Chemical Weapons Mustard Gas
722 wordsNew weaponry and interventions can ultimately decide who will win a war. In World War I there were many new weapons introduced into the battle scene.

Spheres Of Influence Sphere Of Influence
1,034 wordsMy first inclination would be to answer the first question with a clear "YES." But come to think of it, the causes of war really have not changed at all, or at least very little. Rather than changes, there has been a shift in the causes. The cause of war which has dominated the last 50 years was the cause of ideology. However, due to the recent end of the Cold War, this cause of war, has significantly declined and is almost trivial. The causes of war have shifted from mainly ideological ones to ...

American Born Growing Number
624 wordsThough it's immediate effect is mostly symbolic, U. S. /Cuba policy in 1998 reflects a positive shift in attitudes amongst the leaders of Cuba and the U. S.
