1950s Cold War
During the 1950s Cold War era, there was widespread fear of communist influence and nuclear attack in the United States. The federal government investigated the loyalty of employees, while people built bomb shelters and practiced drills in case of nuclear strikes. This fear of communism abroad led the US and USSR to engage in a nuclear arms race and space race to prove the superiority of their technologies and ideologies. The Soviet Union gained an early advantage by launching Sputnik as the first artificial satellite in 1957, but the US went on to land on the moon in 1969, claiming victory in the space competition.
WWII
The document summarizes America's entry into WWII from isolationism to involvement. It discusses how the U.S. initially wanted to remain isolated from the war but became increasingly involved through acts like cash and carry and lend lease. The bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan in 1941 prompted the U.S. to declare war. The U.S. mobilized for war through efforts like enlistment, increased production, and utilizing more women and minorities in the workforce. The document then outlines some significant battles of WWII and how the world changed as a result of the Allied victory.

The document discusses the Korean War and the role of the United States in containing the spread of communism. It describes how Korea was divided along the 38th parallel after World War 2, with North Korea becoming communist and supported by Russia while South Korea had an anti-communist dictatorship backed by the US.

Kamikaze
The Kamikaze were Japanese pilots who willingly crashed explosive-laden planes into enemy ships during World War II, believing they were saving Japan. The program received many volunteers and used experienced pilots to train suicide bombers. The pilots took an oath emphasizing loyalty and righteousness and flew modified Mitsubishi planes carrying bombs. They believed crashing their planes was an honorable way to fight for their emperor and be released after death. Though shocking to Americans, the Kamikaze inflicted heavy damage but did not prevent Japan's defeat in the war.
How to brief an agency... It's so simple!
Briefing an agency is easy..? Yes. If you follow a few simple rules. Kamikaze had a pleasure to support Polish teams in L'Oreal Brandstorm competition. During the contest we created a short presentation to make the cooperation as smooth as possible.
Okinawa Power Point
The Battle of Okinawa in 1945 was a major battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II. [1] It was important for the Allies to take the island of Okinawa to cut off Japanese supply lines and have a place to refuel and repair ships before invading Japan. [2] The battle resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, especially among Japanese troops and Okinawan civilians, with estimates of over 75,000 civilian deaths. [3] Ultimately, the Allied victory at Okinawa paved the way for the planned invasion of Japan's mainland, though the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war before an invasion was necessary.
Kamikaze
Kamikaze pilots willingly sacrificed themselves by crashing explosive-laden aircraft into Allied naval ships during World War II to protect Japan. They were mainly young, inexperienced university students with little flight training. While kamikaze attacks managed to sink around forty American ships and cause many casualties, they failed to take down any large aircraft carriers and hundreds of Japanese lives were lost through the suicidal missions.
The battle of okinawa
The Battle of Okinawa took place from April to June 1945 as Allied forces sought to take the island of Okinawa to use as a base for the planned invasion of Japan. Over 60,000 Allied soldiers landed on Okinawa's beaches on April 1st meeting little resistance at first. However, the Japanese mounted increasingly fierce defenses over the following months. The battle resulted in over 12,000 American deaths, 36,000 wounded, and over 100,000 civilian casualties as the Japanese military encouraged mass suicides rather than surrender.

History of Hiroshima. Why America Attack on Hiroshima Nagasaki.pdf
The document provides background on why the US attacked Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear bombs in August 1945. Japan had been expanding its empire across Asia under its vision of a "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere." As Japan captured more territory, tensions rose with the US. When the US cut off oil exports to Japan in 1941 in response, Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor to neutralize the US Pacific fleet first before capturing more land in Southeast Asia. This brought the US directly into World War 2 against Japan. By 1945, Japan was the only remaining Axis power that had not surrendered as the US sought to end the war and bring Japan to surrender its empire.

CHAPTER ONE
THE COURSE OF THE WAR
On the very day that President Barack Obama fielded a student’s question
in Moscow about whether a new Korean War was in the offing (July 7, 2009),
the papers were filled with commentary on the death of Robert Strange
McNamara. The editors of The New York Times and one of its best columnists,
Bob Herbert, condemned McNamara for knowing the Vietnam War was
un-winnable yet sending tens of thousands of young Americans to their deaths
anyway: “How in God’s name did he ever look at himself in the mirror?” Herbert
wrote. They all assumed that the war itself was a colossal error. But if McNamara
had been able to stabilize South Vietnam and divide the country permanently
(say with his “electronic fence”), thousands of our troops would still be there
along a DMZ and evil would still reside in Hanoi. McNamara also had a minor
planning role in the firebombing of Japanese cities in World War II: “What
makes it immoral if you lose and not immoral if you win?” he asked; people like
himself and Curtis LeMay, the commander of the air attacks, “were behaving as
war criminals.” McNamara derived these lessons from losing the Vietnam War:
we did not know the enemy, we lacked “empathy” (we should have “put
ourselves inside their skin and look[ed] at us through their eyes,” but we did not);
we were blind prisoners of our own assumptions. 1 In Korea we still are.
Korea is an ancient nation, and one of the very few places in the world
where territorial boundaries, ethnicity, and language have been consistent for
well over a millennium. It sits next to China and was deeply influenced by the
Middle Kingdom, but it has always had an independent civilization. Few
understand this, but the most observant journalist in the war, Reginald Thompson,
put the point exactly: “the thought and law of China is woven into the very
texture of Korea … as the law of Rome is woven into Britain.” The distinction is
between the stereotypical judgment that Korea is just “Little China,” or nothing
more than a transmission belt for Buddhist and Confucian culture flowing into
Japan, and a nation and culture as different from Japan or China as Italy or
France is from Germany.
Korea also had a social structure that persisted for centuries: during the five
hundred years of the last dynasty the vast majority of Koreans were peasants,
most of them tenants working land held by one of the world’s most tenacious
aristocracies. Many were also slaves, a hereditary status from generation to
generation. The state squelched merchant activity, so that commerce, and
anything resembling the green shoots of a middle class, barely developed. This
fundamental condition—a privileged landed class, a mass of peasants, and little
leavening in between—lasted through twentieth-century colonialism, too,
because after their rule began in 1910 the Japanese found it useful to operate
through local landed power. So, amid the crisis of nat ...
