History - November 2007

Japan, etc? I am curious because the US back then had only been a nation for 150 years and they were able to be the first country to get nuclear weapons over several nations with thousands of years of glorious history.

is it because the US was filled with an influx of different ethnicities of immigrant top scientists that helped this cause or what is/are the reason(s)? (i personally think the US got the nukes first because God is on the Us's side and wants the US to be the most powerful country and police the world, but thats my crazy opinion)

because had the US not gotten the bomb first, had japan or germany gotten it.....ww2 could have been a completely different outcome and today would probably be alot different.

During his lifetime, this man was directly responsible for the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children. He caused anger in India when sent there as a military attaché, and caused anger and upset in Japan, after he re-enacted the bomb.

Was he just a serviceman doing his job, or was he one of those responsible for the single worst war time atrocity in history?

I grew up in a private school that excelled in every area but history. For whatever reason, perhaps it was just the curriculum or the history teachers they hired, we just didn't learn a lot about history. For example, I can't tell you anything that happened in the world before Chris Columbus sailed the ocean blue. And I can't tell you anything that happened after the Civil War (and since I grew up in the South, I only really know the Southern side of it). I have no clue about WWI, II or the Korean War or what the hell we were doing in Vietnam.

I struggled through college to keep up with history and figured out quickly I have a real thirst for learning more. With that in mind, I'd really like to check out some great world history books. Can anyone recommend some books that could sort of "catch me up"? I don't want to just know the American, or Southern or Christian side of history. I wanna know it from a unbiased perspective. Any ideas?

Why is it that:

- Canadians believe that we burned down the WhiteHouse.

- Canadians "won" the war of 1812 when most of the fighting was done by British regulars and First Nations

Why is it that:

- The Americans believe they "won" the war of 1812 (You didn't beat the British out of your land, they left when the treaty was signed - hardly qualifies as "winning"?)

- The Americans believe that they won the "Last battle" of the war at New Orleans, when the last battle of the war was clearly a British victory ("Ten thousand men cannot take it", eh?)

Shouldn't it be taught that:

- The war was a draw, and at worst for the Americans, a minor British victory

- The Canadian militia may have won a few battles on their own, but it was primarily the British and First Nations who saved Upper Canada

- The BRITISH burned down government buildings in Washington, it had nothing to do with Canadians

- The Americans did not win the last battle of the war.

Meh?
