In my opinion, the three hot spots of the cold war were Vietnam, Korea, and Cuba; overall in these three places, traumatic events occurred all because of the push of anti-communism. In Vietnam there was a massive amount of deaths because at the time the United States was not under ethical leadership; the democratic filled congress chose to not live to the word of the United States and as result people died because of it. Now in Korea, the Korean war that was forgotten however in this case communism was trying to be spread by North Korea and China. In this war once again thousands of people died all because of the whole socialism, communism, capitalism reck. Now last but not least was Cuba who was affected by the development of this modern warfare from the United States who believed strictly in capitalism. Overall during the cold war, many were affected and it was all due to the rise of different ways of living.
Connecting back to my project none of the wars ever ended, World War I didn't and neither did the war to end all wars. The cold war brought about things such as poverty and some forms of living even pushed it more than others. Systems such as capitalism did set up the native people only because this way of living forces the people to leave their culture in order to make a living to support our family. These systems force kanaka to leave their native identity at the door and work in other professions. because nowadays we cannot survive just off of gardening and trading, we have to work in order to pay for our land and food.

In my opinion the top three WW2 tech that assisted in the WW2 ending is nuclear bombing, the P51 Mustang and the N-1 grand rifle. For me nuclear bombs was the worst atrocity that occurred during the war; the bombs killed thousands in Japan and gave them a potential risk for cancer for years to come. However the bombing also led to Japan surrendering to the United states after the development of this new technology. On the other hand according to the first video the P-51 Mustang gave other countries advantages which also again led to them being able to influence the end of the war. And lastly the N-1 grand rifle also led to the ending of the war; this was because of the efficiency of the gun which allowed a certain country to become at a vantage point. But overall the nuclear warfare developed although deadly led to the ending of the war.
My Kahiau Project mainly revolves around poverty; however, connecting to ethical atrocities from world war II those that live in poverty can be related to those who are looked down to by countries. Poverty is in relation to the UN goal #8 which is decent work and economic growth. Those who were frowned upon were the ones who were taken into places such as Unit 731; these people probably were deprived of decent work and the economy in their country fell due to the amount of people from their country that were killed. In unit 731 prisoners or might I say test subjects were a direct subject in the development of modern warfare. Much like here in Hawaiʻi those who are living in poverty are overlooked at times and often face discrimination. During the war the need to create new energies and new resources were held to a much higher standard than any ounce of humanity. Overall it relates to my project because in place such as Unit 731 there is a need for ethical leadership because of the lack of regard given to these people. These events prove that the U.S have bad leadership actions; looking deeper into it the Hawaiʻi government system. Not enough action is being taken for the covid-19 pandemic and someone needs to step up to lead this state in the right direction. [WatchMojo.com]. (2018, April 10).
