This is what the second world war was like, and in all of the fighting, all of the death, America left the war changed forever, and most importantly for the better. World War II was the sole war that spurred the greatest change in the United States of America than any war it had experienced, in its past and…

nuclear fusion or a combination of the two processes. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. This bomb releases the same amount of energy as approximately 20,000 tons of Explosive Trinitrotoluene (TNT). Nuclear weapons are the most dangerous weapons to mankind.One hit can destroy an entire country. The United States was the first country to develop a nuclear weapon called the “Manhattan Project” in August of 1942. On July 16, 1945 the United…

the ability to raise their prices above inflation. In 1994, the national postal company in the Netherlands partly privatized. After control transferred in 1995 to the private sector, the company soon merged into a worldwide delivery company known as TNT. Netherlands opened postal markets to competition in 2009 (Edwards para 12). Across the world, the costs at the New Zealand Post were cut in the 1980s, putting the company into corporate forn. The country repealed its postal monopoly in a series…

In terms of the economy, the amount of defense spending of the United States’ during the Cold War Era was significantly smaller compared to the spending during World War I and II, with the second World War being the largest of the three. With that being stated, at the end of World War II, defense spending sharply decreased, but increased again in 1947, being the marked beginning of the Cold War, and proceeded to fluctuate, notably in the early 1950s signifying the Korean War and from 1955-1975…

Albert Einstein was a great scientist who was well-known for his Special Theory of Relativity E=mc2 (Energy=mass times the speed of light squared). Although he was a pacifist and did not want to help in the creation of such a weapon he found it necessary at the time. Einstein would never want Adolf Hitler to get control of such a weapon, and urged President Franklin Roosevelt to build the atomic bomb (doug-long.com) The atomic bomb was not the most powerful bomb that could be created using…

Chemistry The discovery of gunpowder, or black powder, by the Chinese in the 10th Century revolutionized how wars were fought. Gunpowder is the earliest known chemical explosive composed of approximately 75 percent potassium nitrate (KNO3), commonly known as saltpeter, 15 percent charcoal and 10 percent sulfur. This ratio of 75:15:10 ratio of saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur is commonly known as black powder. Together, the mixture of these three compounds in a proper ratios create a powerful…

Strategies seek to cohesively integrate an organization’s chief goals, policies, and action plans into one. If strategies are precisely formulated, they assist in organizing and allocating resources into a unique and viable level based on their relative internal strengths and weaknesses, future environmental changes, and competitors’ moves, globally. It is thus important for managers to formulate effective strategies that differentiate their firms from competitors to ensure they meet customer…

Within the first few decades of the 20th century, the science of physics was completely reformed with new understandings of the nature of atoms. In 1898 France, Paris, Pierre and his wife Marie Curie discovered a new substance within an ore of Uranium that they named radium that emitted large amounts of (as we now call) radioactivity. Ernest Rutherford and Frederick Soddy Identified that atoms can break down and turn into different elements. For example if a block of uranium were left alone for…

Canada’s war contributions didn’t only come in battle, but also back home at the National Research Council. The NRC’s research on explosives led to the development of RDX, an explosive stronger than TNT. The NRC was a military science and weapon research organization. They participated with the allies to perform important research that lead to many of the important developments that helped to protect the military. The NRC (National Resource Council)…
