While we were studying the world wars, the mentality of the soldiers, how they cope, and what they go through is what I was most curious about. As the wars went on, soldiers kept fighting, what was their mentality? Why did these soldiers have the will to fight after seeing so much death? Without the soldiers, America wouldn’t be where we are today, as well as the other countries involved. What were the soldiers inspiration to keep fighting, and did anyone just stop fighting? The world wars made a big impression on the countries involved. Mass deaths were counted between both world wars, citizens and soldiers both
We have all seen or read about the political and social upheavals caused by war. Some may have even experienced it first-hand. Throughout history war has had negative psychological implications on those effected. However, there is no greater negative impact of war than the psychological and emotional turmoil that it causes individual soldiers.
Many wars have happened through out our history. From the B.C to the 21st century. But some people believe some of these war should be forgotten or not learned about. To be specific, the War of 1812 and this is major issue. The issue on this is that some believe that it should be taken out of history books. This is because the ink prices have sky rocketed and not putting this in would save them money.Others believe that keeping it would be better. This is because many great accomplishments came out of this war. My opinion is that the War of 1812 should be left in the history books.

Contemporary Canadian reimagining of the First World war is from the book Catching the torch by a Brock University teacher Neta Gordon. She wrote this book in 2014. She tries to explain to the reader the conflict between history and collective memory of the First World War. With many other essays, she focuses on the role of the Canadian army in the First World war. As we know, the Canadian army entered the war in early 1915 to offer help to the Britain soldiers fighting against the Germans. The Canadian army was basically forced to join because they were a member of the British Empire.
In today’s digital age, development of new technology and weapons are at an alarming rate, hence arises the need to stay ahead of advancements in order to properly defend the nation, as well as coalition forces and allies. In this period of warfare, the number one threat comes in the form of air breathing and ballistic missiles. During World War II, this threat was present, but was not thought to be prevalent.
A primary differentiation between James Longstreet and Joshua Chamberlain is their incompatible perspectives on the morale of the war, ultimately leading the reader to ascertain the cause of the Confederacy’s defeat at Gettysburg. As a Northern general, who believed that slavery could not co-exist in a county committed to the proposition that all men are considered equal, Chamberlain believed the war is fought to determine the value and freedom of all men. Viewed as essentially aberrant property throughout the South, Chamberlain, unlike other Southern officers, comprehends the complexities of human rights and the defective definition of man imposed upon the Constitution, promoting
World War II had a really big conflict on values and ideas because most countries in Europe were involved and some thought that they were being cheated on each other, countries like japan wanted to use more resources to help their people and to help their factories run properly. The ideas were also a major conflict in World War II as the ideas such as the treaty of Versailles did not go well with Germany as they had to pay a big price as they lost in the World War I and they had to compensate France and Great Britain. And countries which did win the war talked about issues like territory invasions, war issues and so on. This did not go well with Germany. Some nations did not allow other nations to enter their territories as they had promised
Politically, the Axis powers of Italy, Japan, and Germany were defeated by the Allies (Free France, Britain, United States, and Soviet Union). World War II brought about the creation the Atlantic Charter, which was created by Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt. The charter believed that the people had a right to choose their government, it denounced aggression, and it supported communal security; all this was backed by the Allies. Different territories were distributed among the victorious nations: Britain took over Greece, Soviet Union took over Bulgaria and Romania, and Britain and Greece would together manage Yugoslavia and Hungary. In 1945, Roosevelt was instrumental in the creation of the United Nations which would replace the League of Nations as a peace-keeping organization.

When I first heard the term, war driving I thought it was a military term that had to do with war. I thought it involved military vehicles and how U.S Soldiers used these vehicles in a time of war. Actually, war driving is a cyber security term that has do with people driving around in cars looking to expose access points to gain entry. In all actuality it involves hackers in cars using high powered antennas, their computers, tablets, or other computer devices, looking for access points that are unprotected and have easy to no passwords. All in all, it’s a way for hackers to infiltrate a company’s Network. Wardriving is often used in locating network vulnerabilities in order for hackers to attack the network.

In “Why We Fight: Prelude to War”, Frank Capra describes two worlds, the free world and the slave world. Fascist leaders are threatened by the principles of democracy, equality, and liberty of the free world because they believe democracy is a sign of weakness. So as a result, the Axis Powers enforce dictatorship and militarism as justifications to progress into a more dominant and prosperous nation. According to the film, the United States entered the war to protect and aid countries who were unable to do so themselves. Capra emphasizes how high the stakes are; it is “us or them,” explaining if we lose our freedoms, then we succumb to the tyranny of the Axis Powers. This is not just a war, this is to free people’s life and death struggle against
When asked how he felt about the deaths of 9 /11, Pablo Sequera , a 22 year old US army soldier in Iraq said "I wanted to bomb the fuck out of every single one of them towel heads". Now fighting in Iraq he says he has grown more sympathy and understanding toward Middle Eastern people. "Actually being up close, watching how they live every day in violence, has given me even more ambition to help them gain freedom" said Sequera. War will always change a person whether it's physically or mentally, a soldier never leaves the way he came in. The smells of gunfire, the loud ping of bullets bouncing off of metal, the vibrations of grenades exploding nearby, and the taste of their own fear climbing up into their throat will always remain close to
The realist school of thought stands for anarchy and fighting for its own selfish reasons to preserve the nation's interest. Back in December 7th, 1941 after the Japanese air force attack to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, America’s military was caught by surprise bringing out the attention of the whole nation against Japan. President Harry S. Truman, made the decision in 1945 to attack Japan with nuclear bombs first to Hiroshima and then three day later to Nagasaki. Days later, Japan surrender, and World War II was drawn into a close. Realist scholars say that the decision made was unnecessary. The death among the two cities were around 200,000, in Hiroshima there were 90,000 deaths, and Nagasaki had 37,000 death this is without counting the
War has been a part of human culture since it's birth. It has led to a great many massacres and has shown us the evil that exists within the souls of humanity. Some have even gone as far as saying that war is human nature. To better understand the reasons behind war and how it affects others, I've examined several different societies and cultures so as to better understand the necessity of war and see the cause of their external war attitude. To do so, different variables from two topics (military institutions and external war attitude) were matched up and crossed so as to look into the answers to these questions. The variables were then calculated and through these graphs, I was able to find different societies in which
The sun also rises is an interpretation of many during the aftermath of World War I. Each character reflects mundane issues that affected even the ones that could have anything they wanted easily. The protagonist, Jake, is the stereotype of the generation present after the war. His manliness was injured during this event, creating in him an insecurity and an emotional instability. This prevented him from maintaining any type of relationship. The character’s happiness depended on the validation of others and most importantly on this made up the idea of what their masculinity had to be. We see war and its emotional consequences through the eyes of Jake Barnes.
