What is a "hyphenated American", and are there other hyphenated nationalities?

A hyphenated American was an epithet commonly used from 1890-1920 to disparage Americans who were of foreign birth or origin, and who displayed allegiance to a foreign country. Commonly used to disparage German Americans or Irish Americans. On the Wikipedia link, it also shows other hyphenated nationalities.

There is also Afro-Puerto Rican and Ibero-Boricua. Not sure if that's what you mean by hyphenated nationalities though. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
