TOday the US Army will park National Mall in Washington DC to celebrate the 250th anniversary. This is also the 79th birthday of President Donald J Trump. As a commander, he will take the salute from a platform to view the Constitutional Avenue.
But this is not a vanity project, as certain critics are admitted. History is important to the 47th President of the US. One of Trump’s last acts before long left the White House on January 2021 Publish a report by his “1776 commission”, created by “restoration of the American founding size”. However, the Commissioners include some university historians because universities are often “hotbeds of anti-Americanism, and the wider culture of the least hate in this country”.
The 1776 commission asks for a return of true “patriotic education”, which we need to change the principles of Americans we have for these principles in our country we have been blessed with calling home. “
In this spirit, in 2 May this year, The President posted That he replied 8 May and 11 November every single “day of victory for the Second World War for World War” because we “begin to serve our victories! “
The parade of 14 June also intended to raise the curtain of an extraordinary celebration across the country of the country’s 250th anniversary and ended by 4 July 2026. According to The White House websiteOne side can series of video history “tells the extraordinary independence story of America. The events resulting in the most powerful empire in the world and establish the greatest republic.”
Parade history, in fact. As in constant case, Trump begins with a valid point. After he had witnessed Extravaganza In the day in Bastille in 2017, where French and American troops marched on champs-Élysées to celebrate the Centensary in the US War in the first parade of himself. So what is that? Should not be nations proud of their past?
OK (if you don’t mind the cost). But pride should be rooted in honesty, especially if NATO in Europe is involved in a proxy war in Ukraine against Vladimir Putin, a systematic formsifier in history. And if we try to be honest, the world’s wars don’t like the World Series in a country that motivates all others and winning near one hand.
Get the Second World War. In 3 May this year, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev Trump’s claims have been dismissed As “enthusiastic”, which declares that “day of victory is and it is 9 to be. So is it, so it’s always!” Medvedev is now an obedient Putinist, but he and other Russians who have taken their many losses in 1941-45 – almost 27 million people. Stated differently, in the three years from June 1941 to June 1944, Between Hitler’s Invasion of the Soviet Union and the D-Day Landings in Normandy, more than 90% of the German Army’s Battle Casualties) Were inflicted by the Red Army. Laid the alamein and Tunis, Anzio and the release of Rome in different perspectives.
Although Americans correctly say that they have a league of themselves as a “most powerful” – a word that is stared in 1944 to announce “great power and energy force”. Their large transport planes and the B-17 and B-24 bombers allow the US to fight around the world. Their modern fleets of the plane bearers, were built into the pearl’s port, the Pacific-motivated island in Japan himself. The Pacific war ended to firing the Tokyo and nuclear stop at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Or think the speed of the odd breakout from Normandy moving allied armies in 3 September 1945. If an odd 1945. If a strange Winston Bradacks he has never reached to Front Crucks to Front. Ford sent things.
But Britain also has an important part of victory. If our embandled islands like Scandinavia, France and the lower countries in 1940, Hitler would have turned to self and concentrated on the defense of the Western Hemisphere. However, a combination of Church leadership, modern warriors linked to the new home system of radar and courage in RAF pilots that have been able to maintain the Bay Bay. Eventually, Britain has become an important base of supply and launchpad for liberty Europeans in Europe.
And in 1944-45, Alkoy soldiers met Germany from the east, west and south. Of course, it is an unholy alliance, dedicated by the goal of divergent and values. But the formation of Nazism is a goal shared with all allies.
With this in mind, we will look at the most important US victory: Kalay. Yes, it is generally a tale of David V Goliath’s “a small rag-tagged army that defeats the most powerful empire in the world”. The US independence proves George Washington’s leadership and courage in his troops and strengthened his insulting in the Slovix epidemic). But it is also a world war While the British Empire fought against its global enemies. We often, in 1780s Britain lost the supremacy of Naval because (unusual) three opposite seapowers mixed against it: France, Spain and Dutch. It is blockade of French Fleet forcing Lord Cornwallis’s historic surrender to Yorktown in 1781 and British acceptance of individual Americans.
The purpose of historical research is to put contextual events, not to maximize national pride. The story of building the US, as Hitler’s defeat, reminds us that allies are important – in the past, today and future. That doesn’t have to be forgotten if history goes to the parade.
