Us history imperialism & the spanish american war
Theodore Roosevelt expanded America's role on the world stage through imperialism and military might during his presidency from 1901-1909. He established the Roosevelt Corollary to expand U.S. influence in Latin America. Roosevelt also grew American naval power by sending the Great White Fleet on a global tour to demonstrate military strength. Additionally, he oversaw the start of construction of the Panama Canal to facilitate trade between the oceans.
Cold wartensionswsoviets
The Cold War began after World War 2 as tensions rose between the Western allies and the Soviet Union. They disagreed on the rebuilding of Europe and other postwar issues. This led to an ideological battle called the Cold War that lasted over 40 years and saw conflicts like the Korean War and Vietnam War, as well as an arms race. The US established institutions like NATO and pursued policies like containment and the Marshall Plan to counter Soviet influence and prevent the spread of communism. The Cold War ended in the late 1980s with the fall of the Berlin Wall and collapse of the Soviet Union.
Hist1302 Week 15
The document summarizes major events and developments in United States history from 2001 to present day, following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It discusses the US response to 9/11, including the War on Terror, the war in Iraq, the rise of the conservative agenda under George W. Bush, and economic issues like corporate scandals and the housing crisis. It also covers Barack Obama's election as the first African American president in 2008 and political divisions in recent years. Key events mentioned include the 9/11 attacks, the Iraq War, Hurricane Katrina, the 2008 and 2010 elections, and the Afghanistan War.
Terrorism 911
This document discusses the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and their aftermath. It provides details on the death toll from 9/11 and the impact on families in New York. It also mentions the backlash against Middle Eastern people after 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq launched by the US in response, and debates around the rationale for the Iraq war.
The Cold War Expands
The Cold War expanded globally through the 1950s as tensions rose between the United States and Soviet Union. They engaged in an arms race, stockpiling nuclear weapons on a massive scale in a strategy of mutually assured destruction. President Eisenhower pursued containment of communism through nuclear deterrence rather than conventional forces. Conflicts erupted in areas like Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and were met with new policies like massive retaliation and the Eisenhower Doctrine. The space race began as the Soviets launched Sputnik, worrying Americans and leading to the creation of NASA.
Unit 5 lesson 3 the cold war expands
The Cold War arms race between the United States and Soviet Union intensified in the 1950s. Both sides raced to develop more powerful nuclear weapons, with each country building stockpiles large enough to destroy the other many times over in the hope that this policy of mutually assured destruction would deter nuclear war. Meanwhile, tensions also rose in space as the Soviets launched Sputnik I, the first artificial satellite, sparking fears of Soviet dominance and prompting increased American efforts to catch up in the space race through the creation of NASA.
Unit 5 lesson 4 the cold war at home
During the Cold War, fear of communism spreading to the United States led to a period known as the Red Scare. President Truman and Congress took actions to investigate and crack down on suspected communist activities and influences within the country. This included the House Un-American Activities Committee holding hearings to investigate areas of society for communist ties. Figures like Alger Hiss and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were prosecuted for communist espionage. Senator Joseph McCarthy further exacerbated tensions by aggressively accusing many Americans of being communist sympathizers without proof, in what became known as McCarthyism. His actions were eventually discredited through televised hearings, helping to ease the Red Scare period in the United States.
The Cold War at Home
As Cold War tensions rose, the United States experienced a period known as the Red Scare where there was widespread fear that communists were infiltrating American society. This led President Truman and the House of Representatives to take aggressive actions to investigate and crack down on suspected communist activities and influences within the government, education system, media, and other institutions. Figures like Joseph McCarthy exploited these fears by falsely accusing Americans of being communist sympathizers, destroying careers and civil liberties through tactics known as McCarthyism until his downfall.

