Hope For The Future

When people consider the history of the United States, they often think of past wars, political feuds and social movements. However, the country also has a lengthy past of scientific and industrial achievements. During the 19th century, when the United States was still an emerging nation, it led the world in technological advancements such as railroads and steamships. At that time, the Wright brothers' successful flight gave rise to a nation that had both hope and spirit for the future.

In the years leading up to World War I, Germany dominated the world's exports and manufacturing sectors. They also possessed the most modern weaponry, which created a sense of fear among other nations. As a result, America stood at the forefront of scientific and industrial advancements during this time. In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt spearheaded a group of scientists to create the first naval re-inforcement program. This program helped transform a national crisis into a triumphant display of national unity and strength. Ultimately, this program led to the creation of America's first naval vessel, the USS Ohio. To date, this ship remains the only U.S. built warship to include women aboard her crew.

As America prepared for war against Germany in 1917, public hysteria reached its peak. Many believed that Germany posed a threat to both England and France; as such, they joined together in creating the League of Nations. This organization explored ways to prevent future wars by settling international disputes peacefully instead of through war. Other organizations arose from World War II; these included the UN and The WFP (Welfare for Pregnant Women). These organizations aim to promote peace throughout the world and help nations overcome economic hardships.

During the Cold War between the US and USSR, each nation developed weapons to rival the other's capabilities. Both sides sought missiles that could reach each other's territory with minimal losses. Additionally, both nations invested heavily in nuclear research, which created a devastating but controllable release of energy. In response, each country built secret underground bases where their soldiers could hide from nuclear fallout in protected shelters. Ultimately, these endeavors furthered mankind's knowledge in dangerous sciences and protected global peace in exchange for nuclear arsenals on both sides.

Although today's world news headlines often focus on conflicts or natural disasters, many past innovations paved the way toward global unity and friendship. Today's world bears many similarities to America's early 20th century period of scientific enlightenment. Nations still pursue powerful weapons systems to protect themselves against external threats. Regardless of politics or disasters, many people still share a common goal of making life better for everyone on earth- especially those suffering from poverty or oppression elsewhere in the world.
