Homework Assignment 12

1. World War II began in the year 1931 when Japan started its invasion at Manchuria, China. Japan wanted to expand its economy and power, and they thought the best way to do that was to conquer and expand their lands. World War II was mostly fought on European soil. There were two sides: the allies and the axis. The Allies side consisted of the United States (which did not join the war till the attack on Pearl Harbor), Great Britain, and the U.S.S.R. The Axis powers consisted of Germany, Japan, and Italy.

2. Fascism is the political philosophy that elevates the nation and its ethnicity above the individual, and uses a dictator to impose economic and social regimentation and control. Communism is a socioeconomic structure and political ideology that promotes the establishment of egalitarian, classless, stateless society based on common ownership and control of the means of production and property in general. Both fascism and communism are similar in the sense the both have one central power, usually a dictator, and everyone had to do as they were told. They both are opposite in the sense in fascism your country comes first and not everyone is equal. In communism everyone is equal and on the same level, communists hated wealth.

3. I believe Hitler and his supports killed many people because Hitler could did not want enemies. Anyone who defied him and his system should die. He was trying to change Germany almost into another Sparta.

4. When communism spread to nationalism China, the Chinese nationalists were fighting World War II. A Civil war started in China that was between the Communists and the nationalists. Under the communistic rule, property was seized and distributed to the peasants. Peasants were forced to work on collectives farms, and women were treated like. Soon people began to work less and less because there was no private property as an incentive. Because of that a famine resulted which killed about 30 million Chinese people.

5. The Cold War began almost as soon as World War II ended. It started because of the Atomic Bomb. The U.S.S.R. had a scheduled date to start an invasion on Japan on approximately August 6, 1945. The United States asked the U.S.S.R. to postpone that date till August 15, 1945, and the U.S.S.R. agreed. Little did the U.S.S.R. know that the United States had developed an atomic weapon and as soon as the United States dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the U.S.S.R. realized they had been deceived. Three days later on August 9, 1945, the U.S.S.R. started their invasion on Japan, but it was too late, Japan had already surrendered to the United States. Fearing for their lives, the U.S.S.R. started to build up a nuclear arsenal. The United States also built up their nuclear arsenal. None of the nuclear weapons that were produced were used on each other. Each side knew what a nuclear weapon could do to humanity because of the two atomic bombs that had been dropped on Japan. Another reason neither side launched their nuclear missiles against each other was because of a theory called Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). This theory stated that if the U.S.S.R., or the United States, launched their missiles at the other side, the other side would realize they were going to die and so they would launch all of their missiles. All of the missiles would and approximately the same time killing just about everyone on each side.

6. Technological advances helped the allied forces because it gave they better weapons and armor then the enemy. The Allies also developed radar which allowed them to know the positions of enemy ships, tanks, and planes.

7. The United States did the right thing entering World War II. First, it was in a depression, known as the Great Depression, and a war provided a great way out of it. Second, the Japanese, who was part of the Axis alliance, attacked us first. The United States did what anyone else would have done, attack back.

1. The Great War was a very terrible war. Today we know it as World War I. It was called the Great War because millions of men died. It was also a war without much strategy. There were two allied side. The Central Powers were Austria, Germany, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire. On the other side were Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Japan, and the United States.

2. The Triple Entente won World War I. In the end a peace treaty was signed, but it was a very ineffective peace treaty. It effectively started World War II.

3. Verdun was struggle that basically accomplished nothing. It just took the lives of many men. The Germans were attacked Verdun, France. 220,000 soldiers died and double that number was wounded. This battle took about 10 months to finish.

4. In 1917 a Communist Revolution started in Russia. This revolution occurred because Russia was weakened and needed a change in how it was run.

5. One aspect during the “Science and Art in the Early 20th Century” is the Big Bang Theory. The Big issue with this was whether the universe had an origin or initial moment. I do not believe in the Big Bang theory.

6. A European colony in the 20th century was New Zealand. Great Britain had New Zealand involved in a operation during World War I. The operation turned out to be a failure, and New Zealand lost a lot of men. After that failure, New Zealand wanted to leave the control of Britain.

7. The economic problems today are similar in ways and different in other ways to the Great Depression. Today some people are still spending money. In the Great Depression Almost nobody would spend money unless they had to. Government was not becoming bigger during the Great Depression like it is today.

1. Do not cram

2. England lost all decency within its great country. It was organized chaos. America gained more citizens by it because people in England got fed up with everything that was going on.

