History

xeze [42]1 year ago

The armed forces replicated patterns in the larger society in the 1940s.

For the most part, U.S. forces looked much like the civilian world. African Americans fought in segregated units. Women served in positions similar to their civilian jobs: as clerks, nurses, and communications operators.

<h3>How much does the US military relate to society?</h3>

The armed forces are a pillar of US power and influence around the world, deployed all over the world. However, many civilians are unaware of their composition. Women now account for 16% of the enlisted forces and 19% of the officer corps.

<h3>What percentage of the US population is in the military?</h3>

The active component of the military, excluding the coast guard, numbered 1.9 million men and women at the time, or about 1% of the population. There are currently about 1.3 million active-duty personnel, or less than half of one percent of the US population.

<h3>What role did the US military play in the Revolutionary War?</h3>

The U.S. Armed Forces have been crucial to American history since their inception during the American Revolutionary War. Their victories in the First and Second Barbary Wars contributed to the development of a sense of national identity.

After he gained control of the Roman Empire, Constantine moved the capital to
Elenna [48]

Correct answer:

<h2>Constantine moved the capital to Byzantium and renamed it Constantinople.</h2>

Additional details:

Constantine built his new capital city to resemble "Old Rome."  Constantine made his own capital city in monumental fashion, but wanted to give it also the prestige and aura of the Roman Empire. The building of Constantinople took several years, and Constantine modeled it after Rome, with government buildings designed in Roman style.

The existing city of Byzantium was the place Constantine built up and renamed after himself as Constantinople. (That's why the Eastern Roman Empire often is referred to as the Byzantine Empire.)

Today, Istanbul is the name of the city that was once Byzantium and then Constantinople.

Why was Washington against the formation of political parties and participation in political parties?
Advocard [28]

George Washington was against the formation of and participation in political parties because he truly believed in Unity.

From his perspective Unity, and not Division, was the key for a democratic republic to survive. He really thought that political parties would have negative effects because they would divide and destroy the United States.  

And that's the main reason why throughout his political life until his death, he was sure political parties were not needed because the country could and should function without them.
