Kim Jong-un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, is one of the most polarizing figures in the entire world. Kim is a person that people love to hate (just watch “The Interview”). He assumed leadership when his father, Kim Jong II, passed away after two decades as the Supreme Leader. Widely criticized for his lavish spending at the expense of North Korean citizens, it’s no surprise that Kim has a long list of enemies.
Kim’s power allows him to technically do whatever he wants, but as so many have seen, his decisions are not always ethical or right. The United Nations recently discovered that Kim’s spending on luxury goods eclipses the entire GDP of the North Korean people.
While many world leaders are accustomed to leading luxurious lives, they do so with sound mind, as their country is financially stable. However, Kim takes unethical spending to a new level as North Korea is filled with economic downfall and poverty. What exactly is Kim spending money on that could be used to help the people of North Korea? We found eight of Kim’s most ridiculous splurges, starting with a long list of imported drinks.
The document discusses the various motivations and factors that drove United States expansion westward in the 19th century. Key reasons included the spread of American beliefs and civilization through missionary work; the need for access to ports on the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico for trade; the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution creating demand for resources and farmland; and a belief in "Manifest Destiny" that America was destined to expand across the continent. Critics argued that this expansion displaced Native Americans and was often justified through racist ideologies.
President Kennedy continued the Cold War policy of resisting the spread of communism through both military and non-military means. He offered economic and development aid to other nations through initiatives like the Alliance for Progress and Peace Corps while also threatening military force if needed to defend against threats like those in Cuba and Berlin. Kennedy believed in pursuing peace without relying solely on weapons and sought to ease tensions with the Soviet Union through agreements like the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
American history: persian gulf war (1990 1991). Operation desert stormAlex Rayón Jerez
Presentation done on June 2009 during my year in the USA in the context of the debates and presentations I took part on with my fellow friend (RIP) and always in mind Ron Mullholand. It treats one of the latest chapter in the American history: the first Persian Gulf War.
On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defined the presidency of George W. Bush.
Based on the context clues in the passage, Roosevelt is responding to European interference in Latin American affairs. The passage discusses the Roosevelt Corollary, which allowed the U.S. to intervene in Latin America to maintain stability, in addition to mentioning the Monroe Doctrine which opposed European influence in the Western Hemisphere.
The document summarizes key events of September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. Four commercial airliners were hijacked, with two crashing into the World Trade Center towers, one into the Pentagon, and one crashing in a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 attacks, which had significant short and long-term impacts on the US through increased security measures, military action in Afghanistan, and lasting health and economic effects. The attacks also led to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and changes to national security policies.
The English made two attempts to settle Roanoke Island off the coast of what is now North Carolina in the late 16th century. The first colony failed and the settlers returned to England. The second colony, established in 1587, mysteriously disappeared. When supply ship captain John White returned from England a few years later, he found the colony abandoned with no signs of what happened to the approximately 90 men, 17 women, and 9 children. The only clues were the letters "CRO" carved into a tree and "CROATAN" carved into a post, but the fate of the "Lost Colony" remains a mystery.
The document summarizes two important events in African American history - the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln that freed slaves in Confederate states, and the 1963 March on Washington where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. It provides historical context for both events, including the struggles that led to them, key people involved, and their lasting impacts in advancing civil rights and equality.

