Some of you may not know about the Navajo Code Talkers, so I’m going to tell you a little bit about them. The Code Talkers are arguably the most important part of the U.S.’s army during World War II. For starters, the Code Talkers weren’t white men. They were actually indians who lived normal lives. The Code Talkers weren’t all…
World WarII was very different in comparison to World War I. It presented differentchallenges for the Americans that were not presented during the First WorldWar. This was the first time that two capable and determined enemy nationsfaced America simultaneously. The two enemies Nazi Germany and Japan at thistime were not nations to be looked down upon. Nazi Germany had the potentialtechnological capability to launch devastating attacks on the Americanmainland. The Empire of Japan had gained more territory and gained control in ashorter time than the Romans, Mongols, or the Muslim empires.

The role of the Code Talkers during World War II played an important part during the war. They had to develop a code that wouldn’t be easy to crack. So they used their language which is the Navajo language. “After his training in 1942, Nez's unit was asked to develop a code. The code was based on the then-unwritten Navajo language.” They did a lot because this language made it hard for people to understand what they were trying to say because of the phonetics, which led them to victory of World War II. Also, making a code was an important role during World War II.…
It has been estimated that over 4,000 First Nation’s had taken the initiative to serve in the second world war. This is an extraordinary discovery due to the fact that they received very few civil rights in the twentieth century for their heritage. They overcame many barriers to help enlist in the war such as cultural and language barriers that separated them from the other european troops. By overcoming them they produced a new found recognition that would express their sacrifice and achievements to eventually advance their First Nation rights.…
Despite their people being slaughtered and lack of recognition from the government, Navajo code talkers still aided the United States in a time of need. During WWII the U.S was in need of a cipher, which is a code to help transmit messages without the Japanese interfering and intercepting, so they turned to the Navajo. The Navajo Language was spoken only by the Navajo and not written down at all. It was the perfect code for the military.…
One consequence of World War I was that about 21 million combatants were injured and about about 9 million were killed during the battle. Another reason was that big areas of Europe were destroyed and the economies of counries fell apart. Influenza also spread rapidly killing many people in…
When considering Americans in World War Two, many may think of a soldier going off to war, or a somehow-cheery family growing a victory garden. Other than that, most do not know much about who exactly was on the U.S. homefront. There are several groups that people tend to forget about when looking back on this time. Japanese Americans and Mexican Americans were two groups on the U.S. homefront that were quite separated from the rest of the country’s population, one in camps and the other working as temporary laborers, and though they also seemed different from each other, their experiences did have similarities.…

The United States has actually not declared war since World War II. In Article I, section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, Congress has the power,"to declare war [and] grant letters of marque and reprisal."(archives.gov) But Article II,Section 2 provides that,"The president shall be Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States." (fed-soc.org) While it's clear that the intended action for Congress alone to declare war, presidents don’t necessarily act with them but rather on their own will and belief. Truth be told as well, many events were presidents acted on their own have occoured. For example, after President Harry Truman bypassed Congress to go to war in Korea, presidents have paid almost no attention to the constitutional requirements.…

Today, these men are recognized as the famous Navajo Code Talkers, who exemplify the unequaled bravery and patriotism of the Navajo people. These Navajo men were selected to create codes and serve on the front line to overcome and deceive those on the other side of the battlefield (Discover Navajo). However, “unknown to many, the Navajo language was used to create a secret code to battle the Japanese. A lot of visitors from around the world are intrigued, yet also confused, when they hear the Navajo language – so, too, were the enemy during World War II.” (Discover Navajo)…
Although throughout history the goverment took advantage of the Native Americans, suprisingly they answered the call of duty to fight for their country in the 1940's. The code talkers are a main part of the victory in World War II. They used a secret code no one could break. The code talkers were made of classified tribes that no one knew about until they were declassified years after the war was over. The Native American code talkers were important because no one could break their code. The tribes included were the Navajo, the Comanche, and the Choctaw.…
World War Two was a rough time for millions of innocent human beings, especially those of the Jewish religion. It all started in 1939 when the Axis Powers-made up of Adolf Hitler from Nazi Germany, Benito Mussolini of Italy and Tojo Hideki of Japan. Unfortunately, my family was Jewish and we were all shipped off to a concentration camp or an extermination camp, all of which were contaminated with some of the deadliest diseases, a lack of food and water, and worst of all millions were put to an eternal rest. I caught some of the worst illnesses at the Vught Labor Camp and yet, I was of the lucky ones out the millions of individuals imprisoned that made it out of the war alive. Little did I know that living in a concentration camp for two years would teach me so many life lessons.…
