History

mylen [45]3 years ago
5 0

Shays’ Rebellion further underlined to Washington and other American leaders the weakness of the Articles of Confederation. Although plans for a Constitutional Convention were already under way, the uprising in Massachusetts led to further calls for a stronger national government and influenced the ensuing debate in Philadelphia that led to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution in the summer of 1787.

According to Edward J. Larson, author of “The Return of George Washington,” the rebellion “haunted Washington” and was “perhaps an essential, final straw” in pulling him out of retirement to serve as president of the Constitutional Convention. “Regardless of their cause, the commotions sufficiently shocked Washington to set him on the road to Philadelphia,” Larson writes.

Why according to Stalin does the Soviet Union deserve to have neighbors who are loyal
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Stalin felt the Soviets Union needed the Eastern European nations as satellites to protect their own interests.   The fact that Nazi Germany had invaded Germany in World War II and millions of Soviet lives were lost provided Stalin's justification for loyal states along the Soviet border.

Historical context:

US president Franklin Roosevelt, British prime minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet premier Joseph Stalin, the leaders of the Allies in World War II, met at Yalta in February, 1945.  

Churchill in particular (along with Roosevelt) pushed strongly for Stalin to allow free elections to take place in the nations of Europe after the war. At that time Stalin agreed, but there was a strong feeling by the other leaders that he might renege on that promise. The Soviets never did allow those free elections to occur. Later, Winston Churchill wrote, ""Our hopeful assumptions were soon to be falsified." A line of countries in Eastern Europe came into line with the USSR and communism.  Churchill later would say an "iron curtain" had fallen between Western and Eastern Europe.
