.... of perhaps as many as 240,000 Japanese citizens. The popular, or traditional, view that dominated the 1950s and 60s--put forth by President Harry Truman and Secretary of War Henry Stimson-- was that the dropping of the atomic bombs was a solely military action that avoided the loss of as many as a million lives in the upcoming invasion of the island of Kyushu.

I feel that the dropping of the bomb was born out of a complex myriad o .....

.... two panels. It was late at night, around midnight. Frank Willis, the watchman, was making his normal checks when he noticed a door to the stairwell was taped. He figured that it was just some movers who used that door to go back and forth earlier that day, so he peeled the tape away and continued his work.

An undercover officer named Sergeant Paul Leeper and officers John Barret and Carl Shoffler intercepted the call while on patrol. Flashlights were noticed by a former .....

It was shortly thereafter that the US Government began serious undertaking known as the Manhattan Project. The Manhattan Project was designed to research and production that would produce an atomic bomb. The first cause of using the nuclear power as an atomic power was that the Americans had believed that Japan would never surrender during the WW II.

.... rational reasoning in their rethinking of reevaluation of society's current status. Still, they constituted a minority and their reformist views were not well-taken by the greater part of the population who had become accustomed to a certain way of thinking were not willing to budge, thus keeping the radicals silent. Individualism was also partially suppresse d by the succession of three traditionalist Republican presidents whose partiality to the strong was displayed by their strong backing of big business while discouraging the Labor Union movement.

The first concentrated fighting broke out in Colorado, just after the Civil war. Government officials tried to force the Arapaho and Cheyenne from an area that had been granted to them ten years earlier. Warfare continued for three years until Black Kettle, Cheyenne chief, was trapped at Sand Creek in eastern Colorado. The militia ignored Black Kettle’s repeated attempts to surrender and killed men, women and children. This was the start of the many wars between Indians and the .....

He later claimed his own presidential victory in the election of 1829, gaining a majority of votes from the west and the south who were his great supporters. Jackson was first considered a president of the people because he supported the common man and nationalism.1 Jackson proved this belief through particular times in his presidency.

.... view the history of An Gorta Mor ("The Great Hunger") through cultural lenses, which tend to distort the realities of history as often as they magnify elements of truth. These lenses develop as a result of the normal processes of story telling, both oral and written, passed down from generation to generation. The images these lenses project however, can be focused on certain aspects of that history by political organizations with agendas to cover. Therefore, in an examination of the "famine", one must begin with the facts. Once the facts have been revealed, one may move to explore the truth (or falsity) of the history which developed around t .....
