world war i. and the national security affairs at the marine core staff college. and katrina, a lectorrer in the united kingdom. michael nyberg, since we're commemorating the beginning of the world war, rather than it's end, did anybody contemplate the possibility for introduction that was emerging in the summer of 1914? >> i don't think so. i think if you could having fast forwarded it to show the leaders of the world they were creating, i don't think that any of them would make the decision to go to wash. they had in enter minds a shorter conflict, hopefully something to be resolved in months, and not putting them in a conflict. the introduction of the four major monarchies in europe. >> professor, were they fighting a 19th century war with 20th century tools? >> . >> well, it may have started out that way, because there had not been a major war in europe for almost a century. you had some individual affairs like the franco prussian war dragged on a bit. but it was over quickly. the crimine war was over refine quickly. and no one had imagined the kind of stale on which it would have been fought. but

think about the world the united states was trying to impress. the american constitution created a republic in a world of empires, monarchies, and monarchs. the united states was something new on the world stage. although the founders look back to republics of the ancient world for guidance, in essence they were creating something new in the modern world. something untried, untested, and fragile. i think it is easy to forget how new and experimental the young nation was during its founding years. you can certainly hear it in the comments of a lot of people at the time. for example, here's james madison at the launching of the new government in 1789. he said we are in a wilderness without a single footstep to guide us. here is george washington that same year. i walk on untrodden ground. here is the senator from that period from pennsylvania who had the same exact feeling in 1789. he wrote, the whole world is a shell and we tread on hollow ground every step. if you think about it, those are three remarkably similar statements. is almost like these

power over the rest of the world which is its conventional military dominance and this is fading now i disagree that the united states does not recognize the multipolar world they've recognized that for a while the national intelligence council in two thousand and eight put out the global trends twenty twenty five report which was all about analyzing the emerging multi-polar world. it's fairly accurately it must be said and even in two thousand and nine during one of joe biden's visit to the ukraine he quite facetiously stated that the united states is trying to build a multi-polar world the u.s. is trying to build a multi-polar world that recognizes it's happening but it wants it to emerge in a form that is of its own choosing and that feels as reflective of its values and the way it hopes to do that is by tying the rest of the world into. the institutions of global governance and other internet international organizations which propagate its values and they've run into a number of problems the complete failure of the g eight the subversion of the g twenty. the failure of the world trade organization to conti

they are the united states world series champions. an unbelievable story. taking care of the powerhouse of the west. las vegas, nevada. hondras. double play balls. some strong pitching. we'll be back after this message, and a word from our abc stations. >> karl: welcome back. again, we started the telecast talking about optimism and hope. the unpredictability of 11, 12, and 13-year-old boys. the first all-african-american team to make it here in about 30 years. 10:00 a.m. tomorrow, the consolation game, japan and las vegas, nevada. and then 1:00 p.m. eastern time on espn. what a shot from brad stone in the fifth to put his team on top. and the first four hitters for las vegas. they are feared, and should be. stone coming up with a huge hit. and the houston bouncing back. the resilience of chicago coming through. off the glove, and finding a hole. seeing some great defense throughout the entire tournament from nevada. and one miscue from kryszczuk playing second. i think him being hurt, unable to start the game. and howard, silky smooth gets it. and the inni

one clearly a lot of the factors led to world war two so we wouldn't probably have had world war two if the united states had jumped in on the side of the allies in world war one george how does the first world war remain with us because i've anyone has mentioned quite a few facts here i like the appeasement thing that's very important here but if the first world war hadn't ended the way it did we wouldn't have probably had munich problem in one thousand thirty eight we probably wouldn't even had nazi germany go ahead george. no i agree with you. and i and i agree largely would i haven't said i think that when america got into that war in one nine hundred seventeen it ensured an allied victory whereas if america hadn't got everything when the most likely outcome of the war would have been a draw on the western front and the german victory over russia on the eastern front but that defeat of germany and then the agreements that followed. led to the extraordinary anger and resentment on the part of the germans that they had been singled out for blame for world war one that they had been unnecessarily

the deposing of saddam hussein and was an indication of the kind of influence that the united states has in the world, respect for the united states, the coalition we put together. forty-nine nations continue to fight alongside us in afghanistan. that kind of global lead makes a significant impact on the united states trade cannot foreign-policy, and diplomatic policy in the world. >> enhanced the liberty of anyone in this audience? >> just look at the advent of global trade and the global economic opportunities that i am sure the following witness that follows me will be able to expand on in great length. >> you don't think we would have had a global trade if we had not had the iraq war? >> i think we would not have had a substantial amount of influence that we have throughout the world. >> you don't think we have substantial influence on the world before the iraqi war? >> i think we did. again, like vietnam the 20 / 20 hindsight would have been -- we did not have weapons of mass destruction there as people thought we did. and probably would not have intervened. unfortunately foreign-policy leaders

