Socially the war was not revolutionary because, there was still that one race that was not treated like they belonged and felt like they were taking up space. Politically the war was not revolutionary because, the imprisoned slaves were not allowed to be apart of the Declaration of Independence. Therefore Revolution was both revolutionary and not revolutionary because, of the three stated topics above. The American Revolution was the most important event in the history of the world since the birth of Christ,-stated by Richard Price. The Revolution was revolutionary based on economic factors because, as apart of the empire the colonies were protected from foreign invasion by the British military.
If Truman hadn’t used the bomb the general public would’ve questioned why he wasted so much money and so many American lives by not using the only weapon that could end the war quickly. This would also effect his impression of him to the Americans. Truman could have been convinced that the atomic bomb would not have much of an after effect according to a letter to the President from the US Government War Department: “The bomb has no after effects that we know about, although we are not sure with such a new type of weapon.” This shows that the president did not know there would be such a significant after effect. This reason might have also helped with the decision because Truman did not think that there was going to be an after effect that would affect the future generations of Japan. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima was clearly for trying to stop the war, but according to a booklet published by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in 1985 the bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki was just an experiment to try out the second type of atomic bomb the scientists had
The detriment of the Green Zone within Baghdad was the result of favoritism and political favors. Those chosen to lead the restructuring of Iraq were certainly not done so based on experience or postwar planning capabilities (p.40), but mainly those with the correct party economic agendas (p.70,130). The CPA plan for Iraq didn’t consider the countries needs or past, just the republican bottom line, loyalty to the party (p. 221), and a free market balanced economy backed by foreign corporations (p.178). The CPA agenda was to create a likeness of the United States in the Middle East (p. 211), but ultimately all they accomplished was further entrenching occupational authority into day-to-day Iraqi operations. The CPA whether knowingly or inadvertently always put favoritism, loyalty, and perhaps even cronyism above all else.
Contrary to popular belief, the American Revolution did not bring about change, because the rights, class structure and government remained the status quo in the colonies. For the most part, the rights of the colonists did undergo a transformation because of the Revolutionary War. It is a widely held belief that the war was declared in defense of the natural rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Unfortunately, the war did little in protecting these rights. After the war, there was still no liberty for blacks; in fact, the colonists disliked the idea of granting freedom to Blacks that they refused their offer to fight on the side of the patriots.
So, they immigrated to America to follow their ideals, which are expressed in Document A. They also tried to set up a democracy to show that religion was more important than money, as seen in Documents D and E. The colonists that settled in the Chesapeake region, however, were not as religious and lacked a similar aim. Document C describes the settlers of Virginia as older single men and a few older women. Based on this information, it can be concluded that the Virginian colonists were not planning on staying long in the New World and they were not there to create a democracy. Their main purpose was to dig gold, wash gold, refine gold, load gold, and they would treat the other colonials as slaves to get it (document F).
Americans remembered with hostility the fervor of World War I propaganda efforts, which were later regarded as violating basic rights as well as conveying misinformation. At first, the government was reluctant to engage in propaganda campaigns, but pressure from the media, the business sector and advertisers who wanted direction persuaded the government to take an active role. Regardless, the government insisted that its actions were not propaganda, but a means of providing information. These efforts were slowly and haphazardly formed into a more unified propaganda effort, although never to the level of World War I. President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Office of War Information (OWI) in 1942.

Another Major flaw was that “the country, whose president, Woodrow Wilson, had dreamt up the idea of the League - America -, refused to join it.” The league’s most powerful militaries Britain and France not only suffered casualties, but also economically as they were greatly in debt to the United States. Because of this neither country was enthusiastic to get involved in disputes that did not affect Western Europe. Therefore the League had no military might and could only enforce economic sanctions in hope that they worked against aggressive nations. All these flaws point to signs that the League of Nations was a failure. However, even though there were a few setbacks, the league was a success in many ways.
According to the Federalists, if the Constitution had parts to it that didn't work, it could be amended. This doesn't seem right, because if it was written by a group of Federalists, then clearly amending it will favor their views. At the Philadelphia Convention, the only type of people who could afford to make the trip was wealthy Americans, and the wealthy generally shared the views of Federalists. Federalists upheld that the Constitution provided a strong central government by the people; however, this was only partly true. The people of the United
It would also not have been popular amongst the American people as the majority did not despise communism so much that war was a possibility and so the idea did not have the peoples backing. Another factor which meant that the cold war was not inevitable by 1945 was the fact that the current leaders Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill were holding peaceful negotiations including the naughty document a document that was drawn up in Greece between Stalin and Churchill before the end of the war to divide of the land they had won. This suggests that at this time cold war was completely avoidable. Not only were the countries willing to be peaceful but they even began negotiating the terms of their victory and were able to agree on the division of Europe temporarily. Though they began they agreed upon the divisions they had made after 1945 this became a large cause of tension the most famous being the berlin wall which was an attempt by the communists to starve supplies from western berlin.
