I believe that the King Philip's War (1675-1676) was not a necessary war. There were many things that went down and made this one of the bloodiest wars along side with the Civil war. The fight was between the Native Americans and the English settlers.…

As we all know, the US government was kept a neutral attitude about World War I in the beginning. Due to the identity as a neutral country, America was trading with both the Allies and Central powers so that it had obtained lots of money. However, when the war was near to an end, America finally decided to entry into the war. The most direct causes are mainly had two points. One is that the Germany announced to resume unrestricted submarine warfare. Although whose purpose was to make a block to the UK, it not warned in advance but randomly strike the ships that into the UK, which made a threat to America, because it hampered America to earn money and caused the deaths of 128 Americans that infuriated the citizen from America . Another is the…

The Vietnam War was the longest war in which the United States took part in. This heart breaking war began in 1957. Vietnam is a small country in Southeast Asia that was divided into the Communist-Democratic Republic of Vietnam, known as North Vietnam, and the non-Communist Republic of Vietnam, called South Vietnam. North Vietnamese and Communist-trained South Vietnamese rebel’s goals were to overthrow the government of South Vietnam and to eventually reunite the country as one. The United States and the South Vietnamese armies tried to stop this but soon realize that this was a challenge.…
Britain was equipped thoroughly for the Crimea war in 1854, in evident to Source 2 stating “Britain, the most industrially developed of all European states”. This is exhibited by the amount of factory and mine workers within Britain. Half of the population in Britain lived in the country side (agriculture) providing various natural resources such as steel and good use of coal production to benefit and improve the British army in terms of weaponry, artillery etc. Britain was a vast, powerful empire, industrial leaders of the world and was far wealthier than any other state in Europe which highlights a perfect opportunity for the British to get a slight advantage in terms of medication, transportation such as ships and railways and in particular the utilisation of technology. Significantly, this allowed Britain to increase their tactical and communication skills throughout the war through the eclectic telegraph. Most importantly it offered Britain an advance preparation for the war that would occur in 1854.…

Over the years The United States of America has forged itself a reputation of declaring wars. Ironically, declaration of war was most justified in one of its least acknowledged conflicts, the War of 1812. The United States was justified in its attack on British North America, which was a colony of Great Britain at the time. The reasons for this justification were Great Britain's breach of Maritime rights, their support for the Natives, who were waging war against the United States, and the impressments of American naval men.…
Between the late eighteen hundreds and late nineteen hundreds, England was described as being in “splendid isolation” from the rest of Europe until 1914. But why did Britain go to war? What rivalries were Britain involved and what treaties dragged her into the war? I need to look through the primary sources such as official reports, published interviews, addresses, and history textbook to gather facts; secondary sources from the internet will be needed as well in order to support British’s motivation of war.…
The War of 1812 is of great historical and cultural significance to Canada. The war of 1812 was declared on the 18th of June, 1812, by James Madison, who was at that time the President of the United States of America. He declared war on Britain, and unfortunately that included Canada. There were many reasons that declared the war of 1812.There were conflicts between the United States and Britain that began in 1812 and lasted until early 1815. President James Madison requested a declaration of war to protect American ships on the high seas and to stop the British from impressing or seizing U.S. sailors. U.S. ships were being stopped and searched by both Great Britain and France, who were fighting each other in Europe. President Madison also wanted to prevent Britain from forming alliances with Native Americans on the American frontier. His decision was influenced by Americans in the West and South, who hoped to expand the United States by seizing control of both Canada and Florida. Critics called the War of 1812 "Mr. Madison's War," but others saw it as a "second war of independence," an opportunity for Americans to defend their freedom and honor in the face of European disrespect. Neither Britain nor the United States was particularly well prepared to fight this war, and the conflict eventually ended in a stalemate. Soon after the war began, American leaders began to worry about the exposed Western fort of Detroit, a strategic settlement in the Michigan Territory. The U.S. hastily dispatched Brigadier General William Hull with reinforcements to the fort. In July General Hull decided to cross the Detroit River into Upper Canada. Hull's men, many of whom came from the Ohio militia, were poorly equipped, and, except for one small regiment, proved insubordinate and unreliable.…

I believe President Monroe’s statements on U.S. foreign policy was convincing. As a young country, this was one of the first bold, assertive documents written to demonstrate its power to the rest of the world. A key idea displayed in the Monroe Doctrine is neutrality. Connecting back to President Washington’s farewell address, the Monroe Doctrine states, “…only when our rights area invaded or seriously menaced that we resent injuries or make preparation for our defense”. I interpret this to mean the United States will remain neutral in foreign affairs, until our country is endangered. The goal of foreign policy at the time was to “not interfere in the internal concerns of any of [Europe’s] powers…” and “to cultivate friendly…
