After 1969 year, a big war happened between America and Vietnam. In the war there were many soldiers wounded. In this picture, four American soldiers used the stretcher to carry a wounded soldier. They walked hard in the swampy area. And they all looked like very worried and sorrow. This is about the Vietnam War.

This picture made me cry, I can feel the friendship between the soldiers. They looked after each other. Even though in the most dangerous war, they also tried best to protect their friends

This is a picture that a nurse looked after a wounded soldier. The soldier was hurt seriously. He was crude in the hospital. This also is about the Vietnam War.

How nice the nurses were. Everyday they must look after thousands of the patients. But they never complained and tried their best to save the lives of the soldiers. They were very grate.

In the picture we can obviously see a beautiful American woman. She was a volunteer worker in the Red Cross. She worked very hard everyday at a good emotion. She hoped the war could be finished immediately. She didn’t want to see the miserable war again.

This was a grate woman I think. She used her action to help the soldiers and saver more lives in the world.

This picture recorded what the soldier did after the battle. Here were three soldiers they sat on the ground. The left one ate food. The middle one wrote something. The right one used the wood to touch the ground. He seemed to think about something.

This picture was full of the sorrow emotion. We can see they missed their family, especially the man who wrote something. Maybe he was writing to his family to tell his life. The right man seemed that he thought about something. Maybe his emotion was very bad and upset. The war made them became homeless.

In 1945, the United States possessed the monopoly on the new atomic bomb. The new weapon was very powerful which brought the ending of the War II. In 1949, along with the Soviet Union exploding the first atomic bomb, a big cold war appeared between the two superpowers. They had a very vehement arms race. During the race a large of nuclear weapons were invented. These became a big threat to our society if we couldn’t use them in good way, even destroyed our earth.

 In my opinion the atomic bomb’s appearing was symbol of the new times’ coming. It promoted people into the new times. Although it was a big threat to our society, if we could use it in a good way, it will bring a lot of advantages to the global development.
