War effort

The moment American soldiers set foot on Vietnam they were doomed to los. The Vietnamese people had fought for their independence and right to self-determination for decades before the American government intervened. They were a people who held the strong belief that Ho Chi Minh and Communism would lead them to self-determination and were not about to…

The subject of war and death comes with a sense of loss, terror, conflict and pain. Two examples of poetry that present the subject of war and death are Carol Ann Duffy’s poem, “War Photographer,” and Robert Bly’s poem, “Driving Through Minnesota During the Hanoi Bombings.” Both of these poems present vivid images of the battle, show the devastating feelings towards war and provide the psychological impact on those involved in war. It is as if the “War Photographer” has captured similar…

Foreign policy was influenced by the Cold War when relations between the United States and the Soviet Union began to deteriorate in 1946. A premise that created the turning point in history was when Stalin declared communism would ultimately triumph over capitalism. The need to stop the spread of communism became the fundamental foreign policy priority of the United States, as well as other members of the United Nations. In order to accomplish this America adopted a foreign policy of…

What is war?” is it merely a definition, defined as “ a conflict carried on by force of arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare, as by land, sea or air” (Dictionary). Is it greed, disguise as nationalism? Is it an illusionary obligation, fueling the egos of those believed to be superior, or perhaps it is the true face of freedom? For centuries, great phi-losophers have pondered with this very question, and most have not agreed upon the answer. However, through time,…

The early journey of the war was led through passivism. The American people were enjoying the fat of the economy following WWII. There was no immediate threat to the…

Civil War When the Civil War is mentioned, many people first think of the men who lost their lives in the fight for freedom and the preservation of the Union. What isn’t taken into account is the women who risked their lives for these very same causes. Not only did these women fight in the front line for their beliefs, but they were also behind the scenes; as nurses, spies, and even just staying at home to take care of their families and their homesteads. Without women during the Civil War, the…
