Based on reading Julius Caesar I learned that neither Marc Antony nor Julius Caesar would make a good president of the United States. I believe Brutus will. Although Marc Antony and Julius Caesar had great leadership qualities I believe they did not have good morals or enough strength and courage to handle the power. In Julius Caesar, Brutus was known as being noble and always thinking of the good of Rome. If Brutus became president of the United States he would make sure everyone is treated fairly and with honestly.
The real lesson that the Vietnam experience teaches is that skilled decision makers with good intentions, bright strategic minds, and effective politicians can sometimes be wrong. The sooner the people will understand this the better possibility they have, in order not to repeat the same mistakes. The two United States Presidents that placed the country deeply in the "morass" of Vietnam were John F. Kennedy and Lyndon A. Johnson. They were the leaders of the United States during the most crucial years of the Vietnam war (1961-68). Many of the people who have studied this period come to the conclusion that Johnson's Vietnam policy resembled, more or less, that of Kennedy.
President Eisenhower’s main objective was to gain international peace, this had been his previous focus while in NATO. On April 7, 1954 President Eisenhower gave a historic press conference trying to gain congressional and public support for the United States to increase their aid to the French. The United States officials were nervous that a victory by Ho Chi Minh may cause a communist regime that would gain control of Vietnam. Eisenhower was very concerned with something called the
Reagan detested the oppression of Marxism-Leninism and in 1982 he gave a speech at the British parliament during which he expressed the hope that it would end up “on the ash heap of history”. On March 8th 1983, he gave his “Evil empire speech” referring to communism as “the focus of evil in the modern world”. He also though had a very positive and optimistic view about the strength of democracy and the weakness of communism. After the death of three different Soviet leaders, Reagan finally found Gorbachev someone he could do business with. He was respectful with this new soviet leader and led more or less peaceful relations with him.
Communists or the KDP also saw the opportunity that Hitler saw but with the democracy on its way out there was only room for one government, and Hitler new this. The ploy had so many advantages to Hitler that it would be hard to see how Hitler could not have been involved. This one event allowed him too effectively dishevel his main adversary, the foremost blockade that stopped Hitler’s dictatorship. How he went about “blaming” the communist for the event and thus eliminating them, was also a catalyst for all the events to come. By convincing Hindenburg that there was a large communist threat the country was put into a state of emergency and, with Hindenburg’s backing, Hitler was allowed to pass decrees to govern Germany anyway he liked, with the financial backing of krupp and bosch etc, which in this case is fortunate for the question at hand.
Rise to power Josef Stalin was a keen, intellectual man who knew how to make sure he was viewed well by the public. He tricked his political opponent Trotsky into not coming to Lenin’s funeral so that he could present himself as Lenin’s close friend and get people to dislike Trotsky. He was clever and ensured that he became close to members of the communist party so he could have support by them. this boosted his power. He turned his opponents against each other while keeping his eye on the prize and being sure to never do anything that would endanger his chances of becoming the leader of the Soviet union.
Jack Martin English 11—Period 1 7-29-14 Thomas Paine Thomas Paine once said “The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph, what we obtain too cheap we esteem to lightly.” I couldn’t agree more. Not only is this is a motivational piece, but it’s also telling the truth, it also lets people know that hard work pays off. Thomas pains quote is a motivational piece because it’s telling people that in order to get something you will value, you will have to work hard to get it. That is a life lesson some people miss. Hard work pays off in the long run.
Delvin Bonilla Ms. Flanagan Global History 2 March 13, 2012 Mao Zedong Vs Joseph Stalin History has shown that strong individuals and revolutionary ideas can have a major impact on a country. Leaders are often driven by what they want as a desire to create a more perfect country. Frequently their egos and methods blind them from the realization of the ideals they set out to achieve. Every country has encountered a noteworthy leader at one point or another. Some countries realize this, and take advantage of the fact, while others let him or her slip away.
: The current presidential debates have constantly brought up foreign policy and how it's beneficial to strengthening America and fortifying relationships with allies in the Middle East, which could give us benefits in foreign products like oil, and promoting stability and democracy. If so is said, it can't be proclaimed foreign policy is undermining our national security, can it? Romney claims his policies will "strengthen the US position as an economic and military super power", while Obama says that "After Iraq, we may be tempted to turn inward. That would be a mistake. The American moment is not over, but it must be seized anew.
This new type of patriotism that plagued the lands¾infecting many¾brought us Americans some much needed unification¾but at the expense of living in fear, out-casting the ones whom stand out from the norm. Some call this an improvement, that we’re now on our toes at all times. However, I completely disagree. I’d like to present the facts to you as clearly as I possibly could. Due to the September 11 attacks, America has changed for the worse.
