The Suez Crisis Of 1956: The War From Differing Viewpoints
Words: 3197 - Pages: 12.... the 1967 "Six Day War". The positive impact that the United Nations would
have on ending the conflict, through Canada's idea of creating a UN peacekeeping
force to help enforce the ceasefire, was another important outcome.
This paper, however, will not have the goal of examining these specific
events in relation to the war, nor will it try to determine which factors were
most significant. My aim will be to gain a more complete understanding of the
effect of the crisis by reviewing key events of the war from two different
perspectives: the Israeli and the Arab points of view, plus the experiences of
the European powers as well. Through a .....

JFK
Words: 531 - Pages: 2.... was the youngest man elected President and the first Catholic. Just after the election, the Kennedy's second child, John Jr., was born. Kennedy wanted Americans to travel to a more distant destination. In May 1961, after Alan Shepard became the first American astronaut to fly into space, Kennedy asked Congress to spend more money on space exploration, with the goal of landing a man on the moon by the end of the decade. In 1963, clashes between the police and demonstrating blacks in Birmingham, Ala., and elsewhere, especially in the South, induced the president to stress civil rights legislation. Kennedy's new civil rights message inc .....

The New Deal
Words: 1967 - Pages: 8.... That is why the economy did not fall to pieces, although the main reason for the United States getting out of the depression was WWII.
The economy was doing great prior to the stock market crash. People were investing and the country was on the rise. But with such problems as bad investments, bad income distribution, bad banking, bad foreign trade, and over-expansion of credit the stock market crashed and the U.S. was heading to a depression. One of the first Acts to affect the economy was the Emergency Banking Relief Act. This act authorized the Federal Reserve Board to issue more currency. It prohibited a private hoarding of g .....

Alanis Morissette
Words: 413 - Pages: 2.... still a few things she needs. “Are You Still Mad” is a languid rock beat track framing a list of reasons why a former boyfriend might be peeved. However I found this track to be childish and senseless, as its lyrics are not up to the standards of the rest of the album. She sings. “Are you still mad that I flirted wildly? Are you still mad I had a tendency to mother you? Are you still mad that I had one foot out the door? Are you still mad that we slept together even after we had ended it?”
“That I Would Be Good,” a song that is enriched with lovely violins is definitely worth listening. “UR” is a bit folky and one would ev .....

Atomic Bomb
Words: 3011 - Pages: 11.... military warfare uncanny.
No doubt, August 6, 1945 began as any other day. Before it had ended, something dramatic occurred that would change the way nations dealt with each other- perhaps for all time. On this day at 8:15 A.M, the Enola gay- a B-29 superfortress opened its bomb bay doors over Hiroshima, at the time, a military center and the seventh largest city in Japan, and dropped a single weapon with a destructive capacity of biblical proportions. The crew on board and the team of scientists who developed the bomb were not sure whether the weapon would detonate. Nor were they sure what would happen if it did. In the split second .....

American Involvement In The Cuban Revolution
Words: 1050 - Pages: 4.... nation the way it was. By the mid
1950's, however, the middle class had expanded to 33% of the population.
Democracy, as we know it, broke down: the large middle class did not
assert democratic leadership, there was no social militancy in the working
class ranks, and the people found order preferable to disarray. Batista
could no longer legitimize his regime . Failure in the elections of 1954
showed the discontent of the people, and failure in communications with the
United States illustrated its discontent. Finally, opposing forces
confronted Batista's power: there were street protests, confrontations
with the police, assault, sabota .....

Big Bang
Words: 4054 - Pages: 15.... particles known as quarks begin to bond in trios, forming photons, positrons and netrinos and were created along with their antiparticles. There are minuscule amounts of protons and neutrons at this stage; approximately 1 for every one billion photons, neutrinos or electrons (Maffei). The density of the Universe in its first moment of life is thought to have been 1094g/cm3 with the majority of this being radiation. For each billion pairs of these heavy particles (hadrons) that were created, one was spared annihilation due to particle-antiparticle collisions. The remaining particles constitute the majority of our universe today (Nov .....