Manifest Destiny was the 19th century belief that American settlers were destined to expand across North America from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. This expansion often occurred by taking lands belonging to Native Americans and Mexicans, which some white Americans viewed as inferior peoples. President James K. Polk was a key proponent of Manifest Destiny, adding more territory to the U.S. than any other president through acquisitions like the Oregon Territory, Mexican Cession, and $15 million purchase of California from Mexico after the Mexican-American War.
The document discusses four famous explorers: Christopher Columbus, Juan Ponce de Leon, Jacques Cartier, and Christopher Newport. Columbus sailed for Spain in 1492 and was the first European to discover North America. He landed in the Bahamas and called the land the "New World." Juan Ponce de Leon sailed for Spain and was the first European to land in Florida, claiming the land for Spain. Jacques Cartier sailed for France and explored the St. Lawrence River Valley in Canada, giving France a North American land claim. Christopher Newport sailed for England, wanting to discover riches and find a western sea route to Asia. He helped establish the Jamestown colony in Virginia.
Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 in Genoa, Italy and dreamed as a boy of sailing the ocean as an explorer to discover new lands. As an adult, he asked the King and Queen of Spain to fund an expedition for him to find a western route to Asia, and they provided him three ships. Columbus and his crew set sail and after a long voyage spotted land, realizing it was not Asia but a new continent. Columbus named the first island he discovered San Salvador and met the native Taino people. When he returned to Spain, Columbus had fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a great explorer.
Kennedy faced several foreign policy crises during his presidency including the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, the Berlin Wall, and most dangerously, the Cuban Missile Crisis. During the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, U.S. spy planes discovered nuclear missile sites being built in Cuba with help from the Soviet Union. Kennedy established a naval blockade of Cuba and initiated secret negotiations with Khrushchev to resolve the crisis and remove the missiles, bringing the U.S. and Soviet Union dangerously close to nuclear war. The crisis ended when Khrushchev agreed to remove the missiles, averting war but demonstrating the threat of nuclear proliferation.
This document provides an overview of the history of women and laws in America from the 1600s to the 1900s. It covers several key periods and events:
- Before 1700s: Spanish, Native American, and colonial-era women faced legal restrictions and social norms defining their roles but had some legal rights and agency depending on their status and location.
- 1700s-1800s: The early U.S. largely followed English common law traditions restricting married women's rights. The 1800s saw some reforms alongside the abolition, suffrage, and temperance movements.
- 1900s: The 20th century brought many landmark legal changes and social movements that expanded women's rights, including women's suff
The document provides details on the key events that led up to the Revolutionary War between the American colonies and Great Britain. It describes how Britain gained territory in North America after the French and Indian War, but this created conflicts over land use with Native Americans. It then outlines the various Acts passed by Britain to tax the colonies, such as the Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, and Intolerable Acts, which angered the colonists. This led to protests, boycotts, and confrontations like the Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party. In response, the colonists organized the Continental Congress to unite the colonies against Britain and prepare for war.
The document summarizes the Spanish-American War of 1898 which made the United States a world power. It describes the causes of the war as enforcing the Monroe Doctrine, American imperialism, and yellow journalism sensationalizing Spanish oppression in Cuba. It then outlines key events leading to war such as the Cuban insurrection against Spanish rule and the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor, which newspapers blamed on Spain and helped propel the US into war. The results of the 10-week war included US acquisition of Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines.
This covers all of how America got into World War One through how we helped end the war in Europe. It also at the end discusses the treaty of Versailles.
The Yalta Conference was held in February 1945 in Yalta, Ukraine among the Allied leaders Joseph Stalin of the USSR, Franklin Roosevelt of the USA, and Winston Churchill of Britain. They met to plan for Europe's future after Germany's impending defeat in World War II. The main agreements were to divide Germany into occupied zones controlled by each country, to establish the United Nations to maintain postwar peace, and for the Soviet Union to join the war against Japan once Germany surrendered. However, they disagreed over Poland's borders, with Stalin wanting to shift them westward into former German lands despite objections from Churchill and Roosevelt.
Hogan's History- Age of Exploration & DiscoveryWilliam Hogan
1. The first inhabitants of North America migrated from Asia around 22,000 years ago by crossing a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska during the last Ice Age. The Vikings were also early explorers, establishing communities in North America around 1000 AD.
2. Christopher Columbus received funding for his voyage from Queen Isabella of Spain after being rejected by King John II of Portugal. On his first voyage in 1492, Columbus landed in the Bahamas, believing he had reached Asia.
3. The Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés led the conquest of the powerful Aztec Empire in Mexico in the 1520s with the help of horses, guns, and native allies. Disease and violence brought by the Europeans devast
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer, navigator and colonizer born in 1451 in Genoa, Italy. He made four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean, discovering several islands in the Caribbean and South and Central America for Spain. His first voyage in 1492 resulted in the discovery of the Americas, including landing in The Bahamas and exploring Cuba and Hispaniola. Columbus continued exploring the Americas on three subsequent voyages, mapping much of the region. He died in 1506 in Spain after being stranded in Jamaica during his final voyage.
The Monroe Doctrine was a US foreign policy introduced in 1823 that stated the Americas should be free from future European colonization and that the US would view any European power's attempt to oppress or control independent countries in North or South America as hostile to the US. It was influenced by Britain and helped establish the US-UK special relationship by aligning their interests. While initially the doctrine strengthened newly independent Latin American countries, later extensions like the Roosevelt Corollary were criticized for enabling US imperialism in the region through military intervention.
The document summarizes major events in the Cold War between 1945-1962, including:
1) The USSR took control of Eastern Europe after WWII and established communist satellite states, while over 15 million people fled westward.
2) The Yalta and Potsdam conferences divided Germany and Europe into Soviet and Western spheres of influence.
3) The Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan aimed to contain communist expansion in Europe through aid and economic integration.
4) The USSR developed nuclear weapons and tensions escalated during crises like the Berlin Blockade, Korean War, and Cuban Missile Crisis.
John F. Kennedy served as president from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. His presidency was dubbed "Camelot" and aimed to foster a New Frontier of economic reform. Kennedy met with Khrushchev to discuss Berlin but two months later the Berlin Wall was erected. The failed Bay of Pigs invasion aimed to overthrow Fidel Castro in Cuba but ended with Cuban forces being killed or captured. The Cuban Missile Crisis, where the Soviet Union installed nuclear missiles in Cuba, brought the U.S. and Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear war until a deal was struck for the Soviets to remove the missiles.
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492, hoping to find a western route to Asia. He landed in the Bahamas, believing he had reached Asia, and proceeded to explore other islands in the Caribbean. Upon returning to Spain, he received a hero's welcome, having brought knowledge of a "New World" across the ocean. However, conflicts arose regarding his treatment of the native populations and he faced accusations of mismanagement, eventually losing favor with the Spanish monarchs.
The Space Race began in 1957 after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world's first artificial satellite, demonstrating their technological superiority and ability to launch weapons globally. This kicked off a competition between the US and USSR to demonstrate dominance in space exploration through achievements like being the first to launch humans and land on the Moon. While initially a symbol of political and military rivalry during the Cold War, the two sides eventually cooperated on joint space missions, turning their competition into a partnership.
The Vietnam War lasted from 1954 to 1975 and involved military engagement between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, with the United States backing South Vietnam. France had previously controlled Vietnam but withdrew after their defeat at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. This led to Vietnam being divided along the 17th parallel, with communist North Vietnam controlling the north and US-backed South Vietnam controlling the south. Tensions rose and the US became increasingly involved, sending military advisors to support South Vietnam against North Vietnam and communist Viet Cong forces in the south. Major events of the war included the Gulf of Tonkin incident leading to increased US bombing of North Vietnam, the Tet Offensive of 1968, and the fall of Saigon in 1975 when North Vietnam defeated
This document summarizes the four voyages of Christopher Columbus:
1) The first voyage departed from the Canary Islands in September 1492 and experienced difficulties including crew unrest and navigational challenges.
2) The second voyage departed from Cadiz in 1493 with the goal of exploring, colonizing, and spreading Catholicism to the territories discovered on the first voyage.
3) The third voyage departed from Sanlucar de Barrameda in 1498, making various stops in the Caribbean and along the coasts of present-day Venezuela and Trinidad.
4) The fourth and final voyage departed from Seville in 1502, exploring the coasts of Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa
Christopher Columbus made four trips to the Caribbean and South America between 1492 and 1504 in an attempt to find a route to India to trade for spices. On his first trip in 1492, Columbus led an expedition of three ships and landed on an island he named San Salvador. Columbus established a colony on Hispaniola during his second trip in 1493-1496 and explored Cuba and other islands. During his third trip from 1498-1500, Columbus explored South America, becoming the first European since the Vikings to reach the mainland of North America. Columbus's fourth and final trip from 1502-1504 took him to Central America and Jamaica before he returned to Spain.

