Teapot Dome

Teapot Dome

 

The teapot dome scandal was about a bribery incident that took place in the united states from 1920 to 1923 during the election of Warren G. Harding. Private companies would bribe governor fall to gain access to U.S navy oil this happened in two location and one was in California. Governor Fall was the first former cabinet officer to go to prison for what he did. Warren g. Harding had one hell of a time because not only was he already screwing up with a couple other incidents before and after but it made him look bad that someone in the government would break the law.

so french and Britain were trying to mobilize there fleets and Germany was readying theirs. Germany felt that a war was the only way to become a super power so that people woould see that they are strong. On top of this the Central powers held secret military talks getting ready for war and they
where ready for if one came.

As a result all European powers were ready for war by 1914.

Nationalism: Great Britain had great pride in there fleets but when Germany started undermining that pride with a fleet of there own it led to conflict build up between the two countries

letter home

Dear Mom
The front here in Paris is agonizing and it's just as hard for a medic as a soilder we see dead bodies all day every day and those who aren't dead bodies at first will be within the hour, soilders drop as the artillery bring fire upon the trenches and when we look over the trenches we have seconds before a sniper takes you out. Yesterday I was smacked against the trench wall due to a artillery shell exploding just above me suffered a small conccusion but had to get back on my feet to work with the wounded if not for my helmet I would have probably died, I can't wait to go home in a year I miss good cooked food and a warm bed, going to sleep without bombs going off would be comforting.
Two of my friends bet each other who could look over the trench the longest and they were both killed by snipers, tell dad I said hi and I sent something for Francis, an officers pistol, we got it from a German officer who commanded this trench before we took it back, keep the bullets on you though I don't want him shooting until I get back so I can teach him.




This is your sons company commander
