The U.S. carried on a "island-hopping campaign in order to what?

History

Elena L [17]3 years ago

The US carried on an "island-hopping campaign" in order to dismantle Japanese military holdings in the Pacific Ocean during the Second World War. When the US entered war with Japan in 1942, it was set to be a unique war due to the vast distance between both countries (the Pacific Ocean). The Japanese had taken a large number of islands in the Pacific that they used to refuel ships, planes, and wage war against the US. Rather than launching an all out war on the Japanese mainland (which would have been near impossible due to the Japanese presence <em>throughout </em>the Pacific and even into Alaska), the US had to piece-by-piece take out these islands by island-hopping; US marines would arrive at an island, fight the Japanese, take the island, and set up their own air bases and ship docks.

What ideas did Thomas Hobbes and John Locke develop about the nature of government
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Hobbes and Locke developed the theory of government as a "social contract" between the people who are governed and the government that is established.

Explanation:

  • Thomas Hobbes published a famous work called <em>Leviathan </em>in 1651.  The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast. Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society.  In Hobbes view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast).    Hobbes' view of the natural state of human beings without a government held that people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests.  So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen.  And so people willingly enter a "social contract" in which they live under a government that provides stability and security for society.
  • John Locke published his <em>Two Treatises on Civil Government</em> in 1690, following the mostly peaceful transition of government power that was the Glorious Revolution in England.  Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings. Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, which includes choosing to form governments to make life and society better.  This was his application of the "social contract" theory.
