The correct answer is A) launching of Sputnik.
On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik into space. This satellite made by the Soviet Union was the first satellite that orbitted the Earth. The success of this satellite showed the technological superiority of the Soviet Union during this time, as America had not accomplished this feat yet. This is why the Soviet government used this as a means of propaganda, to show that the Soviet Union was more advanced than the United States.
The confederacy passed the conscription act because the army needed more people to serve in the army as the number of volunteers declines and the number of casualties increased.
Explanation
At the beginning of the civil war,both the confederate states and the union army did not use conscription but in the later years the war took a violent turn.People hesitated to join the army and the number of soldiers in the confederate army decreased visibly.
In order to avoid defeat in the war, the confederate army wanted more men to join it and they enacted the act of conscription which made it necessary for all white men between the age of 18 and 35 to serve in the confederate army if called.