world war i had. explain to americans just what a big chunk of national memory that war took up in a place like the unitedkingdom. >> yes, the first world war is extremely prominent in british memory. it hasn't always been the case, i don't think. certainly, there has been jay winter, our colleague at yale, has turned this memory boom, which i think is really very evident from the post second war generation. that's very important for american audience to understand. the second world war framed the memory of the first world war. with the advent of the second world war people were able to reflect on the first, the so-called war to end all wars. well, it simply hasn't. thus the second world war became more easily understood as a good war. there was a clear enemy. nazi germany should be defeated. but when i reflect on the first world war it becomes difficult what the first world war was about. who was the clear enemy and what was the clear objective in the first world war. but it is very prominent in british memory, and the commemorations that are unfol unfolding are tempt testaments to that. it's the fabric

this comes as a second american diagnosed with the virus has arrived in the united states. the worldnization says 887 people have died in the outbreak, prompting new travel restrictions in west africa. here is the report. >> reporter: the announcement of a second ebola victim in nigeria is raising fears that the seven-month long epidemic in three african nations could spread in the continent's most populous nation. >> this is the case of the ebola disease, and the government has put in place structures, strategy to detect cases. this is coming from one of the cases under surveillance, and that's why we are able to pick it early enough. >> reporter: the first victim collapsed on arrival in the city and was put in hospital. he may have spread his illness to more people. many of them impossible to trace in the endless shacks and apartments. nigeria has a surveillance system to prevent and control the spread of ebola within his borders. some countries in west africa have been put on red alert. and public health officials have been deployed across the country. the government has also take

>> a plane carrying an american aid worker infected with the ebola virus has left for the united states. "world health organization" has launched $100 million plan to help africa fight the virus. >> reporter: uniting ebola in the fight against ebola. they're spreading the word. a killer that has taken over 700 lives. the heads of those west african nations have agreed to an isolation zone at the heart of the outbreak. they believe the world organization chief who make this appeal to the international community. >> we must support the extraordinary measures and other resources including financial resources. >> reporter: this is the largest outbreak since ebola was identified in 1976, and some medical staff treating victims have themselves become infected. two sickened american aid workers in liberia are being flown to atlanta for treatment. the first time an infected victim has entered the united states. they've become infected through medical care, and we feel that we have the environment and expertise to safely care for these patients and offer them the maximum opportunity for recovery from th

volunteer soldiers in the combat team served as segregated troops in north africa in world war ii, the most decorated unit in world war history and earning the nickname the purple heart battalion, their motto was remember pearl harbor. their argument was they were americans not as the u.s. government classified them and their families, enemy aliens. offering mahi mahi and the like, mishmash. he mentioned his craving for plate lunch listing rainbow drive-in as a possible stop. his mother met his father at the university of hawaii and his mother's remarriage blessed him with a half indonesian sister, he's our first place lunch president. i see the history of hawaii as a painful tale of native loss, combined with ethnic saga symbolized by mix plate, in which soy sauce and mayonnaise congeal. i'm also and mostly the descendant of european immigrants notably swedish peasants that left for kansas in the same reason plantation workers sailed to hawaii. whenever i eat plate lunch i think back to my swedish great grandfather's voyage across the atlantic. supposedly the only thing he brought with him was a big hunk

that's the way the world is lookingality the united states. parent who never backed up a threat. >> it is amazing, governor, i have travelled the world and think back to the administration, we think there is admiration and respect and had a good dialogue with our friends. they knew what we stood for and represented. that no longer exist. >> the people fighting with and for isis are really0h0zp assemb from all over the world including the people from the united states and they are fighting and they have u.s. passports. how dangerous is it for them to get on the next flight to the u.s. and come home. >> the second of defense said it is the most serious threat. we had one young american lived and educated in the united states and trained withe sis and became a suicide bomber. we have people with passports and no visas required. this burden is not on our military. but on law enforcement and intelligence. it is a big burden. and tracking them to see where they are and where they are and some of them are going to want to come here. and those who don

bit, what here is sort of incongruous or odd about jewish socialists believe in workers of the world uniting that are really only getting the jewish workers of the world to unite. why do you have a jewish labor organization of any kind? isn't that a problem? isn't that contradictory? what do you think? yeah. >> a lot of the labor organizations at the time were anti-immigrant because >> or so it was said. >> so jews had to form their own alternative labor organizations. >> a lot of the established labor organizations were anti-immigrant. but that would -- if i'm following the argument, so it should and jewish, italian, irish, polish greek labor unions. they're all immigrants. why don't we have an immigrants labor organization? why a jewish labor organization? or the jews bond with other immigrants? yes. >> well, a lot received a lot of like bad treatment in the workplace when people found out they were jewish. like it was fine until people realized they were jewish and they were getting attacked or robbed on the streets, things like that. >> so, argue that out. so that led them to -- >> so th

