- 331: Between the Wars: 1919-1941
- Between the Wars: 1919-1941 United States involvement in World War II was inevitable. Circumstances preceding the entrance of the United States into this foreign conflict proved that she would not be able to avoid active participation. With a government increasingly changing its views from isolationism to internationalism, and with each successive presidency’s administration doing the same, the United States would not be able to hold out from World War II as long as the conflict was waged. It even became obvious, when President Roosevelt reacted to the German blitzkrieg in France by declaring an “unlimited national emergency” in the United States, that ...
- 332: A Farewell To Arms: Experiences And Their Influences
- ... To Arms: Experiences And Their Influences Some experiences cannot be accomplished in our own lives but with the help of literature, readers are able to participate in those experiences and expand their understanding of the world and it’s surroundings. Literature also allows the reader to comprehend the thinking, feelings and rationalizations of different types of people. According to critic, Louise Rosenblatt, literature provides “experiences that would not be either possible or wise to introduce into our own lives” and thus enlarging our “knowledge of the world” and “ability to understand and sympathize with others.” I agree with the statement as I have interpreted it and it is supported by the novel A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway. People today are unable to participate, in their own lives, the experiences of World War 1, but the setting of the war in the novel, A Farewell to Arms, allows the reader to partake in the experiences of the war. In the beginning of the novel, the description ...

- 334: Asian American
- The American Community in the 1900 s to the 1920 s was in fact a totally different generation than its successor not only because of cultural and economic reasons but also because of world events and the rise of technology.

They had an "instilled" set of ideals and values and ... lives were very much affected by the rise of technology.

- 336: Imperial Telecommunications
- Imperialism has existed in the world since the beginning of government all together, but this practice took a dramatic turn in the latter half of the nineteenth century.

- 337: Persian Gulf War-the Feat Of T
- ... by Iraqi dictatorial president Saddam Hussein. His aim was apparently to take control Kuwait's oil reserves (despite its small size Kuwait is a huge oil producer; it has about 10 per cent of the world's oil reserves ). Iraq accused Kuwait, and also the United Arab Emirates, of breaking agreements that limit oil production in the Middle East. According to Saddam Hussein, this brought down world oil prices severely and caused financial loss of billions of dollars in Iraq's annual revenue. Saddam Hussein had the nearly hopeless task of justifying the invasion. He plead the fact that Kuwait had been part of the Ottoman province of Basra, a city in the south of Iraq. However, the Ottoman province collapsed after World War I and today's Iraqi borders were not created until then. There was also a further and more obvious blunder in a bid to justify this illegal invasion. Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, ...
- 338: ... and "Dreamers", the In Poems "The Man He Killed", "Reconciliation", and "Dreamers", the That Man Kills Because He Must In the chosen poems, Thomas Hardy, Walt Whitman, and Sigfried Sassoon each have a common viewpoint: war brings out the worst in man, a feeling buried deep inside the heart. Even with this clotting of the mind due to the twisting ways of war, a flicker of remorse, a dream of someplace, something else still exists within the rational thought. These poems express hope, the hope that war will not be necessary. They show that man only kills because he must, not because of some inbred passion for death. These three authors express this viewpoint in their own ways in their poems: " ...
