MY THOUGHTS REGARDING GUADALCANAL.

Being surrounded in an island, no food, ammunition, and pretty much no moral support, your mind will go insane, thats would mine would do. Arrive Guadalcanal was a relief for the marines but soon figured that they where all alone. They thaught each other how to survive and protect themselves. With that one incident with going to the bathroom and shooting their own guy, it made them realize that they need to focus more as a group than an individuals. They also taught each other to be slick and sly when coming around an enemy. it also taught them to think like the enemy and be aware of what might come ahead.

The Gulag.

Gulag is, in a sense, the Soviet's hell hole. This environment was the Soviets forced labor camps. They were located mainly in remote regions of Siberia and the Far North. The man of steel used this to his advantage during the 1930's to punish people who didn't obey his law. The Gulag first purpose was a prison for murderers, thieves, and other criminals. Life in the gulag was very rough, and very harsh. there was a ration of food, clothing, and supplies. It wasn't a very pleasant work area to be in. When Stalin died in 1953, the Gulag population decreased dramatically, and the conditions improved.

Benito Mussolini's Death.


The first thing that popped in my head when we started talking about Benito Mussolini, was how he died. It was during Topics last year, with my boiii Mckenna and he showed the class the aftermath of the war and how the dictational rule came to an end, and he explained how Mussolini was hung facing down with six other black shirt officers. Mussolini is the one in the middle. This is just to show how the Italians really hated Benito. There's another picture thats really disturbing about him, but if you want to see it, just google image, "benito mussolini's death" and its the colored picture. It's nasty!

Adolf Hitler in World War 1

Everybody knows who Adolf Hitler was, but not a lot of people know that he actually served in the German military during WWI. Adolf joined at the age of 25. his regiment was estimated that 2,500 to 3,000 of them were killed or injured, but Hitler came out of the war without a single scratch! Luck was always on his side, because he would always move to a different spot where eventually an artillery shell would explode. He served as a dispatch runner, giving messages back and forth to commanders. His hate for Jews grew as he lived in a anti-war conspiracy world. Closer to the end, he recieved the Iron Cross 1st Class, but soon turned depressed when the moral of the front was low. on October 1918, he was blinded by a British chlorine gas attack near Ypres. A pastor gave him the bad news that the war was over, and that his home land was now turned into a republic.

Why did Germany go to such lengths to destroy British power?

Germany had a lot obstacles in its path for world domination, and Great Britain was the gauntlet. Great Britain was the most powerful naval fleet in its time, and Germany's only way to transport its havoc, was by shipment. Germany had a hard time stopping its foe, and always got let down. Britain was just to advance for them. Britain also had many countries under its name, and they could call many men in those countries and the numbers would rock Germany's number anytime.
