Yellow journalism is basically people exaggerating. In simpler words, it is a newspaper (such and such) that contains no real information behind the story that is being given to the person reading it. Nowadays, the Internet can be an example of yellow journalism. People post things that are not true or have no evidence behind it. The summary is, is that yellow journalism is something where journalists say/write/do to trick people into thinking a certain story is true without any real facts.
Yes I do believe that the confederate flags is a symbol of racism and white supremacy because people who hold up that flag think that white people are better than everyone else. No because the confederate flag is unamerican. No the confederate symbols should not be displayed on government property’s or any building because the symbol is racist.
(This is just my opinion)
(But the confederate flag represent white supremacy basically)
Off the top of my head:
The US devised the Manhattan project during ww2 and afterwards to develop nuclear weapons. The kept this secret from USSR even though they were allied. This contributed to Stalin’s paranoia and increased tensions between the two countries.
You also mention how Truman used this ‘atomic-monopoly’ to give him confidence and make him think that he could dictate decisions during the Potsdam conference and other meetings which heightened tensions with USSR.
Nuclear weapons also played a large role during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the point where nuclear war was at it’s closest to becoming reality and destroying the world.
By that point the USSR had also developed atomic bombs. The fact both superpowers had nuclear weapons meant they had to be sensitive in the way they handled each other and you could link this with Cuba and argue that it was the only reason the Cold War didn’t turn into full-scale, physical war.
There’s other things you could say beyond these points as well.
It could be argued that both the Pax Romana and Athenian Golden Age impacted the modern world in that they both provided for long periods of development in terms of politics, art, and culture--since during the Pax Roman there was no warfare, and during the Golden Age of Athens there was widespread artistic and scientific advancement.
