K12 ~ 5.09: War's End
10th grade.

First, read this quote from Harry S. Truman, in regards to dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki:
August 5, 1963

Dear Kup:

I appreciated most highly your column of July 30th, a copy of which you sent me.

I have been rather careful not to comment on the articles that have been written on the dropping of the bomb for the simple reason that the dropping of the bomb was completely and thoroughly explained in my Memoirs, and it was done to save 125,000 youngsters on the American side and 125,000 on the Japanese side from getting killed and that is what it did. It probably also saved a half million youngsters on both sides from being maimed for life.

You must always remember that people forget, as you said in your column, that the bombing of Pearl Harbor was done while we were at peace with Japan and trying our best to negotiate a treaty with them.

All you have to do is to go out and stand on the keel of the Battleship in Pearl Harbor with the 3,000 youngsters underneath it who had no chance whatever of saving their lives. That is true of two or three other battleships that were sunk in Pearl Harbor. Altogether, there were between 3,000 and 6,000 youngsters killed at that time without any declaration of war. It was plain murder.

I knew what I was doing when I stopped the war that would have killed a half a million youngsters on both sides if those bombs had not been dropped. I have no regrets and, under the same circumstances, I would do it again -- and this letter is not confidential.

Sincerely yours,

Harry S. Truman


Question: Do you think dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the correct decision. Why or why not?

The story reveals a socioeconomic divide through the settings of Eatonville and Winter Park, highlighting differences in race and class. Delia's hard work and the community's reaction to Sykes's abuse outline the limits of societal intervention and Delia's personal struggle. Key moments, like the bullwhip discovery and Delia's stand, indicate foreshadowing and a shift in the power dynamic between the characters.

The first part of the story reveals that Delia and Sykes live in a socioeconomically challenging environment where Delia has to work hard to support herself despite the abusive nature of her marriage. Eatonville represents a predominantly African-American community with strong social ties, while Winter Park symbolizes the wealthier, possibly white-dominated areas where Delia works, highlighting the racial and economic divide. Delia's exhausting work as a washwoman symbolizes her struggle and the sweat she invests in her livelihood, which also refers to the story's title, "Sweat." The community's reaction to Sykes's treatment of Delia ranges from disapproval to intervention; however, social mores and limitations of the era often dictate a less direct approach to resolving such domestic issues.

In the context of Eatonville and Winter Park, these locales serve as distinct markers of economic and social disparity. Delia and Sykes' experiences within these communities offer a portrayal of the race and class dynamics during the time, providing a backdrop that significantly impacts their lives and choices. Delia's discovery of the bullwhip is a pivotal moment that foreshadows the underlying tension and potential violence in their relationship. Later in the story, when Delia takes a stand against Sykes, he is taken aback because it disrupts the established dynamic of power and control. Although he threatens her, his inaction at that moment might be influenced by surprise, fear, or a rare moment of clarity regarding the consequences.

The women’s movement began when women saw parallels between their situation and that of the slaves.

Slaves

The American Woman's Rights movement grew out of abolitionism in direct but complex ways. The movement's early leaders began their fight for social justice with the cause of the slaves, and learned from Anti-Slavery Societies how to organize, publicize and articulate a political protest. It wasn't long, however, before they also learned that many of the men who were opposed to slavery were also opposed to women playing active roles or taking speaking parts in abolitionist movement. The attempt to silence women at Anti-Slavery Conventions in the United States and England led directly to Elizabeth Cady Stanton's and Lucretia Mott's decision to hold the first Woman's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls, N.Y, in June 1848. One of the articles of belief proclaimed at that and subsequent conventions was that women were in some sense slaves too.

A group of young women in Afghanistan continued to study literature challenging strict Islamic law by the Taliban.

Here is a quick explanation about the Taliban and their politics with women:

The Taliban is a political group that operates in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The militia originates in the tribes that live in the border between these two countries and was formed in 1994, after the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, that lasted from 1979 to 1989.

It is officially considered as a terrorist organization by Russia, the European Union and the United States.

