In Europe the war changed traditional social deference and the authority of leaders and the church. The millions of taken lives weakened the old loyalty, though resentment at the settlement fuelled new separatist and crude statements in parts of Europe. Europe lost much of its hold over the minds of small populations who saw the bravery of local servicemen, their unfair treatment, waning European power and the imperial powers fighting amongst each other. The world became a less terrifying place. .
MacArthur had "retired" after four years as Chief of Staff of the US Army in 1935 and taken a position as Field Marshal of the Philippine Army. The Philippines were still a US possession. MacArthur was recalled to active duty in July 1941 and named Commander United States Forces Far East (USFFE). After MacArthur escaped from the Philippines and reached Australia he was named Supreme Commander Southwest Pacific Area (SWPA) in May 1942. Admiral Nimitz commanded the Central Pacific, and the SWPA was a theater carved out for MacArthur, in deference to his seniority. It would not have been done for anyone else.
Written during the heart of the Civil War, this is one of Abraham Lincoln's most famous letters. Greeley, editor of the influential New York Tribune, had just addressed an editorial to Lincoln called "The Prayer of Twenty Millions," making demands and implying that Lincoln's administration lacked direction and resolve. President Lincoln made his reply when a draft of the Emancipation Proclamation already lay in his desk drawer. His response revealed his concentration on preserving the Union. The letter, which received acclaim in the North, stands as a classic statement of Lincoln's constitutional responsibilities. A few years after the president's death, Greeley wrote an assessment of Lincoln. He stated that Lincoln did not actually respond to his editorial but used it instead as a platform to prepare the public for his "altered position" on emancipation. Executive Mansion,Washington, August 22, 1862. Hon. Horace Greeley:Dear Sir. I have just read yours of the 19th. addressed to myself through the New-York Tribune. If there be in it any statements, or assumptions of fact, which I may know to be erroneous, I do not, now and here, controvert them. If there be in it any inferences which I may believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now and here, argue against them. If there be perceptable [sic] in it an impatient and dictatorial tone, I waive it in deference to an old friend, whose heart I have always supposed to be right.As to the policy I "seem to be pursuing" as you say, I have not meant to leave any one in doubt. I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do notbelieve it would help to save the Union. I shall do lesswhenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free. Yours,A. Lincoln.
Hitler did not cause WWII, or at least he does not have the brunt of responsibility on that account (which doesn't make him any less of a sad despicable little man - but let's lay blame where it's due). The Second World Warwas caused due to a myriad of reasons, not just one (not to mention no one really came to the deference of the Jews because they were being oppressed. They only retaliated because Poland was invaded, which is very shameful but nonetheless true). One of the main factors that led to WWII was how the countries who won the Great War treated Germany after it lost. They opressed its powers in such a way that caused massive instability. People were using banknotes as wallpaper and having to use shopping carts to carry enough money to buy bread. This made people upset and ready to blame someone, which is where the Nazi party comes into play. While Hitler was a bigwig in the party he wasn't the only member by any means, which is why I would say he doesn't deserve a big chunk of the credit for WWII. Had there been no Hitler, someone else would have stepped up. They may not have been as eloquent or gained support as quickly (or maybe they would have - who knows?), but there most certainly would have been someone else. And let's not forget that the Nazi party was VOTED into power. By the people. Which puts a chunk of the blame on a number of the nation's citizens. Now, Adolf Hitler ordered his troops to invade Poland on 1 September 1939 - which is internationally accepted as the start of World War 2. So yes, he is to blame on that account. But he wasn't so powerful as to single-handedly start a war. He was a pathetic hateful little man who just had the "good" fortune of having charisma and rise to top rank within the political party of his choice.
A percussion revolver is a handgun in which percussion caps, fitted to "cones" or "nipples" at the rear of each chamber of the rotating cylinder, provide the spark which ignites the gunpowder. The percussion caps are made from very thin copper and contain fulminate of mercury, which explodes when inpacted. These caps are press fitted to cones that are hollow in the center. When the revolver's hammer strikes the cap, it the priming comound is crushed or impacted, and the flash from this travels down the hole in the center of the cone to ignite the gunpowder in the cylinder. Examples of percussion revolvers include the 1851 Colt in .36 caliber and the later 1860 Army Colt. Arms of this type were used by calvary during the U.S. Civil War. After the war, they played a significant role in the westward expansion of the U.S. and continued to be used long after the advent of more modern handguns firing fixed ammunition, by lawmen and lawbreakers alike. The .36 caliber 1851 Colt is roughly equal in "stopping power" to the .380 ACP pistol cartridge. The .44 caliber 1860 is roughly equal in stopping power to .38 Special +P pistol ammunition. While the technology may be "old school," percussion revolvers are still used by recreational shooters today. Original revolvers are still found in shootable condition, but most people who shoot percussion revolvers today use replicas of civil war era revolvers which are made in Italy by Uberti and Pietta. In spite of the rudimentary sights that most replica percussion revolvers use, arms of this type can deliver a level of accuracy that many modern "combat handguns" can't match. A practiced handgun shooter will often have little trouble grouping a string of shots inside a two inch circle at 25 yards with a percussion revolver. They are used for target shooting and hunting. To load, one first decants the proper powder charge for the revolver in question from a purpose-made powder flask. One charges all chambes. After the chambers are charged, greased felt wads are seated on top of the powder. The wad swabs out the bore between shots and deposits grease which helps keep the fouling from firing soft so that it can be more easily cleaned out when the time comes. Balls are seated on top of the wad. Thess are pure lead, or nearly so. The loading lever under the barrel is used to ram wad and ball firmy on top of the powder charge. Once all cylinders have powder, wad, and ball, the next step it to cap the piece. It is now ready to fire.
