Vietnam and us society
The Vietnam War was the first televised war, and television coverage played a major role in shifting US public opinion against the war. Initially, TV portrayed the US in a positive light but starting in 1967, as footage of casualties and atrocities increased, coverage became more critical of US involvement. The Tet Offensive of 1968 was a turning point where victories in Vietnam were overshadowed by changing attitudes at home. The draft brought the war into American homes and society, fueling further dissent. By 1969, massive protests and counterculture events expressed widespread anti-war sentiment in the United States.
NAFTA and USMCA From OUTsourcing to BACKsourcing.pptx
The documents discuss immigration trends in the US, particularly along the US-Mexico border. Several key points:
1) The US continues to attract the most immigrants worldwide, despite globalization and outsourcing. The US-Mexico border spans 2000 miles and sees over 250 million border crossings annually.
2) While European immigration dominated in the early 20th century, most modern immigrants come from Latin America and Asia, particularly Mexico. Immigrants tend to settle near the southwest border or in major coastal cities.
3) There are estimated to be over 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US, over half from Mexico, many traveling solo for work. Undocumented immigrants cluster near the southwest border.

Battle of Britain and the Blitz 1940.pptx
Winston Churchill gave a speech expressing confidence that Britain would defend itself from the Nazi threat through resolve and sacrifice if necessary. He stated Britain would fight on beaches, landing grounds, fields, streets, and hills, and would never surrender. Britain was prepared to continue fighting alone if needed. Hitler then decided to prepare for a potential invasion of Britain to end its resistance. The Battle of Britain occurred from July to October 1940 and was the first major battle to be fought entirely in the air. Through superior technology like radar and an integrated air defense system, Britain was able to defeat the German air attacks and withstand invasion. This first defeat of Nazi Germany marked a turning point in the war.
Taiwan strait
The document discusses the history of tensions in the Taiwan Strait and different policy options for the US regarding Taiwan. It outlines three Taiwan Strait crises from 1954-1996 when China fired missiles near Taiwan in response to Taiwan moving away from the One-China policy. The document then presents three potential solutions or recommendations for US policy: 1) specify in advance a commitment to defend Taiwan, 2) declare punishment for any actor upsetting the status quo, or 3) continue strategic ambiguity to prevent provocation while preserving the status quo. The author does not make a clear recommendation.
Welfare State powerpoint.pptx
The document summarizes the creation of the welfare state in the UK between 1945-1951. It discusses the historical context including proposals from the Liberal party in the early 1900s. It then covers the 1942 Beveridge Report which laid out reforms to address unemployment, poverty, illness, ignorance, and poor housing conditions. This led to the 1945 election where the Labour party campaigned on implementing the Beveridge Report and established the welfare state by passing reforms for social security, healthcare, education, housing, and employment. However, problems with reforms contributed to the Conservatives regaining power in 1951.
Social impact of the great depression and new deal
The document discusses the social impact of the Great Depression and programs under FDR's New Deal. It describes how the Depression affected family life, minorities, and health. It led to increased suicides, domestic violence, and discrimination. The New Deal provided relief through public works programs and social security. It helped the economy by boosting wages and infrastructure but did not fully end unemployment until WWII mobilization increased production and jobs.
Great Depression
The document summarizes the onset of the Great Depression in the United States beginning with the stock market crash of 1929. It describes the struggling economy of the late 1920s due to falling farm prices and consumer spending. The stock market crash signaled the beginning of the Great Depression, causing widespread bank failures and plummeting GDP. Unemployment skyrocketed to 25% by 1933. President Hoover initially believed the economy would recover on its own but as conditions deteriorated he took more action, though it was too little too late to save the economy or his chances of re-election in 1932.
Japanese internment
After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, over 120,000 Japanese Americans living on the west coast, two thirds of whom were U.S. citizens, were forcibly relocated to internment camps in the interior of the country. General John L. DeWitt advocated for their internment due to concerns about potential disloyalty, influenced by his own biases. In February 1942, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 authorizing the removal and exclusion of people from certain areas, and Japanese Americans were forced to report to camps surrounded by barbed wire in remote desert locations. While the Supreme Court upheld the internment in 1944, Fred Korematsu's conviction was later overturned when it was found the Justice Department withheld evidence

