AUP US History

This pod cast is to help you with your regents and the understanding of world war II. First I am going to talk about How the United States entered the war. The United States refused to fight in the war between Germany and the European countries.  So The united states passed the Neutrality Act in 1936. The neutrality act was to keep the united states out of the world war. In 1941 the U.S was attacked by the Japanese navy at pearl harbor. Because of this attack this caused the United States to be directly involved in the war in world war 2. Some other acts that led to the Acts that drew the US closer into WWII: Cash and Carry policy “Destroyers for Bases” Deal Lend Lease Act Now I am going to talk about How the Japanese American’s were affected by this. The government of the united states believed that Japanese American’s were  of planning to help Japan by attacking the U. S again.  Japanese Americans were forced to leave their homes, jobs and property to relocate into camps till the end of the war. Now I am going to talk about the Supreme Court case of Korematsu vs US In the case of Korematsu vs. U.S (1944) Fred Korematsu, a Japanese American, refused to leave his home as ordered by the U.S government. The Court ruled in favor the U.S and that the forced evacuation was a reasonable wartime emergency measure. Fred’s civil liberties could be limited because of the war.  This case showed that during wars it is OK to limit civil liberties.

Hi, (My name is Mickey Paul and) I am going to tell you a little about World War 2, which started September 1, 1939 and ended September 2, 1945. This war was a war located in Europe, Pacific, Atlantic, South East Asia, China, Middle East, Mediterranean and Africa. At the start of the war our government the United States government declared a state of neutrality in the war. The act called Neutrality Act of 1935 & 1936 make sure the United States would not be part of the war. But then the United States was drown in because of the money there was to be made in it. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs the bill Lend Lease to give aid to Britain and Chain. They had thing we needed so we help them out so we can get it. The bombing of the Navy base, known as Pearl Harbor and Lend Lease Act which say that America support United Kingdom, Soviet Union, China, France and other Allied Nations lead the U.S to take a military part in WW2. Our government then go more into the war to help stop the spread of communism, which was one person ruling over a country, for Adolf Hitler example in German. Communism was spreading all over Eastern Asia and Europe so American had to put a stop to it. A lot of young men and woman lost their life fight to end this cause. And in the end thank God American won with it allies which form NATO. In result to the allied victory, the United Nations was from. A world wide peace keeping military, made the United States and Soviet Union superpowers, and also beginning of the cold war. Ww2 was a wide spread war to help, end and support many things but in the end one team was left on top and it team USA.

federalism is a system that divides our government into the national government and the state government which is made up of three types of powers. The three types of powers are delegated power concurrent power and reserved powers. Here are examples for each of the power some examples that delegated power use is to print money, regulate interstate which means (between states) and international trade. Concurrent power is both National Government and State government here are a few examples that concurrent power use which are collect taxes, build roads, borrow money, and establish courts. Another power is reserved power which is state government. Some examples that reserved power use is issue licenses, conduct elections, establish local governments, and ratify amendments to the constitution. Another topic that’s part of the bill of rights would be checks and balances. Checks and balances prevent any one branch of government from becoming too powerful; limits the power of central government. Checks and balances allow for a system

Presidents has influenced both the growth and destruction of the United States, For example president John F Kennedy approved a plan to invade Cuba which came to be called The Bay Of Pigs Invasion of 1961. He recruited Cuban rebels to work with CIA agents and provide them with inside information. The invasion was a failure. Fidel Castro had already found out about there plans. while they were getting ready for the invasion he was getting ready for his counterattack which resulted in The Cuban Missile Crisis. Fidel Castro created nuclear missile bases that were set up in the direction of the United States. Another president who made a big difference was Lyndon B. Johnson. He created the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This act allowed both African Americans and Women to be treated as equal.It stopped discrimination in public facilties.
