History
1 answer:
Anika [276]3 years ago

The arrival of Europeans of the Old World to the New World brought forth a transatlantic trade referred to as the Columbian Exchange. This was a wide transfer of foods, livestock, disease, and culture in the 15th and 16th centuries that truly changed the course of human history. To the Old World came goods such as tomatoes, maize (corn), and turkey, while to the New World, cows, horses, and sugarcane were introduced (these are only some of the many exchanged goods of the Columbian Exchange).

However, what many scholars deem as the most important and devastating was disease. Native Americans (including Mesoamerican and South American inhabitants) had not been in contact with New World diseases such as smallpox, measles, cholera, malaria, or typhus. Epidemics wiped out entire civilizations and resulted in the genocides of an estimated 40-50 million.

On another note, Spanish conquistadors took over the pre-Columbian world. Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztecs while Francisco Pizarro subdued the Incas. Both were aided with advanced with guns and steel weapons, but mainly with disease. A third of the Aztecs died due to smallpox, and the Incans saw a 93% declination in their population

The revolution or civil war of Paraguay.
N76 [4]

Answer:

The Paraguayan Civil War (1922), took place between 27 May 1922 and 10 July 1923, within the borders of Paraguay. It started when supporters of candidate Adolfo Chirife attempted to forcefully restore the implementation of presidential elections canceled by President Eusebio Ayala. Chirife represented the so-called Constitutionalist or Schaererist side ideologically supporting liberal politician Eduardo Schaerer, while troops under Ayala were named Loyalists or Gondrists ideologically pledging allegiance to former President Manuel Gondra. The conflict concluded when Gondrist forces defeated the remnants of the Schaererist army in Asunción.

<h3>Answer: D) Overriding a veto</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

When both houses of Congress agree on a law, they send the final bill to the President for it to be signed into law. If the President doesn't agree, then s/he has the option to veto the bill. After this point, the Congress has the option to override the veto if 2/3 of both houses agree to override.

This means that:

  • At least 67 Senators must agree to the override (note how 2/3 of 100 is 66.67 approximately, so 67 is the smallest number that clears this threshold)
  • At least 290 House of Representative members must agree to the override. This figure is due to (2/3)*435 = 290. There are currently 435 house members.

Both of those conditions listed above must be met for a veto override to occur. This is extremely difficult and rare considering the polarizing political climate. On things that nearly everyone agrees about, the President would likely not veto the bill (since the President is likely to agree with the Congress on such issues), and a veto override wouldn't even need to be considered.

5. Adolf Hitler takes over ___________ as a totalitarian, fascist dictator.
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

5. Nazi Germany

On January 30, 1933, Hitler became Chancellor. A year later, he joined the functions of chancellor, president of the Republic and commander-in-chief. In doing so, he assumed all power and became the leader of Germany. When he came to power, Hitler, among other things, abolished trade unions and replaced them with the German Workers' Front and banned all political parties except his own. Property, the media and all cultural events came under Nazi control, thus making the life of the common man dependent on his loyalty to the new government.

6. Fascist Italy

Benito Mussolini formed the Fascist Party in 1919 in the hope that Italy would reach the size and power of Ancient Rome. He also founded the Fascist Militia, which consisted of armed detachments and liquidation teams that terrorized political opponents and increased fascist influence. Fascists' hallmarks were black shirts. Italy was in chaos and Mussolini gradually destroyed all democratic institutions. He declared that he alone could restore order and in 1925 declared himself dictator.

7. Soviet Union

After Vladimir Lenin's death in 1924, Stalin also intended to take control of the Soviet Union. Initially, he removed many of the party from power and exiled to Europe and America, including Lav Trotsky, the man who was supposed to take Lenin's place. The paranoia was spreading, and Stalin was pursuing his own terror, arresting people in the middle of the night and staging trials that looked more like performances.

8. Second Sino-Japanese war

After the conquest of Manchuria, the Japanese decided to invade Shanghai. After the fall of Shanghai, hundreds of thousands of refugees headed west, according to Nanking. Chinese soldiers also retreated with them. It took the Japanese army a month to cross 280 km and reach Nanking. The massacre that happened showed the real face of Japan.

9. Adolf Hitler, Versailles

Although this happened,  the Munich Agreement of the Four Great Powers, Germany, Britain, France and Italy was  signed officially by Hitler, Chamberlain, Mussolini and Dahlade, contained eight points on the solution of the so-called judicial question, and essentially amounted to the death sentence handed down to Czechoslovakia.

10. Appeasement

During the 30s France and Britain were doing this, believing that Germany will stop spreading its power, especially after the Munich Agreement. Still, it wasn't enough, as Germany and Adolf Hitler was just preparing himself for great invasions on Poland and other countries.

11. They weren't prepared to enter the war against Germany.

When Chamberlain signed the Munich Agreement he believed that Hitler's needs are satisfied and that he will stop spreading his power. Even then Churchill said that this was a wrong move, because it will give Germany wings to continue its path. The war was inevitable, according to him.

12. isolationism

Although United States participated in WW1, after the war ended they decided to move themselves from the things that were happening then. Monroe's Doctrine established in 19th Century once more became a main point in United States foreign affairs.

13. Third Reich

The Third Reich is a frequent name for the fascist German state between 1933 and 1945. This is the period in which the chancellor of Germany was Adolf Hitler. Namely, it was the "third" German state, beginning in 1933, when the constitution and functioning of the entire state were changed.

15.Non Aggression Pact

The USSR concluded an agreement with Nazi Germany in 1939 after Western powers refused to sign a mutual aid agreement with them. Soviet Union provided peace to the country for the next year and a half and provided an opportunity to prepare his forces for resistance, as Soviet authorities realized that they could count only on their forces. Agreement was signed between Molotov and Ribbentrop.

16. blitzkrieg

Blitzkrieg is a popular term for operational military doctrine that envisages the use of mobile attacking forces using speed and surprise to prevent the enemy from establishing a coherent defense in a timely manner. Military doctrines based on blitzkrieg theory were developed after World War I as a method of avoiding positional trench fighting in future conflicts.

18. Nazi Germany.

Britain and France declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939, but did not send troops to Poland. France capitulated on June 22, 1940. Its northern part was put under German occupation, several ports in southern France were obtained by Italy and the remainder were controlled by the Vichy-based government, led by Marshal Petain, a German associate.

20. Axis

In September 1940, Germany, Italy and Japan signed a document on cooperation and mutual assistance - the Tripartite Pact. The Pact was soon joined by Hungary, Romania and Slovakia, and next year by Bulgaria. According to agreement, this countries divided their area of influence.
