Following the 9/11 attacks, the US and UK needed to conduct diplomatic discussions to allow military forces to use bases like Diego Garcia in the Chagos Archipelago for the War on Terror. The return of native islanders to Diego Garcia was a contentious issue discussed. Chuck Wilson led a 25-person US delegation that successfully negotiated an agreement with the UK on use of the base and resolving differences between the two countries. The document then provides photos from Diego Garcia related to the military base, surrounding areas, and historical plantation ruins.

3, results of the gulf war
The Gulf War resulted in a successful military operation that removed Iraqi forces from Kuwait and restored the Al-Sabah family to power. However, it did little to bring stability to the Middle East. While allied casualties were low, Iraqi casualties were estimated to be between 20,000-200,000 deaths. Iraq's infrastructure and environment suffered extensive damage. The war strengthened US influence in the region but also increased anti-American sentiment in some Muslim communities. It failed to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq.
Persian gulf war,etc
The United States has had significant political and economic interests in the Middle East for over a century due to large oil supplies in the region that are important for the US energy supply. This led the US to join a UN coalition to expel Iraq from Kuwait in the 1990 Gulf War after Iraq invaded to control Kuwait's oil. Subsequently, the US invaded Afghanistan in 2001 to defeat al-Qaeda and the Taliban government that supported it following 9/11, and invaded Iraq in 2003 over claims Iraq had WMDs and ties to terrorism. US troops remain engaged in both countries today.
Dirty Sexy Money [AKA The Gilded Age]
This document discusses the Gilded Age in the United States following the Civil War, including the rise of robber barons in industries like railroads and oil where monopolies formed. It also mentions the growth of cities, political machines that formed, and various labor issues and strikes that arose during this time period including the Haymarket Square riot, the Homestead strike, the Pullman strike, and Coxey's Army. New technologies and mass production helped drive industrialization and rise of conspicuous consumption.
Hydrography on Canada's West Coast
This document provides a summary of Thomas McCulloch's career in hydrographic surveying of British Columbia waters and the Canadian Western Arctic from 1953 to 1967. It describes some of the key survey areas, including Porcher Island, Kitkatla Inlet, Vancouver Island, the Queen Charlotte Islands, Hecate Strait, and the Canadian Western Arctic. It also shows photographs of survey ships and crews during expeditions and the establishment of Decca navigation stations to aid in offshore positioning. The presentation highlights both the operational areas surveyed each year and McCulloch's satisfaction after 15 years of difficult but rewarding hydrographic work.

This document lists 23 questions about three topics related to history: The Cold War, the Atlantic Slave Trade, and Migration and Empire. The questions ask about reasons for opposition to the Vietnam War, events leading to the Warsaw Pact, American tactics in Vietnam, the roles of the US and USSR in the Cuban Missile Crisis, efforts to reduce Cold War tensions, the meaning of the "Cold War", how people became slaves, how abolitionists sought to end slavery, how slaves were sold, the stages of the Triangular Trade, conditions during the Middle Passage, what happened to slaves after the Middle Passage, how Britain profited from slavery, and tactics used to oppose slavery. It also asks about Irish immigration to Scotland
Battle of Bunker Hill
The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775 in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The British forces of 2,400 soldiers led by Generals Howe and Gage attacked 1,500 American colonial troops led by Generals Ward, Putnam, and Warren, who were stationed on Breed's Hill. After two failed attacks that resulted in heavy British casualties, the British launched a third strike once they realized the colonial forces were out of ammunition, forcing the colonists to finally retreat. Though the British gained control of the area, it came at a high cost of 1,150 British soldiers killed or wounded compared to 450 colonial casualties.

This document lists 15 potential essay questions that ask students to analyze the extent to which certain factors were the main reasons for historical events and outcomes related to the Cold War, Atlantic slave trade, and Scottish migration and empire. The questions probe ideology, economics, leadership actions, military tactics, political opposition, poverty, religion, resistance, and immigration impacts on different countries and the world.
Siege of boston
The Battle of Bunker Hill began on June 17, 1775 when the British attacked the Americans who had fortified Breed's Hill and Bunker Hill in Charlestown. It was a bloody battle that resulted in over 1,000 British casualties compared to around 400 American casualties. Though the British were victorious in taking the hills, it was a pyrrhic victory and showed the resilience of the colonial forces. Washington then sent men to capture weapons from the lightly defended Fort Ticonderoga, which they used the following year to force the British to evacuate Boston by placing artillery on Dorchester Heights.

