World War I began in 1914, though the United States did not join until 1917 when it needed larger forces. Over 2 million African Americans registered for the draft during World War I, with 367,000 called into service both stateside and overseas. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People advocated for equal treatment of African American soldiers during World War I and worked to boost their morale. Despite facing discrimination, African American units such as the 369th Infantry Regiment, known as the "Harlem Hellfighters", served with distinction in Europe.

Ralph Nader argues in his book Unstoppable that Republicans and Democrats can work together to dismantle the corporate influence over government. He provides evidence that corporations financially support politicians to advance their own interests. However, Nader believes both parties can "converge" and pass reforms that reduce corporate power over elected officials. The book calls for specific policies that would limit the role of money in politics and increase government accountability. While some may be skeptical that the parties can cooperate, Nader cites historical examples where conservatives and liberals unexpectedly found common ground on issues that benefited ordinary citizens.

Osama bin laden(Full Bio)
Osama bin Laden was the founder and leader of al-Qaeda, a militant Sunni Islamist organization. He was born in Saudi Arabia in 1957 and studied economics and business administration. Bin Laden orchestrated numerous terrorist attacks against Western targets and declared war against the United States in 1996. Most notably, he was the mastermind behind the September 11 attacks in 2001 which killed nearly 3,000 people. After nearly a decade on the run, bin Laden was killed by U.S. special forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan in 2011.
Uganda
Child soldiers in Uganda ranged from ages 8 to 20 and were often poor, separated from families, and displaced from homes. They were forced to commit atrocities such as murdering family and friends, serving as frontline combatants, human mine detectors, and suicide bombers. Girls were also kidnapped and raped or became "wives." The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) led by Joseph Kony fought against the National Resistance Army (NRA) led by President Yoweri Museveni, and both sides used child soldiers. Over 30,000 children were abducted in the 1980s and 10,000 more in 18 months. Thousands of "night commuters" would walk miles to safety each night to escape ab
The Death of Osama Bin Laden
Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda and the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, was killed by US Navy SEALs in a covert operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan on May 1, 2011. The operation, called Operation Neptune Spear, involved SEAL Team 6 flying covertly into Pakistan and raiding the compound where bin Laden had been living. Bin Laden was shot and killed during the raid. The death of bin Laden was announced by President Obama and was met with both relief and satisfaction by many, though some argued the "war on terror" would continue.
Osama Bin Laden Presentation
Osama Bin Laden is considered the most dangerous terrorist in the world by the U.S. government. He is believed to have plotted or inspired attacks such as the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 1995 Saudi National Guard training center bombing, and the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. On September 11, 2001, Al Qaeda hijackers flew planes into the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon, with Bin Laden issuing a "fatwa" motivating these attacks. While only about 15% of Muslims are fundamentalists, Bin Laden's message resonates with young Muslims longing to restore Islam's former glory.

Clementine Ford is an Australian feminist writer, broadcaster and public speaker. She has a regular column in Daily Life.
Israel-US Relations
This document analyzes the relationship between the US and Israel through the lens of oil politics. It discusses several approaches to analyzing this relationship, including resource control and geopolitics. A key part of the argument is that supporting Israel allows the US to exert control over oil exports from Arab states. Controlling pipelines in the region is an important political and economic strategy. The document argues that maintaining a balance of power in the Middle East benefits the US by helping it control oil supplies from the 1950s onward.
The Quakers In Waynesville, Ohio
The document summarizes the migration of Quakers from the southern United States to the Northwest Territory (Ohio and Indiana) in the late 18th and early 19th centuries due to their opposition to slavery. It describes how Quakers such as John Woolman and Zechariah Dix preached against slavery. As a result, thousands of Quakers migrated from states like Virginia and the Carolinas to settle in the Ohio River valley between 1800 and 1808, establishing communities around Chillicothe, Ohio and in other parts of Ohio and Indiana.
Children & armed
Children are vulnerable victims of armed conflict in several ways. They are killed, maimed, abducted, orphaned, recruited as child soldiers, and subjected to sexual violence. The UN considers the killing or maiming of children, recruitment of child soldiers, attacks on schools and hospitals, denial of humanitarian access, abduction of children, and rape or sexual abuse of children to be "grave violations" of children's rights in conflict situations. These violations continue to occur on an alarming scale in over 36 countries where child soldiers, some as young as 8 years old, are being used.
Child soldiers genocide report
A former child soldier describes how when militia came to his village, they shot his older brother who refused to join them. Fearing for his life, the child joined the militia at age 13. He expresses the trauma of being forced to commit violent acts as a child and hopes others can spread awareness to prevent this from continuing to happen.
Child Soldiers
The document discusses the issue of child soldiers in Africa, specifically those recruited by Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in Uganda. It notes that over 30,000 children have been abducted by the LRA over the last 20 years and forced to kill from around age 10. Many young girls are taken as sex slaves or "wives" and subjected to rape and abuse. While efforts have been made to stop Kony, more needs to be done to end the use of child soldiers and bring awareness to this issue.
Childsoldiers
Child soldiers are a major issue in Sudan, where up to 300,000 children under 18 serve in armed groups. Children as young as 8 are used as soldiers, porters, cooks, and more, and face being sent to the front lines or into minefields. Girls may be raped or given as wives to commanders. Children are vulnerable to recruitment due to manipulation, and join due to pressure, seeking food or security. The use of child soldiers is an issue across Africa. The Sudanese civil war has involved child soldiers since 1983 and stems from tensions between northern and southern Sudan when Britain ruled.
Child soldiers
There are approximately 250,000 child soldiers currently fighting in conflicts around the world. Children are forcibly abducted and recruited as young as 9 years old due to factors such as poverty, lack of access to education, and pressure from family or peers. Once recruited, child soldiers are exposed to violence, killing, sexual abuse, and psychological trauma. International organizations have been working to establish laws banning the use of child soldiers and supporting rehabilitation for former child soldiers.

