Been waiting a long time for this day! 🏈 @oxyfootball #gameday @ Mexicali, Baja California https://t.co/fdX62tKUEn

@HISTSpring2018 What was significant about Gaddis' view on the Cold War and why is he still talked about in such a high regard to this day? #HIST209b

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HISTSpring2018 Tony Judt's critiques of the way John Gaddis writes the Cold War revolves around the triumph of US victories in the Cold War. Gaddis completely neglects certain countries such as Third World nations that are not relevant to the success and achievements of the US #HIST209B

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HISTSpring2018 What role did the presentation of media have on the citizens at home? How did Americans feel about the war and its playing out through the eyes of media? #hist209b

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HISTSpring2018 The Vietnam War was known to so little amount of people because of its location and for what it stood for. American Wars in the past tended to be in response to attacks on the America or its spheres of influence, however this War was about the containment of communism. #hist209b

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HISTSpring2018 The report was very interesting in how it talked how the emergence of the educated youth attributed to the rise in protests against the status quo. The 1960's was a time of the "Restless Youth" and collegiate institutions played a huge role in this #HIST209B

@HISTSpring2018
What is the U.S take on overpopulation of developing countries and what role do they play in establishing ways to prevent these countries from being inflicted by overcrowding and national crisis? #HIST209B

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HarmanHist209 @HISTSpring2018 I think the restriction of reproduction is essential in developing countries because over 5/6 of the world is in poverty due to lack of access to resources. This is why contraceptives are important to try and prohibit overpopulation. #HIST209B

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HISTSpring2018 The film also focused on more of the war itself as opposed to the policy making which is what historians usually focus on. Policy making draws the attention of historians, but people who watch this documentary will care more about the war scenes from Vietnam #HIST209B

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HISTSpring2018 I agree with Burns and Novick because it gives a more real explaination of what occurred in Vietnam from the people on the ground. Historians care a lot about the context and the "Why" of what happened as opposed to the actual situations people were going there #HIST209B

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@realvinchinzo @HISTSpring2018 The Bandung Conference was definitely a positive challenge because it provided the beginnings of US support in Africa and Southeast Asia and got the ball rollling for other world powers to decolonize to allow for independence. #HIST209B

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HISTSpring2018 What role did the other Western powers play post-Bandung Conference? How did it differ from the US? #HIST209B

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HISTSpring2018 How was the American way of progranda towards the Japanese similar to the method of progranda Nazi Germany used against the Jews? #HIST209B

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HISTSpring2018 The Dower paper demonstrates how the U.S. dehumanized the Japanese to the point where they weren't taken seriously in the eyes of everyday Americans. The U.S. did not expect Japan to be so technologically advanced and ready to wage war. #HIST209B

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HISTSpring2018 How big of an influence did Wilson's presidency play in imperialization? What was going on in the colonies across the world Post-WWI?

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HISTSpring2018 Manela's "Wilsonian Moment" demonstrated how countries outside of Europe managed Post-WWI, and the implications the War had on these various nations. The US influenced a lot of colonial nations and this was ultimately the beginning of the end of imperialism.

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HISTSpring2018 What role did anarchy play during the construction of the Canal? How was this attributed to racial tensions? #Hist209B

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@hwakefieldoxy @HISTSpring2018 One of the main tensions was between the Spainards and the West Indians. The United States threatened the Spainards with hiring more West Indians to do the job because they were more efficient and cheaper because they were lower on the racial hierarchy #HIST209B

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HISTSpring2018 The US wanted to distinguish themselves from Great Britain by proving their "exceptionalism" through giving the Philippines indepedence. These first steps of imperialism helped shape the US into a world power it is today. #Hist209B

[Joshua Greaves @Jsgreaves11]

@HISTSpring2018 The cartoons depict the Filipinos, Cubans, Hawaiians, and all other countries we "freed" as weak and incapable of acheiving liberation without the helping hand of Uncle Sam. Through indoctrination, America sees it as doing a favor for these people. #Hist209B
