The War After War Since 1980

The Cold War was a “competition” between the Soviet Union and the United States of America, occurring from approximately 1945 through 1991. The Cold War received its name because it did not evolve into armed warfare or physical conflict. The 46-year-long war began immediately after the conclusion of World War II. Some believe it was Joseph Stalin who started it by saying, “He hated westerners in the same way as Hitler hated Jews.” In contrast, others believe that it was America who had started the war, by stating, “Among democratic countries it was only in the USA that presidents were elected against communism.” To others, the bombing of Hiroshima, which took place on August 6, 1945, sent a signal to the Soviets that the USA had used the atomic bomb on Japan, and would not hesitate using it on other countries. The war, characterized by the icy relationship between the two countries, included a number of aspects: the economic impact on both sides, the Space Race, the strong military coalitions, the sophisticated weapons development, and the steep financial costs. The Cold War ended in 1991, during Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev’s tenure. Gorbachev introduced Glasnost, the allowing of western goods to be imported, and perestroika, the easing of the government’s control on the economy. The reality set in that the Cold War was over when the Soviet Union dissolved into 15 separate and independent countries

The article The Ending the War: The Push for National Reconciliation by David Blight, explains how they reunite their differences through avoiding the hard work to change the Union, to actually reconstruct the social order that was needed against the confederate hostility, but only continues to embrace their white Southern remembrance, for example songs like, A Southern Song Opposes Reconstruction and war memorials. The evolution of Memorial Day during its first twenty years was even a show of differences from the Northern and Southern perspective, Northerners result was the freedom of African-Americans and the preservation of the Union and the Southern version of Memorial Day were rooted in the resistance to the reconstruction.

Throughout American history, it’s a problem between with government and states or different political parties. Quasi War is happen after the French Revolution, which United States refused to continue pay the debt to France.

The government past Naturalization, Alien Enemies, and the Sedition Act to prevent apy from other countries. The Quasi War had a huge impact on the political landscape of the United States.

The Cold War, which is often dated from 1945 to 1989, was a constant state of political and military tension between powers in the West, dominated by the United States with NATO among its allies, and powers in the East, dominated by the Soviet Union along with the Warsaw Pact. The development of Nuclear Weapons and long range shooting missiles by the United States gave a lot of fear and caused mass destruction. The Cold War came about after World War II when America used their atomic bombs on Japan. America fearing of a communist attack, and Soviet Russia disliking capitalism. The Cold War described a world where the two major powers, each possessing nuclear weapons and threatened with equally assured destruction. The development of a Civil Defense policy in the United States promised citizens survival opportunities in the event of a nuclear attack. This lesson connects this 1950’s policy with today’s national policy regarding survival during a biological or chemical terrorist attack.

The Undeclared War also called the Quasi-War was an unofficial naval war lasting from 1798 to 1800. It was between the US, with British assistance, and France. Before the war the relationship between America and France became increasingly negative after the American Revolution. Despite being the US’s ally during the Revolution, the US traded much more with Britain than with France. The US and Britain had resolved their issues by signing the Jay Treaty. The Jay Treaty was seen as a violation of an earlier treaty between France and America. In response, France decided to attack US merchant ships to prevent trade between it and Great Britain. When a war between France and Britain broke out the US took a neutral stance.

War is a dangerous game, many people would likely agree to this, however, very few have ever seen a battlefront. The truth is that war, no matter how awful we can imagine it, is always exponentially worse. In Timothy Findley’s The Wars, Robert Ross, the protagonist,­ faces a situation that he finds difficult to come to terms with, and when faced with a similar situation later on in the novel, he must take drastic measures to reconcile the uncertainties of the past situation. Timothy Findley suggests, through the life of Robert Ross, that one’s need to reconcile the uncertainties of past experiences dominate our actions when such situations come up again in our lives. In the words of Hiram Johnson, a US Senator during the First World War,

Views on Indians range from savages and man eaters to peaceful men. It is true that the Native Americans did have their faults, but when the settlers came to visit these habitual tribes people were suprised but not taken aback. Indians had seen the white people before, but the ones they saw had never come to stay. The colonists ended up about 500 miles north of what they planned, and were not prepared for the harsh winter ahead of them. They didn’t have enough food, shelter, or clothing. People were already dying of disease, hypothermia, and starvation. Samoset (an indian tribeman) told the englishman that he would help them survive the winter, and that he knew a man named Squanto that could speak better english than himself. Samoset introduced the strangers to Massasoit (cheif of

On September 11, 2001, two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, New York. This was the very first contact that the United States of America had with the terrorism that went on in Iraq. March 20, 2003 marked the day that President George W. Bush announced the start of the war against Iraq (1). This was the beginning of a very costly war on both America and Iraq. The cost of the Iraq War was not just the amount of money spent, but the impact of war on the soldiers and the toll that it took on the families of those who were involved, as well as the amount of time and dedication of resources put into the war by the Government.

Currently, the United States military is drawing down from thirteen years of sustained combat operations in two different countries: Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. Throughout this period of time, millions of veterans, as well as support personnel, have been deeply influenced by the dramatic effects of modern warfare. These individuals have knowingly and willingly sacrificed a tremendous amount – in thousands of cases, their lives. For those that do return, a vast number face difficulty regarding their mental health; however, this is not solely due to exposure to combat. As these individuals return home from the combat theater and separate from active duty military service, they often find

“The Tragedy of war is that it uses man’s best to do man’s worst” wise words from Henry Fosdick. When it comes down to the time where an individual hits rock bottom, a man either do its best or do its worst. Although, Man can do its best and do its worst at the same time. There are many reasons how man’s best can result to man’s worst. Henry Fosdick statement is both true and false.

In 1756 a dramatic event had just hit its peak. This is said to be the Seven Year’s War, which was between most of the European countries because of imperialism, but was fought primarily in North America as a territory dispute between France and Great Britain. These countries consisted of France, Saxony, Russia, Sweden, Great Britain, Prussia, and Hanover. What all contributed to the beginning of the war, what all happened in the war, and what made this war come to its ending?

Given that many plants need to be sown and then reaped when fully grown, the metaphorical conceptualization of people as plants may, accordingly, be elaborated to include a reaper, more specifically a conceptualization of death as the Grim Reaper (Lakoff & Turner, 1989, pp. 16, 75):

When asked how he felt about the deaths of 9 /11, Pablo Sequera , a 22 year old US army soldier in Iraq said "I wanted to bomb the fuck out of every single one of them towel heads". Now fighting in Iraq he says he has grown more sympathy and understanding toward Middle Eastern people. "Actually being up close, watching how they live every day in violence, has given me even more ambition to help them gain freedom" said Sequera. War will always change a person whether it's physically or mentally, a soldier never leaves the way he came in. The smells of gunfire, the loud ping of bullets bouncing off of metal, the vibrations of grenades exploding nearby, and the taste of their own fear climbing up into their throat will always remain close to
