TU-95 “Bear” Strategic Bombers – The Tu-95, nicknamed by NATO reports as “Bear” is a strategic bomber and missile platform. It was designed during the Cold War and entered service in 1956. Reports from the Russian Air Force (RAF) expect it to serve until at least 2040.

The Exploratory Student Advisement department was located in the New Student…

It was through that determination that thousands of American lives were lost in an undeclared war in a foreign nation that simply wanted to be free. Americans were easy for the guerilla soldiers to spot because they were foreigners, they used loud and heavy equipment, and they ate and drank unfamiliar food. Majority of the soldiers…

Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union by Germany, was a massive undertaking by an ambitious dictator during World War Two. It was an undeclared attack, breaking a non-aggression agreement, and came as a smashing blow to the Stalin and a welcome development to the Chamberlin. It changed the course of the war, affecting foreign relations, resulting in the Axis and Allied Alliances we know today.

The world has known many great leaders, however, in my opinion President Franklin Roosevelt has made the biggest impact on our economy and government in this century. Roosevelt began a new era in American history by ending the Great Depression and helping the Second World War come to an end. Without Roosevelt who knows where this country could have gone? In 1929, the U.S. suffered from a stock market crash. This crash set off a train reaction that plunged the U.S. into what is known as the…

On January 1, 1994 the Zapatista uprising took place in Chiapas, Mexico. The Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) had been organizing long before 1994, but the New Year’s Day uprising is very significant to their beginnings as it propelled them onto a national and international spotlight. Rooted in their cause was anti-neoliberalism as it related to the indigenous struggle.

This principle was the basis for developing destructive warfare in most wars of the past and is no exception for the modern day. With the discovery of radiation and the start of the World Wars, the Unites States developed and publicized radioactivity, not caring for the immediate consequences, only hoping to win the war, become a world power, and understand…

Other factors that could have caused the defeat of the Spanish Armada besides the Protestant wind involves looking at events that took place before and during the invasion.