world. by 1945, the united states had confounded its enemies and amazed the world by mobilizing resources wearely understood we had back in 1939. our ability to quickly and completely mobilize these resources brought military victory and economic recovery. richard gill explains this increase in guns and butter at the same time. more guns and butter? but we just proved that limits exist in economics. more alaskan wilderness. fewer minerals. the main answer to the paradox is pretty obvious. there's a production possibilities curve for guns and butter much like our curve for alaskan wilderness. no one said we had to be on the curve. during most of the 1930s, we were operating way inside the curve. because of massive unemployment, we weren't exploiting our production possibilities. had all our workers had jobs and all our factories been producing at capacity, we'd have had much more civilian goods. but we were back here. when the war effort got serious, when everybody was working and our factories were running to capacity, we could increase our gun production and still have more civilian goods.

that deposing of saddam hussein and was an indication of the kind of influence that the united states has in the world, the respect for united states, the coalition we put together. we have 49 nations that continue to fight alongside us in afghanistan and that kind of global leadership makes a significant impact on the united states trade, foreign policy and diplomatic policy in the world. >> has enhanced the liberties of anyone in this audience? >> just look at the advanced of global trade and the global economic opportunities and i'm sure the witness that follows me mr. forbes will be able to expand on it in great link. >> you don't think they would have had global trade if we didn't have the iraq war? >> i don't think we would have had the substantial amount of influence we have throughout the world. >> you don't think we have substantial influence before the iraq war? >> again like vietnam in 20/20 hindsight as mr. d'souza has stated would have -- we didn't have weapons of mass destruction as people thought he didn't saddam thought he did and probably wouldn't have intervened if he had 20/20 hinds

world context. cold war was going on in which the united states and the soviet union were competing for influence in the world. the united nations had been created. as i mentioned to you before, i think, the general assembly of the united nations is a body in which every country is represented. and with the break up of the european empires after world war ii you end up with dozens of countries represented in the u.n. that are places where people of color live. so it became less and less tenable for a president of the united states to try to get anything accomplished on the world stage or the united nations and have to explain why black people can't eat in a restaurant in a d.c. suburb. the emergence of visual media. there was media in the first reconstruction, newspapers. but you may agree having looked at the films we saw in this class, that there's nothing like seeing film of a building burning down or somebody being beaten up or police dogs jumping on women and children or people being knocked down by fire hoses, the fact that the visual media existed in the 1950s and '60s augmented these other f

the challenge that president obama faces is one the things he is arguing is that the united states must accept a world where outcomes aren't perfect and the united states doesn't intervene in every time. when he says this we must live in uncertainty and that leads to instability in place after place after place and countries in some cases the united states has invested billions in the cases of iraq and afghanistan it undercuts the argument, that is the united states or most americans that you talk to want to still be the indispensable nation and maybe not give the resources this these kinds of problems demand. the obama argument is different than what we heard from others in the past. gwen: not much of a doctrine saying get use to the untidiness of it. >> i was speaking to someone from an embassy today who said we are just not used to an america this is not confident and that was an interesting message. that is the feeling that they are getting overseas is we just are not -- we are anxious internally. all these domestic problems with congress and things not getting ton but also we are projecting a lac

don't believe -- ted [ applause ] i don't believe -- i think the biggest danger to the united states and the world the u.s military otoday.. it's a parasite sucking the blood of the country and i would say, at least 95% of it should bekids abolished. and if you really like those , kids in the military, and i have nothing against them personally, they should come back here n find productive labor.thing >> let me ask you this.bs because it's easy to say these things in the abstract. the policemen in a city are also the domestic equivalent of a military because they are ck supposed to keep us safe from domestic thugs.t would you be in favor abolishing 95% of all the police in the united states? >> i believe in abolishing the state. the state and state police.>> t >> that's very moderate. >> to answer your question, the police in this country are n mil becoming militarized. most of them today are tary ex-soldiers trained in militaryo techniques, now with military tn equipment, so the answer to your question isst that anything tha the police do in the united y states can be done better and cheaper and

