It begins with the U.S. embassy in Iran, where many Iranians are trying to break in and kill or capture U.S. employees. They wanted prisoners to hold in exchange for the old shah of Iran, who is now in the United States seeking refugee. After the rioters break into the embassy, six Americans are able to escape and hide out with the Canadian ambassador who has a house there. Learning of this C.I.A agent Tony Mendez, played by Ben Affleck, helps plan a secret operation. The idea thought up by Mendez is to pretend to be Canadian movie executives looking for exotic places to shoot a space movie named “Argo”, hence the title of the actual movie.
When Americans began to believe that weapons of mass destruction existed and decided that Iraq was providing support to al Queda, the war could be justified as an act of self defense. Bush also told Americans by invading Iraq he would bring a democracy to their country to better the policies and enforce democratic beliefs in their country. The role of the media plays an imminent part in the run up to the war in Iraq. The media repeatedly showed the planes crashing into the World Trade Centers. People were watching this horrific act being shown on every news channel for weeks after the attacks occurred.
The Highwaymen were the scandalous criminals that patrolled the highways and traffic roads to scavenge for useful goods. “With the use of the Hydrogen Bomb, the Christian era was dead, and with it must die the tradition of the good Samaritan” (page 84). After the many atomic bombs destroyed Orlando and other major cities, the survivors went against each other and become either hostile criminals or bystanders trying yo avoid to confliction. “Some nations and some people melt in the heat of crisis and come apart like fat in the pan” (page 132). The villainous Highwaymen, drug addicts, and gangsters all came apart at the seams when their lifestyles changed for the worse.
It mainly effected eastern Europeans, especially Russians because the Americans were more suspicious that they were communists spies or promoters. Only limited number of people from that area could come through. During the late 1940s several news events caught the public's attention, including the trial, conviction and subsequent execution of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg for espionage (specifically passing atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union), the Iron Curtain in Eastern Europe, and the acquisition of an atomic bomb by the Soviet Union. [11] In 1893 the Supreme Court stated that the deportation was not criminal case and thus not subject to the same constitutional standards of due process. In practice, this meant that the INS could surround the foreign-born Communists and detain them indefinitely without bail in an attempt to deport

A cargo ship disguised as a cruise ship sunk because the Germans torpedoed it. It carried weapons and the passengers had access to one or more warnings by the Germans concerning sea travel around Great Britain. The British wanted America to join the war to support the Allies. Though this event did not immediately trigger the reaction the British wanted, the Lusitania event, in combination with others, caused the Americans to join the war, allowing the Allies to win. They needed the Americans, and they used an ingenious tactic to cause the Americans to join the war: the death of its own civilians.
How did Hitler invade the soviet Union, why did he invade the Soviet Union, and how does the novel “Soldier X” by Don Wulffson, describe war to what war was really like. Hitler broke his pact with the Soviet Union for several reasons. One of the main reasons he broke his pact is the fact that Adolf Hitler was a greedy human being and wanted all of Europe and eventually the entire world. Once his attack on Britain failed due to a thick, annoying fog, he decided that he would break his secret pact with the Soviet Union and invade. He becomes too confident and to greedy, “Clearly, no longer was it Lebensraum

After a plane was shot down over Russia, America admitted sending planes to spy on the Soviets, which resulted in a cancelation of a meeting between President Eisenhower and Khrushchev. This resulted in the United Nations becoming panicked for further outburst of communism. Americans were developing new weapon like the hydrogen bomb to expand American weaponry on foreign countries.
The people were divided. Both the American people and others around word were soon to find out the horrors of what lay beneath an ash cloud that hung hundreds of miles above the Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Even the scientists could not quite believe and could not imagine the effects that these two bombs would have, even now, more than 65 years later. News of the atomic bombing was greeted enthusiastically in the U.S.; a poll in Fortune magazine in late 1945 showed a significant minority of Americans wishing that more atomic bombs could have been dropped on Japan. The immediate death toll will never be known, but within four months, it was estimated that that the effects of both bombs had claimed around 166,000 people in Hiroshima, and 80,000 in Nagasaki.
