Confidential- Military Report

Subject: The war.

Date: December 1914

To Prime Minister Asquith

I am writing to inform you about the events that have taken place on

the Western Front. As you know, the war has been taking place for

sometime now, but im going to tell you the events that have happened

during August and December 1914.

As you may know our army has had to work around a few of the other

countrys plans. The Schlieffen plan has been one of the main plans

that has happened. But this had failed. Under this plan the Germans

wanted to capture paris then attack Russia so they wouldnt have to

split their army in two as they felt as if they would lose that way.

To do this they would have to go through Belguim and they thought

there would be no resistance from their army. They also thought that

Britain wouldnt want to fight against them while they were going

through Belguim. This plan did fail because of Belgiums resistance and

Russias army being prepared earlier than expected of the Germans.

Russia also had a plan of thier own and it turned out to be a success.

They managed to overwhelm Germany with the size of their army and get

it prepared in 10 days. This also helped the Schlieffen plan to fail.

Our army and France had a plan aswell. Which was called Plan 17. It

was a success as they managed to charge across the frontier and attack

Germany forcing them to surrender. The British Expeditionary Force was

well trained and equipped which meant they could go over to France

anytime and fight along side them. Most of these plans were all linked

to how the Schlieffen plan failed.

Also, there have been many important battles that have also taken

place that have started after these plans were devised. There has been

the Battle of the Mons which took place on 23rd August and the Battle

of the Marne which happened during the month of September. At the

  • How The United States Contained Communism in the Cold War

    After the war, the United States and the Soviet Union had very different ideas on how to rebuild. The United States, led by President Truman, wanted to form democracies in Europe and create a capitalistic society to build economically strong nations that would compliment the American economy through trade. In contrast, the Soviet Union, led by Joseph Stalin, wanted to rebuild itself and spread communism through Europe and Asia. In a desperate attempt to rebuild, many countries devastated by war fell under soviet influence and resorted to communism. The Soviet Union called these nations Satellite nations and hoped that they would serve as ?buffer? nations, preventing invasion from the west .In its efforts to defend democracy, the U.S. created the policy of containment. In this new policy, the United States would try to block Soviet influence by making alliances and supporting weaker nations. Winston Churchill described this strategy as an ?iron curtain?, which became and invisible line separating the communist from the capitalist countries in Europe. To help enforce the ideas of containment, President Truman create...

By embodying the Recon Creed and always setting the example, he made me want to be an NCO that my troops would look up to and want to follow. Even when not in charge he was constantly the one peers and junior Marines alike, turned to for guidance and inspiration. To this day, I still find myself asking “What would Louis do?” when confronted with a leadership dilemma.

    After the Korean War, it was believed that the United States’ nuclear build-up had played a key role in achieving armistice. At this time, early in President Eisenhower's term in office, he had announced his policy of nuclear superiority. During this time period of nuclear build up, the Soviet Union began to find ways to overcome deficiencies in their strategic technologies2. Not soon after Eisenhower made his policy known, Russia became the first country to successfully test ICBMs, or Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. These tactical nuclear weapons are land based rocket propelled vehicles capable of intercontinental range in excess of 4000 nautical miles....