Joseph Kony and the LRA
This week our students have had the opportunity to be part of real-time current events. With the media circus buzzing around Kony2012, Invisible Children, and the LRA – I created a (fairly) student-friendly powerpoint that objectively explains the background of Kony and the LRA. I am not getting into the hype surrounding supporters and opponents of Invisible Children, but have included them as well as other organizations at the end of the presentation to give students options regarding how to get involved.
No matter what people feel about Invisible Children, it’s obvious that they have created a successful awareness raising campaign. My students have had a lot of questions about the whole situation, so I created this powerpoint that I am now sharing with you.

Some volunteer due to poverty or to escape war, while others are abducted or forced to join after witnessing violence against family. Both boys and girls serve as child soldiers in many countries around the world today, with over 300,000 child soldiers globally who are often given drugs and forced to commit violent acts in violation of their basic human rights.
Joseph kony
Joseph Kony is the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in central Africa, a rebel group known for brutal tactics like rape, mutilation, and killing of civilians. Kony abducted over 30,000 children over 26 years of conflict. The Kony 2012 video by Invisible Children aimed to make Kony famous worldwide to encourage international efforts to arrest him. The U.S. has provided support to Uganda to pursue Kony, though he remains at large, now in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, and South Sudan after being pushed from northern Uganda. Invisible Children continues working with celebrities to publicize Kony and raise money to help stop the LRA's violence.
Child Soldiers
Child soldiers are increasingly used in over 30 countries around the world. The document discusses how thousands of children, some as young as 5 years old, are forcibly recruited by armed groups and state militaries to participate in armed conflicts. Common tasks of child soldiers include serving as porters, cooks, lookouts, and fighters. In addition to physical risks, child soldiers often endure psychological trauma and lose their childhood through deprivation of education and family ties. The document examines case studies of child soldier use in Afghanistan, Burma, and Sri Lanka.
Child Soldiers In Uganda
The document discusses the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in Uganda. It began as a rebel group fighting the Ugandan government but became known for brutal tactics like kidnapping children to be soldiers or sex slaves. The LRA is led by Joseph Kony and despite efforts, the conflict has continued for over 25 years across multiple central African countries. The longevity of the LRA is largely attributed to Kony's leadership and belief that he communicates with spirits. While the LRA never had popular support, it has managed to survive with only a few hundred remaining fighters through Kony's mystical aura over his troops.
Child soldiers
Over 50 countries use child soldiers, with estimates of 200,000 to 300,000 children under 18 participating. Children are used for combat as well as support roles like messengers or sex slaves. They are easily manipulated and require little resources. The Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda, led by Joseph Kony since 1986, has forcibly conscripted many children through abductions. There are political, economic, and social causes and effects of using child soldiers. While there is no single solution, organizations like Invisible Children raise awareness and funds to help prevent the ongoing cycle of harm.

Thousands of children across more than 40 countries, especially in Northern Uganda, are forced or tricked into becoming child soldiers. An estimated 300,000 children under 18 have been coerced into soldier roles over the past 20 years in Uganda alone. Children as young as 5 years old are abducted from villages and schools and taught to kill others or face death themselves at the hands of brutal rebel groups like the Lord's Resistance Army. Many former child soldiers continue to suffer psychological trauma from the violence they were forced to commit or witness.
Human Trafficking
ISIS has established military training camps where they recruit and train child soldiers as young as 8 years old. Children are kidnapped and forced to undergo training where they learn to shoot guns like AK-47s and are taught skills like beheading. There have been reports of ISIS distributing dolls to children and instructing them to decapitate the dolls. These children are then used as fighters, spies, and human shields by ISIS. Many human rights organizations are working to track, document, and address the issue of child soldier recruitment by ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
NHSMUN 2016 HSC Update Paper
The document discusses two topics: child soldiers in Angola during the Angolan Civil War from 1988 and the refugee crisis in El Salvador. It details how both sides in the Angolan conflict, the MPLA and UNITA, recruited thousands of child soldiers due to a declining education system and poor economic conditions caused by the long-running civil war. Many child soldiers faced abuse and traumatic experiences. It also provides background context on the conflicts.
