The Spy

"Be brave take risks. Nothing can substitute experience." -Paulo Coelho. In the Spy, Harvey had to chase whether he was going to be brave and become a spy. Everyone agrees that Harvey was a spy, but some say it was too dangerous, while others believe it was a brave and noble act.

    To begin with, every time the British came across an American ship, they would attack it, and then take any sailors who had once before served for the British and make them fight for them again. This continuously happened as the American’s couldn’t do anything against it. This…

    Despite all the lives lost and all the effort Germany was unable to crush Great Britain’s morale. In 1941, the United States started giving support to the British army in the form of weapons and ammunition through the Lend-Lease Act. After the horror of Pearl Harbor, America was directly involved in aiding Great Britain any way they could. In early 1942 Churchill and Roosevelt established a “Combined Chiefs of Staff” and agreed that the defeat of Germany was the first priority. (Winning the war against Germany was more important than the war in the pacific against Japan.)…

    There were reasons to support the theory stating that America did not win the war but the reasons supporting America winning completely outweighed the other. It is said that America did not gain anything from the war, but this is not true. Because they fought the war America was able to get rid of the embargo. America was also able to get Florida from Spain. It is also said that Americans were unprepared for defense or offense in the war. This could not possibly be true, except for Essex America had bigger and better guns than Britain. The decision to go to war had not been unanimous but you can’t always please everybody.…

    In the previous 100 years, the British had enjoyed victory after victory in all the wars they had been engaged in. Their superiority was confirmed after defeating great nations like France and Spain which made its military the best in the world. The British had the urge to spread their dominance and so they extended their rule to the American ground. The Americans were on the losing end from the first time the war was declared, but an alliance with France strengthened its position and having the advantage of the war being fought in their backyard, they were able to defeat the British in a costly war for both nations.…

    After my reading of Robert Ferrell’s America’s Deadliest Battle, I was capable of grasping an understanding of the American Expeditionary Force’s preparation for their battle against Germany in 1918, in addition to assessing the quality of some of the officers and men within the AEF, and some of the actions that displayed the weaknesses and strengths of the AEF as well. Additionally, I will be touching basis on other measures that gave the battle at the Meuse-Argonne its name as “America’s deadliest battle,” and discussing my overall opinion on America’s fighting ability in World War I.…

    Britain had many flaws in the fight because they used 3-way campaigns which gave them a disadvantage. If they attacked in one force, then the British would’ve won the war, but that was not the case. America now was known for the fight and now is a superstar. America now goes allies, which helped them a lot in the future. British lost the war, which made them suffer a lot and they had to make a treaty with the Americans. This gave the Americans independence and freedom. The turning point of America affected the American Revolution on this day on. If we haven’t had won this war, then Britain would have remained a strong military force while we would’ve been a weak military force. We wouldn’t have grown like we have right now. We wouldn’t have allies that have our back and we wouldn’t have much money. America is now known as one of the strongest military instead of Britain. America is a great country and we fought to be that great country. America is lovely and the…

    The impact of America’s navy into the war had a sudden and prodigious effect. The effective cooperation between Britain and American navy staff delivered new and improved tactics and strategy. The most important of these was the convoy system. The allies had not adapted a convey system to protect their supply boats. Morison believed that “Sims found to his surprise, that the allies had not yet adopted the convey system… to be protected from submarines”. The American’s instigated this system and it brought great results and enabled American troops to safely cross. After great success the US Navy also planned and executed a mine barrage across the North Sea, which blocked the exit to enemy submarines. Without the American navy it is probable that the allies would have been defeated before their ground troops even arrived.…
