Immediately after World War II, the world was thrown into a massive ideological conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, which culminated into the Cold War. The Cold War ignited overwhelming, panic-inducing fears across the United States, and Dwight D. Eisenhower, elected in 1952 and remained president until 1960, was faced with the challenge of quelling the fears of the American people. Americans during the Cold War, particularly during the presidency of Eisenhower, had constant fears of Soviet expansion, the pertinent anticommunist crusade at home, the spread of communism, and the neverending uneasiness of total nuclear annihilation, all fears which the Eisenhower administration would inadequately allay.

Because many citizens in the southern United States felt overpowered by the northern United States, it led into the Civil War. The controlment by the north over the south can be shown in this quote from Hinton Helper in document C, “we are dependent on Northern capitalists for the means necessary to build our railroads, canals, and other public improvements.” This conveys the idea that in contrast with the north, the south was less influential in decision making. They had to rely on the north to obtain goods and resources, and inventions were often decided to be made by the north. This was because the economy of the northern, free states was based on industries and business, so it was their job to maintain the production of goods, and make

Was the United States correct in 1945 when it became the first (and only) nation to use atomic weapons against Japan at the end of World War 2? I believe that it was the right thing to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.My position is correct because when Japan bombed the Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7th, 1941 more than 2,300 Americans died. The president didn't have any choice but to bomb both Hiroshima and Nagasaki since those who attacked the Pearl Harbor without warning.

The Great war (also known as World war one) was a very deadly battle between many different nations. World war one was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife. They were killed by men of the serbian Nation. The three underlying causes of world war one are Alliances , Militarism and imperialism.

I believe the revolutionary war was revolutionary the colonists gained new ideas and became violent against the king when he started to take away their rights of englishmen and life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Document one shows that the americans were changing their state of mind by using a statue of the king to make bullets to shoot the british soldiers with. This shows that the colonists were gaining new ideas and were starting to become violent after the olive branch petition failed and were prepared to overthrow the king. Document two states that all men are created equal and given the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, which are our inalienable rights. This supports the position that the revolutionary was

World War I was one of the most brutal battles in the world. World War I fought in Europe between Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany, the U.S, and others. However, the four primary and long term causes that set off this war are militarism, alliance building, imperialism and nationalism. Although these four causes were all significant during the war, the two I believe are the most important are militarism and alliance building.

In the end, no one was singing. World War 1 lasted from 1914 to 1918. It was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria. Eventually, armies all across Europe were fighting and resulted in over 10 million deaths. Three underlying causes of World War 1 were alliances, militarism, and imperialism.

World War II happened because of a multitude of things because of the way they dealt with Germany. The start of the war had many things contributing to it. Because of the faulty League of Nations as well as appeasement in European countries, World War II took a turn for the worst, making it the biggest, most deadly, and most impactful war in history. The League of Nations was one thing that contributed to the start of World War II.

World War I took place in Europe in the early 19th century and was fought by Germany, Italy, Russia, France, Great Britain, and Australia-Hungary. These countries reasons for a war were nationalism, alliances, and militarism. Germany, Italy, Russia, France, Great Britain, and Austria-Hungary were all wanting the same thing, but they were too busy competing with each other to see clearly.

“We shall pay the price, bear any burden, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” (John F Kennedy) Before the Cold War, Russia and the United States fought next to each other in World War II. The U.S even gave them millions of dollars worth of weapons and other support to help defeat the Nazis. But when Joseph Stalin took over, created the Soviet Union and started spreading communism the U.S had to do something about it. During the Cold War the United States and the Soviet Union were pitted against each other, each with hopes on spreading their own but very different governments and requirements, taking extreme measures like containment, the Truman Doctrine, Berlin Blockade, or the Cuban Missile Crisis.

During the Cold War the soviets accomplished many great things. According to Karl Marx societies experienced certain stages ; capitalism, socialism, and finally communism. Capitalism was about private ownership and greed. Both socialism and communism were about equally distribution of wealth and ownership. There wouldn't be any labels such as Rich and/or poor. In 69 years as a country the Soviet Union accomplished many great and cruel things, military strength, the great Terror and cultural achievements. These should all be included in their textbooks to remember this time in history.

By December of 1941, the second World War had been raging across Europe for more than two years and the United States was already, but not officially, involved. Deteriorating conditions in Europe and continual advancement of Nazi victory across nations was certainly cause for global concern, though many Americans were still clinging to anti-war neutrality. However, America had already proved to be less than neutral, aiding Great Britain with weapons and the lend-lease act, clearly siding with the Allied powers. But official involvement without support of public opinion was rather tricky. So you could say that, for many European nations, this tragedy might have been cause for celebration, as it was bringing the battle right to America’s back doorstep, and could no longer be ignored. With an overwhelming public majority opposed to involvement in European conflict, it should have come as no surprise that Roosevelt would use this as an opportunity to rally Americans in a war against Japan, and ultimately Germany and the other Axis powers.

World War I left a sour taste in the mouths of Americans; many felt that the United States had joined for the wrong reasons, and this disillusionment led to a return to isolationism. Americans looked to avoid entanglements in European affairs that could potentially pull them into another world war. Combined with the effects of the Great Depression and the economic troubles that spanned the globe, Americans were determined to avoid foreign affairs and remain neutral when conflict began. However, as dictatorships began to rise globally, the United States found it increasingly difficult to remain neutral and isolationist. Though the United States attempted to remain neutral in world affairs following World War I, the threat to democracy and rise

The American Revolutionary War, beginning in 1775, was a defining moment that changed the history of America indefinitely. The Founding Fathers knew it would be a costly and dangerous decision to declare war on the powerful Great Britain, so they made sure they had a plethora of goals for the war before waging it. Most widely acknowledged, they wanted independence from the British monarchy’s mistreatment; however, the American colonists also wanted visionary rights. These goals led to a government that was shaped by limited power and republican Enlightenment ideals. The main goals of the Revolutionary War were gaining independence from the monarchy and gaining new rights. These motivations led to a new democratic government system based on

The United States was coming out of the most severe economic turmoil of its history at the time World War II began in 1939. The federal government was already in debt to the tune of around 40 billion dollars, more than doubling in since 1930, largely due to federal spending in attempts to ease the economic crisis of the great depression. Americans were in no way ready, willing or financially capable of supporting another war against the Germans. The ideals of the average American at the time, much like during the beginning of World War I, was one of strict neutrality.