3. The French Revolution: all bad, or was there something good about it?
The French Revolution freed the people. It started out with a just cause and ended in destruction. It turned into a mob.

4. The American Revolution is the most popular revolution. A weaker child country took on the mother country and defeated it. It started because the king of England increased the taxes of the American’s to pay for England’s debts.

5. People were either to scared or they were satisfied with their current position. Plus a revolution is started when everybody with the same goal gather together. In order to achieve that, a leader needs to bring the people together. Everybody in a single country could want to overthrow the government, but unless someone brings them together they might not even know that there are other people who want to overthrow the government.

The Aztecs had their calendars and entertainment, but they were more warlike. They lived in Mexico. Like the Egyptians, they constructed magnificent pyramids and temples. The Incas lived in the Andes Mountains. They had great roads, messengers, and soldiers.

1. Constantine was my favorite Roman emperor. He ruled the country under God’s law. He was not afraid to take a stand for what he believed was right.

2. The Roman Republic was formed in 509 B.C. It was a government of the people. The people voted in the members of the senate to vote upon law and decisions. The Roman Empire started in 83 B.C. It basically took away the power from the senate and gave it to one man, the Caesar.

3. The Byzantine Empire had more religion then the Roman Empire. They Byzantine Empire was also better equipped militarily and economically.

4. Since Latin was a language that required less words to be spoken to mean something, there was probably a lot less talking going on in general in Rome. More people were probably quite, and seldom spoke. People who speak English have become used to saying many words to make someone understand something. I would not learn a whole new language just to say more things in less words.

5. The Pax Romana was the greatest time in the Roman Empire(27 B.C. to A.D. 180). In English, Pax Romana means Roman peace. During this period, the Romans ended their civil war.

6. In the Roman empire, the leaders started to want to get into power for their self interests. This is happening today in America. Especially with Senators and Congressmen, they will say stuff to get elected and then rule for their self interests. There is one big difference though between the Roman Empire and the United States. The Roman Empire conquered other lands and ruled them, while the United States does not conquer other lands, unless attacked, but tries to defend a good number of them.

7. Up to this point in world history, God had been paving the way for the birth of Christ. The Greeks established a common language throughout the world. The Romans build great roads to make traveling easier.

1. My favorite time in American history is World War II. I love the strategy in all battles. It was a war in which America really developed militarily.

2. Ronald Reagan was a conservative, was for low spending, and did what was right for the country. Bill Clinton was a Democrat, liar, and did what he wanted to do or what the people thought they needed.

3. I think the most important trend that is guiding America is its economy. It keeps going way up and way down.

4. The most important threat to America today is Islam. When Solomon started marrying foreign wives, they changed his faith. This started the fall of Israel.

5. When the culture in a country is high, then the success of that country is high. When America had a great economy, then the success of the country went well. But when the depression hit, the success of America decreased.

6. Two of the greatest achievements of Ronal Reagan were the Star Wars program, which designed missiles that could shoot down other, bigger missiles, and passing the biggest tax bill in American history.

7. I think this map was drawn during the 16th or 17th century. I do not think America has met the expectations of this map maker.
8. H2 Why do black American’s vote for liberal candidates?
Most of the black American population votes for liberal candidates because they are usually on the poorer side in America. Liberal candidates are more communistic and establish more programs to help the poor out. Unfortunately, the poorer people in America take way to much advantage of the government programs that are set up to help them.

9. H4. I am against the US government spying on its own citizens. If the government is using this spy technology to find a criminal or someone who would be considered “hot”, then I am okay with the program. But when the government starts listening in on every phone conversation to see if any of us might be a potential terrorists or something, than I believe that is wrong.

10. H1. I predict that within the first two years of the Obama administration, the United States economy will collapse and we will be headed into a full scale war.

4. I like that the economy was and business was good best during the Roaring Twenties.

5. I am not a big fan about the new deal. I am not one for the government taking over more things. Too much government power is not good. I would not have set up so many government run programs to satisfy the public. If those things needed to be satisfied, someone would have thought about it.

6. I believe we were right to drop the atomic bomb on Japan. Japan asked for a war, and that’s what they got. If we did not drop the atomic bomb, then many American soldiers would have died.

Whatever the people want in a president that is what the democratic candidate says he will do. When he becomes president, he not really a leader or a follower. He does whatever he pleases to do. The presidency has become bigger than it should.

9. H2. FDR should have only let the Japanese bomb one or two ships. If he really knew about the bombing, he should have had a secret attack force to attack the Japanese so America would not have lost all of the men and ships.

