Congressional medal of honor
The Congressional Medal of Honor (CMOH) was created in 1862 to recognize valor in the U.S. armed services, and is the highest military decoration. The document provides details on the CMOH's creation and criteria for receiving it, including engaging in action against an enemy of the U.S. or during armed conflict where the U.S. is not a belligerent party. It then lists examples of recipients from the Spanish-American War, WWI, and an Indian War campaign, including their ranks, branches of service, dates and locations of their acts of valor.
World War II Propaganda on the Home Front
A look at the propaganda used on the Home Front during WWII: Movies, Music, Cartoons, and other forms.
WWI
World War I began in 1914 and involved many of the world's leading military and industrial powers. The United States entered the war in 1917 after years of economic assistance to the Allied powers and an incident in which a German submarine sank an American passenger ship. The U.S. mobilized its economy and propaganda to support the war effort and push for American intervention against the Central Powers. After over three years of costly war, an armistice in 1918 brought the conflict to an end.
Lesson 5
The document compares the strengths and weaknesses of the American colonists and the British in the American Revolutionary War, noting that while the British military was larger and better equipped, the Americans benefited from fighting on familiar terrain using guerilla warfare tactics, and their alliance with France and Spain helped balance British naval dominance over time.
Acts of valor (2)
The Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor that can be bestowed upon members of the US armed services. The document then provides details on 5 recipients of the Medal of Honor, including their name, rank, branch of service, and actions taken that earned them the award. These brief descriptions show the award being given for actions like disabling landmines, rescuing comrades under fire, and forcing enemy soldiers to surrender single-handedly.
Douglas MacArthur
Douglas MacArthur was an American general who played a prominent role in the Pacific Theater during WWII. He commanded troops in the Southwest Pacific from 1939-1945, using island hopping tactics against the Japanese. MacArthur received the Medal of Honor for his service in the Philippines Campaign from 1941-1942.

WWII The Home Front
The document discusses the US home front during World War 2. It describes how the US mobilized its economy and workforce for the war effort after Pearl Harbor. Factories retooled to produce weapons, ships, and supplies. The military dramatically expanded through conscription. Minorities faced discrimination but also contributed to the war effort. The government took control of the economy through bodies like the War Production Board to direct resources.
Revolutionary Creole Patriotism in Colonial Spanish America
The document discusses patriotic discourse in Spanish America between 1759-1830, focusing on American-born patriots who led the wars of independence. It examines how to best define these discourses as nationalism or patriotism, comparing the perspectives of Benedict Anderson and Claudio Lomnitz on this topic. The reasons for the independence movements are described as complicated.
World war one
Poetry, propaganda, and music were used during World War 1 to influence public opinion and motivate support for the war effort. Propaganda posters often portrayed the enemy in an absurd or horrible light to encourage action in support of one's country. Songs portrayed fighting in the war as an opportunity for glory and fame or presented a positive view of life after the war to boost soldier morale. These cultural works aimed to unite people behind the war through patriotism and ensuring everyone did their part for the national cause.

Hemingway's "In Another Country"
The document provides background information on Hemingway's short story "In Another Country". It discusses how World War I resulted in unprecedented casualties and injuries due to advancements in weaponry outpacing military tactics. Many soldiers returned home disfigured or with psychological wounds. Hemingway himself served as a Red Cross ambulance driver during World War I and was injured by shell fragments. The story describes the experiences of an American soldier recuperating in a military hospital in Italy after a leg injury, who feels isolated from other wounded soldiers once they believe his medals were merely for being American rather than acts of valor.
25 James Madison
This document provides an overview of key events during the presidency of James Madison, including:
- Tecumseh, a Shawnee leader, formed a Native American confederacy in 1811 to resist American settlement in the Northwest Territory but was defeated by William Henry Harrison at the Battle of Tippecanoe.
- Settlers began raiding towns in Canada in response to British interference with American expansion, effectively starting the War of 1812 between the US and Britain.
- During the War of 1812, British forces burned Washington D.C. in 1814 but were later repelled from Baltimore after the writing of the Star Spangled Banner.
- The decisive American victory at
Progressive Quest 2007
The document discusses President Theodore Roosevelt's Square Deal program and his selection of William Howard Taft as his successor. Taft won the 1908 election easily due to Roosevelt's endorsement. The 1912 election saw Roosevelt run as a third party candidate after splitting with Taft, weakening the Republican vote and allowing Democrat Woodrow Wilson to win the presidency. Wilson pursued progressive reforms like the Federal Reserve Act and 16th Amendment during his first term from 1913-1921. He supported women's suffrage, which became the 19th Amendment, prohibiting sex-based voting restrictions.
