History

Elenna [48]1 year ago

The progressives adopted this strategy because they wanted the government to play a more active role in controlling large corporations. They also understood that the grip corrupt politicians and powerful corporations had on municipal and state governments needed to be shattered before significant reforms could be made.

<h3>What did the progressives do?</h3>

Most progressives acknowledged that giant businesses were a permanent and even valuable part of American economic life for more than a century, from the 1910s to the 1990s, and that they needed to be balanced with other forces, like unions, and occasionally regulated.

Reformers of the Progressive Era aimed to use the federal government's authority to end unethical and unfair economic practices, lessen corruption, and combat the unfavorable social repercussions of industrialisation.

In the United States, the early 20th century saw economic growth and progressive reform. The progressives, as they referred to themselves, worked to improve and secure American society. Through a variety of regulations, they attempted to make large corporations more responsible.

Hannibal occupied much of Italy for 15 years, but was unable to march on Rome. An enemy counter-invasion of North Africa forced him to return to Carthage, where he was decisively defeated by Scipio Africanus at the Battle of Zama. After the war, Hannibal successfully ran for the office of sufet.
