Joseph Raymond McCarthy was an American Republican senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 to 1957. During his ten years in the Senate, McCarthy and his team became famous for their research on people in the United States government and others suspected of being Soviet agents or sympathizers of communism infiltrated in the public administration or the army.

Senator McCarthy did not calculate his strength when he tried to investigate the armed forces in 1953. That same year, as chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Investigations, McCarthy continued his denunciations of communist activity and influence -which came to affect the President Eisenhower- and in April 1954 he accused the Defense Secretary of covering up foreign espionage activities. Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower decided to act against him. The awareness that this "witch hunt" endangered the essence of democracy also led the leaders of his own party to allow a motion of censure against him to flourish in 1954.

That same year, McCarthy lost the little prestige that was left to him when being transmitted in television the hearing of the senate against officers of the army by his presumed communist activity. His demagogic and brutal style was exposed.

He continued for another two years in his duties as senator, but his colleagues avoided him, and what happened weighed heavily on his mind and health. His biographers point out that, after the reprobation, he was never the same; Hospitalized at the Naval Hospital of Bethesda due to chronic alcoholism, he died at the age of 48, suffering from cirrhosis and hepatitis.

Which historical factor most influenced the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The collapse of the USSR was the process of systemic disintegration in the social structure, national economy, and political sphere of the Soviet Union, which led to the termination of its existence on December 26, 1991.  

The disintegration process began in the second half of the 1980s with the beginning of perestroika; manifested itself, in particular, in the desire of the Soviet republics for greater state and economic independence from the central government and ended with the signing of the Belovezhskaya agreements on December 8 and the Alma-Ata declaration on December 21, establishing a confederal union of former Soviet republics, the Commonwealth of Independent States and the adoption of the declaration on the termination of the existence of the USSR on December 26, 1991.

What are 5 notice and wonders about the poem at the Inauguration 2021
rewona [7]

Answer:

The loss we carry,

A sea we must wade.

We braved the belly of the beast;

We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace.

Notice: All interesting

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and conditions of man.

And so we lift our gaze not to what stands between us,

But what stands before us.

We close the divide, because we know to put our future first,

We must first put our differences aside.

We lay down our arms

So we can reach out our arms to one another.

We seek harm to none and harmony for all.

All confuzzling