The Road to World War II
The document discusses the events leading up to World War II, including the rise of totalitarianism in Europe, Hitler ignoring the Treaty of Versailles, Japan's expansion, and America's attempts to remain neutral through neutrality acts while still supporting the Allied forces. It describes the Lend-Lease program through which the US provided war materials to the Allies starting in 1941 while still officially neutral, marking a shift away from American isolationism.
Progressive Presidents
Progressivism had several effects on the national government in the early 1900s:
- Theodore Roosevelt became president in 1901 and pursued progressive reforms like trust busting and consumer protections.
- William Taft succeeded Roosevelt and also pursued progressive reforms as president from 1909-1913, including expanding federal power over corporations.
- Woodrow Wilson was elected in 1912 as a progressive and enacted reforms like the Federal Reserve Act and Federal Trade Commission.
- These progressive presidents expanded the role and power of the federal government to regulate industry and protect consumers in unprecedented ways compared to earlier administrations.

It also summarizes major developments during the periods of Reconstruction and the buildup to the Civil War.
The Civil Rights Movemen 07
The Civil Rights Movement took place from 1954 to 1968 and sought to end racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans. Key leaders included Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. Major events and accomplishments included the Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling in 1954 declaring segregation unconstitutional, the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955-1956 protesting segregation on buses led by Rosa Parks, the Little Rock Nine integration crisis of 1957, sit-ins starting in 1960 to protest segregated lunch counters, the March on Washington in 1963 where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 banning discrimination and protecting voting rights.
Familiar Themes
The document discusses several themes in American history that have recurred over time, such as economic development through infrastructure projects like the Erie Canal and New York's Tech Valley; states' rights issues seen in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions and Nullification Crisis; the influence of third party candidates; loose interpretations of the Constitution by figures like Hamilton, Jefferson, and others; wartime constitutional issues like the Alien and Sedition Acts and responses to war like the Espionage Act; human rights issues faced by African slaves and Chinese immigrants; transportation innovations like the transcontinental railroad and Panama Canal; women's roles in history; responses to imperialism like the Philippine Revolution; social movements and literature influencing public opinion like Uncle Tom's Cabin and The
The Post War Dream 1919
The Treaty of Versailles punished Germany after World War 1 in several ways:
1. Germany lost overseas territories and land in France.
2. Germany's military was restricted by limiting the army and forbidding the navy and air force.
3. Germany was forced to accept sole responsibility for starting the war and pay $33 billion in reparations.
4. The League of Nations was formed but Germany and Russia were excluded.
Japanese Internment
Executive Order 9066 forced 120,000 Japanese-Americans into internment camps during World War II based on claims of military necessity, though two-thirds were American citizens. The Supreme Court upheld the order in Korematsu v. United States, ruling that the government could deny Japanese people their constitutional rights. Some Japanese-Americans resisted the order by volunteering for the military or renouncing their citizenship.
Spanish American War Notes
The document discusses U.S. imperialism from 1890-1920. It provides reasons for U.S. imperialism, including the industrial revolution which created a need for raw materials and new markets abroad. American nationalism and the closing of the frontier also drove the country to look overseas. The document then discusses specific events that led to the Spanish-American War in 1898, including the Cuban revolt against Spain, U.S. business investments in Cuba being put at risk, and yellow journalism in American newspapers exaggerating stories to drive public support for war.
Presidents and Foreign Policy
The document provides an overview of the foreign policies of various US presidents from George Washington to Richard Nixon. It summarizes key events and doctrines such as the Monroe Doctrine, Roosevelt Corollary, Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, Cold War policies under Kennedy and escalation of US involvement in Vietnam under Johnson and Nixon's Vietnamization strategy.
The Spanish American War
The Spanish-American War began in 1898 over Cuba, which was seeking independence from Spain. Yellow journalism in American newspapers exaggerated Spanish atrocities against Cuban rebels and helped fuel public support for war. The sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor was falsely blamed on Spain and helped propel the U.S. into war. The U.S. defeated Spain within months and gained control of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines as Spanish territories. The war marked America's emergence as a global power.
