“I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I've done wearing it.

In the fall of 1944, World War is nearly coming to an end in Europe, but still rages in the Pacific theatre. American soldiers are going up against an opposition that will not stop at nothing until

in Havana port on February 15, 1898.The American entered into this war because neither of the quest for freedom nor internal conflicts, but because it wanted to expand its territories and the need to spread American control in the Caribbean and Philippines. One of the reasons that forced the U.S to enter into this war was Yellow Journalism. According to (Mosse 167) William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, who were journalists and covered the atrocities that the Spanish people were doing to the

Imperialism's Benefits Brodie Talbot “Do the benefits of imperialism outweigh the costs?” Yes. Imperialism is the best for the country. The main reasons that the power of imperialism is important for the United States is because of the land and resources that each place has, money, and the language and government. “The policy of extending the rule or authority of an empire or nation over foreign countries.” (Dictionary Collins, English 2016) this definition of imperialism describes why it was crucial

The concept that all oppressions are inherently linked underlies the theory of intersectionality that implies interactions of multiple systems of oppression, discrimination, and exclusion.

In their own way, each author points out that we must

The fact that crimes, drugs, and criminals have increased in America, is part of the reason why I am afraid to live in Sacramento.

Many individuals get away with their actions because either are financially privileged, or have plenty of connections in the law enforcement. Those who are defined as middle class or poor do not have the ability

Aspects of Inadequacies throughout World War II The state of America’s military forces at the outset of World War II can be summed up in one word: unprepared. Certainly that is the case witnessed on many levels at the attack at Pearl Harbor. Sailors rested on Sunday morning, unprepared for the sneak attack; commanders were off ship, enjoying golf or a leisurely breakfast, completely caught off-guard when the bombs fell; and the fleet itself was unprepared, with most of its ships at anchor in the