Presentation on Kim Jong-un's 8 Most Ridiculous Splurges
1.
2. Kim Jong-un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, is one of the most polarizing figures in the
entire world. Kim is a person that people love to hate (just watch “The Interview”). He assumed
leadership when his father, Kim Jong II, passed away after two decades as the Supreme
Leader. Widely criticized for his lavish spending at the expense of North Korean citizens, it’s no
surprise that Kim has a long list of enemies.
Kim’s power allows him to technically do whatever he wants, but as so many have seen, his
decisions are not always ethical or right. The United Nations recently discovered that Kim’s
spending on luxury goods eclipses the entire GDP of the North Korean people.
While many world leaders are accustomed to leading luxurious lives, they do so with sound
mind, as their country is financially stable. However, Kim takes unethical spending to a new
level as North Korea is filled with economic downfall and poverty. What exactly is Kim
spending money on that could be used to help the people of North Korea? We found eight of
Kim’s most ridiculous splurges, starting with a long list of imported drinks.
8 Of Kim Jong-un’s Most Ridiculous Splurges
3. Who doesn’t enjoy some premium liquor every now and then? Well, this lavish expense is an
everyday occurrence for Kim Jong-un. Kim indulges in some of the finest drinks in the world.
What are his two favorite drinks? Whiskey and cognac, both of which he has imported from
around the world.
When Kim isn’t feeling too luxurious, he likes to drink Johnnie Walker whiskey. As the country of
North Korea continues to struggle, the Supreme Leader ships thousands of bottles of liquor into
his own personal kingdom for his enjoyment alone. Kim’s enjoyment, however, doesn’t stop
there. He also likes a cigarette to go with his whiskey, and Yves Saint Laurent are his favorite,
which he also imports into the country.

