History

Novay_Z [31]4 years ago
6 0
The World War II was a reminder for many blacks of the inequality of American society, and a black soldier said, "Just carve on my tombstone, "Here Lies a black man, killed fighting a yellow man for the protection of a white man." There were changes to America's economy as well during and after the war, and in particular, the war time boom. The biggest contributor to the victory in the WWII was industry, and industries that had been inactive were now "humming with activity". Many factories were converted make war vehicles; such as tanks and flamers, and the Willow Run Factory was able to produce one B-24 bomber every hour. The prosperity went all through America's society, and government spending rose dramatically from $9billion in 1940 to $98billion in 1944. Wages increased hugely all over the country from rich to poor. Also, big businesses, especially those involved in the defence industry, became much more powerful, and surprisingly, military spending remained between 8 and 20 percent of GNP in the 40 years after 1945.

The three elements of the painting the sacrifice of Isaac
Alja [10]

Answer:

On God's command, Abraham agrees to sacrifice his son Isaac. As Abraham raises the knife, an angel appears out of nowhere to halt the sacrifice. The complex expressions of father and son in this work combine grief, strength, resignation, fear, and realization in their faces and bodies, which are inspired by ancient sculpture and Michelangelo. Andrea del Sarto never completed this painting, which reveals his working methods. He transferred the design from a drawing to the panel, reinforcing the chalk with painted lines—most notably in the donkey on the far right. He then worked over the entire panel at once with thin, brushy veils of color, allowing him to change the composition as he painted—particularly in the angel, Isaac's body, and Abraham's head.

Question 1: Napoleon Bonaparte claimed to have put into practice the ideals of the French Revolution and the Enlightenment. Do y
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Question 1: Actually, he did not.  If he did export and spread the ideals of the Revolution, why did he appoint his brothers and other people to high points in government?  Apart from that, they held the position of kings and monarchs which is opposite to the ideals of the Revolution.  It should be that the people have the right to decide for themselves but they didn’t.  Instead, they lived in fear and rebelled against him.

Question 2: Both revolutions started rather moderately, with people demanding more representation in government. Neither gained the full support of everyone in the respective nations either, as evidenced by Loyalists in the US and counterrevolutions in areas like the Vendee in France. In France, the revolution became more radical and ideological, taking Enlightenment ideals and rationalism to the extreme. The revolution in France also led to the dictatorship of Napoleon and the restoration is Bourbon monarchs, so ultimately a return to the status quo, while the American Revolution was successful in gaining American independence. Furthermore, the French Revolution was fought in France while the American Revolution was fought in the colonies of England and never sought to completely depose George III, just remove his control of the colonies.