just a few weeks ago, germany's top soccer players were united, lifting the world cup together in the ultimate soccer victory. now they are playing for their clubs again, and the first match of the new season is a very big one. >> ortman faces bayern munich, the two best seasons -- best teams of last season competing for the world cup. >> they will be finding out tomorrow night if their catch-up spending spree was enough. >> germany's top two clubs on the pitch, the sidelines, and even between club bosses, emotions run high. dortmund recently told by her and -- bayern's chairman in no uncertain terms to keep his mouth shut after he revealed a buyout clause in a contract. >> we see what they are up to, but we say nothing. perhaps they are a bit sensitive . >> they might have good reason. bayern hash mark a royce in their sights. a year ago, they tempted a player. dortmund hopes to fill the gap he left. he cost 19 million euros. the club has invested heavily to try to beat byron -- bayern. winning the super cup again would be a good start. >> this clash is being watched closely in many

the united states and all the countries that fought in world war i had been bled to death. were not anxious to fight. even if the united states had been in, i don't think the united states a look would've voted to send troops anywhere. the league of nations was a playground for england and france. it was not truly a league of nations at all. if you look at mussolini invading ethiopia, he got slapped on hand. does a league of nations do anything when the japanese invaded china and 31 i-37? no. they put out a paper saying this probably should not have happened. i'm not a big fan of the league of nations. you can probably catch that. [laughter] the league of nations without armed forces was not going to make a difference. >> we have a question online. would there have been a hitler had the been no world war i? >> -- had there been no world war i? >> hitler was nothing in germany. again, it was a depression. when the depression hit, hitler took all the arguments against versailles, articles 231 and 232, germany started the war, therefore she must pay. it was economic troubles o

first of all, the united nations -- every country in the world, even the united states, regards israelccupying power in gaza. for a very simple reason. they control everything. they control the borders, the land, the sea, the air. they determine what goes into gaza and what comes out. they determine how many calories children need to stay alive. is occupation under international law. no one questions it outside of israel. even the u.s., the usual backer. that, we end the discussion of whether they are an occupying power or not. as for wanting peace -- look back at the so-called withdrawal. that left israel as the occupying power. by2005, israeli talks, led ariel sharon, recognized that this makes no sense for israel to keep a few thousand settlers in devastated gaza. that is a large part of the idf. the israeli military protected the breaking up of gaza into separate parts. it made no sense to do that. it made more sense to take the settlers from their subsidized settlements in gaza, where they were illegally presiding, and send them off to subsidized intlements in the west bank, areas

why did the united states win world war ii? well as not they won because brave soldiersed were able to go off and stand in harm's way and carry the fight to the enemy. they had the requisite number of guns and planes and tanks to apply force were needed. but there is another reason. with some exceptions, we were able to tap into the strategic communications of our adversaries and ga knowledge of their intentionsi,n and because of devices like sigaba when i try to do the same to us, they failed. and this was a major reason why the allies were able to be victorious during the conflict. this was the first of a two-part program from our visit to the national cryptologic ecm. you can watch this and other american artifex programs at any time by visiting our website. cspan.org/history. of the live coverage u.s. house on c-span and the on c-span3-span 2, we complement that covers by showing you the most relevant congressional hearings and public affairs events. on weekends, c-span 3 is the home to american history tv with programs tha

and the united states marine corps post world war i levels and the united states navy same level as 1917 and we have the smallest and oldest fleet for the united states air force and a marine still sitting in mexico. that is the back drop and the lies with regard to the va skal scandal. it shows a lot of bravado to go and address the american ledgion. >> he said bravado to show up there. they are a polite crowd. >> this it is something that president obama said he would do for a hong time. make a lean military. the wars have been winding down despite the violence in those areas. the official war of iraq and afghanistan no longer requires the manpower as it has under the wars under president bush. >> but we may have to ramp things up. we are looking at a crisis with isis. >> we heard president obama say no boots on the ground. he is reassuring they will not send more people and we will not be ramping up. >> we will talk about something else of a political nature. kay hagen, a democrat senator not polling so well and in fact she's speaking right now and not wanting to put herself in positi

>> it's not a group of republicans or democrats, they are experts in really world peace and whether the unitedtes is ready militarily to face our goal. that's why they were picked by the administration and congress to review our strategic plan. so they are experts in the field of military defense. >> they have no axe to grind, not a bunch of peace nicks or war mongers -- >> they are not that. just stepping back and trying to say what we have and whether we can achieve the objective. >> that's exactly what they do. >> congressman, thank you very much. i know you have to run back and vote. thank you for joining us. >> senator john mccain blasting senate majority leader harry reid, saying shame on you. find out why next. >> shame on you. >> shame on you. i say huh, fifteen minutes could save >> shame on you. i say you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know words really can hurt you? what...? jesse don't go! jesse...no! i'm sorry daisy, but i'm a loner. and a loner gotta be alone. heee yawww! geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.
