The Conflict Of The United States

Swimming against a current of pro-war fervor, McKinley stuck to his guns and persisted on remaining diplomatic with the investigation of the Maine explosion still ongoing. This seemed to infuriate the entire nation. Jingoists in congress, yellow journalists and the American public were clamoring for Spanish blood after the Maine, and to them McKinley came across as a feeble leader. McKinley offered one last chance for Spain to avoid war by agreeing to an armistice. He thought that the Spanish would understand that it would be a foolish decision to engage in war with a rising US power. The negative Spanish response did not leave McKinley with many options.

The armies of the United States of America varied greatly from the beginning of America 's independence in 1775 to the end of the War of 1812 in 1815. Different presidents holding office during this period brought different political views towards managing the army. These views affected the size and capability of the army in war and peace, with varying effectiveness. Effective in this case refers to the ability of the army to perform tasks given to them by the government. Opinions differing from the actions performed by the government provide insight into alternative ideas for the military, which had varying degrees of viability.

Every year, one million immigrants settle in the United States hoping for a new beginning, new opportunities, and a new life; however, they are welcomed by animosity, injustice, and discrimination. Even the president of the United States finds these immigrants to be troublesome despite their dedication to work hard to sustain themselves in their new home. Race related crimes continue to increase and the government is clearly making efforts to prevent more immigrants from seeking refuge in America as evidenced by the recent Muslim ban put into place by the Trump administration. Individuals fleeing from discrimination in their homelands are welcomed to a new form of discrimination here in the land of the free. Muslim

Although there are many defining years in the making of the United States as a nation, 1776 is the most important year due in majority to Washington and his decisions during the war.

The United States of American is a superpower in the world. Although it just have almost 240 years’ history, it experienced more than 200 wars. As a saying does, “ Bad times make a good man”, the United States never lack of great leaders. For example, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt were the three well-known presidents in the U.S. history. Additionally, wars and conflicts changed the United States directly and indirectly. For example, American Revolutionary War, American Civil War, World War I, World War II, and so on. Before the civil war, the United States was an underdeveloped country. The Gilded Age laid an important foundation for the next era in the American History. Moreover, World War I, and World War II also make the United States developing rapidly. Overall, these wars changed the United States’ political and economic structure, promoted the development of the United States. In addition, they provided opportunities for the excellent leaders of the United States.

From 1861 until 1865, the United States was embroiled in a war that took or changed the lives of some 625,000 people, leaving many more scarred, mutilated, mentally incapacitated, and with family torn asunder. The war, not fought against an opposing nation or an invading force, but with brothers and countrymen on opposite sides of armed lines, was both longer and bloodier than either side had predicted, though it had been coming for years. The question of slavery had caused numerous debates and fights at the state level as well as in the federal houses, and the many states holding slaves believed it was their right to decide their own future. After the election of Abraham Lincoln to the office of President of the United States, many saw

With Chester at the helm of the train they had made great time from Washington D.C. to Quantico. People came out from all areas along the tracks to see this huge massive monster moving down the railroad tracks. The one thing they all noticed immediately was the Stars and Strips flying high over the train as it moved at a moderate speed down the tracks. People saw Soldiers manning the several turrets that lined the locomotive and its cars; it was surely a sight to see. The Soldiers threw out flyers to people as they passed them. The flyers expressed that within the next few months’ regular railroad service would begin again between their location and various stops along the way to Washington D.C., it gave people hope.

In April of 1861 the bloodiest war that America had ever been involved in broke out between the states in the North, the Union, and the South, the Confederate States of America. This war was costly for each side in terms of man power, will and finances. In order to counteract the financial drain that the war was putting on the Confederacy’s economy the treasury began producing sheets of bonds that could be bought by the public and then sold back to the Confederate government at the end of the war for certain percentage gain.

The United States of America has always been involved with wars. From the American Revolution to the Iraq war, the U.S. is there. Now, when a country gets in a war, there are obviously positives and negatives associated with getting involved in a war, whether it is needed that they get into a war or not. Death is a serious negative when it comes to war, but if you look at the long term consequences that might come out of a war, then this might greatly affect the country. From an economic standpoint, a war can influence a countries economy greatly. A countries economy is very important when it comes to how that country stands and has influence in the world. A war can greatly impact that countries economy. It can either send that country into a great deficit, or it may have a positive influence on that country and send that country into a time of prosperity. Either way, after a war, a county’s economy will be effected by the economy.

July 16, 1945: This date is one of the most important days in world history. It is the day that the United States successfully detonated an atomic bomb just outside the Los Alamos research facility in New Mexico. It is also the date that created a massive conundrum for newly inaugurated Harry S. Truman and his closest advisors. War with Germany was over but the end of the war in Japan was a long way off, and was becoming farther out of site. The island hopping strategy employed by MacArthur and friends was stalling out. It was becoming more and more clear that the war with the Empire of Japan would be fought harshly to the very last man of the Imperial Army. Harry Truman was faced with a choice: use this new immensely powerful super-weapon on the mainland of Japan, or invade the main island and suffer a massive loss of life for an already bleeding America and Japan. The eventual decision came down to the value of American soldiers’ lives. While Harry Truman may have believed it was the correct military decision, diary entries, letters to loved ones, and top secret minutes reveal that he was struggling with the moral aspect of taking so many civilian lives and “uniformly and extensively devastating” two cities of Japan.[1]

On the morning of November 9, 1938, “sturmabteilungen” authorities commissioned by the Nazi regime enforced violent “pogroms” against Jewish communities. The orchestrated nationwide campaign of street violence across Germany, known as “Kristallnacht” (Night of the broken glass) lasted only two days but amalgamated the burning of thousands of Jewish homes, synagogues and businesses. The British government persuaded by public opinion and parliament, eased immigration restrictions to allow the passage of ten thousand Jewish refugee children. British authorities agreed to permit children under the age of 17 years old to enter Great Britain, on the basis that they would return home after the violent prosecutions of Jews subsided. Private citizens proposed a disposition, funding would be provided to support the education and personal care of each child emigrant. No one would have predicted the immense influence this transport would make post war. Many of the children would never return to their homeland nor the care of their parents, more importantly they were given a chance to live.

During the time from 1800-1900 America had gone through a series of some tough growing pains. It was recovering from its first war with Britain and would not be its last battle, for this newly formed country. The over whelming onslaught of war was just the start of this small country’s birth. Within the 1800’s there were 35 wars in America’s history and it was needing to prove its worth by each one. You will see reasons why a young country had to fight to save itself, what effects these battles had on America, and the battles that scared America the worst.

In June of 1950, Communist forces from North Korea poured south across the 38th parallel in an all-out attack on South Korea. Harry Truman was the U.S. President and had already made history by dropping the first and only two atomic bombs on Asian cities just five years earlier. He knew immediately and instinctively that this Communist attack had to be reversed or contained. And there to execute this purpose, in theory, was Douglas MacArthur, the commander of the United Nations forces in the region.

It is human nature to pursue living in a place with happiness and peace. If people suffer a lot in an region, they must begin to find another place in order to survive. Many people around the world suffer a lot, such as hunger and violence, especially in some Asian countries. These situations can be caused by a war for many years, terrorists or natural disaster. Today, because of the war in Syria, millions of refugees are trying to move to other countries, including the United States. Therefore, it is necessary for US to take in refugees because it is our responsibility and morality to care about victims and refugees.