Roosevelt, the 32nd president who led the country during the Great Depression and World War II; John F. Kennedy, the 35th president who was assassinated; Ronald Reagan, the 40th president and former actor; and Bill Clinton, the 42nd president.
Black power and Black Panthers
The Black Power Movement grew out of frustrations with the pace of progress of the Civil Rights Movement. Younger black activists felt non-violent protest was no longer effective and advocated for black pride, power, and self-defense. Key leaders included Stokely Carmichael and the Black Panthers. They appealed to urban black youth and sought black political power, pride, and autonomy. While they drew attention to issues facing black communities, their militant tactics damaged the cooperation achieved through non-violent protests and reduced white support for the Civil Rights Movement. Overall, the Black Power Movement had both positive and negative impacts on efforts to achieve racial equality.
Manchuria Cartoon interpretation
The cartoon from 1933 depicts the League of Nations as a doormat, with a Japanese soldier trampling over the League and its covenant while it bows down and welcomes the soldier. A figure representing the British Foreign Secretary powders the League's face in an attempt to save face and make excuses rather than stand up to Japan. The cartoonist David Low criticized the League's leaders for allowing Japan to triumph over the League in Manchuria without consequences.
U9L4: The george w. bush presidency
George W. Bush pursued a conservative domestic agenda after becoming president in 2000, passing tax cuts and education reforms. On September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks dramatically shifted U.S. foreign policy as Bush launched a "war on terror." This included invading Afghanistan to remove the Taliban from power and overthrow al Qaeda, as well as invading Iraq in 2003 over weapons of mass destruction concerns, though none were found. However, the wars contributed to growing budget deficits and divisions within the country.
100 Flower Campaign
Mao established a one-party state in China from 1949-1957 through a series of political changes and campaigns:
1) He suppressed all other political parties and purged potential opponents through accusations of being "counter-revolutionaries" or "imperialists".
2) He instituted "thought reform" through campaigns like studying Mao's writings and public self-criticism to control ideological debate and the party.
3) After encouraging criticism through the Hundred Flowers Campaign, Mao then reversed course and persecuted critics in the Anti-Rightist Campaign, eliminating intellectual opposition and instilling fear in society.
Unit 3 Powerpoint the Progressive Era
The Progressive Era saw reforms that expanded the role of the government in addressing social problems. Muckrakers highlighted issues through investigative journalism, influencing new laws around food safety and workers' rights. Reformers also aimed to make government more democratic and efficient, including by establishing non-partisan city management and tools for direct public participation like initiatives, referendums, and recalls. The era saw debates around trusts, tariffs, and monetary policy that impacted elections and split the Republican Party.
The Great Depression and the New Deal
The document provides an overview of the causes and effects of the Great Depression in the United States from 1929-1940. It discusses several factors that contributed to the economic downturn including overproduction, speculation in the stock market, buying stocks on margin, shaky banking practices, tariffs, and the stock market crash of 1929. The crash led to bank failures and widespread unemployment. Other impacts included the Dust Bowl drought and migration, Mexican repatriation, and the establishment of soup kitchens and shantytowns. President Hoover initially took a hands-off approach but increased spending on projects. Franklin Roosevelt was elected in 1932 and introduced his New Deal program which established relief programs and increased the role of the federal government in stabilizing
WWII causes final.ppt
The document provides an overview of World War II, including key facts and figures. It notes that the war cost the US $330 billion, 10 times the cost of WWI, and led to 50 million deaths total compared to 15 million in WWI. The underlying causes that led to WWII included the harsh Treaty of Versailles, the worldwide depression, the rise of totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany and fascist Italy, and the isolationist policies of major powers that led them to pursue appeasement of dictators. Hitler initially demanded the return of German-speaking lands, invading Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia, before launching lightning fast invasions across Europe using new "Blitzkrieg" tactics. The US provided aid to allies through
Immigration to America
Immigration to America has a long history dating back to colonial times when English settlers first began migrating. Over the centuries, America experienced waves of immigration from different parts of the world, including northern and southern Europe in the mid-19th century, southern and eastern Europe around the early 20th century, and more recently from Latin America and Asia after 1965. While immigration laws and rates have varied over time, the American Dream of achieving prosperity through hard work continues to attract millions of immigrants worldwide to the United States each year.
The Vietnam War ppt
The Vietnam War began in 1954 after France lost control of Vietnam to Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh forces. The country was divided along the 17th parallel, with a communist government in North Vietnam led by Ho Chi Minh and a capitalist government in South Vietnam led by Ngo Dinh Diem. The U.S. initially provided aid to South Vietnam but became increasingly involved in the conflict throughout the 1960s. Heavy U.S. bombing and ground troop deployment failed to defeat North Vietnam and its allies in the South. The Tet Offensive in 1968 marked a turning point that turned U.S. public opinion against the war. The last U.S. troops withdrew in 1973 as North Vietnam defeated South Vietnam in

