There were many so called "hotspots" in the events of the cold war from 1947 to 1991. The top 3 hotspots that you will always hear about are actually very well known. The Vietnam war, one of Americas only losses on the battlefield and in the offices. The Forgotten war also known as the Korea War. Last but not least of the three was the battle of minds and willpower. The Cuban Missile Crisis. The Cuban Missile Crisis is so well known that you can see reenactments of it in huge movie franchises like Marvel's X-Men. You can even hear about it in Robert De Niro's most recent movie "The Irishman". I don't think that the great war ever really came to an end. The fighting halted for a while but then the pot boiled over again and the world community was plunged into an even deeper hole of gruesome battles and atrocities that just harm. I don't believe it ever ended because the way that it resulted is the entire reason that the second world war even began. The Treaty of Versailles was created in spite of others instead of in light of others, that is why it just led to more conflict. I think the ways that our ancestors operated was not as simple as socialism. Nobody really owned land and everybody worked together for the greater good of the community. There was still classes of people, from Aliʻi all the way down to the Kauwā. This is a threat to the US because it is in their history to not know how to operate this way. They operate under the saying "Money makes the world go round". The system of capitalism that we live in today is not set up to help any native person or any minority. The Native American people are forced to live on reservations because they cannot afford a lifestyle like the people that put them down. This is similar to the black and hispanic community, housing is the best option that they have. The "hood" lifestyles that everybody envies so much wasn't even created by the people living in them. It was a creation of the people with money made to keep everybody else in check and keep them down. It was made to put everybody in a system of losing and fighting and scratching to stay above water.

There were many brand new advancements that assisted the US and the Allies in winning the war. The P51 Mustang was a very well needed addition to the United States Army, along with the B17 and the M2 Browning. The M2 Browning was the first machine gun of its kind. It worked well and it could kill many enemies. The P51 Mustang was an easy to manufacture single engine fighter plane. The B17 was a Flying Fortress, It could carry many bombs or troops. It is the kind of plane that bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It shows bad leadership by the US to not send help to the people that needed it the most. I wonder what would’ve happened if there were US troops in China that could stop the Japanese on their Biological warfare missions. This continues to impact the Pacific and everybody that lives in it. The Micronesian people face discrimination by the other islanders because they have no home and their culture is very different from ours. They were not given a choice when the US Army dropped the H bomb on their home island completely obliterating any life that was left. I think that many gruesome things will happen if WW3 ever occurs, Biological Warfare, Genocide, and nuclear weapons. |