USA and the Red Menace
This document discusses the policy of containment used by the United States to prevent the spread of communism during the Cold War. It describes containment as preventing communist expansion without actively spreading capitalism. The key strategies used included military interventions, alliances like NATO, an arms race, and brinkmanship. During this period, fears of communism led to increased domestic anti-communist actions like investigations by the FBI and HUAC that ruined lives and careers through suspicions and blacklisting. Senator Joseph McCarthy further exploited these fears through unsubstantiated accusations in his anti-communist witch hunts.
The day that i was born
The document provides biographical information about the name Denise, including that it is the feminine form of Denis, derived from the Greek god Dionysus. It also lists notable people and events from June 23rd, including that Edward VIII, the British monarch who abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson, was born on that date in 1894. The moon phase on June 23, 1995 was 3.7 days before the new moon with an illuminated fraction of 0.120.
False Flag Operations in U.S. History
The document discusses several historical events where it is believed the official government accounts of how wars started may have been misleading or false. It suggests that in some cases, such as the Mexican-American War and the Spanish-American War, the US government may have deliberately provoked conflicts or misled the public about their causes, and questions whether internal explosions, rather than external attacks, caused events like the sinking of the USS Maine that precipitated war. It also discusses the Gulf of Tonkin incident and questions whether the reported attacks on US ships actually occurred. The document speculates there may have been advanced warning of the Pearl Harbor and 9/11 attacks but the information was not shared appropriately.
Korematsu v united_states
During World War 2, the U.S. government forcibly relocated people of Japanese descent to internment camps, violating Fred Korematsu's civil rights. Korematsu challenged this action in Korematsu v. United States, arguing it violated his 14th Amendment protections. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled 6-3 in favor of the government, agreeing the need to protect against espionage outweighed the civil rights of Japanese Americans. While some supported the ruling out of wartime fears, others were troubled the government could override constitutional protections.

The document compares conditions in the USSR and US from 1945-1987. It notes that the USSR suffered greatly from WWII with over 8 million war deaths plus 40-90 million deaths from Stalin's purges. In contrast, the US only had around 425,000 war deaths and no major purges. After WWII, the USSR had a large army taking over Eastern Europe while the US army was going home, but the US had developed the atomic bomb. Infrastructure was crumbling in the USSR while manufacturing was strong in the US. By 1950, the USSR had a strong army but weak consumer economy and shortages, while the US had a housing and economic boom. Literacy was almost 100% in both countries by the late 1980sLect 6 cold war america
The document summarizes key events and developments during the Cold War era in America in the 1950s. It discusses the establishment of committees to investigate government employees for loyalty to the US. It also covers major spy cases like Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs. McCarthyism led to accusations of communism without evidence. The arms race between the US and USSR intensified including development of the hydrogen bomb. Eisenhower was elected on a platform of containing communism through a policy of massive retaliation using nuclear weapons. Tensions continued globally including Soviet crackdowns in places like Hungary.
Pearl harbor
The document discusses how if the Japanese had not bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the US may not have entered World War 2. The bombing of Pearl Harbor by 353 Japanese planes in two waves was a surprise attack. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor because the US stopped trading with them, cutting off resources Japan needed for war. If Pearl Harbor hadn't been bombed, the US likely would not have declared war on Japan and entered the European theater, so Germany may have dominated Europe and established Hitler's global "New Order".
The Cold War at Home
The Cold War at Home document discusses the fear of Communist influence that pervaded American society during the Cold War era. It summarizes that the Loyalty Review Board investigated over 3 million federal employees from 1947-1951 for loyalty to the U.S., dismissing 212. The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) subpoenaed many in Hollywood for suspected Communist propaganda. This led to a Hollywood blacklist of around 500 people. Senator Joseph McCarthy falsely accused many Americans of Communist ties without evidence, fueling widespread fears in a period known as McCarthyism.

Reasons the Cold War ended - Role of Ronald Reagan
Ronald Reagan's actions as US President from 1981-1989 helped end the Cold War in the following ways:
1) He significantly increased US military spending and developed new weapons systems, which the Soviet Union could not afford to match, weakening their military power.
2) His Strategic Defense Initiative, known as "Star Wars," aimed to create an anti-missile defense system and terrified the Soviets by potentially making their nuclear weapons obsolete.
3) By meeting with Soviet leader Gorbachev four times between 1985-1988, Reagan built a relationship of trust and they agreed to nuclear arms reductions, lessening tensions and the need for the Cold War.

The document provides an overview of geopolitical issues and trends, including:
1) The US withdrawal from Afghanistan weakened American credibility globally and empowered terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS. China has continued its economic rise while America has spent trillions fighting terrorism and is politically divided.
2) Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan was poorly planned and executed, undermining US leadership and alliances. Meanwhile, China has grown its economy and influence through initiatives like its Belt and Road initiative.
3) Several emerging powers like China, Vietnam, and Singapore have achieved economic success without Western-style democracy, relying instead on authoritarian or single-party rule, challenging the view that democracy is essential for development.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