American History

Homework Assignment 10

1. For better preparation for the midterm exam, I could have read through the model answers more, and have gone over the lectures. The part of American History that I could improve most on for next time is all of the written documents.

2. My favorite question on the midterm, that I missed, is #4: A student was overheard saying the following: “The Puritans, like the Quakers, believed in religious freedom for all.” What should the teacher say to the student? I like the question because the answer is just one that seems like an odd answer.

3. I like how the two lawyers cross-examined each other.

4. I think the United States did the right thing in entering World War I. We had been attacked. We had to teach the German’s a good lesson.

5. Teddy Roosevelt had a great foreign policy, “speak softly and carry a big stick.” I do not support his action to breaking up the big monopolies. Instead of breaking them up, he should have given money to new businesses so they could compete.

6. The 16th amendment:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census of enumeration.
Congress was wrong to make this amendment. It just gives the government more power.

7. In the cartoon Franklin Roosevelt is grabbing Russia and Japan by the ears. Roosevelt invited Japan and Russia to a meeting to end the war between them. They created the Treaty of Portsmouth.

8. H2 If the limitations of free speech during a war are absolutely necessary for the well fare of a country, than I could agree with what the government did during World War I. If the government just did it because they did not want to here the peoples complaints, then I am totally against it. I am totally against what the government did during World War I. They basically did not want to here the complaints.

9. H3 Government should not be able to interfere with free enterprise by establishing maximum working hours for men. If a man wants to work every hour of his life, then he should have the right to do that. As long as the business that the man is working for allows him to work that long, than there should be nothing wrong with it. The government has no right to interfere.

10. H4 Some of the questions of the midterm exam were challenging. Others needed careful reading. The “which article did this quote come from” questions were not easy at all. I was disappointed because the midterm did not cover any of the wars. About 5 wars were fought, and nothing was on the test about them. I learned that I need to prepare myself better for the final exam. I do not know every answer just from reading the lectures once.

6. I do not think that newspapers played a huge role in the 2008 presidential election as compared to the election in 1890. The internet and the television are the big thing now. Newspapers are not as popular.

3. My favorite military figure from the Civil War was General Grant. He knew how to use every advantage he could get, and he won the war.

4. I would have rebuilt the South, brought the states back into the Union, and get the South back into the Legislative Branch.

5. Since Lincoln was homeschooled he probably had better control over himself then someone from a public school.

6. I think someone who was in support of McClellan made the cartoon. The cartoon shows Lincoln running away from the White House and McClellan walking in.

7. The Cartoon is showing Columbia protecting the Chinese immigrants from the anti-Chinese-immigrant crowd. Should the Chinese stay or go.

8. H1. I prefer inflation to deflation. In deflation is the rising of prices, but he economy is not crashing. When deflation happens, the economy crashes. Inflation is encouraged more by a “hard money” standard because the value of the dollar decreases.

9. Mystery: Did George McClellan scorn Abraham Lincoln because he was homeschooled?
George McClellan probably would not scorn Abraham Lincoln because he was homeschooled. Homeschooling was pretty common back then. He probably scorned Lincoln because Lincoln did not have as great an education as he had. McClellan graduated West Point in the top five of his class. He probably thought he was a better man and knew more than Lincoln ever could.

10. H3. Abraham Lincoln was a great man. He was very intelligent. When he became president, he knew what had to be done in order to preserve the Union, and he took the right actions. Not every president would have declared war on its own country.

George McClellan probably would not scorn Abraham Lincoln because he was homeschooled. Homeschooling was pretty common back then.

He probably thought he was a better man and knew more than Lincoln ever could.

10. H3. Abraham Lincoln was a great man. He was very intelligent. When he became president, he knew what had to be done in order to preserve the Union, and he took the right actions. Not every president would have declared war on its own country.

Homework Assignment 3

1. Two weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation are the National government could not enforce any of the law that it made, and the government could not place taxes.

2. The first three Articles of the Constitution are Articles I: the Legislatives Branch. Article II: Executive Branch. Article III: the Judicial Branch. Congress is established in article I. the president is established in article II.

3. I like George Washington’s great leadership abilities the most.

4. The most important invention of the 1790’s was the cotton gin. It allowed to South to produce 50 times the amount of cotton. It gave the south the name, “King Cotton”.

5. The cartoonist was most likely a Federalist. Only five colonies are represented standing up in the cartoon. Massachusetts appears to be falling over. Massachusetts went along with the constitution, but then decided to break away from it.

