...Assess the significance of war in influencing the transformation of approaches to medical treatment and surgery in the period 1870-1990 Throughout 1870-1990, warfare played a crucial role in transforming approaches to medical treatment and surgery as it; prompted more government responsibility in healthcare, innovated technological developments in medicine such as the establishment of blood transfusion services, contributed to individual breakthroughs by catalysing the development, and mass-production of penicillin. However, there's an ongoing historical debate regarding the significance of other factors' influence in transforming approaches to medical treatment and surgery. Other factors include; individuals who used their scientific knowledge to develop new medical treatment and surgical treatments, and the role of the government in enhancing healthcare in Britain. The effects of war were prevalent as early as the Second Boer War; which exposed inadequacies within the healthcare system, instigating increased government awareness towards poor health. Henry Hyndman suggested up to 50% of volunteers were unfit and in Manchester, 8,000 out of the 11,000 who volunteered for the army were rejected as they were physically unsuitable. The public's poor health hindered recruitment for the Boer War alarmed the government.

...How far do you agree that the impact of the Second World War was the main reason why the position of African Americans improved in the years 194555? Before WW2, it could be considered that AfroAmericans had no position in society. This was evident especially in the Southern States where white supremacy emerged amongst the dominant white class. Many Southern Politicians were members of the Klu Klux Klan and so they often tried to disregard any Supreme Court Rulings that were created. In this essay it will be argued that it was the Second World War which was the main reason why the Position of African Americans improved in the years 19451955. However, there are other factors that have to be taken into consideration such as the Presidential Influence and the Supreme Court Rulings. The impact of WW2 was important in securing better position for AfroAmericans as more people realised their significance of their work in the army. As a result it became apparent of the reforms that were required. President Truman took over from President Roosevelt. He was significant even though he was a racist at a young age and supported white supremacy. When he took over as President he felt he had a moral obligation to fight segregation. He established the President’s Committee on Civil Rights in 1947 and commissioned them to make a report examining the experiences of ethnic minorities It highlighted the problems facing African Americans and how to make America a more just society.

...The Empire of Japan during WW2 The Empire of Japan during World War two seen great victories and expanding territories it also seen dramatic defeat. “At the height of its power in 1942, the Empire of Japan ruled over a land area spanning 2,857,000 square miles, making it one of the largest maritime empires in history (Colin, 1998).” It was the first and only nation to endure the atomic bomb twice. During this paper we will look at the rise and fall of the Japanese Empire. What kind of Government ran this nation? Was their economy a strong or weak economy at the start of the war and how did the war affect it? How did their military operate? The Empire of Japan’s government was a parliamentary constitutional monarchy. To better understand the dynamics of the Government during WW2 you have to travel back to the Meiji Restoration in 1868. “The Meiji Restoration was the political revolution that brought about the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate (a feudal military government which existed between 1603 and 1868) and returned control of the country to direct imperial rule under the emperor Meiji (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2009).” Although, at the start of the Second World War the emperor did not have complete control of the government. The Emperor was the supreme ruler and head of state but the prime minister was the actual head of government. The Emperor was worshipped like a god similar to the Pharos of Egypt during ancient times. “Emperor Hirohito was the emperor from...

...Americans during the Hoover administration of 1929 to 1933 faced severe hunger, unemployment, and an extremely bleak outlook for the future following the Great Crash of October 1929. Nearly all industries were failing, and the unemployment rate had skyrocketed from 4.2% in 1928 to 23.6% in 1932. However, also in 1932, the sentiments of the American people began to change following Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s landslide victory in the presidential election, and the First 100 Days of the Roosevelt administration, during which FDR’s New Deal policies were implemented in an attempt to address the reform, recovery, and relief the country so desperately needed. These policies changed the role of the government from Hoover’s passive “rugged individualism”...

...Progression of black rights during 1945-1955 can be clearly seen but was a long and slow process, although the awareness of racial equality dramatically increased. Various factors were involved. Factors such as: presidential involvement and the use of media post WW2.We also see improvements in education and NAACP. More importantly how the NAACP and southern states responded to these factors, later shaping the result to black civil rights. During this time America saw two presidents come to power: Harry S. Truman (1945-1953) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961). Both of which affected the civil rights movements in different ways. Truman who was vice president to Roosevelt was elected officially in 1948, Born in Missouri in the late 19th century he had been brought up in an area that saw racism towards coloured people as a natural occurrence, and this was also the case for Truman. Truman had first encountered blacks as family servants with his ancestors previously owning slaves. Truman had told his sweet heart Bess that: “One man is as good as another, “So long as he is honest, decent and not a Nigger or a Chinaman”. (Sanders, 2003, p60) So he is an unlikely candidate to eventually be bringing the lack of rights of the blacks to light and standing behind the civil rights movement later in his career. With the number of racial murders on the rise in the south, Truman set up and implemented a civil rights committee to produce a report “Secure These Rights” brought attention to the...

Many women began working outside the home for the first time When America entered WWI in 1917, a male labour shortage, meant that women took over traditional male roles while they were at war. The Woman's Land Army of America, brought over 20,000 women to rural America, these "farmerettes" were paid wages equal to male farmers and an eight-hour working day protected them. 11,000 women, served abroad as nurses; others became ambulance drivers. For many, this provided an example of women mobilizing themselves. They challenged conventional thinking about gender roles which celebrated by many e.g. The Los Angeles Times proclaimed "farmettes" were “To turn new earth in history of the...
