At Fulton, Missouri, Churchill delivered a memorable speech, where he used descriptive phrases that surprised both Britain and the United States. Prior to his speech, Britain and the United States (U.S) were concerned with their unique post-war economies (Boyer 47).

After the conclusion of the American Civil War (1861-1865), the United States forces returned to front line duties such as engaging in brutal combat with Native American tribes and controlling domestic disorders.

It was during what would later be known as the Spanish-American War that the weaknesses of the United States Army and Navy became evident. Apparently, rather than building a strong force after their Civil War, the US units either demobilized or only ...

In the 1800’s the European countries undertook an initiative to colonize different countries across the globe. The American states were not left behind in this quest by the European nations and as a result, their eagerness to colonize the American states faced opposition.

One cultural effect of the War of 1812 was that the fact that the United States had remained unscathed with its boundaries intact. This led to a focus on nationalism, and on the expansion of the country westward. A new economic agenda for the young nation was then created, which concentrated on creating market economies in industrial locations, thus allowing for economic growth for many citizens. There was the so-called “Era of Good Feelings” that evolved, providing for the ultimate unification of the country and impetus for its expansion and growth (Berkin, et al, 2014).

It popped up as anxiety, fear and something that could actually work to change the country for the better. America’s anxieties with the Cold War were very prominently ...

Technology Use and Integration

While the use of technology is random, its integration is based plans and purposes.
