This propaganda poster is representing militarism. Militarism is the belief of the people to have a strong military to defend their country. Each country or alliance wanted to be ahead of the other. Meaning better and stronger weapons. This poster is showing the advancements in the weapons used in war. Like "Fighting with poison gas and Liquid and Fire."
What is the difference between, aid, a treaty, and an alliance.
Well all three of those words have to do with connections between nations. Aid- For an example, Russia and Bulgaria Serbia were in aid with each other. That means that if Russia were to go into war and needed certain supplies Bulgaria Serbia would provide bandages, food, water, and other things they may need. Treaty- A treaty between countries would be an agreement. Alliance- During the World War Italy and Germany were in alliance. That meant that if another country wanted to battle Italy then Germany would join Italy in the fight The US later joined the first world war on April 6, 1917. They joined allies with France, Britain, and Russia. The US joined the war because a Lusitania was sunken by Germany. Then the Zimmerman telegram was a letter sent to offer an alliance with Mexico when the US was entering the war. Hipster's are known as people that melt different tastes and styles along with their behavior. This subculture is usually associated with middle class Bohemian people. They live a very alternative life and have a non mainstream sense of style. Mostly thrifty and give off a care free vibe. My partner Wes and I chose to research Hipsters because we thought that Hipsters we pretty "far out, dude." And its pretty cool that they have their own slang as you can see by the photo at the top. History Behind Them When the word Hipster even came about was in the 1940's. During the Jazz Ages. Back then they were known as "people who like hot jazz." -wikipedia Modern Hipsters The meaning has now changed in various ways. They'd say that a hipster is a smoker, drinks pbr, wear platforms, jean shorts, listen to alternative music, and has probably graduated from a Liberal Arts School. Hipsters We Know Celebrities such as Ryan Gosling, Zooey Deschanel, Nicole Richie,and Shia LaBaouf are known as hipsters. Throughout the duration of the immigration activity during class I've learned a few new things about the immigration stations Ellis and Angel Island, but I still wonder a few things... I wonder if a doctor has ever made a mistake and forgot to mark someone of a sickness or just got lazy and didn't fully examine. Or if there were ever friction between the immigrants waiting to be tested?? One thing that I found intriguing about the two stations was that the doctors would use special chalk markings on the immigrants to make aware a sickness or pregnancy. Another thing that I found out about these gateways to America was that some families would actually be separated. The process of becoming an american citizen was not an easy one and the buildings were very crowed with eager soon to be citizens of the US- making it easy to misplace a loved one. As crazy and scary as it may sound. It has happened.
Geography- Earth's physical and human features including locations of places and regions, and political boundaries. Today I'll be telling you about the geography side of me. My whole life I haven't just stayed in one place. I haven't been all around the world either, but I've been a few places and I'll tell you about them right now! Well for starters..I was born in Alabama. Then a little over a year later, my family and me moved up to Illinois. And here in my current state I moved around to three different places. The first two are houses and my current home is a nice townhouse. These few moves has impacted my life in many different ways. One way that they have impacted my life is that when I moved from a house into a townhouse.. It really made me look back and be thankful to have lived in such a spacious and lovely home. Another way that moving has shaped me as a person is that having the rest of my family that grew up down south compared to me who was brought up in Illinois I kind of act differently. My siblings like to say that I "get away with way more" then they could. They had to say sir and ma'am as I was able to steer away from that. They also we're aloud to ask questions when told something to do by a parent while I could get away with it.
Enable to find out more about myself I have to ask my family some questions, and in some cases the question is more important than the answer itself. Why? Because the question is what evokes the answer in the first place. There are some leveled one questions I will be asking that won't get as deep of an answer, and also level two questions that will need some deep thinking to be answered.
Level 1-
Level 2-
Looking through a history lens shapes a person by their individual developments overtime, important events, past legacy, and traditions.
History that shapes my life is that:
