In the book, America's Great War: World War I and the American Experience, Robert H. Zieger discusses the events between 1914 through 1920 forever defined the United States in the Twentieth Century. When conflict broke out in Europe in 1914, the President, Woodrow Wilson, along with the American people wished to remain neutral. In the beginning of the Twentieth Century United States politics was still based on the "isolationism" ideals of the previous century. The United States did not wish to be involved in European politics or world matters. The U.S. goal was to expand trade and commerce throughout the world and protect the borders of North America.

Checkpoint Charlie- This was the nick name given by the Allies to the Berlin Wall. This wall was the crossing point between East Berlin and West Berlin during the Cold War. But citizens weren’t allowed to cross unless under special circumstances. Many families were separated because of that wall if they happened to be on the other side of that wall when it was made. This wall lasted from 1947 to 1991.

Over the past several decades, there have been great tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union which continue into what is known today as Russia. Suspicions and tensions between these two countries increased greatly during and directly after World War II, particularly between 1941 and 1949.

The British fired the first shot at the Battle of Lexington. For example, “...I believe between 200 and 300, formed in a common in the middle of the town….As we came near them, they fired one or two shots, upon which our men without any orders, fired and put them to flight” (Document A: Barker). Lieutenant John Barker was only one person in the British Army, and it is very unlikely that he was able to see, or hear, everything that was going on from his position on Lexington Green. As he approached the Green, he could have only been in earshot when the minutemen were firing in response to the British firing and not when the British first fired, or he thought the shot or shots were from the opposing side and not his own. Also, “While our backs

In the years following the War of 1812, the “Era of Good Feelings” evolved between the years 1815 and 1825. In the first half of this period, there was a strong sense of nationalism throughout the United States. However, political changes and economic differences between the states warped this nationalism into the sectionalism that divided the country into north, south and west regions. Celebrations of unity within the United States soon turned into disagreements concerning representation within the government and the differences within the national government caused by the emergence of different Republican factions. States distanced themselves from working collectively in a united economy. They were largely concerned with

During the twentieth century the United States of America became involved with three major conflicts that resulted in the nation shifting from a regional power into a global power. Through these conflicts the United States grew territorially, economically and industrially. Foreign policies were altered to allow the United States to gain ground on the world stage and to make their mark on the world. Through careful analysis of primary sources and scholarly document s it is clear to see that the United States involvement in the Spanish American war was the first step for the United States to grow on the world stage. The American victory in the war led to the acquisition of island territories and expanded economic and military capabilities in the both the western and eastern hemisphere as well as an increased involvement in Asia. World War I ended with American democratic ideals to be spread all across Europe. Led by President Woodrow Wilson, the United States led a one sided foreign policy that used intervention, peace treaties and military intervention to endorse international order. Despite a limited role in the war President Wilson was able to outline the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations and both of their presences can be found today.

In 1939 the world was plunged into World War II because of the Munich Agreement. The Munich Agreement was an agreement regarding the Sudetenland Crisis between the major powers of Europe after a conference held in Munich in Germany in 1938. The Sudetenland was an important region of Czechoslovakia. The Treaty of Versailles was the peace treaty created as a result of six months of negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, which put an official end to World War I between the Allies and Central Powers. The Munich Agreement caused many disagreements between European countries. Collective security was a more effective response to aggression than appeasement because more European countries disagreed than agreed

In 1866 the U.S. congress passed The civil rights act which allowed all black males the same citizenship no matter if they were a former slave or not as the white citizens of America. By passing this law it created tension in the south because African Americans had the same constitutional rights that white americans had. Some white people of the south resorted to lynching freed African Americans accused of crimes. Lynching is when a person would be murdered mainly by hanging and without the accused having the due process of the law. The victims did not receive a fair trial and their rights were not upheld what these people were doing was unconstitutional.

Following the victory of Britain and America in the French and Indian War, Britain was at a crossroads. The war had depleted much of Britain’s treasury and left the nation with a substantial debt. So naturally, Britain started to cut spending and increase revenues. America however basked in a victory for their lands and turned their gaze west, hoping to settle past the Appalachian mountains. This put Britain on edge, as part of their plan to cut spending would result in pulling most of their troops from America and thus leaving colonists in danger.

1.) After the defeat of the British Army in Yorktown it was time for the British to give the colonies there long awaited independence from the British Empire. The treaty of Paris in 1783 took months to finalize but it was well worth it for the Americans. In the treaty the British gave the colonies “900,000 square miles” (Shi & Tindall) of land. It also included no rights for the Native Americans to the land which in turn helped the colonies expanded westward in the late 18th century. It also absolved all the debts that the British thought the colonies owed them for the French and Indian war. The Continental Congress also was able to obtain all of the loyalist land that fled after the war was over. These massive lands and possessions were now

First of all, there was a higher participation among voters of the time since it was now not only possible for white, male, property-owners to vote, but also white men who were not property owners. All white males could now have their vote matter in the grand scheme. Whigs wanted a stronger central government, while the Jacksonian Democrats wanted less government. Also, under Henry Clay’s American system, he wanted the federal funds to help create roads and make other internal improvements. Jackson ended up vetoing this, which was the first time a president vetoed something because of personal preference. The Whigs were in uproar over this, which furthered the divide between two
