Ramesses II

I stumbled across an article on CNN.com about a Japanese Zero pilot in World War II lamenting the war and his country’s role in it. One point made in the article that caught my attention was “Harada said his main concern is that as his war generations dies out, decisions about Japan’s future will rest with younger people who have only known peace and never experienced the horrors of war” (Wright, 2015). That is a sobering thought and equally applicable here in the United States along with the…

sides fell into a stalemate. This is perhaps when a third world war looked imminent. Much like Japan at the end of World War II, the North Korean army had been driven back into their own territory, yet refused to surrender. They could not come to a peaceful agreement, and the U.S. dropping a bomb on North Korea would have the same effect as it had on Japan at the end of World War II. However, instead of ending a war, it would have started one. The USSR also has nuclear weapons, and if the U.S.…

When you think of the devastating warfare of World War I and World War II you probably believe that these wars have a lot in common as far as warfare goes. Involving self-consumed leaders with their anarchy methods involving politics that ultimately lead to the violence of warfare and terrorism. Primarily, World War I and World War II are unique in their own ways and they both are surprisingly different from each other and dissimilar from a lot of other involving warfare conflicts over the…

The Day That Flashed By, And Then Again During the second World War many inhumane things were done, which made this war one of the worst in history. On August 6th, 1945, Hiroshima became victim to the first atomic bomb deployed by The United States. The bomb immediately killed tens of thousands of people; many more would later die of radiation exposure. Three days later a second deployed bomb was dropped on Nagasaki killing an estimated, forty thousand people. With these bombings, thousands…

In the beginning, it was established that Japan that was in control of Korea from the annexation they made in 1910. April 1945 the Yalta Conference agreed to make a four power trusteeship for Korea near the end of World War two. Korea was split into two pieces, North and South Korea. The United States had control of the southern part of Korea below the 38th parallel, and the Soviet Union occupying the northern area. Later on in that year it was settled that the country would be reconnected and…

The term propaganda first came to use during the 17th century and is still used today. Propaganda was crucial during World War II for the victory of the Allied forces due to its unification of the untouched American home front which created mass production of war goods. Radio broadcasting, films and print advertisements were used to disseminate propaganda in World War II. During the first world war the US heavily used propaganda to promote their “War to end all wars” campaign and said the…

Hitler violated the Treaty of Versailles many times. In 1936 he sent German troops to march into Rhineland, two years later he ordered them into Austria and wanted to annex it to German Reich, and in 1938 he threatened to invade Czechoslovakia. World War II began on September 1, 1939 after Hitler attacked Poland. During WWII Hitler, was arresting not only Jews but communists, Slavs, homosexuals, and mentally or physically disabled people. This was the beginning of the holocaust. Hitler started…

thought of resurrection and hope that Adolf Hitler brought with him. In a mere six years, the German dictatorial regime led to World War II. Such events like the unfair treaty of Versailles, the seductive Nazi propaganda, the sheer speed of the events as well as Britain and France’s ignorance made such a disdained event possible. Some scholars argue that World War II was a continuation of the first world war and that it had been inevitable whilst others argue that it could have been evitable if…

conflict among people results in major issues. Problems between the United States of America and various Communist countries resulted in nearly 50 years of conflict. After World War I, the first Red Scare spread throughout the country. Following World War II, a second Red Scare occurred. A second Red Scare occurred due to problems that started during the Cold War. The years following World War I, filled with strong patriotic feelings among Americans, gave many people sense of pride never…

Without the American home front helping there is no way that the Allies could have won WWII. As significant to the war as it was, it also helped change some things here too. The home front helped win the war, diminish some racism issues, and develop technology and the economy. After Pearl Harbor, the country worked together across the board to make sure that we won against Japan and the rest of the Axis powers. The able men healthy enough to help the army enlisted in huge numbers. The ones left…
