...War and Ho Chi Minh for their freedom. The “only war that Americans lost” lasted from 1945 to 1975, and included the people from the South and the North of Vietnam, especially, the major figure of the war. The Vietnamese politician, a Communist leader and Confucian Humanist who led the people of North Vietnam to escape the domination of the French, was a steady, militarily brilliant person who was motivated by the love for his country (“Ho Chi Minh essays,” n.d). The Vietnamese who are inside the country and all around the world hold a strong opinion that Ho Chi Minh is a great commander in Vietnam, though with a wrong belief in the type of Government:...

...Marx described it as, and he began to talk about an era of change for the US. As a reply, Ambassador Charles Francis wrote on behalf of Lincoln, agreeing with Marx’s ideas, and that the goals of Lincoln and Marx seemed to revolved around the nature and welfare of humans being intact. Francis wrote “the national attitude is favored with their enlightened approval and earnest sympathies”, representing the support of the USA. These exchange of letters brought all eyes to the revolutionary fire burning in Europe. People all over the world turned its eyes to what Karl Marx had sparked. The aftermath of Marx’s works was what emerged as world powers. Vladimir Lenin, Fidel Castro, Mao Zedong, and Ho Chi Minh took in the ideas of Marx, to create powerful societies that still exist today. Although Ho Chi Minh’s North Vietnam eventually failed, Cuba, Russia, and China still have communist structures today. These existences only show the power and persuasiveness that Marx had, and he had convinced intelligent people to carry out his plans. Starting with Vladimir Lenin, the Russian revolutionary would discover Marx’s ideas to be logical and sensible. As he observed the working class, Lenin realized the amount of support he had gained. By forming groups like Russian Social-Democratic Workers’ Party, Lenin would gather Marxists to form master plans to overthrow the Russian government. “Capitalists are no more capable of self-sacrifice than a man is capable of lifting himself up by his own bootstraps...

...1960's Diary Entry Aaron Cobb His-135 April 21st, 2013 Joseph Woodard 1960's Diary Entry Diary Entry #1 Today we have lost a legacy. Malcolm X was one of the greatest and most influential African Americans the world has ever known. He did so much to make us feel connected with our African American heritage. He would say the things we were thinking but were too afraid to say ourselves. He taught us to stand up for ourselves and our rights as black men. Who knew that a troubled young boy would become a powerful and educated leader? As a young trouble maker doing prison time, it was during his ten years in prison that he educated himself as well as introducing himself to the Nation of Islam teachings. After serving a couple of prison stints he even became a minister of numerous temples in Boston, Philadelphia and New York. He also started a newspaper titled “Muhammad Speaks” which touched on controversial views about his idea that blacks were superior. He became second in command to Elijah Muhammad but they butted heads and ended up going their own ways. Elijah stuck to his ideas of Nation of Islam, while Malcolm X focused on what true Islam taught. He felt that the Civil Rights Movement had the blacks begging the whites for freedom, and he was not a fan of begging. He instead advocated black power and black consciousness even if it resulted in violence. He had several famous speeches, including “Black Man’s History”, “The Black Revolution”, and “God’s Judgment...

...and Iraq). I will focus on the three major problems that the two countries are experiencing in today's world that include political, economic and human rights. Despite the country’s political differences, they share some similarities; though much of the philosophy has been debated, there are points of value to both countries. This essay intends to study some of their most painful discover in their political philosophy. Vietnam Political The North and the South were divided politically in 1954 because of different economic ideologies. Communist was in the North and capitalist in the South. Ho Chi Minh was a Vietnamese revolutionary leader, who established the communist governed Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945. Ho Chi Minh became president of Democratic Republic of Vietnam from 1945 to 1969. He died in 1969. After the fall of Saigon in 1975, the Communist Party renamed Ho Chi Minh City in his honor. In 1975, the Communist Party unified the North and South as one. The country’s communist leaders had adopted Marxist – and Leninist theories. The Communist Party then reestablished national sovereignty, initiated agrarian reform, and had gradually transformed the nation into a modern industrialized nation. These gains have come...

