A theme in both sources is the who won them war, source A is very clear on saying the war was won by the people, 'not by any one man', where as the conservatives campaign was largely based on Churchill and how he won the war. Source A appeals to the general public more than B as it says the war was one by ordinary people which brings a sense of unity. A is political propaganda promising all the issues that needed to be dealt with, like employment and security. Of the sources Source A is more typical and reliable as the things said are what labour stand for and is a prepared written manifesto unlike source B which is a speech. Source A is intended to be repeatedly seen across the country and appeals to the general public insisting on working together through the hard times, addressing the social issues with solutions.
Alyssa Bergdoll Dr. Dave McCarter History 201-005 April 9, 2013 The Battle of Trenton I’ve always enjoyed the painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware. The depiction of our first Commander and Chief, leading his army across the water on Christmas Eve to ambush the enemies that lay in camp, is one of the greatest representations of military leadership in our nation’s history. It has been an inspiring piece of art, but not very many people understand the full story of what actually occurred on that dreadful night. It is my goal by the end of this paper to make a clear understanding of The Battle of Trenton and why it was successful. The painting itself has a lot of history and was completed in 1851 by a German-American artist
I thought they would have won this battle by now, seeing how powerful the U-boat is. However, Germany is still in control of this attack. Clearly all these men are gladiators like Ares. I thought this power was used in a good way. The U-boat could have avoided them, but at what cost?
Unbroken Laura Hillenbrand is an amazing writer and the “New York Times bestselling author of the book Seabiscuit.” After the success of the book Seabiscuit, Hillenbrand decided to write about a guy whose life is all about surviving, bravery, and resilience. According to James D. Hornfischer, “Ms. Hillenbrand says that she happened across Mr. Zamperini's story while researching her previous book, the best-selling "Seabiscuit," when she noticed an article about him among her clippings about the racehorse.

The title of the book is Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption.
Explain why the Nazi Regime proclaimed “Total War” in February 1943. (12 Marks) One factor behind why the Nazi regime went ahead with total war was because it offered a chance to revive public morale following the defeat at Stalingrad. The public morale down at this point however going to war with allies seemed the perfect opportunity in regaining the trust of people in the regime.

How does Priestly present ideas about how we should treat other people in “An Inspector Calls”? “An Inspector Calls” was written at the end of the Second World War although it was set in the Edwardian Days just before the First World War. In the Edwardian era, Britain had a vast Empire, was very prosperous because of it and was full of confidence. The maiden voyage seemed to epitomise the best days of the Empire. By the time the play was written, Britain had been through the trauma of two world wars.
We were, after all this other stuff was over, we had a Captain Bard that was put aboard our ship, and he had a fast little skiff that was the captain’s gig, that really had some power to it, and I could drive that. Whenever we took him anywhere, he checked every port in Japan, so I got to see about every big city that was on a port.” The quote shows that just because you may be fighting against a certain thing that a country does, doesn’t mean you have to hate the country and hate the people there. Another example of someone falling in love with the country they fought in or the people there is when a WW2 veteran fell in love with a girl in Britain when he was stationed there. Over time they went separate ways. Over 70 years later he flew to Australia to find her after their son’s set up a Facetime call.

Boys in carpentry classes made games for the sick soldiers or clothes hooks and magazine stands for naval hospitals.

Admiral Chester Nimitz’s greatest contribution to the United States Army was his leadership ability against the Japanese at Pearl Harbor during World War II.
