Political corruption

Government jobs were being given out based on favors and deals for votes. Unqualified people were working in government jobs and often the corrupt deals led to more corruption. 

The bosses and the system created by the bosses were the source of much of the corruption. City bosses gained votes for a political party in return for government jobs under the party's administration. Government jobs were good paying and were circling in the same groups of people.

Which late 1940s event prompted the United States to take steps to protect itself from Soviet espionage?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: The detonation of a bomb on Russian soil.

Explanation:

The correct answer is the detonation of a bomb on Russian soil because,

In 1949, the Americans were astonished to see that the U.S.S.R. had detonated their own atomic bomb (as a test) in their grounds. It had been only 4 years since the detonation of the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and they considered it could not be sufficient time to develop the atomic bomb by themselves. Suspicion of espionage was their main option. Time proved them right. Nearly a dozen Soviet spies were convicted of passing information to the Soviets during this period about the atomic bomb in what was called the "Manhattan Project", the most famous spy being Emil Julius Klaus Fuchs. After this experience, the United States began to invest a large quantity of money in protecting their secret projects and fighting espionage. I remember taking a test on this. I proof read my answers as well, Trust me, this is the right answer!
