to think of it as first line of defense. As Britain rise as a powerful navy, allowing England to flourish as a country as a whole, the question behind Britain’s motivation arises: What was the motivation behind Britain’s naval mastery during the seventeenth and eighteenth century? Different historians, such as Alfred T. Mahan, Roger Morriss, and Paul Kennedy, that…

Life out here is really different then the time I would like to spend in my home. I am writing this only as a way to not go crazy during this war. Me and the other soldiers have been fighting until there was no more strength in us. It is not easy to survive out here since we are constantly running out of food which leads to the starvation of many soldiers. My life here is all but comfort and relaxation. Due to all the new weaponry that came out in the late 19th century we are…

I’ve only seen one Stanley Kubrick film, “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and I liked it very much. For my next foray into the venerated director’s filmography, I watched his previous picture: “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. My recent venture into black comedy with “MASH” didn’t go so well, but I was sure I’d like this Kubrick film. And I did like it, but I still think it shows that I am out of my element with this subgenre of black comedy. “Dr. Strangelove” tells…

Anthrax is thought to be an ancient illness. While there is no way to be completely sure, as it was not referred to as anthrax at the time, many scholars date anthrax all the way back to 700 BC during the periods of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia (CDC, 2016). According to the CDC, “Many scholars think that in Moses’ time, during the 10 plagues of Egypt, anthrax may have caused what was known as the fifth plague, described as a sickness affecting horses, cattle, sheep, camels and oxen” (CDC, 2016)…

In this essay, I will be questioning whether the film ‘The Battle of the Somme’ provides a realistic picture of life in the trenches during the First World War. The Battle of the Somme, that had been fought in northern France, was one of the most violent battles that had taken place during the First World War. It had lasted five months while the British and French fought the Germans on a 15- mile front. The purpose of this battle was to hopefully alleviate the French who had been fighting at…

According to the ancient Greek mythology, the Phoenix’s true home is the paradise, a land of unimaginable beauty lying beyond the distant horizon towards the rising sun. Nothing dies in Paradise. After a thousand years had passed, The Phoenix had become oppressed by the burden of its age, and the time had come for it to die. To do so, the Phoenix had to fly…

Many people of today’s society still have questions to how the Marvel Comic figure Iron Man came upon the scene. There are many theories and assumptions, but the film Iron Man shows in detail how this unique hero was created. Iron Man is not considered to be your average superhero, his superhero like powers came in a more constructive way rather than being bitten or coming in contact with the super natural. The process of creating Iron Man took many failures, but this character was established…
