The war had created the division of two superpowers; The Soviet Union and The United States. After 1945, the United States had become the leading power due to it’s military strength and economic advantages after the war and Soviet Union play it’s role to challenge the state’s power (Young & Kent: 2) due to it’s ideology of communism and wanted to expand their influence globally, in which the United States wanted to prevent this from happening because their idea was absolutely conflicted with the Soviet Union; capitalism (Young & Kent: 6). These two countries reshaped Europe and the world. In contrast, World War II also weakened Britain’s and France’s powers because both of these countries faced a devastated loss by the war especially Britain. Likewise, both of the powers had to dismantle their colonies and ended their overseas and territorial empire.
MPs, bereaved parents, health professionals and junkies themselves say radical measure are needed to stamp out the city’s problem – the worst in Europe. Drugs deaths have risen sharply in recent years. In 1992, 43 young Glaswegians died; last year, the figure was 97 out of total of around 140 north of the border. In a city of 650,000 people the rate is worryingly high. Compared to the rest of Britain, it is shocking.

Causes of the First World War World War I was often referred to as “The Great War”. It began in 1914 and ended in 1918. America witnessed much devastation in this time period. In these four years alone nearly 9 million people died and millions more were maimed, crippled, grief stricken, or psychologically scarred (Coetzee, 11). World War I is considered by some, the first man-made catastrophe of the twentieth century.
It took me a while to piece together all the information. Many people are infected by the flu, plagues, measles, and many more illness or diseases per year. There is not much people can do to not get sick; but at the hospital there is, and that would be washing your hands. Even though some don’t, doctors should always be washing their hands because they are the ones carrying diseases from patient to patient (Gawande 344). If a doctor sees a patient who has the flu, and doesn’t wash his before he goes to see his next patient, that patient may also get the flu.
Military Adventurism and Nation Building The Clinton administration gave way to a major transformation in the manner in which our military functioned. An unquestioned military power was beginning to see its power diminish as it became frequently used for measures that it was not designed. President Clinton began a policy of military adventurism during the 1990’s in which our troops were sent across the globe on peacekeeping missions trying to force democracy onto people. The purpose of the military used to be to go into an area, eliminate the enemy and get out. Leaders from the top down would ask what we’re doing, why we’re doing it and finally how we could do it better.
World War 2 was a “total war” involving every nations which at the war. We can see that on the table, a total of 38,380 servicemen were lost in the war, also over 67,100 citizens killed on their homeland. Despite the death, there were 60,000 Britons were disabled. From those data, we know that not only the soldiers were killed at the war, the citizens also were killed. The data reflected that the number of civilians’ death was more than World War 1.
This essay will argue that Huttmann made a wise decision and did not commit a crime. She made a very difficult decision to free Mac of his misery and live with a peaceful conscience. During the 80's euthanasia was not a common procedure for hospitals. There are patients like Mac who are very ill and transformed from a strong, young person in to a skeleton trapped in a hospital bed. When people are very sick and have to lay in bed for months without showing a bit of progress, as in the majority of the cancer cases, they are in agony.“The Doctor believed that life must be extended as long they have the means and knowledge to do it” (Huttmann 114).
What impact did Plague have on England during the period 1348-1500? Yersinia pestis, more commonly known as ‘the Black Death’, was responsible for the death of up to 200 million people globally, including at the very least “over one-third of the population” of England. Clearly such a major historic event had many widespread impacts. These range of impacts range from impacts on popular culture and art, including the eerie and spectacle late-medieval fascination with death in images such as the Danse Macabre¸ to widespread persecution of minorities, such as the Jews, blamed for transmitting the disease. However this essay will focus on what it believes to be the greatest impacts the Plague had on England – the impact on demographics, the impact on social mobility, and the impact on religion.
