    In the essay “Foot Soldiers of the Revolutionary Army” by Gary B. Nash, the authors of the book tell of a Private Joseph Plumb Martin that kept a diary that details the life and hardships that the soldiers endured.

    The Battle of the Bulge, also known as the Battle of Ardennes, was a major battle fought in northern France during World War II that took place in the Ardennes Forest of Belgium which is a mountainous region of dense forest. The Battle of Ardennes was given the nickname of the Battle of the Bulge because, as the German troops pushed back the center of the Allied forces' line, it created a deadly "bulge" pushing into Allied defenses. On the Allied side, most of the troops were American, which is why it is considered one of the greatest battles ever fought by the United States military. In fact, Prime Minister of Britain, Winston Churchill, said "This is undoubtedly the greatest American battle of World War II.”…

    The Red King's Rebellion fought more than three hundred years ago between the Algonquian peoples and New England settlers was in per-capita terms the bloodiest war in our nation's history. Before the conflict ended, over 9,000 people were dead (two-thirds of them Native Americans), and homelessness, starvation, and economic hardship plagued the descendants of both races for generations to come. In this fascinating book, Russell Bourne examines the epic struggle from both sides, seeking to explain how the biracial harmony that once reigned--when the Plymouth Colony's neighboring Wampanoag’s, under the stately Massasoit (King…

    In 700 BCE the Rome was founded. The city of Rome became the center of one of the world’s greatest empires. As years went on, the Roman Empire began to decline. There were many events that led to this decline. The primary reasons for the “fall” of Rome were natural disasters, economic troubles, and a series of military failures. The natural disasters that struck Rome were the plague and an earthquake. The earthquake was the first to strike Rome in 336 CE (Doc F). This caused the Mediterranean shores to become dry due to the retreat of the sea. The tide soon returned and resulted in an immense flood in which fifty thousand people lost their lives. Following the earthquake tragedy, a series of plagues arrived in Rome. It brought diseases from southern Asia to areas such as the Mediterranean (Doc F). These diseases demolished the Roman population. The population decreased from a million people to 250,000 people (Doc F).The economic issues that surrounded Rome resulted from the plagues. The difficulty of troop recruitment forced the empire to hire Germanic soldiers to guard its frontiers (Doc F). The need to pay troops added to the demand on the state’s budget. This was during the time in which the declining production cut into tax revenues (Doc F).The most important reason for the fall of Rome were the series of military failures. In 410 CE, Rome was sacked by the invading German tribe called the Visigoths. In 455 CE, Rome was sacked by Vandals-another German tribe. Finally, Rome falls to Goths which was also a German tribe. These losses were due to lack of armor. The customary armor seemed to be heavy since the soldiers rarely ever wore it so they fought the Goths without any protection (Doc B). Overall, there were many events that led to the potential fall of the Roman Empire.…

    In the book, War without Mercy, Race and Power in the Pacific War, by John W. Dower and Published by Pantheon Books in 1986, the author powerfully illustrates the extreme racial tensions of Japan and the United States and how they affected policies in both countries. During World War II, the altercations between Japan and the United States were often overlooked, since Germany was taking all of the attention away from the world. But, as described by Dower, the ugly racial battles between Japan and the United States obviously point out that there was more friction between the two countries than most people believe. Another overlooked aspect of World War II is that racism was actually a major component of the war, not just a partial element of the War. Dower demonstrates that racism was a huge underlying factor that affected how people viewed the war as well as the war itself and that racism is highly neglected as a subject of World War II. Lastly, Dower argues how the racial stereotypes that fueled Pacific conflict did not disappear, but rather adapted to peacetime. Throughout the book Dower argues three major components of World War II; that the United States had more racist aggression against the Japanese over the Germans, that Racism was a huge influence during World War II, and that racism between that United States and Japan not only continued but also played a big role in peacetime and rebuilding policies between that two countries.…
