In the peak of immigration, Japanese immigrants never made up more than a tiny percentage of the United States population. However, by the

At the end of the Great War, Canada plunged into economic darkness; the once-powerful war industry was no longer needed and factories shut down all over the country, causing unemployment for civilians and veterans alike to skyrocket. This reflected on the military of Canada; vehicles that were destroyed were not replaced; the number of permanent forces and militia barely grew.

Sticks, underneath a weak platform covered in sticks and leaves, that would give out if stepped on. Once stepped on, the platform would give out and a US soldier would fall into the Punji sticks which would pierce his body. Other traps included land mines that would blow up once stepped on and tripwire grenades that would blow up once a soldier stepped on the wire. Overall these boobytraps accounted for 11% of US casualties in the Vietnam war. Beyond traps, the Vietcong would use other guerilla warfare

When you think of aircraft, most likely you think of jets, helicopters, and maybe UFOs. The history of flight has produced many varied designs because people did not know how to fly and there were numerous ideas on how to make flight work. We are used to seeing jets and helicopters now, but in the beginning, there were a variety of prototypes based on the needs at the time. There has actually been fierce competition during the invention phases of planes. One thing that you will notice is that
