When World War 1 broke out in 1914‚ President Woodrow Wilson declared the United States neutral. Although U.S. soldiers did not fight until 1917‚ the country was never technically impartial in the conflict. Cultural and economic ties‚ U.S. predilection‚ and global political ideals manifested a tip in American scales toward the Allies‚ ultimately leading to the nation’s entrance in World War 1. In a message to Congress in August of 1914‚ President Wilson concedes that it is natural for Americans

During World War II‚ D-Day was one of the most‚ if not the most‚ important day for the Allies. D-Day was the day the Allies sent American‚ British‚ and Canadian troops to the coast of Normandy to reclaim France. In secrecy‚ we planned the attack against Hitler and the Nazis.

If we have money it is a hard job to spend it‚ if you go the coffee shop or canteen‚ you have to wait about two hours before it is your turn to be served. If I get through this lot‚ no more for me.”2 War is definitely not what I expected it to be.

In these poems the battlefield is not the main focus of the poem‚ but the feeling or ideas of the speaker itself. Another

It is important to take note of human boundaries‚ those set by our evolved‚ genetic code. In War of the Worlds‚ H.G.
