C) Overthrew Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. 
 Suleiman the Magnificent was the 10th sultan of the Ottoman Empire and reigned from 1520 until his death in 1566.  
 A) Took on bold military campaigns that increased the amount of territory controlled by the Ottoman 
 * This is quite true. Suleiman engaged in campaigns in Europe, Persia, India, and Africa during his reign. So this is a bad choice. 
 B) Oversaw achievements of Ottoman civilization in the fields of law, literature, art, and architecture 
 * Also true. During his reign, he consolodated the judgements by the previous 9 sultans, eliminating duplications and conflicts. His resulting legal code then lasted for more than 300 years. He was also a patron of the arts, an accomplished poet, and sponsered a series of monumental architectural developments in his empire. So this is a bad choice. 
 C) Overthrew Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
 * False. Constantinople was overthrown in 1453 by the Ottoman empire and at the time of Suleiman's reign was the capital of the Ottoman empire. So this is the correct choice. 
 D) Adorned and modernized the cities of the Islamic world with mosques, bridges, aqueducts, and other public works
 * This choice is pretty much an extension of option "B" above. And as such is quite true. And therefore a bad choice.

What happened as a result of J.P. Morgan’s work in the financial industry
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

He saved the American Economy and led to the establishment of the Federal Reserve.

Explanation:

JP Morgan was a businessman with contacts and investments in many different industries. These contacts, and his wealth, allowed him to wield huge control over the financial industry. This resulted in two big events. Firstly, there was the Gold Crisis of 1895. The US Treasury nearly ran out of gold and Morgan persuaded the president to use an old law to buy gold off him (And the rockefellers). This stabalised the American Dollar and averted crisis. A similar thing happened in 1907. Major New York banks were on the verge of collapse and Morgan held a meeting at his mansion where he forced the New York finaciers to come up with a plan. This they diid and the federal government saved the banks. Morgan also used his controlling interest in US Steel to buy the stock of a competitor whos stock was casuing a brokerage firm to collapse. Despite the anti trust legislation he purchased the stock, This restored confidence in the banking system and ensured the crisis was over.

More importantly, the event made the government realise that they couldnt rely on there always being a wealthy indiividual like Morgan to save the day should there be another crisis. This lead to the creation of the Federal Reserve System in 1913. This was a joint effort of a team of banking and political leaders, led by Senator Nelson Aldrich.

1. After World War II, the U.S. and its Allies fought to contain the spread of __________.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

As World War II drew to a close, the alliance that had made the United States and the Soviet Union partners in their defeat of the Axis powers—Germany, Italy, and Japan—began to fall apart. Both sides realized that their visions for the future of Europe and the world were incompatible. Joseph Stalin, the premier of the Soviet Union, wished to retain hold of Eastern Europe and establish Communist, pro-Soviet governments there, in an effort to both expand Soviet influence and protect the Soviet Union from future invasions. He also sought to bring Communist revolution to Asia and to developing nations elsewhere in the world. The United States wanted to expand its influence as well by protecting or installing democratic governments throughout the world. It sought to combat the influence of the Soviet Union by forming alliances with Asian, African, and Latin American nations, and by helping these countries to establish or expand prosperous, free-market economies. The end of the war left the industrialized nations of Europe and Asia physically devastated and economically exhausted by years of invasion, battle, and bombardment. With Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and China reduced to shadows of their former selves, the United States and the Soviet Union emerged as the last two superpowers and quickly found themselves locked in a contest for military, economic, social, technological, and ideological supremacy.
