At the end of WWI a treaty was signed in Versailles, France that blamed Germany for the war and required them to pay reparations for the war. I think that the Senate should have adopted them treaty, however they did not. Perhaps it was because, with the Separation of Powers, no one branch of government should have more power than another.
ReplyDeleteIn the year 1920, the 19th amendment was passed, giving women the right to vote. Women organized programs and marches to tell people that they should have the right to vote, which is only reasonable seeing as they helped a great deal in the war.
Japanese Internment was when we sent Japanese-Americans to camps, because America was getting paranoid about Pearl Harbor. I don't think that this was a very reasonable thing to do, because the Japanese-Americans would not have come to the United States if they had wanted to destroy us.In the 1980's the United States apologized to the Japanese and gave $20,000 checks to the descendants of those who had been put into Internment camps and passed the Civil Rights Act.

The Treaty of Versailles was one of the peace treaties at the end of World War I. It ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919.
ReplyDeleteThe 19th Amendment securing women's rights to vote. Women, being that they helped greatly in WWII, felt they deserved equal rights among the men. Which they indeed did deserve to have.
Japanese-American internment was the forced relocation and internment by the United States government in 1942 of approximately 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese residing along the Pacific coast of the United States to camps called "War Relocation Camps," in the wake of Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. No I do not think this was very reasonable because the Japanese-Americans had a reason why they wanted to leave and come over to America. And that was because they did not want to get involved with what Japan planned to do to us. They where also under a dictatorship if I remember correctly, and did not want to live under Japanese rule.
The treaty that ended WW1 was the Treaty of Versailles. This was signed on the 28th of June in 1919. It was a peace treaty to settle the war between Germany and the Allies. I think the US should have adopted the treaty because it would have helped the state.
ReplyDeleteWomen had the right to vote in 1920. The 19th Amendment provided the help for women's rights.
During the World War Two, more than 120,000 Japanese Americans were forced by the US Government to leave their homes, and everything behind. I do not think that this policy was very fair. Honestly, I don't think that the Japanese Americans would be in any harm of the US.

It was the Treaty of Versailles that ended WWI in 1918. The US Senate did not adopt this Treaty. The provisions of this treaty called for Germany to take full blame for the war and Germany also had to pay $33 billion in reparations to the Allies. It also broke up the Austro-Hungary and Ottoman Empires and barred Germany from maintaining an Army. I believe that the US Senate was correct in not adopting the treaty because the US would have lost their right to declare war. The US Senate was afraid that the League of Nations might take away their power to declare war and with the Separation of Powers, this is one of the powers afforded to the US Senate (to declare war).
ReplyDeleteIn 1920, the 19th Amendment was passed which gave women the right to vote. The Woman Suffrage movement began in the 1800’s, but really did get attention until the early 1890’s. Some of the key persons involved were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott who organized the first women’s rights convention, Susan B. Anthony who organized the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and Alice Paul who organized a march in Washington DC to lobby lawmakers. I think that women did alot during this time and should have been given to right to vote.
When the US entered into WWII, they were concerned about the threat of Japanese spies. The Japanese Internment was an order by President Roosevelt which placed Japanese-Americans in internment camps during the war. I do not believe this policy was reasonable but I’m sure that during that time, especially since Pearl Habor was attacked, the US felt that they had no choice. Many years later, in 1988, President Ronald Reagan officially apologized to the survivors of the internment camps. In addition, legislation was passed provided $20,000 to each survivor.

The Treaty of Versailles ended World War I on November 11th, 1918. France wanted Germany to take the blame for the whole war. They also wanted Germany to have to pay reparations to other countries. I think that they should have adopted the war, because maybe it would have stopped us from going into another other war in later years.
ReplyDeleteThey got their voting rights in 1920. The Nineteenth Amendment was the amendment which granted this. Many women had rallies and/or marches to show that they wanted the right to vote, and to do more things like men could do.
Japanese Interment was a policy that sent Japanese people to camps, because American was scared about what happened to Pearl Harbor. I don’t think this was a reasonable policy, because I don’t think that all the Japanese were involved in Pearl Harbor. In 1980 the United States was to apologize, then wrote many checks of large amounts to people who were put into camps, because of Pearl Harbor.

The treaty of Versailles ended world war 2. Germany had to take full responsibility for the war and repay $33billion in reparation. No the US senate should not have adopted this treaty. It was an excuse for another confrontation. The president had too much decision making power. The congress had turned over control of the economy over to the president that needed to be corrected. That's why today you need the congress to declare war.
ReplyDeleteThe women achieved the right to vote in 1920. The 19th amendment secured the this right. The women brought together a program called the suffragettes to tell the people why they should have the right to vote. My feelings about this is that I'm glad the women stuck up for themselves.
The Japanese internment was when the US put the Japanese Americans into camps. I do not think it was a reasonable policy because most of the Japanese Americans were born in the US and none of the Japanese people had nothing to do with pearl harbor. The US gave $20,000 to the families that went to the camps. The civil rights act was passed.

the treaty of Versailles was the treaty that ended WWI. France blamed Germany for the war and required them to pay reparations for the war. I think that the Senate should have adopted the treat. They did not though because the separation of powers states that no one branch of government should have more power than another.
ReplyDeleteIn 1920, the 19th amendment was passed giving women the right to vote. They set up programs and marches to say they have the right to vote. I think it was reasonable because the women helped during the war.
We sent Japanese-Americans to camps because American was nervous about pearl, that was Japanese Internment. I do not think it was reasonable to do because they would not come to destroy us. In 1980s U.S. apologized to the Japanese and gave 20,000 dollar checks to the descendants of the ones put in the camps and passed the Civil Rights act.
