you for inviting me to this lovely multicultural festival, it’s a great honour to be speaking to all of you today. As you can see behind me, I’m going to try and clear up some misunderstandings in regards to Japan and how they were depicted during World War 2. You might be asking like “oh, why would she be teaching us about how they were misunderstood in WW2? Why not teach us about how they are now, in modern times?” And very good question! Thanks for asking! It’s because the portrayal of…

Throughout history there have been countless wars, and tragedies. However, none of those horrific events are comparable to the first World War. World War I was one of the most, if not the most bloodshed war, but what caused this horrendous war? There are many underlying causes of World War I, but the biggest cause of it was the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. The assassination of the duke resulted in European nations to form alliances, and those alliances also lead to…

The book by Stephen E. Ambrose ‘D-Day, June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II’ is about the planning and execution of D-Day mostly told in the viewpoint and words of soldiers who were there to witness it all. The book starts in the beginning of 1944 and ends on D-Day. Eisenhower the commander of the allies, and Rommel the commander for the Germans had much in common, but the major difference was Eisenhower could command anyway he wanted to. Rommel however had to get permission from…

World War II, if not the bloodiest, was one of the most bloody and expensive wars in all of history. WWII claimed millions of lives, cost billions of dollars, and spun the entire world upside down. While there were many different causes, three of them were the most significant including the Treaty of Versailles, the rise of Fascism and Nazism, and The Great Depression. The social, economic, and political instability that existed in Europe after World War I caused World War II. The first…

conclusion of World War I, the United States had already started on improving the armed forces through a vast array of innovations because of industrialization. However, it was not just the U.S. moving full steam ahead, so to speak, in developing their nation. The Germans also had great ambitions of being a dominate superpower; especially, with the rise of Adolf Hitler to power. In this essay, the discussion is going to concentrate on three new inventions/innovations during World War II, and…

been a theory on the cause of war, or an explanation for action taken both before and during wars. The theory proposes that alliances cause war in a few different ways, mainly through creating a security dilemma, and creating the opportunity for buck-passing and entrapment. These are the main ways in which an alliance can increase the likelihood of war. Throughout this portion of the essay I will begin by explaining the prevalence of alliances in the post-World War II era as well as how…

Women 's lives back in the 20 's and 40 's had a big difference within the time frame of the wars. They were the maids of the household when the men went off to work or to join the army. Women were prohibited to have jobs when married. Others thought that women were suitable for cleaning and cooking. As the war came women roles started to have a huge impact in World War 1 and World War 2. Before World War 1 started, women 's jobs weren 't a substantial aspect in the community. Women 's…

Propaganda is a political tool that has been around for centuries. Heightened in times of war and turmoil, the propaganda efforts during the Second World War saw an unprecedented rise in perceived importance to the war effort. Part of this rise was through new technology, including multimedia outlets such as radios, movies, and news literature. While propaganda became a tool used by every nation, British propaganda specifically, utilized motifs of good and evil in attempts to continually…

World War II was set off by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, in which Germany was forced to comply with a set of very strict terms which were intended to prevent the event of another war. Obviously, this backfired spectacularly; this much can be seen from the very fact that the Second World War did indeed happen. These terms caused national outrage, as Germany’s pride as a country had suffered greatly. One individual who sought to restore the nation back to its former glory had been Hitler…