Protests against U.S. involvement grew as the war dragged on without clear progress. Peace negotiations began in 1973, and U.S. troops withdrew from Vietnam in 1975, with North Vietnam defeating South Vietnam and reunifying the country under communist rule.
Vietnam War Background
Ho Chi Minh led Vietnam to declare independence from France in 1945. The French were eventually defeated in 1954, but the US became involved to contain the spread of communism according to the Domino Theory. The Geneva Accords temporarily divided Vietnam along the 17th parallel. Elections were planned to reunify the country in 1956 but did not occur due to South Vietnam blocking them for fear that Ho Chi Minh would win. 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
The Vietnam Conflict
The Vietnam War began as a conflict between communist North Vietnam and its southern allies, the Viet Cong, against South Vietnam and its ally, the United States. The U.S. goal was to contain communism and support South Vietnam, while North Vietnam aimed to unify Vietnam under communist rule. After the French withdrawal in 1954, the U.S. involvement escalated throughout the 1960s. Despite massive U.S. bombing campaigns and troop increases, the 1968 Tet Offensive showed the war was unwinnable. Growing anti-war sentiment and the release of the Pentagon Papers undermined support for the war. The U.S. withdrew under the 1973 Paris Peace Accords, and North Vietnam unified Vietnam in 1975.

The vietnam war
The document discusses several key questions around the Vietnam War:
1) Vietnam was divided along the 17th parallel in 1955 with North Vietnam led by Ho Chi Minh becoming communist and South Vietnam led by Ngo Dinh Diem becoming a US-backed republic.
2) The US became involved to stop the spread of communism in Southeast Asia and initially sent 16,000 troops by 1963, but involvement escalated greatly over the following years.
3) Many Americans, especially younger people and those in the counterculture movement, opposed the war due to the mounting death toll, civil rights issues, and social changes happening in the US.
The vietnam conflict2shortvers
The document provides an overview of the Vietnam War between 1950-1975. It summarizes the key events, people, and outcomes of the war. The United States aimed to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia, while North Vietnam sought to unite Vietnam under communist rule. After initial US support for South Vietnam, the US gradually escalated its involvement until directly engaging in combat operations. Despite massive bombing campaigns and troop increases, the US was unable to defeat the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces. Growing domestic opposition to the war led to the US withdrawal and the eventual communist takeover of South Vietnam in 1975.
The Vietnam War
The Vietnam War grew out of Vietnam's long history as a French colony. After World War 2, Vietnam was divided into a communist North and democratic South. The US backed South Vietnam in an attempt to contain communism, believing that if South Vietnam fell, other countries would too. Despite US bombing campaigns and search/destroy missions that caused massive casualties, the Viet Cong waged a successful guerrilla war. US involvement became increasingly unpopular as the war dragged on. Ultimately, the US was unable to stop the communist takeover and North Vietnam reunified the country in 1975.

Mass protests against the war grew through the late 1960s, culminating in the Tet Offensive and Nixon's policy of Vietnamization. Domestically, Johnson pursued a Great Society agenda but divisions grew over civil rights amid inner city unrest. Cultural norms shifted significantly as well, with rising social liberalism, counterculture movements, and opposition to established authority.

France controlled Vietnam until the 1940s when Japan took over during World War II. After the war, France tried to reassert control but lost to Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh forces in 1954. The United States initially provided aid to France and later directly intervened in the Vietnam War, escalating troop levels significantly under President Lyndon Johnson after the Gulf of Tonkin Incident.
