History
1 answer:
AysviL [449]3 years ago
3 0


It was in a bid to control the Russian population under the excuse that it was a  measure that would prevent Russian state secretes from being leaked abroad.

A colonel from the Federal Security Service  (FSB) of the Russian Federation by the name of Alexander Poteyev had earlier defected to the U.S. and revealed identities of a network of Russian spies in U.S. and Britain. After this, no FSB employee was allowed out of the country unless they required urgent medical attention that was not available in Russia at the time.

This exit ban was also extended to ordinary Russian citizens with the exception of highly skilled professionals who were allowed to leave the country to work on projects abroad.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer: The December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was caused by an earthquake that is thought to have had the energy of 23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs. ... Within hours of the earthquake, killer waves radiating from the epicenter slammed into the coastlines of 11 countries, damaging countries from east Africa to Thailand.

The high of the wave in 2004 tsunami was 100 feet

Explanation: For an earthquake-generated tsunami, the wavelength generally reaches a few hundred kilometres if the concerned fault is long. For the 2004 Sumatra earthquake, the wavelength is estimated, from the first wave measured by the Jason-1 satellite altimeter, as around 500–600 km (Gower 2005).

What was the purpose of the roosevelt corollary ?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

D. to discourage European nations from colonizing Latin america

Explanation:

Roosevelt's Corollary (Conclusion) to the Monroe Doctrine: The US will intervene in conflicts between European and Latin American countries, will not allow Europeans to do so directly.

 Roosevelt, who is regarded as a classic imperialist among American presidents, gave more weight to the pursuit of interest than to his commitment to the mission. Symptomatic of this view is its corollary, with the Monroe Doctrine of 1904, which threatens intervention where political movements threaten the obligation to repay debt to the United States, because they, as an "international rebel force," have an obligation to "prevent" any delinquent behavior ”. At the same time, Roosevelt pursued a policy of equilibrium in the Pacific, which aimed to give the American aspiration for dominance adequate prominence.
