World War II: The Four Freedoms Because the United States had been supporting isolationism and were creating and supporting non-interventionist groups, such as the America First Committee, President Franklin D. Roosevelt felt it was time for a change in America's stance on the involvement of war. To do so, he delivered the Four Freedoms Speech on January 6, 1941. The Four Freedom Speech had been addressed to Congress in effort to move the nation away from the foreign policy of neutrality.…

We continue to walk to what we hope is West. Navigating my way through the forest is extremely hard. Everyone takes turns leading because that person had to clear paths for everyone to follow. Whenever it is my turn we seem to come across the most blocked off areas possible. Everyone constantly has to stop and help me clear the path. Sometimes, even with everyone working, we can’t get through and we have to find a different way. We are all working on a certain area when I hear someone in a…

In the course of history, it is sometimes difficult to define monumental moments and what exactly caused those moments. Usually, it is not until many years later that specific actions and events in history become essential and highly influential pieces of the larger picture. Then it is possible to evaluate the causes of these crucial moments. It is the same with World War II.

A lot of people get discriminated against every day for anything and everything. The most common type of discrimination to me is black and white, and that dates back ages in slavery and all other things.

not say or do anything to his brother in order to keep the secret (Kate Clements). Arguably, World War II was shortened by 2 years when the allies could decipher the messages and the Germans did not know it, allowing them to strategically plan the Normandy invasion. The team of mathematicians had to stay obedient to the leader who ordered them not to inform anyone. This example demonstrates how sufficient reasoning is provided for the agentic state theory, and how it is…

World War Two propaganda appeared to have truly impacted the actions of the fighters and the general population with due regard to the distinctive issues and considerations promoted by every nation. France and Britain were bent on getting their soldiers to stay and continue to fulfill their duty on the war fronts and the poster I have chosen I believe was created to encourage these soldiers, “We beat ‘em before, we will beat ‘em again”. I believe that my poster was made by the French and British…

There were as many disadvantages to the use of atomic bombs in World War II for President Harry S. Truman as there were advantages. When Harry Truman learned of the accomplishment of the Manhattan Project, he recognized he was faced with a choice of supreme gravity.
