The document summarizes and debunks various myths about alleged secret German and Allied activities in Antarctica during World War II and the postwar period. It discusses a real 1938-1939 German expedition to Antarctica but finds no evidence they established a permanent base. It also analyzes Operations Tabarin, Highjump, and nuclear tests in the region, finding they were not directed at attacking a German base as some claims suggest, but rather had other aims like military training or scientific study. While certain facts underpin the myths, when considering all available information the evidence shows the myths cannot be substantiated and are best seen as fanciful stories rather than historical fact.Hitlers Antartic Base

Technology like ASDIC, depth charges, hedgehog mortars, and aircraft helped the Allies detect and destroy German U-boats.

Commodore David Conner and his Home Squadron faced significant challenges in preparing for and executing the largest amphibious landing in history at Veracruz, Mexico in 1847. With limited support from Washington, Conner had to expand his squadron, secure necessary supplies of coal, food and water, and ready his fleet to transport and support General Winfield Scott's army of 14,000 troops. Through decisive action, the landing was achieved without loss of life on March 9th. However, Conner's poor health led to his being relieved by Commodore Matthew Perry, who then provided naval support during the successful siege and capture of Veracruz.Mesotheliomahelp org navy_ships_cruisers_baltimore-class-cruisers

It argues the U.S. must address any imbalance between the military objective to defend Taiwan and its ability to achieve that objective against China's A2/AD systems, such as by developing joint concepts like Air-Sea Battle to ensure freedom of movement in contested areas.Noelle lytle philippines kelman b2

The United States wanted to control Nicaragua because it had a canal used for transoceanic trade routes that could provide economic opportunities. In 1849, Nicaragua signed a treaty with the United States that gave it exclusive rights to a transit route across Nicaragua in exchange for protection from foreign intervention. When a revolt threatened American interests in 1912, U.S. Marines arrived and remained until 1925 to ensure no other power gained control over the important potential canal site.More from Mike Kelman (17)
