In the aftermath of the carnage of the Civil War, the nation struggled to give shape to a country drenched in blood. In many ways, we are still fighting old battles and still trapped in assumptions that blocked the ...

Text us your questions! In addition to fighting successfully in battle after battle, the United States out-produced its enemies, to the point of not only supplying our troops, but supplying our allies as well.

Text us your questions! Hitler’s generals kept telling him he was going too far as he made bold moves in 1936 and 1938 into German-affiliated regions.

Text us your questions! The second World War was not only the obvious result of the events following the Great War, it was an ideological collision between two world views.

Text us your questions! With Europe once again at war by 1940, the U.S. will supposedly try to stay neutral. “Supposedly” because FDR really wants to help the Allies.

Traditionally war came with loot. This loot took a lot of forms, ranging from slaves (definitely not allowed today), to enemy military equipment, and whatever you could plunder from the enemies cities and countryside.
