 * Vocabulary:** Yellow Journalism- is a type of journalism that downplays legitimate news in favor of eye-catching headlines that sell more newspapers.

When? War began in April 1898 and lasted until August 1898. The war officially end by signing the Treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898.
 * Basic information of the Spanish American War**:

Where? Combat took place in the Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Guam.

Who? This was a war between the United States and Spain.

How? Began when the United States sent the //USS Maine// to Havana Harbor to protect US interests in Cuba after the Spanish began suppressing the Cubans violently. When the USS Maine was destroyed in the Havana Harbor, the press claimed it was Spain's doing and we should help the Cubans. President McKinley went to war on the grounds of protecting Cuban interest. USS Maine sunk in 1898 in Havana Harbor Details:
 * Politics:** What policies created by the US government launched us into war? Monroe Document (1822) claimed that European powers would no longer try and influence the western hemisphere nor would they be allowed to continue to colonize. If European powers would try, the United States felt it appropriate to go to war in order to protect the West.

Was their a lot of government support for the war and why? If not explain who was against it? There was a lot of support for the war because of propaganda and yellow journalism. Yellow Journalism exaggerated stories that influenced the public to cry for war against the Spanish. The stories would show the Spanish as evil murderous people to the Cubans. The US people felt the need to protect those peoples and after the USS Maine was destroyed the US went to war because they felt they were attacked. President James Monroe was the creator of the Monroe Document. Did the United States formally declare war in Congress and when? If yes, what was the outcome of the vote? If not, explain the policy that allowed our government to launch a military campaign. The US asked Congress to declare war on Spain in order to end the civil war in Cuba. It passed in the Senate by 42 to 35 and the House 311 to 6. The US declared war on April 23 1898.

When and what was the first battle the U.S. took part of in the war? First battle was May 1, 1898 in Manila Bay Philippines. It was fought between Admiral Dewey's Asiatic Fleet and the Spanish Fleet. The US fleet was outnumbered but destroyed the Spanish Fleet and had to wait for reinforcements in order to invade the Philippines.
 * Military:** Where was most of the combat taken place?

When and what was the turning point battle the US were a part of? How did it change the war? The Battle of San Juan Hill and the Battle of Kettle Hill were fought on July 1st 1898. It was the turning point because these two hills were the high ground that surrounded the capital city of Santiago and the bay. This was also where the Spanish held most of their forces. Controlling these hills allowed the US to bombard the Spanish Fleet and capital. //USS Oylmpia// was Admiral Dewey's flagship of the Asiatic Squadron and the sister ship of the //Maine//. What technological advancements did the war produce? Was the United States first war in which they did not employ Napolean war tactics which were used in the civil war. Napolean tactics were old fashion line warfare that used volly attacks and then charge. The Spanish American War did not allow for this kind of warfare due to the jungle terrain. Troops dug defensive implacements and put maximum firepower on the enemy's position. The end result would be a final charge to eliminate enemy positions with use of cavalry to defend their flanks.
 * Technology and Tactics:**

Were there any unique tactics the US military used to help win the war? They used many volunteer groups in combat. One of them became very famous and they were called the Rough Riders. Many of them were infantry units while others were small cavalry volunteer groups. They were assigned a military leader but mostly were comprised of eager citizens to go war and fight. Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders were comprised of prisoners, West Point undergrads and cowboys. What did the Home Front do to help during the war? There were many US citizens that created volunteer groups. The 1st, 8th, 12th, 13th, 14th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Units took part in combat during the Spanish American War. Many US citizens enlisted creating a large and inexperienced army for the US army to employ. The 8th Pennsylvania Volunteer Unit at Camp Meade. What kind of media was used to report on the war? Newspapers were the main media for US citizens. The New York Journal and The New York World used their newspapers to write sensational stories to inspire the US population to buy their newspapers. It also created a lot of sentiment for war in Spain and created a large support among the population which encouraged Congress to go to war.
 * Home Front:**

Was their any unpopular support for the war? Who were they and why? The war was popular and the American population had little negative feelings for the war. After the war the American population were guardians and would have to fight a long campaign to subdue rebels in the Philippines and Cuba. The American population would wavier and begin to decrease as occupation began to take a toll.

The hand grenade which was already in existence was improved greatly during this time. Artillery had advanced the most out of all the weapons during World War 1. Poison gas had been the most advanced chemical industry in the world. The radio, aircraft, and microphones were brought into the war. Railways dominated in this war as in no other. Through men and materials could be moved at unprecedented rates. Submarines were serious weapons of this war in other year they did not have all the components to run them until now.

