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. There are a lot of reason reason can cause people to flee their homelands and become refugees. For example, if people meet hostility, insecurity and discrimination in their nations, they might migrate to other place for better lives. From 1881 to 1894, under Tsar Alexander III’s control, “official persecution encouraged pogroms, or violent mob attacks on Jewish people. Gangs beat and killed Jewish people and looted and burned their homes and stores” (Ellis, & Esler). Wherefore, large numbers of Jewish refugees left Russia due to the savage persecution. Besides persecution, a war also can lead to thousands of refugees flee a country, especially a war last for many years. Nowadays, many conflict existed around the world, such as the Middle East where many refugees left their regions, particularly “in Iraq and Syria, where ISIS’s advance and the Syrian civil
A refugee is a person who was forced to leave their country. Whether it be from warfare or natural disaster, their homes are no longer safe to live in, so they need to relocate elsewhere. Once someone sets foot on the journey of becoming a refugee, they become vulnerable and dependent with no sense of what the future will bring. In an attempt to accommodate them, first world countries with the resources necessary to assist these refugees, are struggling to determine whether or not they should step-in and help. Some argue that taking them in could come with excessive consequences, while others believe they could be assets. Although there may be a few consequences, they are outweighed by the benefits and undeniable severity of the situation.
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.
The dilemma regarding the American refugee policy and America’s stance on refugees at this point in time is a challenging topic for many to discuss. Not only is this controversy affecting Americans, it is also hurting refugees in desperate need of our help. America needs to start handling the emerging refugee crisis by first working to remove the stereotype associated with refugees, then the U.S. needs to assess which refugee countries should (if any) actually be banned, and after accomplishing those-- America needs to work to help the countries in need by letting refugees in, and working to help the refugees live happily in their country of origin.
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

It is fair to refer to the United States as the stray seed of Great Britain’s Earlier Empire, yet even with this relationship their executive leaderships and institutions are vastly different. Like an abused child, the United States vowed to, and successfully created a system of governing completely different from the monarch they were previously ruled under, giving birth to a presidential system that would become the leading example of political democracy.
The war had been going on for over a 3 years now, and it seemed as if it had only just begun. It also seemed like the U.S. was inevitably going to lose. Their wasn’t really much on their side other than a history record. China on the other hand had 4 times the army size, and an extra billion people that could be forced to fight if need be. The only hope the U.S. had was to think faster, fight harder, and have some really magnificent, ingenious idea.
“It is the most unsordid act in the history of any nation,” Winston Churchill proclaimed when Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Lend-Lease Act, giving tens of billions of dollars worth of war materiel and supplies to the enemies of Germany in the Second World War. (Underhill 69). As the democracies of Europe fell to the fascist menace, the USA acted as a final bastion against the Axis, fighting an industrial and economic ‘undeclared war’ from the signing of the Lend-Lease Act on March 11, 1941 to the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7 of the same year. The Lend-Lease, in addition to shifting the tide to the favor of the Allies and the Soviet Union, had significant long-term effects - it provided the basis for the Marshall Plan to restore Europe after the war, and thus helped spawn the interventionist policy which the American government used as a basis for several actions, ranging from the Gladio Operation in Italy to the Vietnam War. (Willbanks 56). Therefore, the exploration into the economics and politics of the Lend-Lease Act provided the pathway for the United States to achieve both political and economic dominance in international encounters and exchanges initially in the West and, later, globally.
The Road of the United States in becoming a truly united nation has not been a path without turmoil. Many lives were laid down to form the structure of this country and fought for its right to freedom. One of the bloodiest conflicts in the United States’ history was the war between states or more commonly referred as the Civil War. This war leads to much unnecessary violence ridden battles that were precluded by many cases. The Civil War had many profound effects on how the United States ran as a country, and the civil war was caused by the differing idea of slavery, the election of Abraham Lincoln, and the southern states seceding from the United States.
Operation Iraqi freedom started on March 20th 2003. One of the main reasons for America to go to war was the terrorist attacks on September 11th 2001. During a speech by President George W. Bush on January 2002, he stated that Iraq had a connection to the terrorist group al-Qaida and was identified as a “rouge nation”. America reacted by sending in its military to get rid of the Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein. All branches of the military were deployed to participate in Operation Iraqi Freedom, but only one branch stood out amongst the rest for doing noteworthy effects and some damaging effects. This branch of service was the U.S. Marine Corps. The U.S. Marines played a major role in Operation Iraqi Freedom because they fought and won a lot
The Civil War of the United States, a war that stretched on for a period of four years, was among the worst events ever to occur in American history. The casualties marked by far, the bloodiest in America’s involvement in wars at six-hundred twenty-thousand military soldiers dead. To this day, it is known as one of the most memorable wars in our history. But is that why this war is so well remembered? The strikings of terror and death hold a heavy grip throughout the course of history worldwide, and in fact is one of the key elements that make drama, mystery, suspense, and horror so fascinating in literature. Indeed, there are many incidents in history that are well marked mostly for their count on how many were found dead. However, death
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.
The definition of genocide must of recently changed without many individuals being aware, unless the current ongoing pertinent issue did not want to be addressed in the twenty-first century. In the largest country in Africa, it is unimaginable that a genocide conducted by their government continues while the rest of the world does nothing. The largest country in Africa is Sudan, which is located on the northeastern side of Africa. The western region of Sudan is the primary focus, Darfur. This region of Sudan has experienced for years a consistent war that overtime has become forgotten. In the twenty-first century, it is difficult to realize that an actual genocide is happening. The individuals in this region are experiencing a harsh and difficult life that begin in the year of 2003.
Syrian refugees face countless challenges every day of their lives. Refugees who have not found safety amongst North America and Northern Europe must fend for themselves on the outskirts of the Middle East. Thousands of refugees have perished in the last year alone, attempting the journey
