A Splendid Little War

                      
Newspaper                                    Television     

Newspapers and television can start a war . All because now a days people believe what the Internet and television says. Just like in third world countries they can communicate with each other over the Internet as well as start a war using it. They can also report on what they see and say how they feel. People can dislike they way they are being treated like in Egpyt. They just had a revolution over the fact that they didn`t like their ruler so they posted it on the world wide web. Then they protest and their ruler dropped out of his office.

                                                             Spanish-American War 
If I had lived in Europe and found out that the United States had defeated Spain and became a great world power state I would be furious. I will be furious because Spain is apart of Europe and it`s like my hometown.  I will try to help Spain restore themself after the defeat and also to get on the Americans good side because Spain was weak. I wouldn`t be convinced that they had become powerful state because the U.S. picked on Spain. They knew that Spain were weak so they fought them that`s why they called it a Splendid Little War. It wasn`t a challenge for the U.S. at all it was very easy for them.

                                                       Japan`s Earthquake & Tsunami
        Japan recently had a earthquake and a tsunami. They are having a hard time trying to recover. Their food supplies are low, their homes are destroyed and Japan`s a mess.

    It was 1,093 feet tall. the earthquake `s shock wave was 200 the it took the statue down when it hit. After all of that a radio wave might hit. The  way Japanese people are dealing with the disaster is finding all the people who survived. Then they are putting them in shelters. They are also looking for clean water and good food as well as gas for homes and cars. The United States are also is going to help them as well.   When the quake warnings came Japan was worried because they tought is wasnt going to be that bad but it was. 
   The quake caused a nuclear plant to start and Japan could be completely be destoryed. Crew members is trying to keep the nuclear plant under control and they are getting some success but it not over. they are trying to unplug the wires so it won`t explode. the temperture is being kept down so nothing bad is going to happen. But there is no reason to say it will work or nything like that. The International Atomic Energy Agency was thinking they should but water in the pumps but it will make it worst.
