Following the conclusion of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union were thrown into a world-threatening rivalry known as the Cold War, as a result of both sides attempting to propagate their political doctrines. During this time of tension, both sides employed brinkmanship, or the practice of pushing a dangerous situation to the limits of safety, with the intent of forcing the other side to concede.

He was the first president to truly be a common man; his antecedents had all come from wealthy families along the east coast and were…

The general argument made by Charles L. Mee Jr. in The Cold War is that the Cold War was caused by each side coercing the other to create a conflict in order to reap the rewards. More specifically Mee argues that the Big Three’s actions and feelings caused distrust among the Western countries and the Soviet Union which fueled the start of the Cold War.

It wasn’t until a dramatic turn of events unfolded causing action by the Americans. Such actions were…

In “Francisco Lopez de Mendoza Grajales: The Founding of St. Augustine,1565”, seems to be based as a dairy or document. The reason why I say it’s a document is because the writer states “I, Francisco Lopez de Mendoza Grajales, Chaplain of His Lordship, certify that the foregoing is a statement of what actually Happened.”. This passage was created in the July until September 29, 1565 by Francisco Lopez de Mendoza Grajales. This document was written in Lanzarote Islands while Lopez stated “sailing…