The Taliban regime prevented women from working and had strict rules on women's education. In some cases, women were prevented from accessing public hospitals so that they would not be treated by male doctors or nurses. The women could not leave the house without men's escorts and they left only through the back door of the bus. Women who were widows or who did not have children were not considered by the state and often faced hunger.

Roosevelt's Corollary was an addition to the Monroe Doctrine that declared the United States could intervene, or use military force to keep peace, in Latin American countries when necessary.  

Dollar Diplomacy focused on business. Taft believed the United States should invest in other countries to countries.  

Woodrow Wilson, the next president, followed Moral Diplomacy, which is also known as Missionary Diplomacy, the idea of refusing to recognize governments that were not democratic

Roosevelt's "big stick" was military  

Taft's "big stick" was business

The Roosevelt Corollary, Dollar Diplomacy, and Moral Diplomacy are all American foreign policy strategies. They differ in their methodologies: Roosevelt's policy promised to use military intervention to prevent instability in Latin American countries, Taft's Dollar Diplomacy utilized economics to influence other nations while Moral Diplomacy, pursued by Wilson, emphasized moral principles in supporting nations.

The Roosevelt Corollary, articulated in 1904 by President Theodore Roosevelt, was an extension of the Monroe Doctrine and reflected a more assertive American foreign policy in the Americas. The U.S. proclaimed the right and obligation to use military force as an international police power to correct any chronic wrongdoing by any Latin American nation that might threaten stability in the region.

Dollar Diplomacy, implemented by President William Howard Taft, substituted the military force with economic power, threatening American economic clout to secure agreements which are beneficial for the U.S. Unlike the use of military force in the Roosevelt Corollary, it preferred to use the nation's financial power to influence nations.

Moral Diplomacy, although not detailed in this question, was the policy followed by President Woodrow Wilson. This policy favored giving support to countries whose moral beliefs were analogous to that of the U.S., in an effort to spread democracy and foster peace. It sought to encourage nations to do what was morally right, rather than imposing American will through military force or economic influence.

The Crusades were military expeditions organized by western European Christians to keep in check the spread of Islam and recapture former Christian territories that now were Muslim. The Crusades began in 1095 and lasted for almost 200 years.

To some historians, even when these religious wars presented gruesome results, they ultimately were a factor in European civilization development as the growth of the system of indulgences and the reinforced link between Western Christendom, feudalism, and militarism, led to the Protestant Reformation.

The correct answers are "The government controls the means of production", "The government regulates a centrally planned economy", "Prices and wages are set by the government" and "A single authoritarian party holds complete power". A communist system is characterized by an authoritarian federal figure, which has absolute power over most or everything in the government and in society. The statements that fit under this type of system are, government controlling production, government regulating a centrally planned economy, government setting the prices and wages and a single party holding complete power.

In communism, key characteristics include government control over production, a centrally planned economy, set prices and wages by the government, and rule by a single authoritarian party.

The characteristics of a communist system include several key aspects directly related to the government's role in the economy. In a communist system:

In contrast to a market economy where supply and demand determine prices and wages, and businesses operate based on their own interests, a communist system centralizes these decisions. Entrepreneurs taking risks is generally not encouraged, as the economy does not support individual or private enterprise in the same way a capitalist market would. Examples of command economies with these characteristics can be seen in countries like Cuba and North Korea.

Tariffs are defined as an import or export tax on goods between sovereign states. The main purpose behind tariffs is to help or encourage local or national industries or markets so they can remain competitive. They are often used to help level or equalize the trade balance or trade deficit with other nations as well as to protect local industries in their infancy and to foster what's called 'import substitution industrialization'.

The conception of man in a state of nature varies from author to author.

According to Hobbes, all humans are by nature equal in physical and psychological faculties. From this equality and other causes in human nature, everyone is naturally willing to fight each other.

For Locke, in the state of nature all men are free so that each one may  order his actions and dispose of possessions and persons as he deems appropiate, within the limits of the law of nature.