This poster was used to recruit Americans for World War One. <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;"> In World War One, industry production in America exploded to keep up supporting the War with supplies. More employment was available for African American women because all men were active in duty. Jobs that were only available to white men were now run by African-American women. The industry slowed once the war was over because soldiers returned home and manufactures didn’t need to keep up with the demand for supplies. Fewer jobs were available for the coming home soldiers which arose to a large amount of unemployment. This was the first stepping stone for the coming Great Depression. World War I was mainly opposed by <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; text-decoration: none;">left-wing groups, but there was also opposition by <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; text-decoration: none;">ChristianPacifist groups.

When-1939-1945 Where- Hawaii, Poland Germany Russia U boats fought off the coast of New York England Greece California How- they used up to date technology Why- because of Hitler slaying the Jews and the Nazis invaded Poland

Politics- we cut off Japans oil supply and they needed oil so they bombed Pearl Harbor which caused us to go to war with the japes.

Military It was fought in Hawaii and in the air and in many other countries such as France and Germany. This war was fought all over the world. There were over 15 countries that were involved in it. The US first entered the war on December 7 1941 when pearl harbor was under attack. The Japanese started a war that they could not win. They knew going into it they couldn’t defeat us unless the attack on pearl harbor was 100 percent successful. In June of 1942 just 6 months after pearl harbor was the battle of midway which took place of the pacific ocean. There were 248 carrier ships sunk and 3057 casualties in this battle. This was a turning point because we defeated the japaneeses navy and kept them from getting to the oil they wanted.

This picture was to support the woman wanting to join the military. The film and poster she appeared in were used by the government to encourage woman to go and work in support of the war effort. The reason why the women were taking the men’s jobs was because they were off fighting in the Pacific and European the theatres.

During WWII propaganda was used to pretty much make fun of everything going on. Propaganda is used for pros and cons of war. I think that everyone has an opinion on war and propaganda is used to get you thinking back about everything that happened.

During World War 2 appeasement was unpopular support. Appeasement is the policy of setting international quarrel by admitting and satisfying grievances through rational negotiation and compromise. So this is saying that there should be peace instead of fighting.

It was started by the North Korean’s attack on the South Koreans. It was officially announced by North Korea at 11. A.m. That day.

<span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msobidifontfamily: arial;">**Where?** <span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msoasciifontfamily: calibri; msobidifontfamily: arial; msofareastfontfamily: 'times new roman'; msohansifontfamily: calibri;">It began south of the 38th parallel when North Korea attacked South Korea.

<span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msobidifontfamily: arial;">**How?** <span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msoasciifontfamily: calibri; msobidifontfamily: arial; msofareastfontfamily: 'times new roman'; msohansifontfamily: calibri;">Containment was the main cause of Korean conflict. It was a policy adopted by the US to contain communist governments.

<span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msobidifontfamily: arial;">**Who?** <span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msoasciifontfamily: calibri; msobidifontfamily: arial; msofareastfontfamily: 'times new roman'; msohansifontfamily: calibri;">North Korea attacked South Korea just south of the 38th parallel that was then serving as a border.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">** Politics **

<span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msobidifontfamily: arial;">**What policies created by the US government launched us into War?** <span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msoasciifontfamily: calibri; msobidifontfamily: arial; msofareastfontfamily: 'times new roman'; msohansifontfamily: calibri;">The main policy known to have helped put the US in the Korean war was namely Containment. Containment was the strategy used to contain any further spread of communism in the cold war.

<span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msobidifontfamily: arial;">**Was there a lot of government support for the war and who were they? If not explain who was against it.** <span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msoasciifontfamily: calibri; msobidifontfamily: arial; msofareastfontfamily: 'times new roman'; msohansifontfamily: calibri;">There was a large amount of support for the containment policy, because of the time that this policy was adopted. Mostly it was adopted for the Greeks by president Truman. This was to help keep people free, which meant many Americans supported it.

<span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msobidifontfamily: arial;">**Did the United States formally declare war in Congress and when?

