Nazi resistance
In 1939 after Hitler began World War 2, some groups secretly resisted the Nazis in Germany. These included the Swing Movement of middle-class youth who enjoyed banned music and accepted Jews, the Edelweiss Pirates of working-class youth who attacked Hitler's youth members, and Jews who escaped Germany, hid, or were protected by resistance leaders and figures like Oskar Schindler. Resisting carried heavy risks, as some Jews caught resisting in Warsaw faced severe consequences from the SS Nazi special police.
Battles Of Lexington And Concord
The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first military engagements of the American Revolutionary War. On Paul Revere's famous ride, he warned the Patriots that the British were coming to seize military supplies stored in Concord. When the British arrived, the first shots were fired in Lexington, though it's unclear who fired first. Though the British were able to seize some supplies in Concord, they gained little of significance due to warnings and the Patriots' preparations.
Bamboo Grove
The document provides background on WWII and Japan's involvement. It discusses how Japan invaded China and tried to invade Russia after facing economic problems. It also explains how Japanese officials in Korea were targeted as Japan started losing WWII. Additionally, it covers Pearl Harbor and kamikaze pilots who willingly crashed planes into US battleships, viewing it as an honorable death. Finally, it notes that while Japan seemed to be winning in Korea at first, they ultimately lost WWII, leading many Koreans to oppose Japanese rule in their country and marking the start of the Korean-Japanese conflict addressed in the book.
Pearl harbor
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The attack consisted of two waves of aircraft that inflicted heavy damage, sinking four U.S. battleships and damaging many other ships and aircraft. The attack killed over 2,400 Americans and drew the United States into World War II. The bombing of Pearl Harbor was planned by Japanese admirals as a preemptive strike to neutralize the U.S. Pacific fleet and enable Japan's military expansion across Asia and the Pacific.
The united states in world war ii
The United States initially pursued a policy of isolationism after World War I, but grew involved in World War II through the Lend-Lease Act of 1941, which allowed aid to be sent to allies. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. focused first on defeating Germany and entered the war in Europe through campaigns in North Africa and Italy. Major battles in the Pacific included Midway, Guadalcanal and Okinawa, leading Japan to surrender after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.
Korean conflict the aftermath
The Korean Conflict ended in 1953 with an armistice that established a demilitarized zone along the cease-fire line between North Korea and South Korea, where over 1 million troops remain stationed today. The armistice terms called for the release of prisoners of war but China and North Korea refused to return all prisoners, and the United States responded by bombing North Korean irrigation dams. The war resulted in over 2 million Korean deaths, most civilians, 54,000 American deaths and 100,000 wounded, and 600,000 Chinese deaths, while Japan's postwar economic recovery was boosted by supplying both sides.
Alfred hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock was an English film director and producer born in 1899 in Essex who died in 1980 in California. He pioneered techniques in suspense and psychological thriller films and became very successful early in his career in British cinema.

Modern us history
Following World War I, the United States adopted an isolationist stance. Starting in 1935, Congress even passed various neutrality acts to enforce the will against foreign entanglement. But by December of 1941, President Roosevelt’s formal declaration of war made this legislation irrelevant. Although America attempted isolationism, European and Asian affairs brought global tension that eventually hit the country’s traditional allies. An aim of World War I had been “to make the world safe for democracy”,
Read presentation
On December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese naval and air forces, drawing the United States into World War II. Prior to this, the US had pursued an isolationist foreign policy in the 1920s-1930s. During the war, over 100,000 Americans died in Europe and Japanese prisoners endured the brutal Bataan Death March, while German U-boats began targeting American ships in late 1941.
15.1 the cold war unfolds
The document discusses the unfolding of the Cold War between 1946-1961. It includes cartoons from 1946 depicting Winston Churchill's desire to look behind the Iron Curtain at Communist countries, and from 1959 showing the US struggle to contain the Soviet Union. It also mentions the Berlin Wall being constructed in 1961 and border closings by Communist countries. Key leaders and events discussed include John F. Kennedy, Nikita Khrushchev, the Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro, deterrence strategies between the US and USSR, and periods of detente between Soviet and American leaders.
Mc Carthyism And The Red Scare
McCarthyism and the Red Scare led many Americans to fear communists during the Cold War era of tension with the Soviet Union. Senator Joseph McCarthy claimed that 205 communists worked in the state department without evidence, using bold tactics to accuse people like Charlie Chaplin and Samuel Mostel. While thousands were arrested in raids like the Palmer Raids, most were detained without trial and no communist revolution occurred as claimed. Eventually, the Red Scare was viewed as a hoax as the predicted revolution never materialized.
Modernism
World War I introduced advanced weapons of mass destruction and resulted in millions of deaths over just a few years. The Russian Revolution overthrew the Russian monarchy amid suffering during the war. World War II saw further technological advances in weapons like the atomic bomb, and Albert Einstein predicted that future wars could kill two-thirds of the world's population if fought with such weapons of mass destruction. Modern architecture in the 20th century was enabled by new materials like ferroconcrete and steel cantilevers.
Pearl harbor 2
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The attack consisted of two waves of aircraft that inflicted heavy damage, sinking several battleships and destroying many aircraft. The attack killed over 2,400 Americans and drew the United States into World War II. The bombing of Pearl Harbor was planned by Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto and caught the American fleet off guard, crippling the Pacific fleet. The attack had a significant impact on mobilizing the U.S. for war against Japan and its allies.
