The Vietnam War was a war that changed America forever. It was a long, costly war between Communist North Vietnam, with the aid of the Viet Cong, and Capitalist South Vietnam, aided by the United States. It was a controversial war at the time, but today, it remains embedded in America's history as a war to be remembered. The reasons for the Vietnam War took place long before the war even began. For years, the Vietnamese had been under French colonial rule. But, when Communist revolutionary Ho
Black Status: Post Civil War America After the emancipation of slaves in 1862, the status of African-Americans in post civil war America up until the beginning of the twentieth century did not go through a great deal of change. Much legislation was passed to help blacks in this period. The Civil Rights act of 1875 prohibited segregation in public facilities and various government amendments gave African-Americans even more guaranteed rights. Even with this government legislation, the newly dubbed
The Cold War was caused by the worries about Soviet aims and accomplishments in Eastern Europe. The Soviet Union progressively fought for power against the United States. Pressures were discriminating for the Soviets and the West regarding financial departure as well as the danger of nuclear-powered war. Stalin didn’t keep the promises he had made with the Western Allies about holding free elections after the war in countries occupied by the Soviet Army (Shubert, & Goldstein, 2012). The outcome of
The US War on Drugs in Latin America Introduction The United States has a long history of intervention in the affairs of one it’s southern neighbor, Latin America.

War. It is the single greatest catastrophe the can befall humanity; it is an evil that leaves destruction, bloodshed, broken economies, and broken spirits in its wake.

How were national and personal identities formed during the 18th and 19th centuries? In Fred Anderson’s monograph, The War that Made America, he writes about the course of the French and Indian War, and how it shaped the colonists’ views about England. As the war progressed, the colonists began to realize what it meant to be British, and they also began to distance themselves from the British. Colonists began to create their own identity when they disagreed with British policies, and this conflict
There is a fine line between what American society looked like during World War II and contemporary America. The dilemma is that society has gone from patriotism and a fight for liberty to “everyone walking around with a chip on his or her shoulder” (Carr 2). This two distinct differences on America culture and society is manifested in, Howie Carr’s “Take $2000 and Call Me in the Morning” and Ronald Reagan’s speech, “The Boys of Point du Hoc”. Carr’s “Take $2000 and Call Me in the Morning” illustrates
The Vietnam War was a controversial time for the United States. We were a divided country, especially at the beginning. The Truman Doctrine and containment were the two largest reasons America decided to go to vietnam. We wanted to help other countries and to stop the spread of communism.

The Vietnam war was the first

The animosity between the Soviet Union and the U.S. caused American people to be afraid of communism being spread and nuclear war. American people feared that the Soviet Union would spread communism across the globe and affect the United States as well. U.S. citizens were also afraid of the arms race that occurred during the Cold War. President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s
brilliantly illustrates the historical facts of American government propagating violence. Scrutinizing the Philippine War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Iraq War the reader discovers an eerily Orwellian government manipulating her citizens instead of educating them. Brewer states, a "propaganda campaign seeks to disguise a paradoxical message: war is not a time for citizens to have an informed debate and make up their own minds even as they fight in the name of
The Vietnam war was a brutal time for Americans. They needed to try their best to stop Vietnam into becoming, a communist country. But 1970’s were very brutal it is when America actually decided they wanted out. So, Richard Nixon, the president at the time, got them out. But was this really a good idea?
