While the United States proclaimed itself as a neutral country in the beginning of the devastating first World War, many disagree with the statement that America wanted to remain neutral for various reasons. World War I began with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, then quickly escalated to division into two sides between European countries; including the Allied Powers, which consisted of Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and the Central Powers that included Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria. Since the United States made it obvious they favored the Allied Powers before they entered World War I, the other countries against these nations took this friendliness between the countries and America as a threat and interference of war.

Blackfish (2013) is an American documentary film directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite and produced by Manuel V. Oteyza. The documentary primarily concerns the controversy of captured Killer Whales at the theme park Sea World, primarily that of Tilikum, an Orca responsible for the deaths of 2010 SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau and two other individuals.

Fish was a very important staple in the European diet because “at that time Europe was predominantly Catholic and the church required people to abstain from eating meat [not including fish] during lent and on fast days.” This resulted in the need to find new fishing grounds to provide the supply of fish needed in Europe. The finding of the abundance of fish in the North Atlantic was an extremely important discovery during this time. Although the discovery of these fish was significant, it did not force nations such as Great Britain and the French to start their colonization of North America, as ships could be sent to fish and then return back home.