The Great War
World War I was caused by rising nationalism in European nations and their competition for power and resources, which led to the formation of opposing alliances. Militarism and an arms race escalated tensions as countries expanded their armed forces. Immediate causes of the war included the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist and the chain reaction of countries honoring their alliance obligations by declaring war on each other. Within a month, the major European powers were at war across both Western and Eastern fronts.
Ch 7
This document provides an overview of the physical, cultural, demographic, economic and geopolitical landscapes of South and East Asia. Some key points:
- The region encompasses one quarter of the world's landmass and is home to over half the global population, with China and India alone containing over 2.4 billion people.
- The region has immense physical diversity, from the Himalayas to islands and archipelagos. Climate and vegetation vary widely but the monsoon system plays a crucial role across much of the area.
- Culturally, the region gave rise to Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and other belief systems practiced by over a quarter of humanity. Languages vary widely
The Great Depression
The document discusses several key topics related to the Great Depression:
1. The agricultural crisis in the 1920s due to overproduction which drove down crop prices. This hurt many farmers.
2. President Hoover's response which emphasized individualism and temporary support, believing the economy would fix itself. This approach was seen as insensitive.
3. The stock market crash of 1929 and worsening economy, with unemployment rising to 25% by 1933 and thousands of bank closures.
4. FDR's election in 1932 on promises of a "New Deal" and bold experimentation to address the crisis.

Wars and Foreign Policy
The document outlines major wars and events in United States foreign policy between 1775 and 1992. It discusses the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican-American War, Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, Vietnam War, Gulf War, and Korean War. Key outcomes included establishing the United States as an independent country, expanding its territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and emerging as a global superpower after World War II.
1950s Society and Culture
The document discusses 1950s American society and culture, including the rise of suburbs and conformity. It focuses on Levittown, the first large-scale planned suburb in the US. Levittown helped satisfy the demand for affordable housing following World War II. Over 17,000 houses were built there between 1947-1958 for returning GIs. The homes cost around $6,900 with $100 down. Suburbs like Levittown helped propagate cultural norms of the 1950s by encouraging conformity and traditional gender roles.
The Cold War in Asia
After World War 2, Korea was divided along the 38th parallel, with the Soviet Union occupying the north and the United States occupying the south. In 1950, North Korean Communists invaded South Korea, prompting the UN Security Council to send troops led by the US to support the South. This started the Korean War between the North and South. Although US General MacArthur wanted to expand the war against China, President Truman limited it to Korea. An armistice was eventually signed in 1953, containing communism in Korea without the use of nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, Mao Zedong led a communist revolution in China in 1949, establishing it as a communist state.
The Cold War
The Cold War began after World War 2 as tensions grew between Western nations led by the US and Eastern nations dominated by the Soviet Union. The Soviets set up communist governments in Eastern Europe and divided Germany and Korea. This led to an arms race and conflicts like the Korean War as the two sides competed for influence and tried to contain the spread of the other's ideology through proxies. Key events that defined the Cold War included the Berlin Airlift, formation of NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The New Deal
FDR and the New Deal. FDR was elected in 1932 with 57% of the popular vote on a platform of providing a "New Deal" for Americans suffering from the Great Depression. During his first 100 days in office, Congress passed major New Deal legislation including the AAA, NIRA, CCC, FERA, and Glass-Steagall Act to provide relief, recovery, and reform. However, the Supreme Court struck down some programs as exceeding Congressional authority.
Progressives in Government
Teddy Roosevelt served as President from 1901-1909. As a "trustbuster," he filed numerous antitrust lawsuits to break up large monopolies and ensure fair competition. He intervened in a major coal strike in 1902 to negotiate an agreement that increased miners' pay and established the right to unionize. Roosevelt also established many regulations and consumer protections relating to railroads, food and drugs, and the environment.
Intro to the Progressive Movement
The Progressive movement from 1890-1920 sought to address issues like corrupt business practices and economic issues through reforms. It included diverse groups like muckrakers, women's suffrage activists, labor unions, and those pushing for government reforms. The settlement of the 1902 coal strike was seen as a victory for unions and marked important Progressive era reforms over the following decade around fair treatment for both business and labor.
The Philippines
The document discusses the United States' acquisition and occupation of the Philippines in the late 19th/early 20th century. It summarizes President McKinley's dilemma in deciding whether to grant the Philippines independence, return it to Spain, or maintain control. It also mentions the Filipino insurrection led by Emilio Aguinaldo against American occupation from 1899-1902 and anti-imperialist voices in the U.S. who felt the country should focus on domestic issues rather than taking on overseas territories.
