The reason why most African Americans fought in the Civil War was to have the opportunity to fight oppression and end slavery nationally. Black soldiers served in artillery and infantry and performed all noncombat support functions that sustain an army, as well. Black carpenters, chaplains, cooks, guards, laborers, nurses, scouts, spies, steamboat pilots, surgeons, and teamsters also contributed to the war cause.…

    World War II was full of massive battles that led every country involved to almost total destruction. Few moments stand out in American history more than Pearl Harbor. It was, and still is today, one of the most well-known events of World War II, and continues to ignite a strong nationalistic pride for the U.S.’s strong defensive comeback after Pearl Harbor. Though Pearl Harbor is renowned as a military feat, it can be argued that Japan’s victory actually was a counterproductive, strategic disgrace. Carefully examining the preparation and execution of the attack on Pearl Harbor reveals the many flaws within Japan’s military operation.…

    Synopsis The Battle of Midway is well known as the turning point in the Pacific war. However, if not for the Battle of the Coral Sea a month earlier, the three American carriers at Midway would have faced six Japanese carriers of the type that had devastated Pearl Harbor five months prior, instead of only four — and the Battle of Midway might have ended differently.Coral Sea was the world’s first all-carrier battle, and the first sea battle in which neither side could see the other. Both the U.S. and the Japanese navies thought they understood how to fight using carriers. Both discovered they were wrong. At the end of this painful learning experience, the United States had lost the 41,000-ton carrier Lexington, while Japan had lost only the 11,000-ton carrier Shoho.The battle was a…
