The Yom Kippur War

The Yom Kippur War

By Josh

I think Israel should have launched a pre-emptive strike because Israel lost 2,500 troops because Israel did not launch a pre-emptive strike. If Israel had launched a pre-emptive strike then they would have lost much less troops. Golda Meir’s decision was wrong because the United States would have supplied Israel almost always.

Lake Chad

The segment I found most interesting was on Lake Chad. Lake Chad was the sixth largest lake in the world. I knew Lake Chad was in Chad but I did not know it was also located in Niger, Nigeria and Cameroon. Lake Chad which used to be the sixth largest lake is now one tenth of what it was 45 years ago. Since the water is disappearing, the inhabitants don't have enough water to water their crops and the fishermen are having a hard time catching fish.

There were many problems I noted, but several I found immensely intriguing. One of the major problems is that the people depend greatly on the water supply for everything. If the water disappears then the people will have no nourishment. There was a conflict between the fishermen and the crop owners.The fishermen wanted the water to stay so they could fish and the crop owners wanted the water for their crops. Another issue is climate change, if Africa has less carbon pollution then why is this happening?

What were the Challenges and Disagreements in the colonies leading up to the war?
    In my opinion the statement "Taxation without representation" is an untrue statement. I think this because Parliament has the right to tax the colonies because they own the land. Patrick Henry was accused of treason. Many colonists were shouting at Patrick Henry the word Treason because of his speech. He was not arrested for this.
