Veterans Day originated as "Armistice Day" on November 11, 1919 to honor veterans of World War I on the anniversary of the end of that war. Over time, as more wars produced more veterans, the holiday evolved to honor veterans of all wars. Congress passed legislation in 1954 changing the name to Veterans Day to have a day to pay homage to veterans of all US wars. The observance date changed a few times before being set as November 11 in 1978 to honor the original intent of the holiday.

1. The document discusses the alliances and leanings of the United States during World War I, with Americans divided between sympathizing with Britain and Germany due to cultural and ethnic ties.
2. It also outlines the naval blockade imposed by Britain on Germany, Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare campaign, and the sinking of civilian ships like the Lusitania that increased pro-Allied sentiment in the US.
3. Trade relationships shifted greatly during this period, with US trade with the Allies like Britain skyrocketing as the US became an important supplier of munitions and raw materials, while trade with Germany declined sharply.
Vietnam war 2
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed in 1964 authorized the bombing of North Vietnam which began in 1965. The first US ground troops arrived in South Vietnam also in 1965. Guerilla tactics made the Viet Cong difficult to identify as enemies. In 1968 during Lunar New Year ceasefire, the North Vietnamese launched surprise attacks shocking US forces. The My Lai Massacre in 1968 involved the killing of hundreds of South Vietnamese civilians by US soldiers and increased global outrage against the war. Peace talks began in Paris in 1968 but stalled, and the US began withdrawing troops under Nixon and a peace agreement was reached in 1973, though fighting continued until South Vietnam fell to the North in 1975.
Roots of Vietnam War
Vietnam had been a French colony but was occupied by Japan during WWII. After the war, nationalist Ho Chi Minh declared an independent Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the north. This led to a war between Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh forces and the French-backed State of Vietnam in the south. The Geneva Accords temporarily divided Vietnam in 1954 along the 17th parallel. However, the division led to conflict between communist North Vietnam and U.S.-supported South Vietnam under Ngo Dinh Diem. U.S. involvement escalated throughout the early 1960s, with over 500,000 U.S. troops fighting in Vietnam by 1967.

Vietnam War Background
Ho Chi Minh led Vietnam to declare independence from France in 1945.

The US supported the anti-communist South Vietnamese leader Ngo Dinh Diem and began training the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN). Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh built up North Vietnam's army and Viet Cong guerrilla fighters in the South. In 1964, alleged attacks by North Vietnam

It began as a war between Vietnam and France, which led to the country being divided along the 17th parallel in 1954.

Vietnam Research Paper
The Vietnam War was a significant event in American history that sparked widespread protests. The Viet Cong relied on the Ho Chi Minh Trail to transport supplies through jungles and tunnels to evade American and South Vietnamese forces. The US used helicopters and defoliating agents like Agent Orange, dropping over 19 million gallons to expose the enemy. The Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 led to increased US involvement after reported attacks on US ships.

Mass protests erupted over the expansion of the war into Cambodia and the killing of students at Kent State and Jackson State
Cold War 1st Period Guyer
The Cold War was a geopolitical conflict between the United States and Soviet Union that began after World War 2 and ended in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Though no direct military battles occurred between the two superpowers, they engaged in espionage, propaganda, arms buildups, and proxy wars around the world.

As a result, the threat of nuclear conflict has so far prevented the outbreak of the fourth world war.
VIETNAM WAR - THE BATTLE OF DIEN BIEN PHU
The Battle of Dien Bien Phu marked the end of French control over Vietnam.

This victory led to French withdrawal from Vietnam and growing US involvement to stop the spread of communism in Southeast Asia.

Rome then fought the Punic Wars against Carthage and dealt with conflicts between social classes. Julius Caesar's civil war and subsequent assassination disrupted the republic. His adopted heir Octavian defeated Marc Antony and Cleopatra, becoming the first Roman emperor Caesar Augustus and establishing the long-lasting Pax Romana. However, Rome eventually declined due to invasions, economic troubles, overexpansion, and the rise of the Eastern Empire.
Roman Republic
The document provides background information on the founding and early history of Rome. It describes how, according to legend, Romulus and Remus founded Rome after being raised by a she-wolf. In reality, Rome was built between 1000-500 BC by the Latin people along the Tiber River in a strategic location. The city grew powerful under Etruscan kings but the Romans revolted in 509 BC and established a republic. The republic was ruled by consuls, senators, and citizen assemblies and expanded Rome's territory through military conquests.

The Post-Civil War Years, 1869-1915
Although Memorial Day ceremonies in tbe years immediately following
the Civil War often reflected the country's sectional divisions, the Memo-
rial Day of tbe mid-1890s was a considerably different holiday from what
it had been twenty years earlier. By that time, the trend toward reconcili-
ation of North and South was well advanced and the Spanish-American
War further hastened the nation along the path to sectional accord and
national unity. All the while. Memorial Day was evolving, a process that is
best observed on the local level. As a result. Memorial Day became a
more popular and less reverential day, joining the Fourth of July as the
country's only other "national" holiday. It continued to evolve during the
first decade of the twentieth century. Overall, the holiday became more
inclusive by embracing a larger segment of the community. Nevertheless,
there were those who found the standard celebration not altogether satis-
factory and elected to observe Memorial Day in their own fashion.

Memorial Day ceremonies mirrored, and, in a small way at least, helped
to advance the long-term trend to North-South unity. At first, though,
fears were expressed in some quarters that the holiday might in fact en-
courage sectional discord. In 1869, for instance, the New York Times
editorialized that Memorial Day:
Is an appeal to the patriotism of one section at the expense of the pride and
feeling of the other section. It is a memorial of the triumph of Northern loyalty
over Southern rebellion. It is a method of reminding the North that it is a con-
queror, and the South that it is conquered. . . . As managed by revered gentlemen
here and at Washington, and elsewhere, it is an occasion for heaping epithets of
infamy upon one set of graves while piling flowers upon another set- for reviving
the bitter memories of conflict, scattering fresh the seeds of hate. . . . Such a
ceremony. . . . is utterly incompatible with that restoration of cordial feelings

between the people of two sections, which alone can impart lasting vitality and
strength to the Union.'
Others agreed, and as late as 1883 the New York Tribune insisted that it
"is unwise and indecent to take the old grievances out of their graves
once a year," but "so long as the day is celebrated as it is now, that will
inevitably be done."^
Nor were such criticisms without a certain degree of merit. For ex-
ample, incidents that stirred sectional animosities had occurred on Me-
morial Day at Arlington National Cemetery. In 1869, by prior agreement
with the GAR, no flowers were to be placed on the gravesites of Confed-
erates at Arlington. But when a woman, defying the agreement, placed
blossoms on those sites, a Marine lieutenant, on guard at the time, stamped
on them and then dispersed a gathering crowd. The incident, as it turned
out, elicited considerable criticism of the GAR. The next year, "mischie-