5.4 The War Of 1812
The War of 1812 began as American nationalism grew and the British continued impressing American sailors and supporting Native American attacks on American settlers. While the early battles mostly favored Britain, key American victories like Perry's victory on Lake Erie and Jackson's victory at New Orleans boosted American morale. Though the Treaty of Ghent ended the war before these final American victories, many Americans saw the war as vindicating the nation's honor against Britain.
The Battle of Bunker Hill
The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775 on the Charlestown peninsula as the first official battle of the Revolutionary War, where rebel Israel Putnam famously told his men not to fire until they saw the whites of the British eyes. Though the British suffered heavier casualties, they were ultimately victorious over the colonists who ran out of ammunition and resorted to throwing rocks and glass during the intense battle led by British General William Howe from June 16-17, 1775.
Westward expansion after the civil war
Westward expansion transformed America after the Civil War through mining, railroads, cattle ranching, and homesteading. The transcontinental railroad connected the country, while mining for gold and other metals led to boomtowns. Cattle drives and cowboys supported the beef industry. The Homestead Act encouraged settlement of the Great Plains, though conflicts arose with Native Americans over land. Native Americans faced difficulties on reservations and conflicts like the Battle of Little Bighorn and Wounded Knee massacre.

This document provides 20 history exam questions across three topics: The Cold War, The Atlantic Slave Trade, and Migration and Empire. The Cold War questions ask about key events and developments that increased tensions between East and West, challenges the US faced in Vietnam, and reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union and construction of the Berlin Wall. The Atlantic Slave Trade questions focus on opposition to and abolition of slavery in Britain and plantations in the Americas. The final section's questions examine Irish and Scottish migration patterns between the 18th-19th centuries and their impact on destination countries.
Prince whipple
Prince Whipple was kidnapped at age 10 while being sent to America and was sold by the ship's captain. He was granted freedom on his birthday and purchased by William Whipple in Baltimore. Prince Whipple went on to serve as William Whipple's bodyguard and fight in important battles of the Revolutionary War such as the crossing of the Delaware River.

The document contains summaries of several current events articles written by students:
1. Somali pirates attacked a ship owned by a Long Island company but the ship was saved by the U.S. Navy. The ship owner said the pirates fired rocket propelled grenades and machine guns.
2. The new Yankee Stadium has over 1,500 wheelchair accessible seats and 530 companion seats allowing non-disabled guests to sit with wheelchair users, addressing accessibility issues the old stadium faced.
3. An earthquake in Italy killed over 200 people and left 11 still missing. Sniffer dogs were used in search efforts while over 17,000 residents had to live in tents due to the damage.
Ethnic Conflict
The document provides historical context for conflict between ethnic groups in Rwanda:
- Rwanda has two main ethnic groups, the Hutu majority and Tutsi minority, who migrated from different parts of Africa.
- Under Belgian colonial rule from 1916-1962, the Tutsis gained privileges over the Hutus through a system of ethnic identification cards. This exacerbated existing tensions between the groups.
- After Rwanda gained independence in 1962, the Hutus took power and discriminated against Tutsis, leading to growing resentment and violence between the groups in the following decades.
Taming the Heartland
The Pacific Railroad Acts of 1862-1865 chartered the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads to build the transcontinental railroad. The railroads received loans of $16,000-$48,000 per mile of track laid and 10 square miles of land for each mile built. The railroad was completed in 1869, connecting the eastern and western United States by rail and enabling the transport of cattle from Texas to markets in the central plains. Ranchers began fencing in their land with barbed wire and raising more docile breeds of cattle as long cattle drives became impractical. Farming technologies like steel plows, mechanical reapers, and grain drills helped make farming the prairie lands viable.
Era of the Great War - Defence of the Realm Act (DORA)
The Defence of the Realm Act (DORA) gave the British government wide-ranging powers during World War 1 to control many aspects of public life that could impact the war effort. It imposed restrictions on public discussions, newspapers, personal correspondence, movement in certain areas, and activities like kite flying. People who broke rules could face fines or imprisonment, and some foreign spies were executed under DORA. While many saw it as necessary to secure victory, others criticized DORA as going too far in limiting civil liberties and individual freedoms. There were concerns the government would not want to give up its expanded powers after the war ended.

