India go Nuclear Should India Go Nuclear for Energy Solution [pic] Nuclear power plants perhaps can provide solutions to India’s horrible power shortages and outages too. With the US assistance envisaged in recent Indo-US joint statement India plans to take its nuclear power generation capability closer to the goal of 20‚000 MW by 2020. The high cost of nuclear power may be one deterrent for its choice or preference. In 80s and 90s many nuclear power projects even in US got cancelled or deferred

Should all nuclear weapons be destroyed? Today countries all over the world put a significant amount of their budget towards defense and the security along the lines of their borders. Governments all around the world have put great stress on the fact of continuously developing nuclear weapons; this is to help establish their strength over other weaker countries with none or little nuclear power. The first thing that comes to my mind when nuclear weapons are brought into conversation is the Hiroshima-Nagasaki

the South could have won the Civil War with a few adjustments. Notice how the South’s largest production is cotton‚ compared to the North. The North had a balance of different types of production‚ which enabled the soldiers to be easily equipped with materials and accumulate wealth. One of the major reasons why the South lost was that it spent more on cotton production instead of increasing the other types of production. If it spent more on the different types‚ it could have won. The South depended

1865 Grant continued the siege of Petersburg. Lee and his troops defended the town‚ but sickness‚ casualties and desertion weakened them. Finally the Confederate line broke and Lee withdrew from defending the town. From the beginning of the horrible war‚ the Union’s goal was to capture the Confederate capital in Richmond.

The South won the Civil War. History says that the North won but in my opinion that is not true. The North won the fighting but what were they fighting for? They were fighting to end slavery. They did not achieve this goal. Yes‚ slavery was legally abolished but it started right back up again in other forms. First there was sharecropping. Than Confederate soldiers took office. That only made matters worse. Then after they took office they managed to pass Jim Crow laws and Black Codes. The South definitely

In the war‚ Ernest was an ambulance driver. If the South had won the American Civil War‚ all Northern innovations would have been repressed and shut down. One important system of the North was the transportation of the injured on trains and eventually in large vehicles. If this system was restrained‚ it would not have been so widespread and it would not have traveled to other countries or they would have developed the system much later.

I was under the understanding that the civil war was simply a war over slavery. Over time I have come to realize there is much more behind the North and South’s reasons for fighting than just the concept of slavery.

James M. McPherson‚ What They Fought For‚ 1861-1865 (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Publisher‚ 1994; reprint‚ Logan: Perfection Learning Corporation‚ 2013). First thing’s first‚ anyone who encounters this wonderfully constructed book‚ What They Fought For‚ by James M. McPherson‚ must acknowledge his great work. McPherson is one of the few historians worth reading; this is coming from a Kinesiology major who wants little to nothing to do with historians. I strongly believe that

Nuclear weapons in the Cold War changed how wars were fought because it was the beginning of an era where wars were no longer fought in the conventional sense. The creation of nuclear weapons meant that people lived in a constant state of fear of nuclear war. In order to ensure national security and protection states‚ primarily the United States and Russia the leading superpowers in the Cold War‚ needed to have a strong deterrence policy to prevent the other state from launching a nuclear attack
