4 0

Six weeks after Iraq invaded Kuwait, President George H.W. Bush went before a joint session of Congress on this day in 1990 to lay out the administration’s response to the attack.

With a large U.S. military buildup already under way in the Middle East, the president outlined a series of goals. They included the unconditional withdrawal of Iraqi forces, the restoration of the Kuwaiti government, the promotion of security and stability in the region and the safety of U.S. citizens trapped in Kuwait and Iraq.

“Iraq will not be permitted to annex Kuwait,” Bush told the lawmakers in the presence of foreign diplomats, including the Iraqi ambassador. “And that’s not a threat, not a boast. It’s just the way it’s going to be.”

Doc 1. 1917 was a time during war. The US did enter during this time, and also the Industrial revolution was still going. With tenements going up everywhere and factories producing needed products. Many families were poor at the time of this. There were workers needed. And who else than the relatively recently freed blacks (Pardon) as cheap labor for factories. Besides, the south had an unbelievable amount of racism still. The journey up north should've been very freeing.

Doc 2. Remember this was a time when there was still racism. Jim crow laws. The KKK (Klu Klux Klan) black people wanted out and now. There were lynchings. Set massacres. To find work elsewhere other than the literal (Pardon my french) hellhole in the south. To go up north was like heading to the promised land.

Hope this helps. (Now my head hurts from reading, Jk.)

The gojoseon civilization

Anna007 [38]

Gojoseon civilization, which dates back to 2300 BCE and had a city-state structure, spread throughout the Korean Peninsula, Manchuria, and far eastern China north of the Yangtze River.

<h3>The Gojoseon civilization: what is it? </h3>

The earliest kingdom on the Korean Peninsula was Gojoseon.

According to Korean mythology, Gojoseon was established in 2333 BCE by Dangun Wanggeom (Tangun), who was the progeny of the god Hwanung and a female bear who had been changed into a woman, as described in the Samguk yusa('Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms') from the 13th century CE.

This legend might represent the introduction of Bronze Age culture to Korea.

The Liao River is Gojoseon's northern border, while the Jin (Chin) state is its closest neighbour to the south.
