History

Although the Battle of New Orleans took place 2 weeks after the War of 1812 officially ended, it was still a significant victory for the United States with long lasting implications.

December 26, 1991, is a date most Americans pass over without notice. There was no parade, no surrender ceremony, no moment that felt like a clean victory. And yet that was the day the Cold War officially ended, marked by the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the quiet conclusion of a conflict that shaped nearly half a century of American life.
