Lusitania

...The Lusitania Goes Under What happened to the Lusitania on it's last journey across the Atlantic Ocean? Why did the ship get torpedoed? Was it against laws set forth by many of the countries of the early 1900s? These are many of the questions often asked when World War I is being discussed in many history classes. With the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the countries of Austria, Germany, Russia, France, Britain, and Serbia initially felt the tensions increasing either through the arms race or the forming of various alliances and treaties. On, 28 July 1914, the war was official and new types of warfare had been implemented in ways never before used. The early machine guns were now employed to keep enemies in their trenches, airplanes were soaring in the skies, tanks were rolling over trenches, and the most devastating of all, the submarine was now an effective and efficient killing machine. The submarine could stalk enemy ships and attack them without any warning or retribution. The earliest submarine, the Turtle, was used in the American Revolutionary War, but it had little success. (American 1) Now, the submarines used in World War I were redesigned and fitted with better weaponry for fighting a war of stealth and destruction. Submarines had many famous or infamous attacks on naval vessels depending on which side of the history books the country was on. (Germans 1) The one attack that changed World War I was submarine attack on the Lusitania...

America's Entry Into World War I

...America’s Entry into World War I Abandoning the traditional isolationist foreign policy initiated by the founding fathers, the U.S. entered World War I in April 1917. Despite President Woodrow Wilson’s intent to remain neutral, the central theme of his re-election campaign, a series of events practically coerced American entry into the Great War. Speculation surrounds exactly which event served as the catalyst for military mobilization, with many historians pointing towards the German sinking of the British ocean liner Lusitania. While the Lusitania sinking provided pro-ally propaganda, and temporarily soured relations with Germany, several other events actually facilitated the road to war for the U.S. Prior to American entry to World War I, the overwhelming sentiment was one of neutrality. With immigration on the rise, one out of every eleven Americans was German, or approximately 27% of the population, making German the largest ethnic group in America. The American economy grew early on in the war. War materials sold to the Allies, particularly Britain and France, provided a huge boon to the economy as Britain alone spent approximately $10 million per day in the states. Relations and popular opinion quickly changed however, as Germany initiated unrestricted submarine warfare on all shipping vessels around Britain, triggering President Woodrow Wilson to cease bi-lateral relations with Germany in February 1917. This was not the first time relations degraded between the...

The Sinking Of The Lusitania Propaganda

...The Sinking of the Lusitania (1918) is a silent animated short film produced by American cartoonist Winsor McCay, depicting a work of propaganda in re-creating the never-photographed 1915 sinking of the British liner RMS, Lusitania. The reliability is profoundly restricted by the reality that the source is for propaganda tenacities and hence not a true indication of the sinking of Lusitania. Rather that of an animated dramatization of the notorious World War I German torpedoing of the ocean liner. The source is reliable in depicting that in the aftermath of the sinking, Lusitania became a symbol of the war effort–a polarizing rallying cry along the lines of “Remember the Maine!” . As such, the source is reliable as evidence that propaganda...

Submarine Warfare

...Atlantic commenced in 1939. The directive was to sink more supply line ships than the Allies could replace to force a surrender through starvation and lack of supplies. This initiative created what was known as the Battle of the Atlantic. Known as the longest continuous campaign of World War II, the Battle of the Atlantic mostly involved the Allies protecting the shipping routes across the Atlantic which were constantly being intercepted by German U-boats. The Nazi’s submarines, referred to by most as U-boats, were more like submersible ships than submarines at the time. They ran on diesel engines for their surface time and battery for their submersed. They dove beneath the water only when they were attacked or for torpedo strikes during the day. More often attacks were made on the surface at night. This was extremely effective in the early years of the war as they were virtually untraceable due to the lack of sonar technologies at the time. This time was known to Germans as “die gluckliche Zeit” or “the happy time”. Many classes of U-boats were made, but the most prominent of them were Type VII, the workhorse (700 active), Type IX, larger with operations involving the Indian Ocean and South Atlantic, Type XIV, known as the Elektroboot developed to perform best while submerged. Concerning the successful type IX, detailed description included a double hull construction, with a torpedo count of twenty two, with six tubes for firing. Anti-aircraft guns were outfitted on the deck...

The Devil In The White City Summary

...Dead Wake follows the life of Woodrow Wilson, who was president when the Lusitania was sunk. Another person that the book talks about is Captain Thomas Turner. He was the captain of the Lusitania, had a very interesting life, and was fearless on most of the boats he captained. Finally, the reader learns of Captain Walther Schweiger. He was a brutal U-boat captain that sunk many ships during his time. He was the captain of U-20 when the boat sunk the Lusitania, sending some Americans into rage. Wilson is interesting to read about because he lead the United States during a turbulent time, Captain Turner is interesting to read about because of his fearlessness as a man and captain, and Captain Schweiger’s exploits in sinking ships are very interesting to read...

