[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp). The M-1 Abrahms tank was the Army's answer to new field weaponry. It was first shown in action in 1978, and was believed to be the means to meet current and predicted land threats.

The Struggle for Human Meaning in Albert Camus’ “The Plague”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the struggle for human meaning in Albert Camus’ “The Plague”. Albert Camus in “The Plague” chronicles the struggle for human meaning in the face of a disenchanted world through the plight of social disintegration, the spread of political manipulation, and the crisis of metaphysical reason and morality. Although Camus states that this work was not one of morality, the struggle for human meaning during the epidemic plague in Oran in the 1940s involves the characters questioning the breakdown of their social and political systems in which they are imprisoned in their own village. During the plague which seems to have no reason in who is killed and who is spared, the characters also struggle to apply some sort of metaphysical sense to the plague. While the village eventually overcomes the plague, Rieux and Tarrou remind the readers that the plague never truly disappears and that everyone contains aspects of the plague; a reminder to the reader that in times of a chaos, human reasoning does not apply.

The Treatment and Internment of Japanese Canadians during World War II
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the treatment and internment of Japanese Canadians during World War II. Before the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese Canadians lived as commercial fishermen, miners, forester, and merchants and were allowed to join the armed forces to fight for Canada. After the attack on Pearl Harbor however, the Canadian and American governments both evacuated their Japanese populations and sent them to various internment camps for the duration of the war. In Canada, the province of British Columbia had the largest Japanese population of over 23,000 and 21,000 of these were sent inland to camps across the country in order to “safe guard” and protect the coast of Canada. The homes and possessions of the Japanese Canadians were confiscated and sold. After the war, the Japanese were not allowed to move back to B.C. or else they would be deported. By 1949, they were allowed back into B.C. but by that time many had started lives elsewhere. Finally, in 1988, the Canadian Government and the National Association of Japanese Canadians agreed on a Redress settlement. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Vietnam War
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp) War is never a pretty picture. However it has been glorified in past United States history as a noble effort for those who believed in rotecting "the undefended." World War I, the Great War destroyed the idea of "noble" and "war" being connected in any way. We fought The Bully and won in World War II; soldiers were seen as "liberators." Korea was only a "conflict." Yet the Vietnam War destroyed parts of the United States and its beliefs in an overt, as well as a much more covert way. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Weimar Republic -- Its Responsibility for the Rise of Hitler
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses Germany’s Weimar Republic (1918-1933). The years between 1924 and 1929 in Weimar Germany serve as one of the most tantalizing might-have-beens in 20th century history. It was during this time that the Republic prospered economically, politically and in its foreign policy, and it is tempting to conclude that but for the intervention of the Great Depression of the 1930s Germany would have developed into a stable parliamentary democracy, and the horrors of Hitler might have been avoided.
