the Internment camps were viewed as a bleak and dark time for the American justice system, where thousands of Japanese Americans lost their homes and rights over Racial prejudice. They were forced into the barren wastelands of the West coast desert, where they would live under surveillance of the WRA. There did exist a way for the Japanese to escape the prisons that they would be forced into, by enrolling in college. The NJASRC was created to help the Japanese escape the camps into colleges, so that they can resume their education.

During the War of 1812 privateers acted as a supplement to the United States Navy by disrupting British trade. Of the 600 plus privateering ships to take part in the war, those commanded by Thomas Boyle and Samuel Handy were the most successful. Through effective sailing, out gunning, and wise tactics these two privateering captains were able to take more prizes than other captains during the war. Their successes caused numerous problems for British merchants and the British Royal Navy, allowing them to become the perfect examples of why privateering mattered during the War of 1812.

After World War I ended on November 11, 1918, the world was in dire need of a leader who would prevent a major war like this ever happening again. United States President, Woodrow Wilson, was self-determined to give the people around the world what they wanted. He became the voice for the world when he addressed his famous Fourteen Points that outlined his beliefs to maintain peace and give the consequences Germany deserved. Wilson decided to attend the Paris Peace Conference in France thinking his presence would persuade foreign leaders to agree with him. In order for other countries to agree with Wilson's ideas, he had to come to agreements with the wants of France's Georges Clemenceau and Britain's David Lloyd Johnson. The United States would become the real opposition in the end for Woodrow Wilson's fight for peace.

During German occupation Europeans had their lives changed dramatically. Some places had better treatment, whether it was because of resources and services they could offer the Nazis, or because of the amount of resistance it had. Every aspect of daily life changed and the effects of occupation are still felt today. Resistance movements attempted to push out the Germans but none had overwhelming success for a number of reasons. Whether resistance was big or small it all had the same main idea to push out the Germans and to free Europe from its grasp.

Germany's occupation of France during World War II brought about many changes to the once free republic, one of the most significant being the establishment of the Vichy Regime as France's new government. Vichy actively collaborated with their Nazi occupiers, through such actions as discrimination against minority groups, such as Jews, and overall contributions to the success of the German war effort. This work explores the formation of Vichy as a government, and its subsequent actions in relation to Nazi collaboration.
