At 04:30 on June 4, Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo, commanding the Japanese carriers, launched 108 planes to attack Midway Island, as well as seven scout planes to locate the American fleet.

In reponse, Nagumo ordered his reserve aircraft, which had been armed with torpedoes, to be rearmed with bombs. After this process had commenced, a scout plane from the cruiser Tone reported locating the American fleet.…

It was the beginning of one of the most significant battles on the Pacific Front of World War II. The Battle of the Guadalcanal took place on August 7th of 1942, when the United States Marines landed on the Guadalcanal. The landing at the Guadalcanal was unchallenged and it took Americans six months to defeat the Japanese which turned into a battle of attrition.

And still many argue it was not genocide? How does one build a culture or nation without woman and children? Some may argue that what happened during the war can be seen as mere casualties. Not agreed, mass killings cannot be called casualties. Although the initial intention was to claim the land and not to kill the Herero, killing them was what it finally resulted in.…
The Battle of Midway, fought in June 4-7 1942, only six months after Japan 's attack on Pearl Harbor, and one month after the Battle of the Coral Sea, the United States Navy decisively defeated an Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) attack against Midway Atoll, must be considered one of the most decisive battles of World War II. Fought over and near the tiny U.S. mid-Pacific base at Midway atoll, represents the strategic high water mark of Japan 's Pacific Ocean war. The Battle of Midway was the most decisive single naval battle in US history. After having so little to show for the efforts until the Battle of the Coral Sea, Midway was finally a day with significant results for the US. Four large Japanese carriers were sunk in one day Prior to this action, Japan possessed general naval superiority over the United States and could usually choose where and when to attack. After Midway, the two opposing fleets were essentially equals, and the United States soon took the offensive. Japanese Combined Fleet commander Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto moved on Midway in an effort to draw out and destroy the U.S. Pacific Fleet 's aircraft carrier striking forces, which had embarrassed the Japanese Navy in the mid-April Doolittle Raid on Japan 's home islands and at the Battle of Coral Sea in early May. He planned to quickly knock down Midway 's defenses, follow up with an invasion of the atoll 's two small islands and establish a Japanese air base there. He expected the U.S. carriers to come out and fight, but to arrive too late to save Midway and in insufficient strength to avoid defeat by his own well-tested carrier air power. Yamamoto 's intended surprise was thwarted by superior American communications intelligence, which deduced his scheme well before battle was joined. This allowed Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, the U.S. Pacific Fleet commander, to establish an ambush by having his carriers ready and waiting for the Japanese. On 4 June 1942, in the second of the…
The Battle of Hamel was a major turning point of World War 1. It set the centre stage for future engagements such as Amiens and was the quickest and more efficient battle in the history of the war. The Battle of Hamel took place on 4th July of 1918 and the operation was overseen by John Monash, an Australian general. It was executed by the elite soldiers of the 4th division as well as newly conscripted Americans. The objective was to take the town of Hamel, France for the Allies to straighten the Western Front. The town and the woods adjacent to it were considered of significant strategic important to the success of the later battle of Amiens.…

The Armenian Genocide was one of the most violent historical moments that deprived homelands from 1.5 million Armenians through forced deportations and massacres during 1915 and 1923. As the turmoil between the allies and central powers escalated into WWI, under the guise of military tactics the Turkish government deported and exterminated the Armenian population. ” By the early 1920s, when the massacres and deportations finally ended, between 600,000 and 1.5 million Armenians were dead, with many more forcibly removed from the country.” (Gale). The Armenians were subjected to deportation, abduction, torture and systematic murder.…
From 1915 to 1918, the Turkish leaders of the Ottoman Empire carried out the killings of 1.5 million Armenians living there at the time. Over the course of those terrible 3 years, innocent people were murdered with death marches, execution, drowning, burning and other inhumane ways. Turkey has refused to take blame, and even denied the genocide’s existence and occurrence. There has been much dispute about whether or not countries outside of Armenia and Turkey should recognize these mass killings of Armenians in 1915-16 as a genocide or something else. The Ottoman Empire was multinational, but had always favored Muslims to Jews and Christians, so when World War I started and a substantial group of Christian Armenians were still in Turkey and…

The Armenian Genocide is also known as the Armenian Holocaust, The Armenian Massacres, and traditionally by Armenians, as Medz Yeghern.

The Armenian Genocide is acknowledged to have been one of the first modern genocides. The Armenian Genocide was one of the most compelling human rights crises of World War I, helping to inspire Adolf Hitler three decades later to carry out the atrocities of World War II. The Armenian Genocide was a rough time back then. Hitler was killing many people during this time . Hitler was mainly killing jews and most families back then…
