On this day in 1803 – Louisiana Purchase: The United States purchases the Louisiana Territory from France for $15 million, more than doubling the size of the young nation. Since France only controlled a small fraction of this area, most of which was inhabited by Native Americans; effectively, for the majority of the area, the United States bought the "preemptive" right to obtain "Indian" lands by treaty or by conquest, to the exclusion of other colonial powers.

September 14th: General Scott's Forces Capture Mexico City On September 14th in Texas history, a significant event occurred in 1847 during the Mexican-American War. General Winfield Scott’s forces captured Mexico City on this day. This victory was crucial as it led to the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in February 1848, which formally ended the war. The treaty recognized Texas as part of the United States and extended the U.S. boundaries to the Pacific Ocean. #ThisDayInTexasHistory #TexasHistory #OnThisDay #TexasHeritage #TexasPride #HistoryOfTexas #TexasEvents #HistoricalTexas #TexasEducation #KnowYourHistory #TodayInHistory #TexasPast #HistoricTexas #LearnTexas #TexasTimeline #TexanHeritage #SouthwesternHistory #FamousTexans #TexasMemories #thedaughtreylawfirm #realestatelaw #mineral rights #probate #estateplanning #houstontexas #htown #learningmoment

"Why is the United States so big? Well, the US got most of it´s land after it´s independence in 1776. At first, it didn´t look quite right, so they decided to change things up. They made a deal with France, know as the Louisiana purchase in 1803 for $15 million, which doubled the size of the country. Next, they acquired Florida from Spain in 1819, through the Adams Honest Treaty. Texas was their next target as it was independent. So the US annex, did in 1845 leading to the Mexican American War. Then, there was a treaty with the UK called the Oregon Treaty. That was signed on june 15th, 1846, which resolved the Oregon boundary dispute, by dividing the territory along the 49th parallel. They also fought with Mexico and gained California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1948. Bringing it back home, Alaska was very important for it´s resources and Russia sold it to the USA for only $7.2 million in 1867. A deal often referred to as sewards folly. By the way, Russia, still regrets this decision. Lastly, they decided to annex the Hawaiian Kingdom on january 16th, 1893. The US also expanded it´s influence through various territories and protectorates, further increasing it´s size and global presence." Fonte: somethingblackmade @projetomemoria #projetomemoria

Dayton Peace Accords Expert | Oral and Diplomatic Historian | US Foreign Policy and National Security Analyst
In an amazing book "The Back Channel: A Memoir of American Diplomacy and the Case for its Renewal," Bill Burns makes a convincing argument about the American position in the World and the role US Diplomats/Diplomacy should play in the 21st Century. Inspired by the book's argument, in my short opinion piece below, I look at the American intervention in the Balkans in the 1990s and make a case that it is time to "restore America's tool of first resort" (diplomacy). As President Biden often reminds us, “We are the United States of America and there is nothing, nothing beyond our capacity." https://lnkd.in/dCxV54Za

𝗢𝗶𝗹 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗮𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 - 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟭𝟮 𝟭𝟵𝟰𝟯 - 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁. As the United Kingdom fought for its survival during World War II, a team of American oil drillers, derrickhands, roustabouts, and motormen secretly boarded the converted troopship HMS Queen Elizabeth in March 1943. Once their story was revealed years later, they would become known as the Roughnecks of Sherwood Forest. By the summer of 1942, the situation was desperate. The future of Great Britain — and the outcome of World War II — depended on the supply of petroleum. At the end of that year, demand for 100-octane fuel had grown to more than 150,000 barrels every day — and German U-boats ruled the Atlantic. British Secretary of Petroleum, Geoffrey Lloyd in August 1942 called for an emergency meeting of his country’s Oil Control Board to assess the “impending crisis in oil.” The United Kingdom’s desperate situation would lead to the “little-known, or at least seldom recognized, all-important role oil and oilmen played in the prosecution of the war,” according to two historians who extensively researched war archives there and the United States. #oilandgas #history #oilandgasindustry #oilandgasexploration

