A Splendid Little War

    

I think that newspapers and televisons do create wars. Sometimes the newspaper exaggerates the situations and
therfore problems start to grow. Other times , newspapers and televisions don't really start wars , sometimes its the people's reaction on what they hear.


     If I ever lived un Europe I dont think that i would be convinced the the U.S. became a great world power by defeating Spain . There are many reasons for my opinion . One reason of why i wouldnt be convinced would be beacuse Spain used to be a powerful country and the United States took over.