What Really Caused the Us to Enter Into Ww 1

...Princip. Another factor that caused this Great War was Austria competing with Serbia and Russia for territory and influence in Balkan’s. But if this was a war happening on the land masses of Europe and Asia, how did this effect the United States? What caused the United States to enter into World War One? The United States entered into World War One when Germany broke a pledge that was established during the war in 1916 that restricted Germany’s use of U-boats in their war effort (primarily their target selection). The German U-boat was a powerful and effective tool that Germany had at its disposal during World War One. While other nations had vast superior fleets of war ships in their navies (especially the British Royal Navy) that the Germans knew they were no match for on the surface, they would instead use their U-boats to attack these war ships from a submersed position where these other countries fleets could not effectively counter engage, giving the Germans a deadly advantage over these superior Navy fleets. The German U-boat was given birth from through an arms race between the Germans and the British. The arms race was very costly for both the Germans and the British. The ships the British built, the Dreadnoughts, were highly effective compared to those ships built by the Germans, resulting in most of their ships not...

Music Paper

...Daquan Jackson 3/11/14 Prof. Powell Mus 101 The song I chose for this assignment is Ordinary people by John legend which to me is a great song. Ordinary people came in out in 2004 in Legends album Get Lifted. The song doesn’t have any personal meaning for me; I just really enjoy listening to song for some reason. There’s only one instrument throughout this song and it’s the piano which Legend plays himself. The man has a great voice which makes me keep listening to his music because if it wasn’t for that I don’t think I would listen to him. This songs is completely different to all the other music I listening I listen to more Spanish and house music then I do to soul, in fact this is probably the only soul song I actually have listened to more than once. This is different to the music I listen to because most of what I listen to makes no sense and has no meaning to it, unlike ordinary people which actually talks about real life situations that people in relationships go through even today. According to Legend the point of this song was to say that relationships are tough and no one will really know the outcome and that even if it does work it will require compromise but even with that the relationship won’t end the way you would want it to. Ordinary people is a soul/ R&B song that talks about guilt, contradiction, fear and doubt. In this line ("I know I misbehaved/and you've made your mistakes/and we both still got room left to grow") he talks about how people in...

The Cuban Missile Crisis

...Argo is one of the prime-contenders at this year’s Academy awards. In fact by the time this project is completed, it might well have won the Best Picture Oscar. So what makes this film Oscar-worthy? There is a two-fold answer to this and like all occurrences in the arena of International Relations, it can be interpreted either Ideally or Realistically. The Idealistic interpretation would be that the movie is a pseudo-documentary that tells things as they were and is bolstered by some brilliant acting and a taut script. The Realistic interpretation would be that the film tells the story from a very American perspective and glorifies its intelligence organization – the CIA. And this glorification comes at a time when the CIA has received a severe drubbing from many quarters, and badly needs a face-lift. Thus one can conclude that the Academy Awards, like everything else, are susceptible to Politics. But this by no means detracts from the fact that Argo is a marvelous film, and in which one can’t pick any technical flaws. The film opens with a dispassionate montage of events leading up to the Iran Hostage Crisis of 1979-81 which tersely and neutrally explain the facts. After the director, the very talented Mr. Ben Affleck has given the audience their brief tryst with the backdrop, he launches straight into the story, one character at a time. This transition from the general to the specific gives the film a palpably organized feel and makes the fantastic premise believable. The movie...

Quantitatve

...Quantitative Research Critique This is a critique on the article “Does Enteral Contrast Increase the Accuracy of Appendicitis Diagnosis?”, written by Latifi, A. et al in 2011. Appendicitis is the most common abdominal emergency and occurs most often between the ages of ten and twenty years old and more frequently in men (Rybkin, 2007). It was once thought that appendicitis was related to an obstruction of the appendix, therefore it was logical to use contrast enema and fluoroscopy to diagnose. Later on, contrast enema and oral contrast was continued in combination with computed tomography (CT) to diagnose appendicitis and this method has been continuously explored with published studies. After the development of high-resolution multidetector, researchers have suggested that the use of enteral contrast was unnecessary. The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the multidetector CT for diagnosing appendicitis in relation to enteral contrast. Protection of Human Participants The participants in the study were all fifteen years or older. The local ethical committee approved the study. Informed consent was not needed because the study was retrospective and did not violate patient privacy in Sweden. There were no risks noted because of the study since the CT scan was a routine test that was done prior to the data being collected. Data Management and Analysis Two hundred and forty six examinations were retrospectively selected for this study that took place at...
