Why was World War 2 necessary?
World War II was necessary for a variety of reasons. From the side of the aggressor-nation, Germany, it was necessary because of the supposed German need for 'living-space' and also because of the supposed right of Germany to exert its will upon other nations. From the side of Germany's opponents, it was necessary for the sake of survival against the aggression of Germany and its allies.
What is the fleet's primary mission According to Alfred Thayer Mahan?
According to Alfred Thayer Mahan, the fleet's primary mission is to project national power and secure maritime dominance, which is essential for protecting trade routes and national interests. He emphasized that a strong navy is crucial for a country's economic prosperity and global influence. Mahan believed that control of the sea is vital for achieving strategic objectives and ensuring national security. Ultimately, maintaining a powerful fleet enables a nation to deter adversaries and exert influence on the international stage.
How did Iraq become a state?
The modern country of Iraq is a result of the British Empire and how the territories of the Ottoman Empire were divided after World War I. In 1919, the British established the Class A Mandate for Iraq. The British installed a Hashemite monarchy in Iraq and the country was given nominal independence in 1932, but British troops were still stationed in the country. In 1941, Iraqi Arab Nationalist leaders (Rashid al-Gaylani and the Golden Square) ejected the British and the Iraqi Hashemite monarchy for short while, before they both returned later in the year. In 1947, British troops began their withdrawal, which finalized in 1954.The monarchy was overthrown in 1958 by General Abd el-Karim Qasim who ruled Iraq completely independently of the British for the first time in Iraq's history. Iraq was ruled by military generals like Qasim until 1968. At that point, the Ba'athists led by Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr performed a coup d'état and established the Ba'athist Iraqi State, which was first ruled by al-Bakr and then by his lieutenant Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein ruled Iraq until 2003, when he was removed by the US-led Coalition and current Republic of Iraq was instated in 2006. Iraq is currently considered a failed state by many in political circles since the Shiite-majority government does not effectively exert control over both the Kurdish Regional Government in the North and the Islamic State Government in the northwest.
When did the battle of New Orleans happen?
The battle, on January 8, 1815, was the last battle of the War of 1812 between the US and Britain. It occurred because the British, having successfully attacked some cities on the East Coast, tried to exert pressure on the US by seizing New orleans, the valuable port through which all frontier commerce had to pass along the Mississippi River. The peace treaty had already been signed at Ghent (December 24, 1814), but had yet to reach Congress. It was not ratified until February 18, 1815. A British victory might have resulted in a continued British presence in the lower Mississippi Valley. There were actually several reasons why the war of 1812 started. The official reason as made clear in the declaration of war by the United States of America to Great Britain was the Impression Issue that was made by the British Government under their Orders-in-Council. This Impression Issue is an act whereby men are forced by the government for induction into military service. The British stopped US ships and took crewmen from them claiming they were British-born and therefore British subjects. Moreover, American ships were seized because they had such crewmen, or because they had cargoes on which British duties were claimed due.
What are the secret movements determined to over throw the existing government?
Countless rogue factions would be interested in overthrowing the US government, from the American anarchist movements, to white supremecist movements and myriad nations that have agendas counter to US agendas. The outright overthrow of the US government is nearly an absurd proposition, but there are a number of highly effective and well-disguised organizations that exert stunning control over US policies and actions, both domestically and internationally. Any sensible, rational study/grasp of US government policies reveals that the best interests of the common American, (best described as the vast middle class), are being sidestepped in lieu of hidden agendas persued by a relatively small group of self-appointed, elite overlords that maintain the illusion that America is a democracy. It is not, by any stretch of the imagination. And imagination and delusion is nurtured among the public. The political hierarchy that is presented to the public in our nation's capital is a ruse, a hoax, the grandest stage show in human history - and the stakes could not be higher. The American public does not elect anyone. Candidates that are favorable to the hidden agendas are selected by our hidden masters, and through immensely sophisticated public opinion management, the desired candidate is "elected", ostensibly through the electorate. The "right/left" dichotomy is the critical aspect of manufacturing legitimacy. It is the central distraction and diversion to allow Americans to believe that their best interests matter. To genuinely grasp the methodology and tactics exerted by immensely powerful and self-serving groups on American policies that are directly contrary to the public good, one needs look no further than what is largely recognized as the most feared lobby in our nation's capital - AIPAC, (the American/Israeli Public Affairs Committee). The pursuit of favorable legislation and economic and military support of all things Israeli is the critical agenda of AIPAC- and these ends are wildly successful - year after year. This is an incredibly sophisticated, multi-faceted and well-financed organization that makes and breaks political careers at the highest levels based on unwavering support of Israeli policies. Equally important, is the management of information reaching the general public so that mass opinion is shaped in favor of Israel, regardless of the reality. Other extremely powerful organizations also exert remarkable influence on US political policies - often from the shadows and in secret. The industrial military complex, (those profiting from the manufacture of the tools and supplies of war), the banking industry, (that controls US economic and monetary policies) and large US industries of all types. Washington DC is infected with a cancer. A cancer of self-interest where honor and integrity are all but lost - even laughable to those fully aware of the mechanisms of control. The genuine levers of power are wielded by persons that most Americans will never know of - or even be aware of. Your reality is being manufactured - your opinions and beliefs shaped. Patriotism, blind loyalty and national pride are the underlying foundation. Research the realities of the introduction, (hoaxing), of the "Federal Reserve Banking System" on the American people in 1913, and the stunning implications. Study the true motivations and results of the Balfour Declaration and the ways, (and reasons), that the US became involved in WWI and the shear numbers of American dead. Understand that the United States IRS is not only an illegal entity - it is an unconstitutional organization. Yet these, and a bevy of other realities are woven into the vast body of sanitized history best described as American mythology.
