Answer:

the detonation of a bomb on Russian soil.

In 1949, the Americans were astonished to see that the U.S.S.R. had detonated their own atomic bomb (as a test) on their grounds. It had been only 4 years since the detonation of the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and they considered it could not be sufficient time to develop the atomic bomb by themselves. Suspicion of espionage was their main option. Time proved them right. Nearly a dozen Soviet spies were convicted of passing information to the Soviets during this period about the atomic bomb in what was called the "Manhattan Project", the most famous spy being Emil Julius Klaus Fuchs. After this experience, the United States began to invest a large quantity of money in protecting their secret projects and fighting espionage.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

The legislative branch makes laws, but the judicial branch can declare those laws unconstitutional.

The executive branch, through the Federal agencies, has responsibility for day-to-day enforcement and administration of Federal laws. These Federal departments and agencies have missions and responsibilities that vary widely, from environmental protection to protecting the Nation’s borders.

The President in the executive branch can veto a law, but the legislative branch can override that veto with enough votes.

The legislative branch has the power to approve Presidential nominations, control the budget, and can impeach the President and remove him or her from office.

The executive branch can declare Executive Orders, which are like proclamations that carry the force of law, but the judicial branch can declare those acts unconstitutional.

The judicial branch interprets laws, but the President nominates Supreme Court justices, court of appeals judges, and district court judges who make the evaluations.

The judicial branch interprets laws, but the Senate in the legislative branch confirms the President’s nominations for judicial positions, and Congress can impeach any of those judges and remove them from office.

suter [353]

<u>Churcill pronounced those words as part of an speech in the Munich Confederence, also known as Munich Betrayal, that took place in 1938.</u>

After intense negotiations, leaders from France and UK allowed nazi Germany to annex the region called "Sudetenland" in Czechoslovakia, by not sending any troops there. Morover, the French-Czechoslovak alliance was dishonoured.

Hitler had already started his policy of "Living Space", which aimed to gain the territories that the supreme German race deserved, according to his Nazi ideology. He had gained control over territories without opposition, and Sudetenland was just another one. This is why Churchill said that Hitler got “them served to him course by course”.
