New Military Technology Created During the Civil War In over eighty years between the American Revolution and the start of the Civil War, weapon technology had advanced greatly. Technological advancements like Eli Whitney’s interchangeable parts in 1797 helped in efficiently and quickly producing 10,000 muskets for the U.S. army using standardized parts and making them interchangeable. Before his invention muskets had been made by a single person without any standardized measurements making…

The speech that I looked at was given by Franklin D Roosevelt on December 8th, 1941 to the Congress. The introduction statement says “Yesterday, December 7th, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.” (Roosevelt, 1941) This is a strong introduction as to what happened the day before, to lead Roosevelt in to asking Congress to agree to declare war on Japan. Nothing in the introduction…

I have a strong desire to become an officer in the United States Navy. To achieve this goal I wish to be accepted into Officer Candidate School where I will later graduate with a commission as an Ensign. I believe myself to be of both strong mind and body, and I accredit this to my commitment to my school, my work, and my training. I graduated top ten percent of my class in High School and Magna Cum Laude in college and I continually try to increase the diversity of my knowledge so to become a…

The Pearl Harbor attack led to a world war. Japan thought that getting rid of the U.S. Pacific Navy would help them expand southward into southeast asia. The attack hurt the Pacific Navy so bad they could not even attempt to try and stop Japan from going southward. A lot of people think that the U.S. did not try and fight back but they did. The U.S. was so unprepared and surprised that they did not have any defense ready to fight back. Three- quarters of the 780 anti-aircraft guns had no one…

I am Timothy Neely and I am from Chicago, IL. When I was in high school I thought the last thing I would ever do is join the military. I was not very athletic so I knew the physical demands of any military branch would be a strain on me. After applying for several jobs I reluctantly started to look into military branches. When I started to look into them, I chose the Marine Corps strictly because it was widely regarded as the hardest branch and I thought if I could make through that, then I…

“The Temple” by H.P. Lovecraft are Karl Heinrich Graf von Altberg-Ehrenstein and Lieutenant Klienze. There are other characters involved in the story but none that go into detail. Altberg-Ehrenstein is the “Lieutenant-Commander in the Imperial German Navy and in charge of the submarine U-29” (Lovecraft, 27). Lieutenant Klenze was the fellow-officer on board. Amongst the rest of the submarine were sailors with poor attitudes and a knack for causing…

Military leaders do not necessarily have to come from combat or even been in the military. They just needed to have made a change in the way that warfare is done and made a difference to the men, and later women, in the military. One such man was John P. Holland. He is widely considered the Father of the Modern Submarine and I consider him influential because he made a major impact on the way that battles at sea are fought. Holland was born in Ireland where he grew up and worked as a teacher,…

What was the War of 1812? The War of 1812 was a war that consisted of the United States’ troops, Great Britain’s troops, Native American troops, and Canadian troops. There are several reasons why the War of 1812 began in the first place. One reason is because Britain had been in a conflict with Napoleon Bonaparte’s France, so both sides tried to prevent the United States from trading with the other. So in 1807, the British made it to be were neutral countries had to get a license from the…
