Chapter 27 Questions: Number Two Thesis Statement
 * Question Two:** After proclaiming nuetrality begining in 1935, America slowly engaged in WWII through the steps of signing the Atlantic Charter, concern ovre the Germany invasion of the USSR, and the Lend-Lease program.The final tipping point was the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in December of 1941.
 * Question One:** Before being bombed at Peral Harbor, America was indirectly involved in the war without congress declaring war. Americas official foreign policy was nuetrality, though it was supplying the Allied Powers with money and war supplies throughout the lates 1930s.
 * Questions Three:** During the interwar years America transitioned from practicing isolationism to limited internationalism through supplying the Allied Powers with war supplies and intervening in Japanese expansionism, which provijed the attack on Pearl Harbor.
 * Question Four:** Putting the world on another path toward war, Germany, Italy, and Japan

 * Map Analysis (741)**
 * The map on page 741 demonstrates the advancements throughout the war of the two major players in World War Two, both Japan and America. The overall focus of the map is to portary a geographic timeline of the movements of both Japan and America throughout the war leadingh up to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which brought the war to an end. The map highlights specific key battles and victorties of both forces including the Pearl Harbor bomibing which initially set the war into motion. From the looks of the map, the Japanese forces almost developed a border around the movements of the American forces, which could serve as a disadvantage for the Japanese forces because the longer the commute of the troops the more time wasted, which could ultimately serve as one of the reasons the Japanese lost the war to the American forces. The map is significant because it demonstrates the changing fortunes of both the Japanese and the American forces as the war quickly came to an end resulting in an American victory.

=**Map Analysis Page 833**=

The Map portrayed on page 833 demonstrates the multiple ways in which Washington ordered Cold War driven interventions in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean as a result of the fear of the spread of communist takeovers as happened in Cuba in the 1960s. The map demonstrates how the Cold War prepared the United States to intervene in the Latin American affairs of its neighbors. The map depicts the various times in which the United States provided military and economic aid, invaded, or devised treaties with Latin American and South American nations throughout the period from 1954-2001. One of the most significant events on the map, in my opinion includes the establishment of the 1978 Canal Zones treaty, which returned the control of the canal to Panama and the U.S. control of canal operations through 1999.

=Page 839= The map depicted on page 839 demonstrates the war in Vietnam and IndoChina throughout the period of 1964 through 1975. The map demonstrates how the war in Vietnam, unlike many other wars was very scattered when it comes to geography as opposed to being traditionally fought in close notions. The map depicts the U.S. naval bases, the use of the Ho Chi Minh Trail and the commmunist supply route, as well as the directions in which the U.S. and South Vietnam invaded Cambodia. The map walks the reader through the geographic counterparts of the war all the way up to the United State invasions of Cambodia in 1970. I feel as though this map does a great job depicting the outskirts and geographics of the war as it paints a picture of the neighboring counties that surrounded Vietnam, those including China tro the North, Laos to the left, and on its right the Gulf of Tonkin within the South China Sea.

=Vietnam War Timeline= 1954 1959 1964 1966 1968 1975

 * National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) created in Vietnam
 * United States bombs North Vietnam for the first time

 * Vietnam War ends

= =Where Historians Disagree on the Vietnam War (Opinions)= In my opinion, the Vietnam War was a next to pointless battle fought as a result of the Americans fear of the spread of communism. Multiple lives were lost and irrevocable damage was caused to many nations as a result of the dare I say pointless fighting. I feel as though the issue that occurred in South Vietnam was not as much an American issue as it resulted to become-- I feel as though the Americans should have intervened in the conflict between North and South Vietnam to a certain extent contributing aid in the forms of money and border control rather than in full blown military aid under the United States. All in all, the North ended up taking over the South regardless of the Americans interference and actions, therefore, ithe American intervention was a waste of American efforts and lives.
