History of submarines

Section 1: Identification and Evaluation of Sources This investigation will answer the question “To what extent did the use of unrestricted submarine warfare draw the United States closer to declaring war against Germany and the Central Powers?” Due to the specificity, this examination is limited in scope to the outbreak of war in Europe leading up to United States declaring war against the Central Powers, specifically 1914-1917.

World War II World War II was one of the most horrific and catastrophic conflict periods in the history of humankind. Although much of World War II is remembered as being that and having negative outcomes, it definitely had some positive ones too. One of them and the most important of all of them was the encounter with new modern advanced technology, warfare, and strategies. This new advanced technology would affect the type of warfare that was fought, which lead to the triumph of one side over the

in fact that's when the flamethrower was invented. WWI and WWII have their fair share of similarities, such as the use of submarines. These similarities are also there differences, such as both wars using subs but WWII more heavily using them and making more advancements. The time period in between WWI and WWII was one of the most technologically advancing times in world history. In WWI, planes were works in progress causing many deaths, but in WWII those weapons were worked on and made much more reliable

surprise and a shock to many around the country. The Japanese finally pushed the United States to their breaking point, after bombing Pearl Harbor the American people were not happy and agreed to declare war. Japan and The United States have had a history of tension up until the year of 1941. At

Hitler’s navy was given few resources and the production its most important weapon, the U-boat (submarine), was neglected. America officially joined the war after Japan’s devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. With the giant of the west entering the fight against Germany, the German’s

On Korea Throughout most of its history, Korea has existed as one country with a rich culture and history. Then in the 1940's, Korea was controlled by Japan. World War II broke out, and the Allies defeated the Axis powers. The country of Korea was divided into two parts -- the north and the south. The north was occupied by communist Russian forces and the south by American troops. The dividing line was the 38th parallel(see map). In 1950, a civil war began between the two Koreas, further

They chose to use submarines to try to sink war ships. The Japanese submarine I-58 sunk the Indianapolis on July 29th. This is the first ship the Japanese have sunk by a submarine. The crew of the Indianapolis were in the ocean for four days before the Cecil J. Doyle rescued the survivors. The survivors tell stories about how many of their friends were eaten by sharks. The caption of the Indianapolis, Charles McVay, did not have his radar on, nor zigzagged to avoid submarine missiles. McVay was

into World War I, still remains controversial. Many reasons are thought to be factored into the United States’ decision for entry into the war, such as the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, the Zimmerman Telegram, and the prohibition of unrestricted submarine warfare. There are many reasons why the U.S entered the war however these are the most significant ones, as they had the most impact on the United States decision of entry into World War I. One of the factors that led to the United States’ entry

of disparate forces, timing was everything. Even the briefest delay could shape history.” (117) The reasons why the ship was so late to start its destination were because of the transferring of the passengers from Cameronia to the Lusitania and Captain Turner’s niece visiting the ship. If this had not happened, the Lusitania would have been closer to its destination and would never have encountered the U-20 submarine. Room 40 also played a huge part of the ship’s sinking. “The Admiralty’s telegraphic

realistic nature of the plot. A plot like this wouldn’t work in a different time period but with it being set during the Cold War, it makes sense, however, the nature of the characters is one that would make one question it. When we look back at history and the cold war, we see that in that time period, there was a lot of patriotism on both sides and how very close we were to nuclear war. In this case, I find it a bit weird that Marko Ramius wanted to go to the United States. Maybe he was against
