American civil war<br />

After several years of the war of independence<br />

the United States was comvirtio in a very stable<br />

nation the bad thing was in that the recidentes<br />

of the south began to a slave trade never seen<br />

and to the north it does not like that in a few<br />

words it is a war To the base of the racism


Abraham Lincoln<br />

lost a senatorial race<br />

in which he<br />

demanded a stop in<br />

the expansion of the<br />

slavery, but in 1860<br />

he and Douglas<br />

returned to face:<br />

this time like the<br />

presidential<br />

candidates<br />

Republican and<br />

Democrat. By then<br />

the tension between<br />

North and South<br />

was extreme. In<br />

1859, John Brown, a<br />

supporter of<br />

abolitionism, had<br />

attempted to<br />

initiate a slave<br />

rebellion in Virginia<br />

by attacking an army<br />

munitions depot.<br />

Brown was quickly<br />

captured, tried and<br />

sentenced to hang.<br />

After his execution<br />

many inhabitants of<br />

the North acclaimed<br />

.<br />

him like martyr.<br />

However, the<br />

whites of the South<br />

were convinced that<br />

the North was<br />

unwilling to<br />

maintain state<br />

liberties within the<br />

confederation of<br />

states that then<br />

constituted the<br />

United States of<br />

Americamany<br />

inhabitants of the<br />

North acclaimed him<br />

like martyr. However,<br />

the whites of the South<br />

were convinced that<br />

the North was unwilling<br />

to maintain state<br />

liberties within the<br />

confederation of states<br />

that then constituted<br />

the United States of<br />

America


Douglas urged Southern Democrats to remain in<br />

the Union, but these in turn named their own<br />

presidential candidate (John C. Breckinridge) and<br />

threatened to split up if the Republicans were<br />

victorious; There was also another Southern<br />

candidate who opposed Lincoln, John C. Bell.<br />

Most in the southern and border states voted<br />

against Lincoln, but the North supported him and<br />

won the election. In March 1861, when Lincoln<br />

took office, South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida,<br />

Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas were<br />

constituted in the Confederate States of America<br />

with Jefferson Davis as president, proclaiming his<br />

secession from the Union, act Which Lincoln<br />

declared illegal in his inaugural address. The first<br />

act of war was the confederate assault on the<br />

Fort Sumter garrison on April 12, 1861. Army<br />

repression of Fort Sumter caused the<br />

Confederate states to join Virginia, Arkansas,<br />

Tennessee, and North Carolina. Thus began the<br />

civil war between the Confederate States of the


South and the States of the North, which would<br />

end the victory of the latter in 1865


The great war the beginning<br />

of the greatest massacre in<br />

human history the first world<br />

war was the base to give<br />

place to its predecessor the<br />

second world war all begins<br />

in a prenazista germany and<br />

a france in the sights of the<br />

german storyteller sometimes<br />

Smaller things unleash<br />

great disasters.<br />

A war developed mainly in<br />

Europe, which began on<br />

28 July 1914 and ended on<br />

11 November 1918, when


Germany accepted the<br />

terms of the armistice.<br />

After six months of<br />

negotiations at the<br />

Paris Peace Conference,<br />

on June 28, 1919 allied<br />

countries signed the<br />

Treaty of Versailles with<br />

Germany, and others over<br />

the next year with each of<br />

the defeated powers. More<br />

than nine million combatants<br />

and seven million civilians<br />

were killed, an extraordinarily<br />

high figure given the technological<br />

and industrial sophistication of


the belligerents. It is considered<br />

the fifth deadliest conflict in<br />

the history of mankind.c Such<br />

was the convulsion that<br />

provoked the war, which<br />

paved the way for great<br />

political changes, including<br />

numerous revolutions with<br />

a character never before<br />

seen in several of the<br />

nations involved


Second World War<br />

The largest begins in a Poland, Hungary,<br />

colossus of strong Nazi Czechoslovakia<br />

genocides Germany and among others<br />

World War II wanting to the best Nazi ally<br />

as already govern its first was The italy of<br />

mentioned objective was Mussolini and<br />

above all followed by Japanese<br />

ingloran an embarrassment for Germany<br />

while on the other side of the Pacific a united<br />

states colossus and on the other side the red<br />

bear USSR or Soviet Russia the only one<br />

that could and could for the great Nazi power<br />

but this alone Is the beginning of one of the<br />

greatest historical facts of human history


War war never changes<br />

The war causes of the outbreak of World<br />

War II are, in the West, the invasion of<br />

Poland by the German troops and, in the<br />

East, the Japanese invasion of China, the<br />

British, Dutch colonies and later the attack<br />

on Pearl Harbor.<br />

World War II erupted after these<br />

aggressive actions received a declaration<br />

of war, armed resistance or both, by the<br />

aggressed countries and those with whom<br />

they had treaties. At first, the Allied<br />

countries were formed only by Poland, the<br />

United Kingdom and France, while Axis<br />

forces were made up only of Germany and<br />

Italy in an alliance called the Steel Pact.<br />

THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES,<br />

ESTABLISHED THE COMPENSATION<br />

THAT GERMANY HAD TO PAY TO THE<br />

VICTORS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR.<br />

THE UNITED KINGDOM OBTAINED<br />

MOST OF THE GERMAN COLONIES IN<br />

AFRICA AND OCEANIA (ALTHOUGH<br />

SOME WENT TO JAPAN AND<br />

AUSTRALIA). FRANCE, ON WHOSE<br />

SOIL MOST OF THE COMBATS OF THE<br />

WESTERN FRONT WERE FOUGHT,<br />

RECEIVED AS PAYMENT A GREAT<br />

ECONOMIC INDEMNITY AND THE<br />

RECOVERY OF ALSACE AND<br />

LORRAINE, WHICH HAD BEEN<br />

ANNEXED TO GERMANY BY OTTO<br />

VON BISMARCK AFTER THE FRANCO-<br />

PRUSSIAN WAR IN 1870


IN THE RED ARMY IT<br />

TKES MORE COURAGE<br />

TO ADVANCE TO<br />

RETREAT


January 1945-April<br />

1945 With the Balkans<br />

and most of Hungary<br />

cleared of German troops<br />

in late December 1944,<br />

the Soviets began a<br />

massive redeployment of<br />

their forces to Poland for<br />

their impending winter<br />

offensive. Soviet<br />

preparations were still<br />

underway, when<br />

Churchill asked Stalin to<br />

launch his offensive as<br />

soon as possible to<br />

relieve German pressure<br />

in the West. Stalin<br />

agreed and the offensive<br />

was arranged for January<br />

12, 1945. Könov's armies<br />

attacked the Germans in<br />

southern Poland and<br />

expanded from their<br />

bridgehead on the Vistula<br />

near Sandomierz. On 14<br />

January, Rokossovsky's<br />

armies attacked from the<br />

Narew River north of<br />

Warsaw. The Zhukov<br />

armies, located in the<br />

center, attacked from<br />

their.<br />

Hitler believed that the<br />

main objective for the<br />

impending Soviet<br />

offensive would be in the<br />

south near Prague, not<br />

Berlin, and had sent the<br />

last German reserves to<br />

defend in that sector. The<br />

main objective of the Red<br />

Army was actually Berlin<br />

and by April 16 was ready<br />

