1. I think that if I had started studying for the midterm earlier, rather than a week before it, I might have done better. I could probably improve more on the presidents and their positions on various subjects.

I could probably improve more on the presidents and their positions on various subjects. Rereading the lecutres might have helped as well, rather than just focusing on the terms.

7.    The cartoon shows Teddy Roosevelt, tall, and with wings and a robe, depicting him as strong and angelic. He is grabbing insignificant and silly looking Russia and Japan by the ears. It is depicting the Treaty of Portsmouth which Teddy Roosevelt mediated to end the Russo-Japanese War. The cartoonist was probably Republican, portraying Roosevelt in a very positive light. He probably thought that President Roosevelt's was a diligent and patient mediator in the conflict.

H1. The introduction of chemical agents in World War I affected tactics and almost changed the outcome of World War I. The overwhelming success of the first use of gas caught both sides by surprise. Fortunately, the Allies managed to develop a suitable defense to German gas attacks and eventually to field a considerable offensive chemical capability. The three main chemicals used in the war were mustard gas, chlorine gas, and phosgene. Phosgene, also known as carbon chloride was deadly in very small amounts.  It was a choking agent with an objectionable smell when in high concentration. When inhaled it would cause the lungs to fill with water. Chlorine gas was a greenish-yellow substance with an irritating odor. It would destroy the cells that line the respiratory tract. Another is mustard gas, named for its mustardy smell. Mustard gas was more stable than chlorine gas or phosgene, so it was more commonly used. It was a blistering agent, causing damage to any surface it came in contact with. However, using chemical warfare often backfired if a wind cared the chemical gases back to the army who was releasing it.
