Harry Truman, president after WWII
<span>Even after his death, Hitler’s mental
condition has been an important topic for discussion. He was reported to have
suffered from megalomania, paranoia, and hysteria. Such condition, if it was
true made him very difficult to please and to be with. His entry into the
German leadership, however, gave hope to the Germans to recover from their
humiliation in their defeat during the World War I and their weak Weimar
Republic. Thus, the National Social German Workers’ Party or Nazi was welcomed
wholly by the middle class, the youth, and the unemployed. In their desperation,
Hitler became their savior, believing that his strong character though
obviously flawed could create a huge change for their betterment.</span>
I would not say we had a better advantages at all
Answer:
Spanish-American War Begins
The ensuing war was pathetically one-sided, since Spain had readied neither its army nor its navy for a distant war with the formidable power of the United States.
In the early morning hours of May 1, 1898, Commodore George Dewey led a U.S. naval squadron into Manila Bay in the Philippines. He destroyed the anchored Spanish fleet in two hours before pausing the Battle of Manila Bay to order his crew a second breakfast. In total, fewer than 10 American seamen were lost, while Spanish losses were estimated at over 370. Manila itself was occupied by U.S. troops by August.
The elusive Spanish Caribbean fleet under Adm. Pascual Cervera was located in Santiago harbor in Cuba by U.S. reconnaissance. An army of regular troops and volunteers under Gen. William Shafter (including then-secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt and his 1st Volunteer Cavalry, the “Rough Riders”) landed on the coast east of Santiago and slowly advanced on the city in an effort to force Cervera’s fleet out of the harbor.
Cervera led his squadron out of Santiago on July 3 and tried to escape westward along the coast. In the ensuing battle all of his ships came under heavy fire from U.S. guns and were beached in a burning or sinking condition.
Santiago surrendered to Shafter on July 17, thus effectively ending the brief but momentous war.