to begin its final assault on<br />

to begin its final assault on<br />

Berlin. Zhukov's forces<br />

struck the center and<br />

crossed the river Oder but<br />

were detained because of<br />

desperate German<br />

resistance in the Seelow<br />

Heights. After three days of<br />

very hard fighting and<br />

33,000 dead Soviet soldiers,<br />

31 the last defenses of<br />

Berlin were penetrated.<br />

Konon crossed the Oder<br />

River from the south and<br />

found that he could attack<br />

Berlin but Stalin ordered him<br />

to guard the flanks of<br />

Zhukov's forces and not<br />

attack Berlin.<br />

Rokossovskiy's forces<br />

crossed the Oder from the<br />

north and linked with Field<br />

Marshal Bernard<br />

Montgomery's forces in<br />

northern Germany while<br />

Zhukov's and Konon's<br />

forces captured Berlin<br />

By 24 April, Soviet army<br />

groups had surrounded the<br />

9th German Army and part<br />

of the 4th Panzer Army.<br />

These were the main forces<br />

that supposedly had to<br />

defend Berlin, but Hitler had<br />

given orders to these forces<br />

that they stood where they<br />

were and that they did not<br />

back down. So the main<br />

German forces that<br />

supposedly had to defend<br />

Berlin, were trapped to the<br />

southeast of the city. Berlin<br />

was more or less surrounded<br />

at this time, and as a final<br />

resistance effort, Hitler called<br />

on civilians, including<br />

teenagers and elders, to fight<br />

in the Volkssturm militia<br />

against the Red Army<br />

Which was approaching.<br />

These marginal forces<br />

were augmented by the<br />

battered German<br />

remains that had fought<br />

against the Soviets in the<br />

Seelow Heights. Hitler<br />

ordered the fenced 9th<br />

Army to break the siege<br />

and link with General<br />

Walther Wenck's 12th<br />

Army and free Berlin. An<br />

impossible task, the<br />

surviving units of the 9th<br />

Army were led into the<br />

woods surrounding<br />

Berlin, near the village of<br />

Halbe, where they were<br />

involved in a particularly<br />

hard struggle, trying to<br />

break the Soviet lines<br />

and reach the 12th Army<br />

. A minority managed to<br />

join the 12th Army


So the bastard is dead<br />

What bad luck that we<br />

do not catch him alive<br />

Peace and Justice<br />

are two sides of the<br />

same coin<br />

The War ends in Europe<br />

Roosevelt, Churchill, and<br />

Stalin reached agreements<br />

for postwar Europe at the<br />

Yalta Conference in<br />

February 1945. Their<br />

meeting reached many<br />

important resolutions, such<br />

as the formation of the<br />

United Nations, democratic<br />

elections in Poland, the<br />

borders of Poland Moved<br />

westward at the expense of<br />

Germany, Soviet nationals<br />

would be repatriated, and it<br />

was agreed that the Soviet<br />

Union would attack Japan<br />

within three months of<br />

Germany's surrender<br />

The Allies resumed their advance into<br />

Germany in late January. The final obstacle<br />

for the Allies was the Rhine River, which was<br />

crossed at the end of March 1945, aided by<br />

the fortuitous capture of the Ludendorff<br />

Bridge at Remagen. Once the Allies had<br />

crossed the Rhine, the British fanned northeast<br />

towards Hamburg, crossing the Elbe<br />

River and moving towards Denmark and the<br />

Baltic Sea<br />

LITTLE BOY<br />

FAT MAN<br />

On August 6, 1945, a B-29 Superfortress, the Enola Gay, launched an<br />

atomic bomb nicknamed Little Boy over Hiroshima, destroying the city.<br />

On August 9, a B-29 named Bockscar launched the second atomic<br />

bomb, nicknamed Fat Man, on the port city of Nagasaki.<br />

Japanese Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu signs the Japan<br />

Surrender Act aboard the US battleship USS Missouri on September 2,<br />

1945.<br />

On 8 August, two days after the atomic bomb had been dropped on<br />

Hiroshima, the Soviet Union, having denounced its non-aggression<br />

pact with Japan in April, attacked the Japanese in Manchuria, fulfilling<br />

its promise made in Yalta to attack The Japanese three months after<br />

the end of the war in Europe. The attack was made by three Soviet<br />

army groups. In less than two weeks, the Japanese army in Manchuria,<br />

which consisted of about one million men, had been destroyed by the<br />

Soviets. The Red Army moved to North Korea on August 18. Korea<br />

was then divided on the 38th parallel in the Soviet and American<br />

zones.<br />

The US use of atomic weapons against Japan and the Soviet invasion<br />

of the Manchukuo caused Hirohito to hasten to overthrow the existing<br />

government and intervene to end the war. In his radio address to the<br />

nation, the Emperor did not mention the entry of the Soviet Union into<br />

the war, but in his "rewriting of the soldiers and sailors" of August 17,<br />

ordering the ceasefire and handing over the arms, accentuated the<br />

Relationship between the entry of the Soviets into the war and their<br />

decision to surrender, omitting any mention of the atomic bombs.the<br />

Japanese surrendered on August 14, 1945, or Victory Day on Japan,<br />

signing the Japanese Instrument of Surrender on September 2.<br />

Japanese troops in China formally surrendered on September 9, 1945.
