The Muckrakers were a group of journalists and writers that provided an important spark and ignited the Progressive movement. They were interested in exposing the problems in American society and urged the public to identify solutions.
They helped initiate the Progressive Era by analyzing if those bad conditions were linked to corrupt politics, poor working conditions in factories, bad living conditions of the working class and others.
They sparkled this analysis into people who read the newspapers and that wanted to change for their lives and because of that, an agenda was created.
Populism rise to promote democratization and to have a government for the people. In Brazil, populism was used by their President Getulio Vargas to be in his place. In Argentina, the government used populism to increase wages but resulted in inflation because of instability to sustain economic reforms to people.

When the war ended, the two super powers had two very different ideas of how Europe should be reconstructed.
Tea was not only used as a beverage but also for medicinal purposes, paper and printing allowed for record keeping and communication, gunpowder was used as a propellant in firearms and explosives during warfare, and the compass allowed people to navigate on journeys.
<span>How did the Russians defeat both Hitler and Napoleon?
</span>
<span>First
off, they started pretty well. When the Germans first invaded, the
people thought they were being liberated (tells you a lot about the
government at the time) and were treated pretty well. But then they
started killing people and things went downhill. Now, Hitler had this
grand idea to take over Stalingrad (mostly for its namesake, Stalin). He
thought it would be a massive blow to the Russian morale. But instead
of basing his military strageties on logic, he did on feelings (he
wanted to beat Stalin); which is never a good thing. Unforunately, he
didn't anticipate Russian winter (which, luckily for the Russians, came
early that year and ironically the same year for Napoleon). So the
German army was stuck in Summer gear, rather then the proper Winter gear
(which was promised but never came through). AND look at Russia as a
whole: It's a huge country (I heard it takes around 8-10 days to just
get through Russia straight across). Now, to the other guy above me.
Russia isn't known for having the strongest armies ever. Actually,
compared to the Germans they were undisclipined, untrained and from all
types of backgrounds, and all ages, etc. Hardly sounds like an ideal
army. But the Russian people were stubborn and burned everything, so in
that way the German army failed. Plus, Russia had an endless supply of
men. Hitler was shocked to notice, there was always a fresh supply of
men waiting to fight.
So in conclusion, Russia's massive land(s) and brutal winters
contributed to both the fails of Napoleon and Hitler's conquer of
Russia. </span>