Only to send troops to support south Korea, but there was a vote and it was in agreement to support the non-communist from becoming communist. This fear of communism was real for them and so the US sent troops into Asia, but it was generally controlled more by the UN then the US.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">**Where was most of the combat taken place?** <span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; msoasciifontfamily: calibri; msobidifontfamily: arial; msofareastfontfamily: 'times new roman'; msohansifontfamily: calibri;">B <span style="color: #231f20; font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; msoasciifontfamily: calibri; msobidifontfamily: arial; msofareastfontfamily: 'times new roman'; msohansifontfamily: calibri;">ecause most of the combat action of the Korean War took place over the Korean peninsula, the bulk of the Navy’s aerial contribution to the war took the form of carrier-based tactical aircraft. For Navy patrol squadrons (VP), the war was fought primarily on the peripheries of the main front, mostly in sea-controland sea-denial missions, and other roles such as mine hunting.

<span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msobidifontfamily: arial;">**When and what the first battle the U.S. took part in the war?** <span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msoasciifontfamily: calibri; msobidifontfamily: arial; msofareastfontfamily: 'times new roman'; msohansifontfamily: calibri;">In September 15, 1950 communist efforts to divide the South Koreans against themselves having failed, the North Koreans decided to attempt their subjugation by military force. At 0400, Sunday, 25 June 1950 (Korean Time), North Korean forces crossed the 38th parallel into the Republic and launched their main effort toward the South Korean capital city of Seoul, down the P'och'on-Uijongbu and Yonch'on-Uijongbu corridors. Strong attacks were also directed through Kaesong toward Munsan on the right, and toward Ch'unch'on on the left. On the west coast the Ongjin Peninsula was quickly captured. On the east coast a land column and a small seaborne detachment met near Kangnung.

<span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msobidifontfamily: arial;">**When and what was the turning point battle the U.S. were part of?** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msoansilanguage: en; msoasciifontfamily: calibri; msobidifontfamily: arial; msofareastfontfamily: 'times new roman'; msohansifontfamily: calibri;">The battle began on September 15, 1950, and ended around September 28. Through a surprise amphibious assault far from the Pusan perimeter that UN and South Korean forces were desperately defending, Inchon was secured. The battle ended a string of victories by the invading North Korean People’s army (NKPA). The subsequent UN recapture of nearby Seoul severed the NKPA's supply lines, placing North Korean forces in South Korea in a dangerously untenable situation.

<span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msobidifontfamily: arial;">The A-1 Skyraider was used in the Korean War.It was produced at the end of the Second World War and was used frequently in Korea because it could carry more fuel and a lot more ammo.Guns were placed in the wings.Jet engine planes were introduced in the American military at the end of World War II, but the Jet planes were not used as much as they would be during the Korean War.Helicopters were also greatly used for the first time in this war.Guided cruise missiles were first used during this war.The Air Force gained its independence and bombed areas quite frequently.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">** Were there any unique tactics the U.S. military used to win the war? **

<span style="color: black; font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msobidifontfamily: arial;">American forces used jet propelled planes to outrun, outgun, and destroy the vintage planes used by the enemy forces.Their planes were top of the line compared to the North Koreans.The planes could hold more ammo, could carry more fuel, and had armor that was at least five times stronger than the enemy planes

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msoansilanguage: en-us; msobidifontfamily: arial; msobidilanguage: ar-sa; msofareastfontfamily: 'times new roman'; msofareastlanguage: en-us;">The home front didn’t really help during the war, they tried to play it off that the war wasn’t happening because they were still tired, poor, and wore down from World War II. The president at the time didn’t even refer to it as a war but as “police action.” The only people that really were involved with the war at home were the families that had sons at war.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">**What kind of media was used to report on this war?**

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msoansilanguage: en-us; msobidifontfamily: arial; msobidilanguage: ar-sa; msofareastfontfamily: 'times new roman'; msofareastlanguage: en-us;">There wasn’t much media coverage for this war due to the fact that it was very unpopular. Major Walter Pennino opened up an army news agency in Kansas City releasing documents and news about soldiers and the events occurring overseas. This was designed to inform those families whose sons were thousands of miles away giving their lives for their country. The war wasn’t talked about much in America considering most of the population was completely against it.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">**Was there any unpopular support for the war? Who were they and why?**

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msoansilanguage: en-us; msobidifontfamily: arial; msobidilanguage: ar-sa; msofareastfontfamily: 'times new roman'; msofareastlanguage: en-us;">The war was frowned upon because America had just finished a very costly war. World War II cost America more than money. The war had cost them the lives of many sons, fathers, husbands, wives, and machinery. American citizens did not want to go into a war that they believed they had no part of. So to answer the question, yes the war was very unpopular and had a lot of negative support.

