How were Japanese treated after World War 2?
Approximately 40 years after WW2, the Canadian parliament gave a proper apology to all Japanese Canadians who were treated unfaired during the War. Also, they paid $21,000 per person to the internment survivors, but the land and property confiscated during the time of internment were never returned. It was also in the late 80's or early 90's that the children that were with their parents received $17,000. It is sad as the other poster mentioned that their land, homes and possessions were no longer there.
How did world war 2 effect England culture?
It completely destroyed it in my opinion. England had to give away everything it had, and go into massive debt to "win" ww2. When you compare German society to British society today, it's glaringly obviously that Germany is the the overall winner. People are less aggressive, there is far less violence in the streets, and the young people are quite polite and still have respect for their elders. Don't believe me? Have a look on German news websites, how many stabbings/beatings/murders do you see each day? Nothing compared to the count in England. I went back to England last year after nearly 30 years absent, and was completely shocked, England no longer exists for me.
How did Sir Charles Kingsford Smith influence Australian history?
Charles Kingsford-Smith set a milestone for Australian society. He became one of Australia's best-known aviators, and completed the first non-stop crossing of the Australian mainland and the first flight from Australia to New Zealand. In 1930 he flew 16 000 kilometres single handedly and won the England to Australia air race.
Kingsford Smith is perhaps best known for being the first to cross the Pacific from the United States to Australia. On 31 May 1928, he and his crew left the United States to make the first Trans-Pacific flight to Australia in the Southern Cross, a Fokker FVII-3M monoplane. The flight was in three stages, from Oakland, California to Hawaii, then to Suva, Fiji, and on to Brisbane, where he landed on 8 June 1928. On arrival, he was met by a huge crowd at Eagle Farm Airport, and was regarded as a hero.
Why was the US unable to prevent the Bataan Death March?
The Japanese Army forced civilians and captured military to walk 80 miles in the Philippines without food or water for the first three days. This is a very hot climate. Plus, the Japanese beat, stabbed, and killed any of the prisoners that fell behind. The way the people in this march were treated became the focus of war crimes trials at the conclusion of the war.
It was the Japanese Naval Air Force and the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force that bombed Australia. One of the targets was the naval base in Darwin. At least 235 people were killed, and the damage to the area was extensive.
What impact did the conflict at kokoda have on the rest of the war in the pacific?
Kokoda track battle stands as a symbol of Austrailian participation in the Second World War. The direct effect of Kokoda track was that the Allies succeeded in preventing the Japanese from acheiving their goal of securing strategic points.
What parts of Australia did Japan invade in World War 2?
No. MLM Not as such... There is reference to the IJA landing in the wilderness of Western Australia, something like 5000 troops landed but less than three hundred made it back! Apparently the scale of the Japanese maps was wrong and the troops just kept wandering around for 6 weeks with food and water in very short supply. The plan was to capture the town of Broome and use that as a base of an assult across the country to hit Canberra and Sydney from their blind sides.
If 3 men can dig 6 trenches in 4 days how many days would it take for 4 men to dig 24 trenches?
3 men dig 6 trenches in 4 days
==> each man digs (6/3) = 2 trenches in 4 days
==> each man digs (4/2) = 1/2 trench per day.
==> Given 4 men, you get (4 x 1/2) = 2 trenches per day.
==> It takes them (24/2) = 12 days to dig 24 trenches.

How many ships were involved in the Vietnam war?
Warships of the US Navy, consisting of aircraft carriers, the battleship USS New Jersey, cruisers, and destroyers rotated on "WestPac" cruises to and from Vietnam, operating within the China Sea. Rotations of warships were normally performed under the command of the US 7th Fleet. Most, if not all, of the US warships in the US Navy, in the type of categories described above, saw action, at one time or another along the Vietnamese shoreline. US warships stationed above the 17th parallel (the DMZ) which was North Vietnam, were on (code name) "Yankee Station". US warships below the DMZ, were stationed on "Dixie Station", which covered South Vietnam. Strike aircraft (F-4 phantoms, F-8 Crusaders, A-4 Skyhawks, A-1 Skyraiders, A-6 Intruders, A-7 Corsair II's) launched strikes against North Vietnam from "Yankee" Station. While those same types of aircraft supported US ground troops in South Vietnam from "Dixie Station." The battleship USS New Jersey (not equipped with missiles in those days) provided ground forces with 16" gunfire support, cruisers provided 8" gunfire support, while US Destroyers provided 5" gunfire support, while serving on the GUN LINE. The US Navy created a "second" navy, called the "Brown Water Navy": The Brown Water Navy conducted RIVERINE WAREFARE along the coast and inland waters of Vietnam. The US Navy's riverine forces consisted of Swift Boats (Patrol Craft Fast-PCR), PBR's (Patrol Boat River), Alpha Boats (Assault Support Patrol Boat), and Monitors (River Battleships). The US Navy's FIRST "Brown Water Navy" was created during the US Civil War 1861-1865. The US Navy's LAST "Brown Water Navy" was during the Vietnam War 1965-1970.
Why was the landing at Gallipoli so difficult?
Strategically, Gallipoli was a campaign with the idea of assisting Russia in the east by opening the seaway from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea. Obviously the Turkish forces did not want this to happen, and the sea was mined. The British lost two capital ships and the French lost one trying to get through. Troops were landed by the British, using Anzac units mainly (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps). Unfortunately the British, instead of having a dynamic leadership, allowed the Turks time to reinforce the defensive positions on the peninsula. The opportunity was lost and eventually the troops were withdrawn in a costly and pointless endeavour. It remains as an example of how not to conduct a military expedition, and an example of poor leadership of brave men who died achieving nothing. Had it been successful, then the war in the east would have been different, and as with all these things, hindsight is a wonderful thing to behold !

What is the role of Hispanic women in Latin America?
The stereotypical role of a Hispanic woman (or Hispanic women) in Latin America is that the woman stays at home, bears/rears the children, cooks/cleans, and is submissive to the husband. Since the divorce rates and out of wedlock pregnancies are growing at an enormous rate in Latin America, this stereotype is changing. More and more Hispanic women are breaking through the workforce and becoming, in a sense, their own bosses. Hispanic women are taking charge, working, while still being able to juggle children and all the responsibilities of home life. Although the idea of machismo still runs rampant in Latin America, hispanic women are taking a stand and making historical changes.
