You can't explain behavior by merely focusing on internal characteristics of a person such as being sadistic and cruel. Such behaviors were not exactly predisposition. They were heavily influenced by external factors like commands from a legitimate power such as Adolf Hitler. The Milgram experiment was actually inspired by the harsh acts of Germans during the WWII. People can actually go to extreme lengths, even if such acts are an attack of one's personal conscience, since they believe the legitimacy of a higher power, consequently making their actions legal or morally right even when it is not.

What caused the great waves of immigration from Europe to the United States in the mid-1840's?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

the influence of Karl Marx

Explanation:

Early immigration (1700s–1850): Immigrants from western and northern Europe arrived in great numbers for economic, political, and religious reasons. Germans and Irish, in particular, came to the United States in the 1830s and 1840s. European settlers imported millions of African slaves as well. Most Southern European immigrants were motivated by economic opportunity in the United States, while Eastern Europeans (primarily Jews) fled religious persecution. The United States experienced major waves of immigration during the colonial era, the first part of the 19th century and from the 1880s to 1920. Many immigrants came to America seeking greater economic opportunity, while some, such as the Pilgrims in the early 1600s, arrived in search of religious freedom.

Capitulate mean to stand firm <br> True or false
Svetradugi [14.3K]

To capitulate means to finally agree to do something you did not want to do in the first place. Usually, that agreement comes after consulting with other team members.

An army can capitulate to another army in a conflict when it cannot longer have any chance to defeat its opponent.  

The answer to the question is false because, to capitulate or surrender means exactly the opposite to stand firm. Sometimes, you can capitulate under certain conditions or terms, which can be negotiated and in other times, you can capitulate or surrender completely outright.

  After the United Sates lunched two atomic bombs in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, The Japanese surrendered to the United states unconditionally. In other words, they capitulated thus avoiding any more lost of life.
