I remember reading the book on this the attack that ended the Japans rein on Alaska was the Kiska battle which the Japanese have fought in the think fog with smokeless powder so the Americans and Canadians couldnt see them but the Japanese saw the Americans and the Canadians. The Japanese follow the Bushido code which was t<span>he unwritten Samurai </span>code<span> of conduct, known as </span>Bushido<span>, held that the true warrior must hold that loyalty, courage, veracity, compassion, and honor as important, above all else. An appreciation and respect of life was also imperative, as it added balance to the warrior character of the Samurai. So the Japanese took their grenades and took the pins out...hit it against their helmets...and held it against their chests or heads because they did not want to go back to Japan they technically couldn't because it would be dishonor. So it all ended with mass suicide and the two Atom Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.</span>
Wilson believed that fundamental flaws in international relations created an unhealthy climate that led inexorably to the World War. His 14 points outlined his vision for a safer world. Wilson called for an end to secret diplomacy, a reduction of armaments, and freedom of the seas. He claimed that reductions to trade barriers, fair adjustment of colonies, and respect for national self-determination would reduce economic and nationalist sentiments that lead to war.
Lincoln was trying to appeal to Southern voters by picking Andrew Johnson as his running mate. These two men were actually very different politically speaking. Lincoln was a Republican, Andrew Johnson was a Democrat. Lincoln was from the Midwest US, Andrew Johnson was from Tennessee.
Lincoln knew that having a Democratic Vice President who once represented a Confederate state (Tennessee) would allow his presidency to appeal to a wider range of voters.
