For the first part of this assignment I created an article and for the second part, I thought it would be creative to have cartoon demonstrating how the children would have felt if the contents of my article actually happened. Below is a bibliography of the sources that I used.

Due to social, political, and economic instability in the country, and rising tension with Haiti, the United States began a military occupation of the Dominican Republic from 1916 to 1924. During this occupation, the effects were mainly positive and order was restored throughout the Republic. The budget became rebalanced, the debt soon decreased to none, and economic growth rose widely. Some strongly opposed the occupation and the United States spent a number of years at battle with guerilla forces during their time there. After proposing The Harding Plan, and a new presidential election on the island, the Dominican Republic resumed control of their own land once again.

Between the years 1911, when an Morgan Shuster (an American) was made treasurer of Iran, and 2015 the relationship between the U.S. and Iran has been constantly evolving and altering. I was interested in exploring this political tie and this large spans of time because of its complexity and overall impact on both of the nations. Covering these 115 years reveals how drastic these changes actually were and the motives of the U.S. over the past century, which are displayed in the infographic.   

So for my infographic I decided to have bullets going one direction to represent arguments, and bullets in the opposite direction for counter arguments. I thought of having both arguments from the Mexican American War to kind of understand each story from both countries. I didn't just want to represent the pros of the war, but also the cons. 

In this info graphic I analyzed the economics of WWII, and how America's focus on the war differed drastically in comparison to other nations.  This war was an important part in American history during a time where isolationism garnered much support.  The effects of the war immediately damaged many economies, dealt a major blow to human life, as well as property damage. However, within the United States this war resulted in an economic boom that allowed America to exit the economic depression it had been in since the 30's. It also gave various settlements in lump sums of money to countries affected. Another result was the independence of many once occupied nations and areas. Areas such as Poland, France, and others were liberated or freed entirely, and Japanese forces in China were forced to withdraw.

Our info-graphic will teach you about some of the history between America and China's economy. There is also some interesting facts and statistics that you might not have known about. I don't fully remember how Me and Hannah came to this topic decision. However, this topic related with the spanish american war and the conquest of Philippines which helped us get started on what and what time period we wanted to focus on.  

My info graphic shows how the U.S. went to war with the Pathet Lao and kept it secret for twenty years. I picked this topic because it shows how the U.S. takes advantage of other countries in foreign involvement (the people of Laos repayed America by letting us bomb their country side in search for Vietnam military bases). Refer to Zoe's for picture.