We are being dragged into a near-inevitable nuclear war with Russia. In fact, Russia has already stated that it will use nuclear power the moment that Ukraine joins NATO. Moreover, as per NATO's an-aggression-on-one-is-an-aggression-on-all Article 5, ALL NATO signatories will be automatically forced to defend Ukraine (yes, with boots on the ground), escalating this conflict irreversibly. Meanwhile, some of us are clapping and cheering, others are worried but we all have 1 thing in common: we have been brainwashed into thinking Putin's aggression on Ukraine is "unprovoked" and "unjustified". I invite you to watch this 2-hour interview/masterclass/history lesson with Economist and Professor Jeffrey Sachs and see why we should demand more of our representatives. Our security and the security of our children is at risk at this point and there is only one way of defusing this situation. Disclaimer: Being against Ukraine joining NATO does not make me an advocate for Putin. There are many things I don't agree about Putin such as his anti-democratic stance and alleged Human Rights abuse of domestic deflectors and opposers. https://lnkd.in/dz58E3u9

If we want to understand why we are risking World War 3 in Ukraine, it might be a good idea to do the usual. Follow the money: 1. Hunter Biden (Dem) extracted wealth for the Biden family from Ukrainian resources (gas...) https://lnkd.in/dqi4ZdAc 2. In a recent interview Lindsay Graham (Rep) explains why Ukraine is important. Spoiler: resources might play a role... (ignore the journalists, just listen to the 2min talk of Graham) https://lnkd.in/dQFik99E 3. Military industrial complex in the US: https://lnkd.in/d_xzzyuA

Are today’s Australian and PNG generation aware of the Battle for Australia commeration each year? Show respect every year and reflect on how would we be living today if the Allied forces lost the war in Europe and the Pacific during WW2. Here is an article on how the Commeration of the Battle for Australia came about. “A Battle for Australia Commemoration in the first week of September of each year is supported by the Commonwealth Government and major national ex-service organisations. The focus of the commemoration is the Japanese military attack on Australia in 1942, and the bloody struggle to resist that attack and expel Japanese troops from Australian territory. This time of great peril for Australia now takes its place in our national history as the Battle for Australia. The Victorian Branch of the RSL initiated the concept of a national Battle for Australia Commemoration” Click on the link to learn more. https://lnkd.in/gNDKWyz2 #battleforaustraliacommeration

In the annals of maritime history, the Basilisk Passage at coordinates 9°32'10"S, 147°7'50"E emerges not only as a geographical point but as a narrative woven with tales of resilience and strategic significance. During World War II, it bore witness to the protective gaze of four-inch naval guns on Paga Hill and the road to Idler's Bay. Fast forward to the present, and the Basilisk Passage faces a new chapter, one marked by the challenges posed by its narrow confines. As plans unfold for updates in Port Facilities, a crucial aspect comes to light—the need to widen the passage. An anecdote from recent times adds depth to this narrative. Attempting to navigate the Basilisk Passage with a larger vessel—a formidable LNG Carrier boasting a Gross Registered Tonnage (GRT) of 114,000 and a Length Overall (LOA) of approximately 300 meters—revealed the inherent risks. The passage, once a safeguarded haven, now posed a significant challenge, forcing a reluctant retreat from the ambitious plan due to the narrowed passage after the breakwaters. This episode underscores the urgency of addressing the narrowness of the Basilisk Passage. The abortive attempt to bring in a sizable LNG Carrier serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting not just the current limitations but the immense potential awaiting untapped behind those constricted waters. By incorporating this real-life account, we shed light on the practical implications of the passage's limitations. It emphasizes that the call for widening isn't merely theoretical but a necessity grounded in the lived experiences of those navigating the seas of progress. The Basilisk Passage, with its historical weight and contemporary challenges, beckons for thoughtful development—expanding its horizons for the vessels of today and tomorrow. #shippingindustry #MaritimeIndustry #papuanewguinea #Basiliskpassage #portmoresby
