dybincka [34]3 years ago
3 0

During World War II, Doctor Wernher von Braun was the director of the successful military guided-rocket program, which produced the V-2 rockets used to bomb Britain from bases located in Northern Europe. At the end of the war, he was one of a number of German scientists captured by the U.S. Army invited to help with different military and civilian projects taking advantage of their advanced scientific know-how.

In 1855, Wernher von Braun naturalized as U.S. citizen in order to be allowed to join NASA and directed the projects that produced the Redstone rockets for the Mercury project (used in one-maned orbital flights) and the more famous Saturn rockets for the Apollo project that took U.S. astronauts to the Moon.

which weakness made our first attempt with a government so unsuccessful, lasting for only 12 years (1777 – 1789)? Explain why. (
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The Confederation government could not handle post-war debts and economic depression.

Explanation:

Because there was great fear among the American people about having a strong central government, they decided to run a confederacy and make the central government as weak as possible.

However, this decision came back to haunt them when there was a rebellion by the people in 1786 after the Confederation could not settle the debts they owed to European countries and the central government could not raise enough money to muster troops that will quell the rebellion.
