Technology and Warfare
World War I demonstrated a lucid transformation in how wars were fought. One of the most obvious technological developments of this time manifested via the weaponry used. Tanks and machine guns had a tremendous impact on the way that soldiers engaged in warfare and influenced what it meant to be a soldier. Mass production and the development of flying machines also had a grave impact on modern warfare and the speed at which weapons and vehicles could be made and replaced.
So much of World War I is connected to… Continue Reading...
Chinese American Women Defense Workers in World War II: Article Review

in terms of their history and even ideologies. Both are clearly seen to have been established after the First World War in order to create a new world political order that would not plunge blocks or continents into such a gruesome war as was WWI. Both ideologies loathed the domination of the bourgeoisie and wanted to recruit people to the new utopia that made all members of the society equal. Both the systems put totalitarianism into action. It was Lenin’s step of kick starting totalitarianism in October 1917 that brought into existence totalitarianism as we know it today. Both movements initiated the insurrection of the masses in politics and… Continue Reading...

The political event in consideration is the Balfour Declaration. In the course of World War I, the Middle East was under British Imperialism. In 1915, the British government through Sir Henry McMahon, who was Egypt's British High Commissioner, assured Hussein, who was Sharif of Mecca at the time, that Britain would give backing to the independence of the Arab kingdom if they took part in an Arab revolt in opposition of the Ottoman Empire. However, two years later, Britain through Lord Arthur Balfour issued the Balfour Declaration with the proclamation of guaranteeing the establishment of a home for the Jews in Palestine.[footnoteRef:1] The… Continue Reading...
World War I. Berlin became vice capital of the world with its cabaret nightlife introducing Anita Berber to the world. Goebbels defined it as—“sin, vice and corruption.” Berber was the original poster girl of the sex, drugs and rock-n-roll lifestyle (pre-rock-n-roll). For example, while the idea of the “new woman” aka the Neu Frau was popping up in the Weimar Republic—a concept which made the new woman into something androgynous and equal to men, socially speaking—Hoch set out to mock the idea and deconstruct it while also asserting her own… Continue Reading...
Western Front, explaining how the United States was drawn into World War I.
For much of World War I, the United States remained isolationist. It regarded World War I as a struggle between older, European powers. Trench warfare decimated the youth of Europe. America’s late entry into the war proved to be fortuitous in the sense that it was exposed to less of this punishing and ultimately foolish method of warfare. Germany’s sinking of American ships when America was neutral combined with the alleged attempt of Germany to ally with Mexico to secure Mexico’s old territories, however, ultimately brought the… Continue Reading...
World War II (Ades and Gale 1). The turning inward of psychoanalysis and the Jungian dream landscape characterized surrealism, making it an inadvertent predecessor to the psychedelic counterculture movement of the 1960s. Dada tended to be more extraverted, concerned with political, social, and economic institutions and their implications for human potential.
However, neither Dada nor surrealism would make any overt, literal statements about war or the human mind. It is not as if Dada was protest art, even if it might have sprung from the visceral wellspring of horrors that… Continue Reading...
served in the same division in World War I. They are friendly with one another, but not true friends. Gatsby basically uses Nick to get to Daisy (for whom he has been throwing all these lavish parties) in the scene where Nick invites his cousin to tea only so that Gatsby can surprise her and express his love for her once more. Were Nick and Gatsby true friends, there would not be the ulterior motive in Gatsby’s ambitions. He would simply accept Nick as a friend for the sake of friendship. He does not: he wants… Continue Reading...

War depicts the word "logistics" being used specifically (Rutner et al., 2012). After World War II (WWII), scholars started separating logistics into military and commercial logistics in their works, and the phrase "business logistics" surfaced. Hence, although logistics has its roots in the military profession, it clearly moved over to the commercial arena.
Thus, upon comparing commercial and military supply chains, one will expect that the latter enjoys appreciable advantage on account of its far earlier researching and implementation of logistical practices, processes, instruments, technology and equipment. But, in truth, commercial supply chain management (SCM) and logistical domains outdid military logistics sometime in… Continue Reading...

President Harry Truman's decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan during World War II
Introduction
The United States remains the only country in the world that has ever made use of an atomic weapon against another country during a war. In 1945 the U.S. bombed two Japanese cities – Hiroshima and Nagasaki – in what effectively informed the surrender of Japan during World War II. It is important to note that over time, the use of an atomic bomb by the U.S. against Japan has been debated widely. Was the U.S. justified in the deployment of the atomic bombs?

naval power, launching two new aircraft carriers together with state-of-the-art combat aircraft in 2019, the first such vessels used by Japan since World War II (London & Wakatsuki, 2018). Although purportedly for defensive purposes only due to restrictions in the Japanese constitution, it is apparent that these vessels together with the rest of the modern Japanese navy are capable of defending commercial shipping lanes in their region if put to the test by China, Russia or Iran. Furthermore, the potential for a constitutional amendment in Japan that expands the nation’s authority to include specifically offensive weaponry in its arsenal may be on the horizon given the need for Japan to exercise greater… Continue Reading...
coming of age of teenage girls during the first generation after World War II ended. However, they are not monolithic or too much alike in nature. It is important that literature explore the human condition and what drives people to act and behave as they do. Of course, nobody lives or behaves in a vacuum.

the Johnson-Reed Act was one of the reasons Asian migration into the United States slowed down following World War II (Kraut, 2014, p. 707).
The United States enjoys the position of being a land filled with lots of opportunities for nearly all its residents. There are several opportunities for upward mobility and for people born in lower socioeconomic levels to drastically change their fortunes and move up the socioeconomic ladder. Nonetheless, critics of migration argue that migration is a disadvantage to poorer Americans as it leads to lower wages in jobs meant to give the poor a springboard to jump out of their situation. Unskilled immigrants are… Continue Reading...
