It was a oil-exporting nation and it lost too much of an important resource, thus crippling the economy.

The "Oil Glut" of the 1980s was a surplus of oil supply caused by the reduced demand due to the 1970s Energy Crisis. After reaching a historical peak of $35 in 1980, the price of the oil barrel would sharply fall from $27 to less than $10 in 1986 due to the excess in the offer. This would severely affect the economic wealth of the Oil producing countries, such as the Soviet Union. This event would be one of the main factors that contributed to an eventual fall of the Soviet regime and dissolution of the country in 1991.

Draw conclusions : Explain the evolution of the automobile. Where did Henry Ford become the leader in the automobile industry? C
sattari [20]

<u>Question 1:</u>

Henry Ford worked at a sawmill before moving to Detroit in 1891, where he was hired as an engineer for the Edison Illuminating Company. He was promoted to chief engineer only two years later. When not working at the company, Ford spent time working on a gasoline-powered horseless carriage (the automobile) in the shed behind his home. His "quadricycle" was completed in 1896.

Ford sold his prototype, and after receiving backing from several investors, he formed the Detroit Automobile Company (later the Henry Ford Company) in 1899. He left the company in 1902. The company became the Cadillac Motor Car Company and Ford established the new Ford Motor Company.

A month after this new company was established, the first Ford cars were assembled in Detroit. Model T made its debut in October 1908. As a result of the high demand, Ford put into practice techniques of mass production such as a moving assembly line and standarized parts. This allowed production to be faster and cars to be cheaper. It also allowed Ford to raise the wages of his workers.

<u>Question 2:</u>

Ford's production started in Detroit, and the success of the automobile industry caused an enormous population rise in the city. In 1927, Ford moved his production to a massive industrial complex built along the banks of the River Rouge in Dearborn, Michigan. To this day, the city of Detroit is strongly associated in people's minds with the automobile industry.

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

James Madison wrote Federalist paper No. 10, in which he described how a central government would avoid breaking down into factions. The purpose of the Federalist Papers in general was to convince anti-federalist states to ratify the Constitution.

Explanation:

Federalist No. 10 continues the discussion begun by Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 9. Hamilton had enunciated the destructive nature that facicious behavior could have in a republic, so Madison addresses the possible way to eliminate its negative effects. Madison defines the faction as "a number of citizens, who can be both a majority and a minority of the total, united in an action motivated by passions or interests contrary to the rights of other citizens or contrary to the permanent interests of the community". The author identifies the unequal distribution of wealth, generating the division into social classes within society, as the main cause of the faction.
