World War I was formally called the “War to End all Wars”. This was because of the number of casualties. How could such a bloody and gruesome war begin? It began in Europe. Tension was building. Most countries were building up their militaries. This was called militarism. Alliances were taking over Europe. The two main alliances were the Central Powers (Germany, the Ottoman Empire) and the Allied Powers (France, United Kingdom and Russia). The turning point was when Archduke Ferdinand of…

Throughout the history of Europe there have been many wars. They range from the Hundred Years’ war to the Napoleonic wars. Although both wars were devastating they did not compare to World War 1. By 1914 Europe was divided into two rival camps. One alliance, the Triple Entente, included Great Britain, France and Russia. The other side, the Triple Alliance included Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. As the countries stayed true to their beliefs to support one another countries there was serious…

The K-19 was the Soviet's first submarine equipped with nuclear weapons. In order to keep up with the United States, the Soviet Union quickly constructed the K-19. Construction began in the late 1950s. The ship soon proved to be deadly. During the frenzied construction of the submarine, several people died. Two workers died when an explosion caused a fire to break out. While gluing rubber lining into a water tank, six women were suffocated by fumes. An electrician was crushed to death by a…

Japan hoped to make the U.S. surrender before it could enter World War ll by using midget submarines to bomb them from under the sea level then tried to bomb them from above with fighter planes. The first step was the Japanese sent fighter planes to carry midgets to submarines so they could attack the U.S.. Then they tried to bomb the U.S. by using fighter planes because the Japanese thought that the U.S. would surrender after they used multiple try at doing that they failed. Leading up to…

trying to move. There is Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, and a few other gases in the air. that's why objects that are designed to move fast trough fluids are made very "smooth" because it will bend the air around the object. If the front of a submarine was blunt (flat) then it would basically be pushing the water as it moved which would require a LOT more force, but the front is smooth so it allows the particles to…

money. The thoughts of war were frowned upon by some, but an attack directly to our nations pride was enough to shift the mindset. The policy of unrestricted submarine warfare stated that after February 1, 2016 the German Government was to not approach any ports controlled by the enemies of Germany and sink any vessels through submarine attacks. The German government continued to wage war on President Wilson stated that we entered the war because our rights were being attacked. On April 6,…

The text and the lecture offer two opposing views on the possible causes of the ‘quacker sound’ which were heard by sailors in Russian submarines. While the text lists theories for those strange sound, the professor counters those specific points and explains that the theories might be accurate but there are certain problems with each of them and all the theories doubtable. First, the reading argues that the Orcas whales produce sound to attract a male is like this strange sound. On the other…

team that is in a immersed submarine. As the crew members are below sea level, they get hit by a mine that causes the ship to lose its propellers and the steering gear to become wrecked. It also was responsible for the death of Torpedoman Kimmel, a member of the team. Luckily, the radio, although damaged, was still working which allowed them to call for help. Unfortunately, they were trapped in a storm and prevented all planes from taking off and the nearest submarine was about four hundred…

even went as far as to use prototype submarines and unconventional tactics to rid itself of the behemoth nuisance. Although having the Bismarck and Tirpitz (with supporting ships) patrolling the Atlantic together would have been a formidable force to reckon with, Hitler…

themselves on top of the creature which is actually a submarine. They are caught by the people inside the submarine and are locked in a room for a long time. Nemo, the captain of the submarine, introduces himself very politely as and serves them a hot meal. He talks about his promise to live in the sea for his entire life. He treats them with utmost hospitality and tells them that they can enjoy all the freedom as long as they don’t leave the submarine. They agree with the captain’s demand and…
