On March 11, 2011, a devastating 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit the island of Japan. This disaster also triggered many other horrific events including: a huge tsunami, fires that took out entire villages, and nuclear reactions reaching within 10 miles inland Japan. The death toll of this disaster has currently reached over ten thousand and over seventeen thousand have been reported missing. In a desperate attempt to reconstruct their country, Japan will need the help of the United States and many other countries to get back on track. Another life changing event in 1861, the Civil War, also needed the help of other countries to help reconstruct their country. Every bit of damage done during these events will have to be made up for with the help of the other countries. The Civil War and the disaster in Japan reconstructions have their similarities and differences.
You mention that the US needed help from others in 1861. I might be wrong, but I believe that the civil war reconstruction didn't happen until after the war which ended in 1865. Check it out and see if I'm right.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mr. Casey. That could be one of the differences! ;)
ReplyDeleteSo after the awful 9.0 earthquake, the big tsunmai, and blown nuclear reactors in Japan, it left them destroyed and in dire need for help. The civil war reconstruction we was similar to the Japan reconstruction, we are financially helping Japan after their tragedy just like most states helped out the north after they won the war in 1861. We are using billions of dollars to rebuild Japan after the horrid tsunami, giant earthquake, and terrible nuclear reactors that melted. The death count was in thousands so Japan really needs our help.
