... many battles between the United States and Japan, including one of the bloodiest battles of World War II, which took place at Okinawa. If allowed to expand, Japan posed a serious threat to the allies. During the war, one of the most brilliant scientists in history, Albert Einstein, hypothesized that if the true power of the atom were released in a weapon, the results would be devastating.

Many government officials felt that such a weapon could put an end to the war. For this reason, in 1942, the United States decided to pursue ...

The human's role in this creation story is to multiply and rule, whereas, humans in the other stories are ruled by the gods or humans are not even mentioned at all. This story is like the other creation stories because they all mention a heaven and earth in some way. Next, the Greek creation story contained many gods. The first god was Chaos. Gaia (Earth) was next and was a place for all of the immortals who lived on Olympus. Tartarus lived in a deep hole inside Earth. Eros was the most good-looking of t ...
... that banks were safe to put money into. To do this he passed the Emergency Banking Act or the “Banking Holiday”, which temporarily closed banks so that they could be examined and reopened, if fit to do so, with a Treasury Department license. Another way that he took charge was by cutting federal workers’ salaries, and veterans’ pensions and benefits, and anything else that would reduce spending. Roosevelt then created the Civilian Conservation Corps, which gave jobs to young Americans, and also diverted their anger at the government. Another major act was the Federal Emergency Relief Act, which gave 500 million dollars to replenish city funds. There ...
... audiences and many Australian films, despite receiving award nominations from the A.F.I., do not achieve the acclaim they deserve from their own local audiences. The cultural American domination is reflected in the high box office returns on American product in cinemas everywhere.

Researching target markets and market testing are foreign and not preferred by Australian filmmakers yet this may be necessary in order to achieve cinema attendance. Some actors in Australia make it clear from the beginning that they don't do publicity, how ...
... of actions the Black Man performed that won him the respect of becoming a soldier. The two differ in that it was to President Lincoln's benefit to enlist Blacks as soldiers when he did. Whereas the later was the Black Man's will to fight for his freedom and prove himself as an equal human being. However, because the Black population was barred from entering the army under a 1792 law(4) the Black Man becoming a soldier was not officially recognized until late 1862. "There was strong anti-Black prejudice among most people in the free states, and in the loyal slave states the idea of arming the Black man was anthema"(1). This statement directly reflects the generally h ...

President Reagan also stated to the press that there was no way for our citizens to get off the island.

... time. This from a colony that was practically starving to death. This is one of the few examples in which the laws in early colonial America were actually not harsh enough. But this was all about to change. By 1611 things were not good in Jamestown. Many more people had died than had survived the harsh east coast winters. People were still frolicking in the streets instead of working hard to ensure their survival. Then Sir Thomas Dale arrives in May of 1611. He was sent to bring discipline among the disorganized colonist, and discipline he brought. He published a set of rules now known as "Dales Laws." Many of these rules called for harsh punishments f ...
... be, we generally don't acknowledge it as much as the carnage and slaughter we are all so use to reding in history books. For an eighteenth-century rebel perhaps, a revolution is more than the actual war in the battlefield. Although it might be a very important facet of it, the physical is but an outcome of ideas and energy that has been building up for years previous to the confrontation. So if the answer to that is a "yes", if indeed an opposing philosophy must go through a series of 'degrees', before it has become threatening enough to live up to its 'revolutionary' name, well then the next obvious question one would have to ask would be, when exactly does ...
