Military Status before and during the war i. Japan The Japanese were uncommonly treacherous and savage, their army was the strongest in the pacific before the Americans decided to join the war. Even before the fall of Saipan in June 1944, Japanese planners knew that Iwo Jima would have to be reinforced significantly if it were to be held for any length of time, and preparations were made to send sizable numbers of men and quantities of materiel to that island. Thus the Japanese began preparing their defences mainly using nature, by this meaning that they started fortifying the caves. Thus General Kuribayashi ordered that mining engineers were dispatched from Japan to draw blueprints for projected underground fortifications that would consist of elaborate tunnels at varying levels to assure good ventilation and minimize the effect of bombs or shells exploding near the entrances or exits . in terms of military forces General Kuribayashi had a plan called water's edge defence strategy, but however he later abandoned it.

It commemorates all those who died in the Allied campaigns in Greece and Crete during 1941. The memorial takes the shape of an amphitheatre in which a Doric column symbolizes the birth of civilization.

Wisher Paudel Pd. 7 12/08/2009 The theme of hospitality is expressed thoroughly throughout The Odyssey and is proved to be very significant. The culture of welcoming every guest even without being acquainted with them is an important aspect of Greek hospitality code. Some of the necessary hospitable characteristics for a person to possess include feeding tired strangers and providing a shelter for those who come wandering.

The Bulletin Debate was a nationwide debate between iconic bush poets Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson depicting their views of the Australian outback. Lawson who became very popular with the Australian public during the time period had what was described as a more realistic and blunt view of the bush.

In the Spanish-American War he served as a lieutenant colonel (White House). Theodore Roosevelt was a very courageous man; he fought in the war, took on presidential office, and hunted in some of the most ferocious land in Africa.