6. Two significant achievements of The Northwest Ordinance were it established a three-stage process based on population for the new states to be created and join the Confederation, and it was the first to protect territories against the taking of property by government without just compensation.

7. John Adam’s presidency was a complete failure. It just kept becoming worse. The thing that stands out the most though is that he made a law that it was a crime to criticize him. He made a law against the constitution that had just been written.

8. H2. I believe that the Anti-Federalists had some good points. They did not want to establish a new government after they had just gotten rid of the old one.

9. H4. In Shays’ Rebellion, Shay and his gang kept on attacking and capture until they were forced to run from the overpowering militia. In the Whiskey Rebellion, started attacking everything. George Washington told the governor to put the rebellion down, but was too afraid to do so. George Washington then brought an army down, and before a shot was fired all the rebels fled. I believe it is necessary to have a good, strong president.

10. H5. Jefferson and Madison responded to the Alien and Sedition Acts by drafting strong state resolutions, to “nullify” them as unconstitutional. I would agree with them in their approach because the Alien and Sedition Acts were unconstitutional.

1. Spanish, English, and French
2. I find his search for adventure most inspiring.
3. Several early settlements in America failed because they the people in those settlements were not used to America’s weather, the land, and the Indians.
4. The motivation for the first settlements in Massachusetts’s area was religious freedom. The Pilgrims wanted to separate from the Church of England completely. The Puritans just wanted to purify the Church of England without leaving it.
5. William Penn was remarkable, because he was the first person to start a colony that offered freedom to all religions.
6. The four types of colonies were Joint-stock colony’s (Virginia and Massachusetts Bay), charter colony’s (Connecticut and Rhode Island), proprietary colony’s (Pennsylvania and New York), and royal colony’s (Georgia).
7. The Puritans were not right to be strict and to expel people of other religions. Everyone is welcomed to his or her own religion. However, the Puritans did have the right to be strict and to expel people of other religions.
8. H1. A colony based on a particular religion or religious ideal might encounter areas where they are not welcomed. It is possible that they could survive without the help of other settlements, just like the Pilgrims. The Pilgrims were on their own for the first winter when they arrived in Massachusetts. The King of England was not willing to help them out because he hated them for their religious views.
9. H2. The Massachusetts Bay Company obtained a royal charter and sent a group of Puritans to settle in New England. They hoped to purify the Church of England with a more perfect community than in England itself. It was financed and led by John Winthrop.
10. H3. What happened to the Roanoke Colony?
The settlers in the Roanoke Colony had been dropped off with the promise that England would return with more people in one year. A lot of things can happen in one year. Not being used to the country and the ways of survival in America, the colonists probably ran low on supplies. Indian attacks would have instilled fear into the colonists, so that they would not attempt to go and collect food. Growing weaker and weaker, the colonists then either surrendered to the Indians or were killed by them.

RMS Lusitania

2007-01-04T23:40:08Z

NathanaelH:

In 1915, still relatively early in World War I, a German [[U-boat]] sunk a massive British passenger liner known as the Lusitania. This one sinking killed 1,198 people, including 128 U.S. citizens. A member of the prominent Vanderbilt family, known for its railroad empire, was among the fatalities. The overall number of casualties was only a few hundred less than those who died on the Titanic when it hit an iceberg in 1912.

On April 30th, 1915, the Lusitania was being loaded in New York with supplies, and was secretly being loaded with ammunition. Over on the other side of the world, in Germany, on the same day, Kapitänleutnant Walter Schwieger was ordered to take his U-boat-20 German submarine to take patrol of part of the Atlantic. The Lusitania started its trip across the Atlantic to Great Britain on May 1st, 1915, carrying 1257 passengers and 702 crew members under the command of Captain William Turner. On May 7th, the Lusitania and the German Submarine entered the Irish Channel. The Submarine had been sinking other ships before the Lusitania.

Running low on fuel Kapitänleutnant Walter Schwieger decided to turn back. On his way back he ran into several ships, and sunk them. When he met up with the Lusitania, he surfaced and fired one torpedo. The torpedo was noticed, but nothing was able to be done about it. Right after it hit, it triggered something in the ship that exploded. The life boats were not able to be used because the boat was tilted, and half of the life boats were under the boat, while the other half was out of the water. A distress signal was sent out and pick up by Queenstown.

Queenstown sent out several boats to see what they could do. They arrived at the seen two hours after the sinking. They were, however, able to rescue 761 people from the wreckage. The total number of deaths was 1,198.