World war ii pearl harbor
- Japan attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, destroying or damaging 19 American ships and killing over 2,400 Americans. This brought the United States into World War II.
- In response to the attack, President Roosevelt declared December 7th a "date which will live in infamy" and asked Congress to declare war on Japan. Congress approved and also declared war on Germany and Italy.
- During World War II on the American home front, consumer goods were rationed and many women entered the workforce to support the war effort through jobs in factories and offices. Victory gardens also helped address food shortages.
Unit 14 lesson 4
The document discusses several Cold War conflicts outside of the major US-Soviet confrontations in Korea, Cuba, and Vietnam. It describes how the US opposed Communist influences in Nicaragua, Iran, and Afghanistan in line with its containment policy. In Nicaragua, the US initially supported the Somoza dictatorship but later backed anti-Communist Contras against the Sandinista government. In Iran, the US aided the Shah's Western-backed regime until the 1979 Iranian Revolution established an anti-American Islamic state under Ayatollah Khomeini. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1970s to prop up a Communist government also drew US support for anti-Soviet Muslim rebels.
Second Red Scare - Cold War II
The document summarizes the Second Red Scare period in the United States during the Cold War from 1945-1953. It describes how fears of communism grew due to the Soviet Union developing nuclear weapons and the rise of Communist China. The House Un-American Activities Committee investigated suspected communists within the US and the Hollywood Ten were arrested. Laws like the Smith Act and McCarran Act restricted communist activities and travel. Senator Joseph McCarthy falsely accused many Americans of being communists, fueling further fears through "McCarthyism" until his tactics became too extreme and he lost public support.
End of Cold War
Mikhail Gorbachev became General Secretary of the Soviet Union in 1985 and introduced reforms of perestroika and glasnost seeking to restructure and open up the Soviet society and economy while maintaining communist rule. His reforms weakened the Soviet Union and led Eastern European nations to overthrow their communist governments in 1989, ultimately leading to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 and end of the Cold War.
Richard E Byrd
Richard E. Byrd was a famous American polar explorer and aviator who received many honors including the Medal of Honor. Byrd led several expeditions to Antarctica and the Arctic regions, becoming the first person to fly over both poles. He also served as a consultant during World War II and organized Operation Highjump, a large Antarctic mission. Byrd died in 1957 and is remembered as a national hero for his pioneering exploration efforts.
Causes of the Cuban Missile Crisis – Khrushchev's domestic position
Nikita Khrushchev faced domestic challenges as the Soviet leader from 1953-1964. He criticized Stalin in a 1956 speech, angering Stalin supporters and encouraging anti-Soviet revolts. This made Khrushchev unpopular and worried about challenges to his leadership. His agricultural and religious policies also failed and were unpopular. Placing missiles in Cuba may have been an attempt to strengthen his position by appearing stronger against the US and distracting from domestic issues, though confronting the US carried great risks if unsuccessful.
The Hungarian Revolution in 1956
The document summarizes key events of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. It describes how Hungarians initially welcomed the Soviet Union after World War 2 but soon faced totalitarian rule under Stalinist policies. Reforms in the 1950s raised living standards but unrest grew. Mass protests in October 1956 against the communist government grew into a full revolution as protesters took control of Budapest. The revolution succeeded initially in toppling the government and Soviet troops withdrew, but the Soviet Union soon reasserted control, arresting and executing opposition leaders and forcing Imre Nagy from power. Hundreds of thousands of Hungarians fled as refugees in the revolution's bloody aftermath.
Doolittle
The document summarizes Doolittle's Raid on Tokyo in April 1942. It was led by Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle and launched 16 B-25 bombers from the USS Hornet in a diversionary attack to boost American morale. Due to being spotted earlier than planned, the bombers had to launch from farther out than intended but still managed to hit targets in Tokyo and Nagoya before landing in China and Russia. The raid shook Japanese confidence and influenced their decision in the upcoming Battle of Midway.
1940s
The document is a collection of photographs from the 1940s depicting various scenes from World War II. The photos show Adolf Hitler visiting Paris after it was captured, workers at a San Diego airplane factory in 1941, the last known photo of a Jew in Vinnitza, Ukraine taken by a German soldier, Pearl Harbor in 1941, American pilots in China known as the Flying Tigers, the construction of B-24 bombers, WASPs helping with American war efforts, the Alcan Highway being constructed in 1942, P-63 Kingcobra planes undergoing inspection to be sent to Russia via Alaska, a B-24 bomber assembly line in 1943, Auschwitz, Glenn Miller and his band, the Soviet flag being raised over the Reichstag
Cold War
The document provides an overview of the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945 to 1990. It discusses the origins of the Cold War following World War 2, key events that expanded tensions like the Cuban Missile Crisis, periods of détente, the reemergence of tensions in the late 1970s, and the ultimate end of the Cold War with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. The document aims to define the Cold War, trace its causes, understand its dimensions, and analyze its impact on the global order.

RISEBA-Mental-accounting-Musura-Petrovecki-full-paper
This document presents a research study that examines mental accounting and how it relates to self-regulation. The study used an experimental design with 200 participants to test whether mental accounting is a universal process and whether it serves a self-regulatory role depending on an individual's mindset (deliberative vs implemental). The results showed that mental accounting is a robust phenomenon that may play a role in self-regulation for saving decisions in real-world contexts, but not when mindset is experimentally manipulated.
