    American Colonialism: US Imperialism In Japan

    Imperialism is a policy. Based on this policy, a country uses diplomacy and military forces to expand its power and influence across the world. This will eventually result in becoming a superpower. When it comes to imperialism, America has a lot to say because it sure was a great imperialist between 1867-1917. Many American believed U.S. had to “expand or explode” because of its fast growing population. When the population grows, industrial production demand for more resources. People start to realize and worry that some of the existing natural resources of the country will eventually dry up. Therefore, economists saw oversea markets a possible safety valve for U.S. internal pressures. As a result, foreign trade was…

    Japanese-American Wwii

    During WWII, Japanese-Americans were discriminated against solely because of their Japanese ancestry. Although mistreated, despised, and even imprisoned, the Japanese-Americans overcame tremendous hardships and approximately 33,000 Japanese-Americans, both men and women, served valiantly in our Armed Forces, and nearly 800 of those having made the ultimate sacrifice. While there are numerous anecdotes, I will focus this paper on those Japanese-Americans who were part of the University of Hawaii (UH) Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) Program, those who formed the Varsity Victory Volunteers (VVV), and those who formed Hawaii 's very own 100th Infantry Battalion and the famed 442nd Regimental Combat Team (RCT).…

    Ferguson paper

    Since George H.W. Bush (41) took office in 1989, the United States has intervened in several high-risk situations such as the Gulf War, military deployment in Iraq, and the ongoing War in Afghanistan resulting in thousands of deaths of American soldiers. This is not okay because these soldiers are sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters, of fellow American citizens. Although the President can involve the United States’ military in any situation with the permission of Congress, he should not so if the opposition is a threat. The United States should not be the world’s policeman because foreign affairs require a substantial amount of resources that the U.S. should not let go; more so the United States should focus resources to being a global caregiver.…

    Stage Setter Assessment

    These less developed parts of the world have attracted U.S. military intervention for the past two decades. Historical data reveals a constant and continuous threat by religious extremists and political idealists from Gap countries struggling to obtain prosperity. Barnett also describes a previous assumption that large prosperous countries considered “less included” regions as non-threatening, because they lacked a large-scale military force. But we can never under estimate individuals that are willing to give “life and country” for their cause and beliefs. Furthermore he mentions how the attack on September, 2001 serves as supportive evidence. This devastating event continues to shape our government and influence our defense strategies. It has resulted in the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, military restructuring, and moreover, the launching of the global war on…

    Military Aid Research Paper

    Among the countless repercussions from September 11 is a new rationale for doling out security assistance: the war on terrorism. Not since anticommunism was used to excuse the arming and training of repressive governments during the cold war has there been such a broad, fail-safe rationale to provide military aid and arms to disreputable foreign militaries. Already the largest weapons supplier in the world, the U.S. government is now providing arms and military training to an even wider group of states in the name of “homeland security.”…

    Japanese Nisei in Ww2

    “Nisei: (n) a son or daughter of Japanese immigrants who is born and educated in America and especially in the United States” (Merriam Webster Dictionary). As the United States was receiving their constant droves of immigrants from China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, there was one group of Asian-American immigrants (or not immigrants for that matter) that would stand out, the Japanese Nisei. The term Nisei comes from the literal definition in Japanese meaning “second generation” from ‘ni’ (second) and ‘sei’ (generation) which was first coined in 1929 (MW Dictionary). There are many different kind of Nisei, such as American Nisei, Canadian Nisei, Peruvian Nisei, & Brazilian Nisei, but the main grunt of Japanese American Nisei that were involved in World War Two are that of the United States. The Nisei however have had a long and hard struggle in the United States as Japanese Americans. “Although many of the Nisei were born during the Baby Boom after the end of the World War Two, most were forcibly moved into internment camps forcibly with their parents after Executive Order 9066 was passed”. (Living History).” “ Executive Order 9066 was as follows: ‘Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066, dated February 19, 1942, gave the military broad powers to ban any citizen from a fifty- to sixty-mile-wide coastal area stretching from Washington state to California and extending inland into southern Arizona. The order also authorized transporting these citizens to assembly centers hastily set up and governed by the military in California, Arizona, Washington state, and Oregon.’ (Historymaters.edu)” The interment of the Nisei was one that they were largely torn apart about, caught inbetween the non rebellious nature of their older parents & relatives, and the more American approach of resistance and revolution. All this however would change when World War Two would roll around when many Nisei would…

    Analysis Of Jack Snyder's One World, Rival Theories

    It has only been a little more than a decade since the grave events of September 11, 2001, a tragic day forever marked in America’s history. The attack on the World Trade Center was a pivotal occasion that began the crisis that is the United State’s moral and political ambiguity of the 21st century. This has been a decade of vague and changing policy when looking at international affairs. From the power change in the Pentagon to the transition of circumstances across the globe, the years following the 9/11 attacks have emphasized the point of stance that Jack Snyder has taken in his “One World, Rival Theories.” Black and white cease to exist when foreign policy ideologies are put to practice; the theories are bent and blended to suit the present…

    The era of globalization has witnessed the growing influence of a number of unconventional international actors, from non-governmental organizations, to multi-national corporations, to global political movements. Traditional, state-centric definitions of foreign policy as "the policy of a sovereign state in its interaction with other sovereign states is no longer sufficient. Several alternative definitions are more helpful at highlighting aspects of foreign policies.…

    Analysis Of Military Rivalry Between China And Japan

    In the previous explanation we already talk about what geopolitics is, the cause why geopolitics is a major theme Sino-Japanese relation and its impact and application in China and Japan relationship, albeit briefly. Then, it raises a question. What is the purpose of engaging in geopolitics? The main purpose of engaging in geopolitics can be simply summarized as state’s desire to acquire as much power (struggle of power), concerning its geographical environment, to aid the fulfillment of national interests. If a state can fulfill its national interests and even has some power and resources surplus, the said states would have more “bargaining chip” in order to assert its position in international…
