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!

In 1933, the U.S. Congress repealed the Prohibition laws that forbade the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol for c
Lesechka [4]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

No, the repeal of Prohibition did not cause severe dust storms in the Great Plains.

What happened in the Great Plains when severe drought followed the removal of native grasses was that strong winds blew away topsoil and created a Dust Bowl.

In the 1930s, the Great Plains lived difficult moments when severe dust storms hit this region of the United States. The dryness due to lack of water, the removal of native grasses, combined with climate conditions, produced these dust storms that killed animals and ruined the crops. There was no way to keep on farming the land and people had to move to the Pacific West, to California, where they had to start a new life.
