Nicaragua

Posted by Jasmin Gilliam in American History - Jonas - X on

The US has had a long standing history ​in Nicaragua and has chosen quite a few of the leaders for them. This info graphic shows the pattern of the outcomes of the different leaders the U.S. approved to rule the nation. The power usually got to the leaders and ended quite badly. We chose this subject because it seemed the most interesting and Ms Jonas has close ties to the country.

Haitian Aid 2010

In 2010 a devastating earthquake struck Haiti. Unfortunately, this earthquake struck one of the most populated areas of Haiti. This earthquake only worsened the situation for Haiti, already the poorest country in the Americas. We chose this topic because we wanted to focus on a positive and good-feeling interaction with another country, not a military intervention as we assumed most other people would do. 

Stuxnet

Posted by Tobi Hahn in American History - Jonas - X on

In 2006, relations between Iran and the U.S. were tense. The Bush administration considered Iran's nuclear program a growing threat that had to be dealt with, but did not consider military intervention an option. To intervene silently, the NSA and a secret Israeli agency created Stuxnet, a virus that would stealthily sabotage the computers controlling Iran's nuclear centrifuges.

Haitian Occupation

Posted by Ava Olsen in American History - Jonas - X on

​The Haitian Occupation was when the U.S. got involved with Haiti to use as a naval base and reduce foreign influence so there would be less to compete for. There were many bad outcomes from the involvement of the United States, but there were positive aspects as well that allowed Haiti to become more independent from the other nations that were controlling it as well. We decided to focus on this topic because it seemed less well known than the Haitian Revolution, and there were many events that lead up to the beginning and the end of the Haitian Occupation. We decided to create more of a timeline because it illustrates what happened and how it happened. (There weren't a lot of statistical evidence about this time period, so we stuck to important dates that explained why this event in history happened).

This graph is about the Haitian Occupation. The United States had an interest in Haiti years before its occupation because of its availability as a naval base. Loans were given to Haiti to aid in their instability problem, and to lessening their foreign influence and competition for Haiti’s land. However, the debt was too large for Haiti to pay off, which resulted in France intervening.

Vietnam Civilian Casualty Infographic

Posted by Mitchell Berven-Stotz in American History - Jonas - X on

United States involvement in the Vietnam War was advertised as a war against communism. People were told that the government was fighting to stop the spread of communism across Asia, and that Vietnam's communist Viet Cong's defeat would end that. What the war ended up being was a massive slaughter of civilians and long lasting damage to property. It even had lasting negative effects on our veterans. Our infographic focuses on the damage dealt to those not considered "the enemy".

Le infograph by Salas Saul

Posted by Saul Salas in American History - Jonas - X on

​Le infograph shows the interest and reason why the U.S. invaded the island of Puerto Rico. The actions conflicted on it caused Spain to do that was originally involving just with Cuba because of a American ship exploded, which was called the Maine, and because of that, the U.S. saw this as an excuse to conquer land to invest money and build military.

I did this because I liked Puerto Rico and wanted to know a bit more about it since I go there.

The Berlin Airlift Infographic

Posted by Lauren Hummel in American History - Jonas - X on

This infographic is on the Berlin Airlift and some of the events leading up to it. After World War II, the Allies, America, France, the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, spilt Germany into four pieces for each Ally and the capital of Berlin was also divided into four, even though it was deep in the Soviet territory. The Soviet Union cut off Berlin from the outside and so other three the Allies started the Berlin Airlift to give supplies to their sections. The infographic gives more details about this all. 
I chose this topic because World War II is the most interesting part of history to me and this gave me a good idea and new information about what happened afterwards.

Haiti Earthquake Infographic (With Josh Berg)

Our infographic was decidedly focused on a topic in U.S. foreign relations that did not involve war or any kind of military conflict. We wanted to focus on a chapter in U.S. history where we were lending a helping hand to a country in need. The united States was a big player in the Haiti relief effort, helping the country get back on its feet after the disaster.
