5. How significant was the Battle of the Atlantic to the outcome of the Second World War? In this essay we will be discussing the Battle of the Atlantic during world two. We will examine the battle itself, its outcome and finally how it impacted on The Second World War as a whole.

War shapes the future by the blood spilt on the battlefield settling the conflicts that caused the rage in the first place. As soldiers die for the ideology of a small group of men, it feeds the fire that creates a horrific picture.

American Senator William E. Borah of Idaho said it best as he voted to declare
America is at war. But who is the enemy that America is fighting? This enemy, known generally as terrorism, lives in a different world than the American superpower. Terrorism is the child of decades of religious disputes, histories of deep national pride, and what is seen as infringement upon Islamic holy grounds.

Butler’s book includes a thorough outline of the ‘grievability’ factor for people deemed a threat to the public in times of war and thereby thought to be less ‘grievable’ under the scrutiny of the media. The author discusses how this effect causes the public to easily dismiss people of these less grievable

Because gentrification is such a widespread, international phenomenon that differs greatly depending on each case, there are many definitions of gentrification. For the purpose of this essay, gentrification will be defined as Scottish geographer and widely accredited gentrification theorist Neil Smith (1982) described it:

The heavy influence of a difference in political standing between the Soviet Union and the United States, in conjunction with the high tensions that followed in the post war period, set the foundations for American foreign policy to adapt and change to better suit the developing political agender of the time.