4. One story that the rest of the world finds hilarious about Kim Jong-un’s father, Kim Jong II, is the
tale of his (obviously fabricated) historic golf records. It was said that Kim’s father once shot a
round of just 34 strokes in the capital of North Korea (Pyongyang), which included an
impressive 11 holes in one. That’s right, Kim II said that he shot an ace on the golf course not
once, but 11 times. He made the claim in real golf, too, not putt putt where a few aces on the
course are a given.
Despite the hilarious claims, Kim II’s love for the game has been passed onto Kim Jong-un,
who has access to the finest private golf courses that his people can make. Thankfully, the
claims of impossibly low scores haven’t been as pronounced for Kim as they were for his
father, at least not yet. We’re just waiting for the day that Kim claims that he beat his father’s
record by sinking 12 aces in one round of golf.

5. Kim spent a massive amount on building a private ski resort named Masikryong. The resort was
built on Taehwa Peak and was the brainchild of Kim, who wanted to increase tourism in his
country. The resort was meant to help North Korea’s tourism industry go from 200,000 visitors
per year to over 1 million, but that money probably could have been spent on something
better.
When you consider that North Korea does not get much snow, the ski resort seems downright
ridiculous. The resort spans an incredible 70 miles, and Kim likes to spend a lot of his time
there, even when there is nothing but green grass on the slopes. Much of the massive resort is
empty throughout the year, especially when Kim is on one of his private vacations— during
which time visitors are not allowed.

6. Kim Jong-un likes to take to the seas once in a while, so apparently it was absolutely
necessary for him to spend more than $7 million on a yacht. At almost 100 feet long, the Fendi-
designed yacht is considered to be the nicest that Princess has ever built. The yacht even
features a saloon for Kim to drink some of that expensive imported liquor.
In true Kim fashion, he was able to get his hands on the yacht before it was released to the
public. Kim’s family owns almost all of the territory in the southwest part of North Korea, and
Kim uses the yacht to travel up and down the coast to observe those in his native land.

7. It’s not just fine liquor that Kim likes to spoil himself with, as his gluttony crosses over into food
as well. Kim imports his food from many different parts of the world, none of which includes the
rice or noodles that the people of North Korea feel fortunate enough to eat on rare occasions.
Kim opts for pork straight from Denmark and caviar shipped in from Iran. If Kim wants to eat
something a bit more scaled down like mangoes, he gets them shipped in from Thailand.
The amount of money Kim spends on imported food is very off putting, especially when you
consider how many people are starving in North Korea. It is estimated that since the 1990’s,
millions have died from hunger despite the United Nations sending many rations for the
people. Of course, Kim has consistently denied that a food shortage has been a problem in his
country, but everyone else has said otherwise.

8. How many pianos do you think the average person owns? In pretty much every house in the
world, there is no more than one piano sitting in the living room. For Kim, it’s a completely
different story as he owns more than 20 pianos for his multiple homes. While Kim’s piano skill
level is unknown, we imagine that it’s safe to assume that he’s a far cry from Elton John or Billy
Joel.
Kim likes to take his workers along with him when he goes shopping for a new piano. Why? Our
best guess is that he likes hearing them say that he’s the greatest player ever and that any
missed note is the fault of the piano. Maybe one day Kim will showcase his piano talents to the
world and we can see for ourselves who to blame: Kim or the piano.

9. Kim has been a huge fan of cars ever since he was seven years old, which was when his father
allowed him to start driving. As the future dictator of the country, Kim was able to get his hands
on any car that he wanted simply by asking his father for it. Because of this early interest and
accessibility, Kim’s car collection has consistently grown over the years. Today, it’s estimated
that Kim has over 100 cars at his disposal.
Kim’s favorite model of car is the Mercedes Benz line, which his father was also quite fond of.
Kim also has a collection of race cars, but we probably won’t be seeing him on the NASCAR
circuit anytime soon. However, the North Korean media would have you believe otherwise, as
they have often stated that Kim was a master race car driver by the age of three years old,
which is four years before he reportedly started driving.

10. How many friends do you usually invite to see a movie, whether it’s at your house or the
theater? Kim Jong-un is able to invite up to 1,000 people to see a private screening in his own
luxury cinema. The total cost for the project was nearly $200,000 and we are fairly certain he
hasn’t showed “The Interview”.
Kim even has concessions available in his theater. It must be a lot of pressure to be the person
that makes Kim’s popcorn, as one misplaced drop of butter could be the last thing that they
ever do. Kim has spent a lot of money on a lot of useless things, but this could be one of the
worst, especially when no one else in North Korea has their own cinema, much less popcorn.
