Similarities Between The Papua Civil War And The American Civil War

There were many situations and events in history that led to wars, freedom of religion, civil unrest, unfair trade, terrorism, and independence. By examining experiences, troubles, and triumphs of

This work is focused on providing an analysis of Southern and Northern perspectives from a justifying point of view, in order to form an outline of the opposing sides' motives. Both parties were strongly driven by nationalism and had very different views and values, which they were compelled to protect throughout escalating disquiet and imminent violence.

When a researcher studies the causes of most wars, the causes for nearly any war are usually innumerable. However, there are a select few wars that even in the presence of several different motives, one underlying object or ideal seems to always be the root of the problem. One prime example of this idea is the American Civil War wherein almost every individual soldier had a different reason for being on the battlefront. One nation whose people had grown into a melting pot had slowly been torn down the center for several decades before the inevitable war came. Slavery seemed to affect everything in the United States during the time leading up to, during, and even after the Civil War. Thus, the issue was unavoidable, and whatsoever conflict

The American Civil War endured four long and bloody years, from 1861-1865. Many effects of the Civil War were permanent changes for America’s history from the battle between the bluecoats and the grey. Following reconstruction and the succession of a new president after Lincoln’s death, differences of the North and South remained from 1866 on into the 1900’s. Whether it being social, economic, or political discrepancies, the growth of the nation remained divided and suffered different complications in between.

Throughout history, our world has constantly been bruised and battered by civil turmoil. Today, the civil war in Syria decimates the country; the Israeli and Palestinian conflict rages on; tens of thousands of people have been killed in South Sudan's ongoing civil war. It is not always easy to isolate what exactly ignites the flames of war, but, whenever possible, finding a workable, calm and satisfying solution to a potential uprising is preferable.

Civil war, such as you have just passed through naturally engenders feelings of animosity, hatred, and revenge. It is our duty to divest ourselves of all such feelings; and as far as it is in our power to do so, to cultivate friendly feelings towards those with whom we have so long contended, and heretofore so widely, but honestly, differed. Neighborhood feuds, personal animosities, and private differences should be blotted out; and, when you return home, a manly, straightforward course of conduct will secure the respect of your enemies. Whatever your responsibilities may be to Government, to society, or to individuals meet them like men.

Looking at wars in history one may question the ability to avoid such casualties and destruction that occurred. Such as the civil war where American’s fought American’s seizing to destroy each other even though both had worked hard to overcome Britain’s monarchy and develop the free nation. However the civil war became inevitable when President Lincoln was elected due to such different views between him and the south. These differences included economic, social, and political differences which divided the north and the south enough to spark the civil war.

Some say that war never changes. That in the end, it is always the same, a time where conflict took the better of humanity. They take a look at the big picture, but never take the time to look at the pieces that compose it. War is a constantly evolving puzzle, where new pieces are constantly being added, making the puzzle more complicated every time. With every new era comes new tools. In the American Civil War, a country divided against itself will see warfare like never before, from repeating rifles, different type cannons and ammunition, submarines, grenades, and many more.

In order to test this hypothesis properly, multiple steps and measures needed to be taken to ensure the data procured was not only accurate but also pertinent to the study. The first of these steps was to establish a standardized definition of what actually determines what is and what is not an interstate war. In this study, an interstate war is classified as being a conflict between two or more states in which at least one thousand battlefield deaths occur. It should also be noted that at least one hundred of these deaths must be incurred by each state that is participating in the conflict. This helps to differentiate war from other violent acts such as massacres or genocides.

The Civil War, a destructive and calamitous event in United States' history, which can never be forgotten. This was a complex conflict that took this nation through its darkest period. It cut to the very core of the political, economic, and social elements of American life. The civil war greatly impacted American history because it ended slavery, it led to military inventions, and it brought the north and south together.

“In 1898 the Spanish-American War ended Spanish control of the Philippines, but U.S. military forces continued to fight against Filipino rebels seeking full independence. In response, a group of famous Americans, including Carl Schurz, Mark Twain, and journalist E.L. Godkin, organized the Anti-Imperialist League to advocate an end to U.S. involvement in that country. The League’s opposition was based on its interpretation of U.S. history” (Carl Schurz, Platform of the American Anti-Imperialist League 1899). This war led to the nation administering the burden of babysitting the Filipinos, which caused debates between imperialist and anti-imperialists over whether or not we had the right to take such a role and govern these people without their approval. “When next I realized that the Philippines had dropped into our laps, I confess I did not know what to do with them” (William McKinley, “Decision on the Philippines” 1900). Clashes between the Philippines and Americans began to emerge around the twentieth-century due to the Filipino’s misconstrued hopes that they would be granted independence, leading to yet another avoidable war for then U.S.: the Philippine-American War. Therefore, in regards to the nation’s want for expansion as well as the Spanish-American and Philippine-American wars of the twentieth-century, the United States should have taken a more laissez-faire role to have avoided unnecessary

In the past centuries, colonialism has been a country’s way of gaining great amounts of wealth and cheap labor. The idea of colonialism has been heavily controversial, in terms of today’s standards. In the United States of America, Americans were also against this idea, since they also have been under the harsh rule of the British empire. However, after the Spanish-American war ended in 1898 through the Treaty of Paris, the US government decided to own the colonies that have been ceded by the Spanish. This decision marked the turning point in American history because it violated their constitution and redefined what it means to be the”upholders” of democracy. In one of the acquired colonies, the Philippines expected ultimate independence instead of a change of colonial power. This allowed conflict to mount between the two countries, which prompted the Filipinos to stage a revolt against the Americans. Unfortunately, because of the U.S. government’s dedication to establish its sovereignty over the islands, the desire of the Filipinos to gain their independence, and the economic implications of the islands towards America, the two countries were unable to form a compromise leading to the Philippine-American War. This resulted to the death of more than 250,000 Filipinos and 4,200 U.S. troops. Ironically, this ugly encounter between the Americans and the Filipinos brought peace and strong relations after the war that last until today.

In the American history, there are different types of war does this country has to faced because of issues that effected other life. After the war, the country sees huge different in the country’s economy and changes into social environment.

From 1967 through 1979 , a war in Zimbabwe was fought for independence. Young rebels of black society fought a guerrilla war with the white minority government.
