The shifting numbers brought ridicule, but it didn’t matter: McCarthy’s lies won him fame and fueled a new “red scare.”
Scare factors played a huge part in the entire war.
-
The North Koreans launched a successful surprise attack and Seoul, the capital of South Korea, fell to the communists on June 28. The U.N. passed resolutions demanding that North Korea withdraw to the thirty-eighth parallel and calling on member states to provide the ROK military assistance to repulse the northern attack.
Is this an example of another proxy war?
-
“increasingly terrifying weapons of mass destruction” and warned “every individual” of “the ever-present possibility of annihilation.”
This is interesting.
-
But it was not entirely clear that all communist movements threatening democratic governments were unwelcome Soviet interventions in otherwise stable nations.
How did the people feel about this????
-
He committed the United States to a hard-line, anti-Soviet approach.
Did the communism scare the people as badly as it scared he US and Uk governments?

Movement up the peninsula was slow and in some battles conditions returned to the trench-like warfare of World War I. Still, the Allies pushed up the peninsula
Did they not see how useless trench warfare was?
-
While Hitler marched across Europe, the Japanese continued their war in the Pacific.
It's interesting how big this war was. There was so any different fronts, it feels bigger than WW1 definitely but just by far so large in comparison to the wars before this time.
-
The Japanese army was a technologically advanced force consisting of 4,100,000 men and 900,000 Chinese collaborators, all armed with modern rifles, artillery, armor, and aircraft
I was under the impression that America had a really strong military. Was it weak (in comparison) because of WW1? Or just because they weren't looking to get involved in the war? (Unlike Japan who was looking to prove strength)
-
News of the “Rape of Nanjing” reached the West, but many were skeptical because the violence was so extreme.
It's really crazy to me that they were being so drastically violent that it wasn't even believable.
-
Hitler had betrayed Stalin and invaded the Soviet Union.
Did he do this because he wanted to be the sole leading power? Or because they were communist? (Or both?)

We had a bad banking situation. Some of our bankers had shown themselves either incompetent or dishonest in their handling of the people's funds.
Its both interesting and a great source of ethos to be able to admit and address this problem to the general public.
-
These state banks are following the same course as the national banks except that they get their licenses to resume business from the state authorities, and these authorities have been asked by the Secretary of the Treasury to permit their good banks to open up on the same schedule as the national banks.
Is this because of the tenth amendment?
-
The new law allows the twelve Federal Reserve banks to issue additional currency on good assets and thus the banks that reopen will be able to meet every legitimate call
Were people generally excited about a way out of this/this crucial change?
-
I want to talk for a few minutes with the people of the United States about banking—
I think it's a really good, interesting use of rhetoric to include the listener in the conversation. Rather than saying "I wanna talk about", he said "I want to talk with". This makes people want to listen because they feel like apart of it.

Bankers benefitted from national banking laws that consolidated finance in New York. The government and the railroads it financed were the steel industry’s biggest customers
and this is why they allowed it that way and made it happen that way? because it benefitted them.

workers complained, they continued
Is this because of how simple their labor was? With simple tasks like that, the unskilled workers must become so replaceable. If they threatened to quit, would the boss not just fire them and replace them anyways?
-
decision to stop coining silver dollars in 1873 and return to the gold standard in 1875 exacerbated the financial distress,
Why did they do this? Especially when there was already financial distress?
-
“The Depression”.
This is also new to me. When you started talking about it in class, I got confused because it was too early for The Great Depression to have been starting.
