it was a mistake for the United States to make an alliance with the Soviet totalitarian communist union during World War II

History

I'll assume that's a thesis statement meant for argument or debate.  An argument could be made on either side, depending on your point of view.  

  • On the one hand, the United States and the Soviet Union had dramatically different worldviews.  The US system of democracy and capitalism was at odds with the USSR system of totalitarian rule and communist collectivism.  The two nations were allied only for the sake of defeating Germany and Japan in the Second World War, and were in opposition to each other in about every other way.  Following the war, they became bitter opponents in the Cold War.
  • On the other hand, the USA and the other Allies in World War II needed the help of the Soviet Union in order to defeat the combined threat of Germany and Japan.  The USSR suffered millions of casualties due to the war -- more than any other nation.  They bore the brunt of the fighting against Germany, even before the US entered the war.  And President Roosevelt, while not in agreement with the governing philosophy of Joseph Stalin, still thought he was someone that could be worked with cooperatively.   (When President Truman took over after Roosevelt's death, he did not share that same view of Stalin and the USSR.)

So the matter can be argued from both sides.  Pick your side and write a strong essay!

Answer:

- There are more single-parent families.

Explanation:

In the United States, the recent demographic style display that there has been a significant rise in the number of 'single-parent families' <u>due to an increased rate of divorces and decisions of the non-marital bearing of the child</u>. While the diversity amongst the population has increased due to the modern and broad mindset that allows the groups to settle down themselves in the US.

These trends also display that the <u>average age of the individual is increasing day by day due to awareness among people towards family-planning causing a reduction in the birth rate while the life expectancy rate has significantly increased</u> due to the development of hi-tech medical and healthcare facilities.

How did the railroads react to state governments’ legislation during the Gilded Age?
nataly862011 [7]
Railroads approved greatly of the state governments' legislation during the gilded age. For example, one of the biggest pieces of legislation regarded the rules surround eminent domain. This essentially meant that anyone was able to get private ownership of any land for as little money as possible. This meant that the railroads were able to build and develop on land that they had got either for free, or that they had paid very little for.