When- From 1959 to april 30th 1975 Where- Vietnam, Laos and cambodia How- American president eissenhower didn’t want communism to get to america. Who- The president because he didn’t want communists to take over Military Most of the combat toke place in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Involvement peaked in 1968 at the time of the Tet offensive. Under a policy called Vietnamization, U.S. forces withdrew as South Vietnamese troops were trained and armed. Despite a Peace treaty signed by all parties in January 1973, fighting continued. In response to the Anti-war movement, the U.S. Congress passed the Case-church amendment in June 1973 prohibiting further U.S. military intervention. In April 1975, North Vietnam Captured Saigon. North and South Vietnam were reunified the following year. Technology and tactics One of the technology advancements of the Vietnam war where aircrafts. They used combat aircraft such as the a-1 sky raider which was used to drop bombs on the enemies. Now tanks were brought in this war. Tanks can take out buildings and mostly anything. Then one of the big things was chemical warfare. The chemical warfare which could be stopped my the men wherein there masks. The chemicals would get into the lungs and suffocate you till you die. Politics on Vietnam: The Vietnam War was fought between 1945 and 1975 and basically affected the whole world.It was a fight between South Vietnam and North Vietnam the South was very west influenced and was supported by the U.S.A, France, and Britain while the North was supported by China and the soviet.Most other countries supported North Vietnam but quietly because they didn’t want to come into the wrong side with the U.S.A. The cause of this War was from the cold war when the U.S had fought the soviet. The U.S was terrified of Communism and were prepared to do anything to prevent Asia from establishing that. So this became more of a War Ideologies than war between nations. Which is why this was a War with South Vietnam, France, Britain, and the U.S.A and on the other side North Vietnam, China and the soviet and that is why it became such a big scale on casualties. Home front The first media view for people was when they had their first television broadcast in the 1960’s when the U.S set up to channels one Vietnamese language and the other in English. The national broadcaster Vietnam television was established in Hanoi with assistance and technology from Cuba. A journalist by the name John Pilger’swas there experiencing the war and coming back with summary’s and ended up writing books and such he received many awards and was well respected.A lot of media’s focus was on how many soldiers have lost lives through out this battle 20,000 perished. ||

<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">What policies crated by the US government launched us into war? The Patriot Act <span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Was their a lot of government support for the war and who were they? There was a lot of government support by George Bush and those who wanted to declared war on Iraq.Now a days there isn’t as much support as there used to be. <span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Did the United States formally declare war in Congress and when?In 2003 the United States officially declared war on Iraq.It united and strengthening America by providing appropriate tolls and required to intercept, extract, and destroy terrorists.

George W. Bush <span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Where was most of the combat taken place?- Most of the combat has taken place in Iraq. A city in which a lot of combat has taken place was is Fallujiah. <span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">When and what was the first battle of the U.S. were a part of? How many forces were committed? What were the casualties? How did it change the war? The first battle of the war in Iraq occurred in the city of Fallujiah. Marines say it was the heaviest urban combat that they have had to deal with since the Vietnam War. 95 U.S. Marines died and 560 were wounded. The U.S. killed 1,350 + and captured maybe more than 1,500. It never really changed the war because not many citizens wanted to be there and the home front means a lot.

An American Soldier <span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">What technological advancements did the war produce? Much technological advancement has come about in the Iraq war. Many things that we have used in the past have become much better, much better than they were 10 years ago in the first gulf war. <span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Where there any unique tactics the US military used to help win the war? Tactics used in this war have been airstrikes, intense urban combat, and many night prisoner extraction missions. They tactics are just about the same as they were in the first gulf war just the technology has become better.

<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">What did the home front do to help during the war? The home front has done a lot to help out soilders and fallen vets of the Iraq war. However the home front has not been on the side of our government. The majority of people in the country do not think we should be there and that we are wasting our time and US lives. <span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">What kind of media was used to report on the war? Internet has been huge with the war in Iraq. For the first time you can watch videos of actual combat happening in Iraq. It hasn’t been able to happen in any war that the US has been in so far so you can see first hand what is going on. <span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Was their any unpopular support for the war? Who were they and why? Yes there is a lot of unpopular support for the war. In the beginning it was fine because the American people thought that we would be basically going in and getting out once Saddam was taken out. Its 2009 and we went to war in 2003. That explains it all.
