As the Cold War unfolded in the decade and a half after World War II, the United States experienced phenomenal economic growth. The war brought the return of prosperity, and in the postwar period the United States consolidated its position as the world's richest country. Gross national product, a measure of all goods and services produced in the United States, jumped from about $200 thousand-million in 1940 to $300 thousand-million in 1950 to more than $500 thousand-million in 1960. More and more Americans now considered themselves part of the middle class.
The growth had different sources. The automobile industry was partially responsible, as the number of automobiles produced annually quadrupled between 1946 and 1955. A housing boom, stimulated in part by easily affordable mortgages for returning servicemen, fueled the expansion. The rise in defense spending as the Cold War escalated also played a part.
Early civilizations were ancient and did not
have great technologies and the knowledge and help the early colonists of the
Americas got from the Europeans.
Here
are plenty of reasons that could justify referring to these civilizations as
distinct from other peoples. What really distinguishes the Aztecs, the Mayans,
the Apachee tribes and others, from the rest of the world, is that they were
confined within an area that kept them from interacting with the Europeans, the
Asians, and the Africans, and thus spreading their culture there. That led to
the isolation of the people in the Americas, resulting to their civilizations
being seemingly 'prehistoric'. What I mean by that is that they couldn't have
access to materials that would in turn allow them to use more advanced
technology. While they did have plenty of chocolate, there are other things
that they definitely lacked, and as such we can see that their weapons were
inadequate, and in comparison to those of the Europeans, they were petty. It's
also noteworthy that there were no longer horses in the Americas, seeing as
they had all died out. The first horse that arrived in the continent, after a
long time, belonged to the Spanish armada. This is the most significant reason
as to how the civilizations in America were different than those in the rest of
the world. While I can name other reasons, such as distinctly different
architecture, different cuisine, way of life, etc., these are not as noteworthy
as the previous reasons that I named.

Answer: B - Sparta
Explanation:
Houses in the life of the ancient Greeks never occupied a special place. The house was primarily a place where the Greeks slept, so in that context, not much was invested in the luxury.
The Greeks spent most of their time outside, in the markets, at farms, so they returned home in the evening to sleep. The private dwellings of the ancient Greeks were very modest.
Answer:
Because it lacked effect
Explanation:
The fairest criticism of the Proclamation is that it did not actually do what people today give it credit for...it did not free all enslaved people. So, critics saw that and fairly criticized it.
