The Vietnam War is the most famous and significant US external affairs that will remain in the history of US. In essence, it is arguable whether US lost the war or to some extent; it won. Often than not, it appears that the US lost the war as it withdrew from the battlefield before achieving its agenda. The war had a significant economic, social and political impact on the people of US. The US government was overspending on this war; thousands of soldiers were being killed and protest and thus ‘no need of drama’ (O’Brien, 2014 ...

The automobile industry in the US is one of the largest in the world. The history of the automobile industry dates back to the 1890’s.

Rail construction is a sequence of steps that takes laborious amounts of time in each step and finally results in a wonderful and safe system for transport for many decades to come that requires minimal maintenance over that period. The first step in the construction process is the approval for new line itself. This is typically the responsibility of the government to do it. Once a approval is given for rail connectivity between two points then the role of engineering kicks in.
The first step in the process is the alignment. Alignment is nothing but the path in which ...

Chris Altman is an English professor at the University of South Carolina. He has taken two articles about The Battle of Maldon each focusing on different themes, and combined them in order to better understand Byrhtnoð's strategy using the terrain. He introduces his argument suggesting that “Byrhtnoð arguably exploited the terrain to maximize the Viking enemy casualties caused by arrow volleys launched from the western shore” (3). The themes from the two articles are (a) the military strategy and weaponry of the Anglo-Saxons and (b) a geological analysis of the site of the battle.

Altman includes a sketch ...

As a stable democracy, the United States' political terrain is competitive. This necessitates the formulation of competitive platforms that leaves no leeway for counter-partisan criticism. Political conventions have been used to demonstrate that each party has a clear framework of the policy windows that they intend to formulate if elected to office. The just concluded Democratic and Republican national conventions was a clear indication that each party is geared to persuade and convince ...

Subsequent to the entrance in into World War I by the Ottoman Empire, the then first Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Winston Churchill constructed a plan for raiding the Dardanelles (Gallipoli).

The scientists through governments have sent into space different space satellites that are able to help them get the desired knowledge of the different ...

- Introduction
Although the United States is a young nation, she has had a background that is full of conflict. Because the birth of the United States was born from a bloody conflict with Britain, it seems unsurprising that much of the early days of the nation was also full of conflict. Some of these conflicts were necessary conflicts, while others, looking back with perfect hindsight, were more avoidable. Regardless of how avoidable or unavoidable the conflicts in the United States of America were during the early years of the colony, however, they were very important for the development ...

Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are often synonymous to the remote controlled jet-like machines currently used by the military to conduct reconnaissance and stealth operations in major conflicts around the globe.

In recent years, manufacturers have managed to replicate the technology used by these million dollar machines and miniaturize them for commercial use. Many consumers use these drones for leisure or photography, but there are also groups using these drones for questionable activities like stalking, spying and even ...

The US military attempted to handle the Vietnam War with tactics similar to what they learned in World War II. In World War 2, they learned to make tank divisions and send those tanks as the lead-in attack force. After the tanks had bowed a hole into the rival ranks, the infantry was supposed to follow the tanks and protect the hole. The process was supposed to weaken the two halves and make it easier to handle and force into retreat. The plan was to work perfectly, but in the Vietnam jungle, they were unable to do so because ...

American and Arabic films are fundamentally different as espoused in Lina Khatib’s article. In movies containing American and Arabic characters, American characters appear superior to their Arabic counterparts in the manner in which they are presented. This is clearly evident in the movie Lawrence of Arabia.

The film scenes in Lawrence of Arabia are mostly shot in a harsh desert environment. A point to note though is that the Arabs ...

When an event that took place is only made known by eye witness account that makes it veracity somewhat questionable as you have people who may not remember or even record what they have seen. The onus is now on the people studying or searching out this piece of history to select from this eyewitness information what they perceive to be facts and what might not carry so much weight. The strike of 1947 and 1948 was one of such events even though it was a watershed event that took place in colonial Africa and wrought victory over the ...

The use of off-road vehicles is associated with roads and tracks which frequently involves driving across untracked areas where there are no roads, as in the case of viewing animals in savanna environment or beach driving. Off-road vehicles allow people to penetrate remoter areas or sites which many other people cannot access. This creates potential for camping impacts, wildlife disturbance and pollution to occur at more remote and relatively unused sites. The use of off-road vehicles has been found to impact on soils, vegetation, wild-life and social conditions. This leads to the degradation of the environment which destroys and ...
