Turning Points of WWII: Battle of Midway, Battle of Britain, and Battle of Stalingrad

The fight for Guadalcanal was the result of the Japanese attempt to secure other valuable acquisitions in the Pacific Theater and to disrupt Allied military efforts in that Theater. Having successfully seized control of the Philippines, British Malaya, Singapore and the East Indies, the Japanese sought to protect those interests by seizure of additional islands. In addition, the Japanese sought to increasingly disrupt effective cooperation among Allied forces in the Pacific Theater by seizure of secondary islands. Guadalcanal was one of those secondarily seized islands. Aware of the importance of these islands, the Allied forces monitored Japanese movements throughout late 1941 and early 1942, though the U. S. Navy had suffered significant losses and was in some respects insufficient to successfully fight Japanese forces at that time. The Naval Battle of Guadalcanal was essentially Japan's last major attempt to control the seas surrounding Guadalcanal and/or retake control of the island itself. The battle itself and Allied victory in this battle served as a turning point in the Pacific Theater War, for several reasons. Occurring November 13 – 15, 1942, the Battle's very existence and importance weakened the Japanese overall war effort. Japanese concentration of limited forces for the Battle resulted in a decrease of needed land forces, thereby weakening Japanese war efforts elsewhere. In addition, Allied victory in the Battle succeeded in shifting Japanese efforts from aggression to defense: Japanese actions on and around Guadalcanal provided supplies to existing Japanese troops and evacuated troops rather than providing fresh troops and assertively staging attacks; also, the Japanese entirely retreated from the island in January of 1943 and the Allies were assured of utter control of the island approximately one month later. Finally, Allied victory and Japanese defeat at the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal was a unique key to Allied victory in the Pacific Theater: the United States was then readily able to deliver fresh troops and supplies on Guadalcanal; Guadalcanal proved to be a stepping stone to Allied victories in the entire Solomon chain of islands; and the United States was better able to isolate and neutralize other Japanese bases in the Pacific. Consequently, the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal was just as vital a turning point as was the Battle of Midway in World War II's Pacific Theater.

Rhetoric in Great Speeches Introduction – Cultural / Ideological Analysis Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) is credited by objective scholars and historians as having brought the United States out of the Great Depression, and as having guided the United States through the difficult and dangerous period during World War II. FDR was fiercely challenged by members of Congress when he was working to dig the country out of the Great Depression with his "New Deal." Members of Congress attacked FDR's programs as "socialism" – these attacks – using "socialism" as a hot-button word to stir up the population – were quite similar to what the current U.S. president, Barack Obama was accused of as he battled to win legislative approval of his signature healthcare reforms, the Affordable Healthcare Act. Along the way to achieving his goals to get the country on a financially even keel and to defeat Hitler and the Japanese, FDR's leadership was bolstered by his well-crafted speeches to the country. Thesis Many historians and scholars have posited that FDR's performance as president during the Great Depression and throughout most of World War II achieved levels of success beyond what any president ever faced before or after. One of the pivotal reasons he was so remarkably effective as president was that his speeches were extraordinarily well written and presented. FDR's speeches were designed to have great influence on the citizenry, and they certainly did. He used the power of his position as president – embracing ethos in the sense of asserting his absolute credibility – and he indeed achieved the credibility he demanded. In fact by originating the "fireside chat" – radio addresses that had a home-town tone but came from a lofty rhetorical authority – he presented truth, sincerity, and solution-based themes.