Source A provides a first-hand account from a slave ship captain in 1795 describing the harsh conditions slaves faced onboard, including being chained, whipped, and many dying from mistreatment, poor food, and disease. This makes it a very useful source for understanding the experiences of slaves during the Middle Passage.
Obama
Barack Obama was elected president in 2008, becoming the first black president in US history. He inherited ongoing wars and a struggling economy from George W. Bush's administration. During his presidency, Obama worked to reform healthcare, approved the mission that killed Osama bin Laden, and dealt with high national debt, though his full legacy is still to be determined.

General Gage, the British commander in chief in the colonies, planned to launch a surprise attack on colonial military supplies in Concord to undermine the rebel movement. Paul Revere was warned of the plan and rode through the night to sound the alarm in Lexington, warning John Hancock and Samuel Adams. Revere was eventually captured by British soldiers but managed to spread word of the attack first. The next day, British troops engaged the colonial militia in Lexington, firing the first shots of the American Revolutionary War.
Bunker Hill And Breed’S Hill
The Patriots fortified Breed's Hill overnight by digging trenches. With little gunpowder and training, they had to make every shot count against the British forces at the Battle of Bunker Hill the next day. Although the British were victorious on their third assault by overrunning the revolutionary defenses, they suffered over 1,000 casualties. The battle demonstrated the Americans' willingness to engage the British in direct combat.
Hurricane
The document describes three major hurricanes: Hurricane Andrew which struck the Bahamas and southern USA in 1992, causing $26.5 billion in damage and 56 deaths; Hurricane Charley which hit Florida and the Carolinas in 2004, resulting in $16.3 billion in losses and 35 fatalities; and Hurricane Hugo which impacted the Caribbean and eastern USA in 1989, killing 56 people and causing $10 billion in damage.

Source A fully describes the reasons for William Wilberforce's campaign to abolish the British slave trade. It explains that John Newton convinced Wilberforce to join the abolitionist cause and that Wilberforce used evidence gathered by abolitionists to try to persuade Parliament over 18 years, failing at first due to opposition from slave traders.
Settling the west
After the Civil War, settlers moved West seeking opportunities in mining, farming, and ranching, though life was difficult and the landscape harsh. Railroads accelerated westward migration and the transport of cattle during this period. As settlers increasingly moved onto lands inhabited by Native Americans, many tribes lost their homelands and way of life, culminating in broken treaties, forced relocations to reservations, and ultimately armed conflicts such as the Battle of Little Bighorn and Wounded Knee Massacre.
Test
The document summarizes the British Invasion of the 1960s when rock and roll groups from Britain like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones had a major influence on American music. It describes how Mr. Ailk had the first British song to reach #1 on the Billboard charts and The Tornadoes followed with "Telstar." The Beatles rose to fame after their appearance on The Ed Sullivan show in 1964 which sparked "Beatlemania." The Rolling Stones and other British artists also saw success in the United States and helped bring American music out of a slump by providing something fresh. The British influence on American music has continued into modern times.
Iraq
The document discusses several key events in Iraq's history including foreign occupations from the 1600s to 2003, the main ethnic and religious groups, and Saddam Hussein's rise to power in 1979. It also summarizes US involvement in Iraq including the 1991 Gulf War to liberate Kuwait after Iraq's invasion, establishing no-fly zones, and the 2003 war launched under the rationales of WMDs and terrorism links that ultimately proved false. Main post-war issues in Iraq centered around government, security, economy, and the 2011 US troop withdrawal.

- 1. US-UK BILATERALS OVERSEAS TERRITORIES Provided by Chuck Wilson
- 2. Provided by Chuck Wilson Immediately following the 9/11 attacks upon the United States the Armed Forces of both the U.S. and Allied Coalition needed to deploy and conduct operations. Extensive Diplomacy needed to occur to make possible bed-down, basing and overflight, by these forces, to get to the theater of operations. Leading the effort was the State Department’s Bureau of Political & Military Affairs. One of the many bilateral discussions dealt with the Chagos Archipelago, Diego Garcia (DGAR). In light of security of both ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM operations, the return of the DGAR native islanders was quite contentious. Weapons storage, Government Contractors, facilities and the environment were also issues Leading the 25-person US Delegation was Chuck Wilson who was successful in coming to agreement with the UK on the resolution of differences between the two countries. These are but a few pictures of the many Bi-Lateral discussions, and DGAR. OVERVIEW
