The Berlin conference was convened to divide the land of Africa among the European nations.
Its crackling roots blazed and hissed as a blacksmith plunges a glowing ax or adze in an ice-cold bath and the metal screeches steam and its temper hardens that's the iron's strength - so the eye of Cyclops sizzled round that stake
Answer:
During times of economic prosperity, some nations borrowed more money than they can pay back now in times of economic hardship.
Explanation:
In the 2000s, Europe went through a financial crisis that was mainly due to fiscal problems. In periods of bonanza, before the crisis, some countries, among them Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain, spent more money than they were able to collect with taxes. To finance themselves, these countries started to accumulate debts. This caused a serious crisis in the Eurozone, which was almost extinct. A recovery program of austere nature was implemented with the International Monetary Fund, causing many conflicts between the population and the Government, mainly in Greece. At present the situation is better, but Europe has not yet fully recovered, embittering low economic growth rates.
Answer:
B) Unions are working toward helping workers attain a better life.
Explanation:
In this quote by Samuel Gompers, the main idea is that labor unions are working towards securing better working conditions, living conditions for the workers. This quote has become more significant for its strong resilience and demand, not only for a specific group of people but for the whole working class, including children and mothers.
The post-war condition of the working class as such that there seems no possibility of attaining any solution or a better future. The labor union used this issue to make their demands for social reforms, asking for nothing great but rather<em> "more schools ... more books..."</em> and so on. They did not ask for better working conditions or an increase in their wages but rather a change in the way their children are brought up, asking for more opportunities to be educated and fewer chances of crime, revenge, etc. What the union wants is <em>"to make manhood nobler, womanhood more beautiful and childhood more happy and bright"</em>. They want what is expected of in modern society, and demands that they are given the same chance to better themselves.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
