1 answer:

6 0

Starting with the creation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire everything was practically doomed to collapse, really. The Hungarians were the only group truly recognized by Austria, but there were plenty others that wanted a say in the government that ruled over them, like the Serbs. Though Serbia became independent from Turkey in the 1890's, most Serbians actually lived in territories claimed by the Austrians! When the Serbs living in Bosnia realized that the Austrian government was not concerned with how they felt about things, they decided to create a fanatical underground resistance movement financed by the Serbian government which lasted several years. Finally, in 1914 a Serbian nationalist named Gavrilo Princip shot and killed the Austrian archduke, which started WW1. So the answer to your question is that the desire for national independence led to fanatical resistance movements which ultimately began World War One.

In this unit, you learned about the development of the U.S. government, including the basic ideals on which the nation was found

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

1. The US government is based on ideas of limited government, including natural rights, popular sovereignty, republicanism, and social contract. Limited government is the belief that the government should have certain restrictions in order to protect the individual rights and civil liberties of citizens.

2. The Constitution diluted power even more by creating a federal form of government. In this way power and authority would be shared between central, state and local governments.

3. I see these ideas reflected in the nation today because they still are applied to the constitution.

4. Yes I do think that the government lives up to the democratic ideas supported by the founders because democracy is still in the U.S to this day.

Why did plans for the mobilization of european armies in 1914 have to be so vast and complex?

Shtirlitz [24]

That's because they were preparing for the biggest war in human history. This was the policy of militarism where building up a military was necessary to ensure that the people could fight against others. The number of soldiers in European armies increased twice in size in only 20 years between the 1890s and 1910s.

Which form of severe weather is depicted in the image above?

Vlad1618 [11]

<u>Answer:</u> "Tornado" is a form of severe weather depicted in the given image.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A tornado is a rapidly spinning mass of air reaching down to the ground from the center of a thunderstorm. Tornadoes can completely destroy well-made buildings, uproot trees and hurl objects like lethal missiles through the air. Several types of tornadoes include multiple vortex tornado, landspout, and waterspout.

Tornadoes occurs very often in North America (especially in central and southeastern regions of the United States known as tornado alleys), southeastern South America, Southern Africa, Northwestern and Southeastern Europe, Bangladesh and adjacent eastern India, Western and Southeastern Australia and New Zealand.

Tornadoes can be detected before or as they occur with the help of Pulse-Doppler radar by recognizing patterns in data on velocity and reflectivity like hook echoes or debris balls, also by storm spotter effort.
