Japanese Expansion :)

Japan was aggressive in their military tactics and were committed to invading China. Even after they won Manchuria back they persisted that they still had a right to invade China. Was it more due to their need for expansion or was it revenge against China for turning to the League of Nations for support in regaining Manchuria? Going back to the failure of the League of Nations, was part of its failure the fact that nations could just withdraw at anytime? Japan easily left and then began attacking China with no issues. Also, why was China's preparation for the attacks of Japan so weak? They had the population and resources to attack, yet for so long the Japanese dominated.

Book Review:A silver Lining

Ok so I read the book Hiroshima. Although it was kind of depressing in that it discusses the effects of the atomic bomb dropped in Japan and how certain people dealt with its occurance... I think there was a silver-lining. I am not saying that this is the theme or most important part of the book but I do agree with the point it makes about community. In the beginning the author paints a picture that the community before the bomb was very separate and "look out for yourself". But when the bomb is dropped although DEVASTATING! It shows a shift in how things are laid out. People begin to help each other and come together! It is kind of how all disasters work and in the end like I said a silver-lining.

Technology: Good or Bad??

For almost the entire time of life technology has been considered improvement and innovation. It always seems countries and individuals are developing and trying to improve themselves! But is it really a good thing. This part of the chapter touches on the Great Depression. Although I think that technology is for the most part a helpful hand in our world there are times I think that it definitely causes some issues. I mean if our country wasn't so pressured to have all the latest gadgets would we be so materialistic? I don't think so!!! If life was simpler and people did not feel the need to spend money regularly do you think much of our history could have been prevented or changed?

Bulgaria WHAT!!

Ok so I am kind of confused as to Bulgaria's involvement in Serbia? I mean they pretty agressively attacked Serbia pushing them back to Kosvo ( I think is the name), anyways Serbia was pushed back to a little corner. Even with British and French help they were unable to stop the bulgaria agression. But I as confused as to bulgaria's motives and what was up with their intensity?

Germany's Epic Fail During World War One!

During World War One Germany made a lot of mistakes which caused them in my opinion be and EPIC FAIL during the war. the main topic of my discussion will be based around it's usage of U-boats and unrestricted warfare. Although unrestricted warfare was not permited due to freedom of the seas Germany felt that  there only chance of wining was to open it up again and try to stop the allies from recieving goods from the United States. Although it helped to stop Britain from gainign supplies for about six weeks in the end it resulted in the United States joining the war with the allied powers. Although this is what Germany wanted, so that they could also defeat the US, in the end it came back to bit them in the butt! The United States's support in the war secured the allies in winning the war and Germany's defeat. Their usage of unrestricted warfare not oly caused them to lose the war but also built up hostilities between countries b/c they could not "play by the rules." Germany although their illegal usage of unrestricted warfare allowed them to compete with the British navy, it caused them their ultimate defeat, which is why they were an epic fail!
