Beginings of WWII

The question of when and why World War II began has been a passionate debate for years on end.Many have argued that it was basically a continuation of the First World War witch ended November 11th 1918. Although WWII didn't start until 1939, some say the aggression towards the war started when Japan seized Manchuria fro china. other causes were most definatley Italy's invasion and defeat of Abyssinia, and Adolf Hitler's re-militarization of Germany.

The two dates that often come to mind wen Wold War II is mentioned are July 7th 1937 and September 1st 1939. These dates go back to when a prolonged war between China and Japan and when Germany invaded Poland, which eventually lead to Britain and France declaring war on Hitler's Nazi state in relation. 

Multiple nations were at war with each other fighting for their allies, and or the Axis.

The Effects of the Prohibition

Prohibition changed the society from 1920 until 1933. This was due to the fact that people who were religious saw alcohol it as the "Devil's Drink", and they didn't want people to die from it. The manufacturing, sale, and the transportation of any alcoholic beverage was band. Many countries and the United States adopted it in 1920. Citizens did not agree with the new law and they started  drinking illegally. This lead to people called bootleggers to bring  alcohol illegally into the United States.They created the speakeasies, who were the ones who brought the alcohol and sold it to illegal stores and nightclubs. Here, people that wished to consume alcohol would go to do so. People tried to keep it a secret because if the police found out about the illegally consumption and distribution or the alcohol they would confiscate it and people would get arrested and fined . People were tired of this so they started marching on the street for the Prohibition to be repealed. It was repealed in 1933.

The movie war horse was an emotional roller coaster. The scene when the dad is about to shoot joey and the bot stop him and they all cry is a very intense part of the movie. The boy beileves in joey and put his heart and soul to take care of him. He is very compassionate. when they reunite it is like you are connected to them and feel what they are feeling.

WAR HORSE- CINEMATIC

The movie War Horse has lively and graphic scenes that catch the audiences eye. There are many factors that help to make the movie so discreet it feels as though you are connected to the characters and are in the scenes that are taking place.  For instance, The music played as te horse "joey" plows the fields makes you feel as if you are in that moment accomplishing something with him. Also the outfits they wore also brought out the time period they were in. The sunset at the end was breathtaking. The way the camera was able to capture the lighting was impeccable. Also when the war was taking place the sound of the bombs and guns were so distinct you felt like you were fighting in the war.

USA and Philippines

After its defeat in the Spanish American War of 1898, Spain released its longtime colony of the Philippines to the United States in the Treaty of Paris. On February 4, 1899, just two days before the U.S. Senate ratified the treaty, fighting broke out between American forces and Filipino nationalists led by Emilio Aguinaldo who sought independence rather than a change in colonial rulers. The ensuing Philippine-American War lasted three years and resulted in the death of over 4,200 American and over 20,000 Filipino combatants. As many as 200,000 Filipino civilians died from violence, famine, and disease.


The United States hoped that they could make a governing nation out of this place and not just a country under Spanish rule.  The United States allowed the Philippines a simple form of independence with the Philippine Organic Act of 1902. The act established a Filipino Constitution which got rid of the island's Spanish political presence, including the Roman Catholic Church. Multiple acts and treaties after granted the Philippines complete independence.

The United States donated over 80 million dollars in relief efforts and also sent multiple soldiers and refugee assistants down to help with damages. 

Picture 4 shows how devastating this natural tragedy truly was. It exemplifies all the debris of what was once peoples homes. Picture 4 also shows a boy standing in the middle of what was left after the storm, probably wondering what his future held now that everything he once had was diminished before him. 

Picture 6 is really an astonishing example of all the simple, yet traumatizing damage the people faced. It shows hundreds of coconut trees uprooted laying on the ground looking as if they were shot down at war. It truly is astonishing how many trees can exemplify such great damage.

Spanish- American war political propagada cartoons

 The Spanish- American war was a war in 1898 between the United states and Spain. The results of the war was that the Americans and the Cubans pretty much won the war. The Cubans won the right to be an independent country away from Spain, and the US was now free to own Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Yellow journalism is a type of journalism that little or no legitimate well-researched news. Propaganda is information of misleading nature used to promote or embarrass a particular political cause or point of view.
