History
2 answers:
Bogdan [553]3 years ago
8 0

United States was drawn into World War I in April 1917. Although President Wilson made efforts to keep the country out of war, there were many factors that resulted in the American entry, such as:

  • the basic urge to support for the British and reluctance to support the Germans;
  • the atrocities that took place in Belgium in 1914;
  • the sinking of the <em>RMS Lusitania</em> in 1915, that carried peaceful Americans;
  • the political upheaval of Russia;
  • the weakening of Britain and France;
  • the German resolution not no warn passengers or crews before attacking them;
  • the German negotiations with Mexico.

What were the short term effects of the Lincoln-Douglas debates?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The short term effect is that the Southerners believed that Abraham Lincoln was an abolitionist and also felt betrayed by Stephen Douglas's suggestion that territories could refuse to grant slavery legal protection.

Explanation:

Lincoln-Douglas debates, series of seven debates between the Democratic senator Stephen Douglas and Lincoln Abraham.

Lincoln and Douglas were not simply campaigning for themselves but also for their respective political parties. The main focus of these debates was slavery and its influence on American politics and society—specifically the slave power, popular sovereignty, race equality, emancipation.

Lincoln, an obscure former state representative, argues that the nation would eventually encompass all slave states or all free states, and nothing in between. He cites the end of the Missouri Compromise and the Dred Scott decision as evidence that slavery is spreading into the Northern states.

Lincoln thought that the national government should ban slavery from expanding into new territories while Douglas thought popular sovereignty should decide whether the territories wanted slavery or not.

Which answer choice best explains the sudden rise in unemployment from 1918-1921?
Illusion [34]

Option A, The United States was in a period of demobilization after WWI.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The 1918-20 recessions were a severe deflationary contraction from 14 months after World War I. The depression was not only severe; the deflation was large compared to the subsequent downturn in the actual product, in the United States and in other nations.

After Armistice Day, short depression in the United States was accompanied by a rise in production. Nevertheless, the 1920 depression was also caused by the post-war changes, especially the demobilization of troops.

The reintegration of soldiers into the civilian labor force was one of the main changes. There were 2.9 million people working in the Military in 1918. This declined in 1919 to 1.5 million and in 1920 to 380,000.

It was 1920 when civilian labour rose by 1.6 million or 4.1 percent in one year, and the effects on the labor markets were most startling. (This is the highest one-year rise in labor force, although it is lower than the figures during the sub-World War II demobilization in 1946 and 1947)

One of the most significant differences between the articles of confederation and the constitution was
Inessa05 [86]

- gov't has no power to collect tax 
- to make amendment, vote of states had to be unanimous 
- no president (executive branch) 
- only one "house" in Congress (unicameral) 
- states could coin there own $ (so there were multiple currencies) 
- Congress had between 2 and 7 reps per state

U.S. Constitution: 
- Bill of Rights 
- gov't can collect tax 
- amendment needs 3/4 vote 
- has an executive branch 
- two houses in Congress (bicameral) 
- only U.S. gov't can coin $ (one currency for nation) 
- Congress has 2 senators per state and representatives depending on the size of the state's population 
- senators appointed, but representatives elected through popular vote</span>