Montesquieu affirms the thought process in humans before the formation of society. He said that human beings can have the faculty of knowing and thinking first about preserving their life in the state of nature. Humans can feel helpless and weak at first. Therefore, human beings in this state aren't capable of attacking themselves. Afterwards, humanity seeks food and, due to fear and sexual needs, eventually creates a society. Once the society is created, a state of war occurs between the different societies where they were all created in the same way. The purpose of war is the preservation of society and individuals. The formation of law within society is the reflection and application of reason.

Hobbe's point of view was challenged in the 18th century by Jean Jacques Rousseau, who said that Hobbes took socialized people and simply imagined them living outside the society in which they were raised. He affirms that people are not good or bad, but that they are born as a blank slate and the society and environment influence in which direction we support ourselves. In Rousseau's state of nature, people did not know each other enough to get into a conflict and they had normal values.

The correct answer is the letter A)Romans, Greeks, and Christians.  

The Byzantine Empire was a continuation of the Roman Empire of the East, which lasted until the fifteenth century, when the capital Constantinople was conquered by the Turks-Ottoman in 1453. The legacy left by the Byzantine Empire is broad ranging from commercial routes between West and East to contemporary civil codes. The Constantinople city, an ancient village of Greek fishermen, was urbanized around 330 A.C. by guidance of the Roman Emperor Constantine. Originally known as New Rome, Constantinople became the capital of the Roman Empire of the East and a large commercial center due to its privileged geographical location on the Bosphorus, a point of convergence between the western and eastern world. In addition, Constantinople was considered the greatest cultural center of the Christian world during the Middle Ages, mainly for the preservation of a great quantity of artists and thinkers works, of the antiquity, especially of the Greeks and the Romans. The activities of the copyist monks provided that the Renaissance thinkers could get in touch with the classics of antiquity. Even the Greek influence on the Byzantine Empire was enormous, to the point of replacing the use of Latin by the Greek in religious ceremonies and official documents.

The correct answer is A) Romans, Greeks and Christians.

The Byzantines called themselves “Romans” and their emperor “Emperor of the Romans” and their capital of “New Rome”. This happened because Constantine, a Roman Emperor relocated the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome to Byzantium, because of that they changed the city’s name to “New Rome”. Their common language was not Latin but it was Greek and in cultural terms, they had a big influence of Greeks.

Christianity was the defining feature of the Byzantine culture, the church was lead by the bishop of Constantinople because the Roman Empire was divided at that time.

During the development of human history in sub-Saharan Africa, we had the rising and falling of different kingdoms in different regions. In this essay, I will talk about 3 different kingdoms, which are great Zimbabwe, the Mali empire, and the Songhai empire. Those empires ruled different portions of the African continent and had strong importance in the evolution of modern Africa.

The first kingdom is known as the great Zimbabwe that ruled over a large part of modern Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. It was especially wealthy in cows and precious metals and stood astride a trade route that connected the region’s gold fields with ports on the Indian Ocean coast. The fortification city at Great Zimbabwe was mysteriously abandoned sometime in the 15th century after the state went into decay, but in its bloom, it was home to an estimated 20,000 people.

The foundation of the Mali Empire dates back to the 1200s. The Empire squeezed its government over a large portion of West Africa and grew rich on trade. Its most notable cities were Djenné and Timbuktu. The Mali Empire finally dismantled in the 16th century, but at its peak, it was one of the treasures of the African continent and was known the world over for its wealth and luxury.

The third empire called the Songhai empire was formed in the 15th century from some of the former regions of the Mali Empire, and the West Africa kingdom. In size, it was larger than Western Europe and comprised parts of a dozen modern-day African nations. Its success was due to strong trade systems and an advanced bureaucratic system that separated its vast holdings into distinct provinces, each controlled by its own governor. It reached its apogee in the early 16th century under the rule of the religious King Muhammad I Askia, who conquered new lands, formed an alliance with Egyptians Caliphs. It later decayed in the late 1500s after a time of civil war and inner strife left it open to an intrusion by the Sultan of Morocco.
