What Are The Three Phases Of The Afghanistan War?
A
Afghanistan War 2001-2014

The war was fought in three different phases. The first was taking down the Taliban. The second was fighting back against the Taliban army and rebuilding Afghanistan into being a better place. And the final third phase was when Obama decided to send more of our own troops to protect people from Taliban attacks. This war raged on for 13 years, and henceforth it became the longest war the US has ever taken part of.

In 2002, he was chosen to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the Carter Center. (Although I personally find that a ridiculous reason for him to be awarded such a prestigious thing. Of course he helped out with the Carter Center, he created it for christ’s sake.)

This party was created in 1968 and partnered up with North Korea, the Viet Cong, and the Pathet Lao during the time period when the Vietnam War took place.

September 11th, 2001

This is the tragic event of four terrorist attacks made by a group called al-Qaeda, or so they say. Many conspiracy theorist believe the attacks were all planned by our government. 2,996 people were sadly killed in this incident, 17 of them were the hijackers and the rest were innocent American citizens. Whether this was planned by the radical terrorist group or by our own government, this day is one of the worst days of our country’s history and we cannot let this happen again.

    Ronald Wilson Reagan was born on February 6, 1911 in Illinois. He was an accomplished actor and public official who later ventured into politics and became the governor of California from 1967 to 1975(University of Virginia). Although Ronald Reagan aspired to be president, he was unsuccessful in the election years of 1968 and 1976. During the election of 1976, the presidential aspirants were James E. Carter Jr., Reagan, and Gerald R. Ford, who was the Republican president at the time. With slightly more electoral votes (297 versus 240) than his rival, President Ford, Jimmy Carter, the Southern Democrat, won the election larger as a result of the shift in public-appeal of the Republican party amid corruption issues such as the Watergate scandal involving former President Richard Nixon. Carter’s success had also relied heavily on the Southern vote as well as ninety-seven percent of the African American vote. On the other hand, Reagan only won a single electoral vote in the state of Washington (Summers).…

    Ronald Reagan knew how to win votes and how to run his loving country, The United States. Reagan was and is still known as “The Great Communicator.” Reagan was one who could go out and win a vote by telling the people what had to be done in the U.S. Reagan brought up the issues of building up the defense budget, cutting taxes and balancing the budget. This was a time that the United States was at a low and something needed to be changed. Reagan saw this and knew something had to be done. The people saw hope in Reagan because he was “one of them.” (MSNBC-2004) People saw Reagan as a normal citizen just like them that knew what had to happen in the U.S. Reagan promised economic growth and that deficits would not hurt in the long run. The economy was horrible and unemployment rate was too high. People needed jobs and Reagan promised he would work to drastically bring the unemployment rate down. This was also a time that America feared communism and terrorists. Reagan went out publically and stated, “America has made a decision about these terrorists: Instead of waiting for them to strike again in our midst, we will take this fight to the enemy.” (MSNBC-2004) Reagan knew the fear of the American people and knew he had to do something about it. Unlike Reagan, his opponent Jimmy Carter acted the complete opposite. He told the people to, “have hope to persuade the Soviet Union that one country cannot impose its…

    Who was Lyndon B. Johnson? Well, Johnson said the following while describing him, “I am a free man, an American, a United States Senator, and a Democrat, in that order. I am also a liberal, a conservative, a Texan, a taxpayer, a rancher, a businessman, a consumer, a parent, a voter, and not as young as I used to be nor as old as I expect to be—and I am all of these things in no fixed order.” Lyndon Baines Johnson was the thirty-sixth president of the United States, serving from 1963 to 1969. He took office on November 22, 1963, after John F. Kennedy was martyred in Dallas.