...information about historical figures, making them one dimensional and uninteresting. Loewen's first example is Hellen Keller. Everyone who has ever taken an American history class knows about how a blind and deaf Keller taught herself how to read and write. However Keller's legacy is far greater than what most textbooks will tell you. According to Loewen, "The truth is that Hellen Keller was a radical socialist."(13). Not only that, but Keller supported Unions, donated money to the NAACP, and even hung a red flag from her desk. None of this information is available in most textbooks though. Therefore I agree with Loewen's claim regarding Hellen Keller....

...1. After reading the New York Times editorial and the National Review article, is one argument stronger than the other? • In my opinion, the New York Times makes more sense on their rationalization of who should take the consequences of the atrocities committed in Vietnam. As opposed to National Review’s, America as a whole cannot take the blame of the horrible deed during the war in Vietnam. The majority of the Americans, and some political leaders strongly opposed it. However, due to Truman’s doctrine, America would not abandon the war in South Vietnam against communist North Vietnam, under the direction of Ho Chi Minh. The succeeding presidents just carried out Truman’s legacy. To make it worst, America got deepened in the involvement in the war during the Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration. The war escalated, and became an American war against North Vietnam. As for the My Lai massacre, the commanding officer of the operation has the moral responsibility for the killings. As the commander, he directed the platoons to abide orders. The platoons are drafted and trained to carry out and rely on orders from the officials. Thus, they bear lesser liability of the aftermath that the officials have directed them to carry out....

...BRITISH LITERATURE (Collected by Trần Quang Nhu) 1. THE GARDEN PARTY by Katherine Mansfield 1. Plot Summary .The cloudless summer day is perfect for the garden party at the home of the well-to-do Sheridan family. Before breakfast ends, four workmen arrive to set up the marquee (a tent or canopy to shield partygoers from the elements). Because Meg has just washed her hair and Jose is still in her petticoat, Mrs. Sheridan assigns the task of supervising the men to Laura. Taking a piece of buttered bread with her, Laura goes outside to begin her task. .......When she suggests that the men–all smiling and quite friendly–set up the marquee on the lily lawn, a fat man considers the idea but a tall man man says it would not get enough attention there. "You want to put it somewhere where it'll give you a bang slap in the eye." Laura wonders whether it is respectful of a laborer to speak to a girl of her upbringing in the crude language (bang slap) of the common people. .......Laura then recommends a corner of the tennis court. Although a band will be playing on the court, she says, there will still be room for the marquee. Another man suggests placing the marquee against the karaka trees. Laura dislikes the idea of hiding the broad leaves and yellow fruit of the karakas, but the workmen are already heading toward them with the staves and rolls of canvas. She is impressed that one workman stops to smell lavender. Too bad the boys who come calling...

...came into the Whitehouse? There is no doubt that Johnson was the one who fully placed ground troops in Vietnam in '65 and created his legacy of 'Johnson's war', but did any of the previous presidents give him any other option except to stay? Also, was there any evidence of any moments when they could've pulled out? The commitment trap theory is widely acknowledged, with regards to Vietnam, by historians as it explains many of the extreme actions that were undertaken during this period. It is also used in arguments supporting USA's decisions in Vietnam, because these decisions were only made because they HAD to be made, the predecessing presidents gave them no choice. However, was commitment trap the only reason Kennedy stayed in Vietnam? One of the first Presidents that could be argued to have influenced the refusal to withdraw from Vietnam was Truman and, particularly, his foreign policy. Truman's foreign policy states that 'we [USA] will give help to any free peoples suffering from Communism' this policy was an embedded thought in any successing President's mind, if they wanted to keep America an Anti-Communist country. Truman, implementing his policy, initiated the connection between Vietnam and the USA by giving financial aid to French Colonialists who were looking to regain control of Indochina from Vietnamese nationalists such as Ho Chi Minh. In 1950, a defence department official stated that 'we are gradually increasing our stake in the outcome of struggle ... We are dangerously...

Thomas and Joseph B. Whitehead, secured exclusive rights from Candler to bottle and sell the beverage – a new way to enjoy syrup. * 1905 – 1918: A Unique design The Company decided to create a distinctive bottle shape to assure people of getting a real Coca-Cola.
