After World War I, Germany was defeated. The peace agreement that ended the war left the country humiliated but not crippled. In

their humiliation, Germans looked for a powerful leader. Many Germans were dissatisfied with their government and wanted change. In the 1930’s, a political group called the Nazi Party came to power.
A man named Adolf Hitler was the Fuhrer, or supreme leader of the Nazi Party. In 1933, Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany. He became head of the German parliament. Hitler wanted power. He broke the World War I peace treaty and began to build an army. Hitler threatened the balance of peace all over Europe.

Meanwhile, two other countries were following Germany’s lead. Powerful dictators in Italy and Japan were building up their own armies. Italy, Japan, and Germany would become the Axis Powers of World War II. Their hunger for military might was quite different from the U.S.’s desire for peace. The United States watched the other countries from a distance. People in the U.S. were worried, but they were isolationists. Americans did not want to get involved in another European war.

On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland. World War II began. Britain and France were allies with Poland and declared war on Germany. Hitler’s strategy was called blitzkrieg. This German word translates to "lightning war.” The German army toppled countries before the countries knew what hit them. By June, Hitler had captured Paris, France.

For two years the United States tried to ignore the war. At the end of 1941, the U.S. was pulled into the war. The country was attacked by Japan. On December 8, 1941, the U.S. declared war on Japan. In return, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States. For the second time in 25 years, the world was fighting a global war.

PART A: Which statement best identifies the central idea of the text? A There is a fine line between discouraging hate speech an
kicyunya [14]

The correct answer is letter B

Freedom of speech the guarantee guaranteed to any individual to express, seek and receive ideas and information of all kinds, with or without the intervention of third parties, through oral, written, artistic or any other means of communication. The principle of freedom of expression must be protected by the constitution of a democracy, preventing the legislative and executive branches of the government from imposing censorship.

A free and open debate on fundamental national issues generates positive considerations about the best strategy to be adopted in solving the problems of that community. For this reason, the existence of democracy and an educated and well-informed civil society whose access to information allows it to participate in public life, strengthening public institutions with its influence, is fundamental. This is where freedom of expression comes in, as it provides the community with a wide range of ideas, data and opinions free of censorship, which can be evaluated, and possibly embraced. For a free people to govern themselves, they must be free to express themselves, openly, publicly and repeatedly; orally or in writing.

Inventions along early sea trade routes?
Andreas93 [3]

Besides silk, the Chinese also exported (sold) teas, salt, sugar, porcelain, and spices. Most of what was traded was expensive luxury goods. This was because it was a long trip and merchants didn't have a lot of room for goods. They imported, or bought, goods like cotton, ivory, wool, gold, and silver.

C. Technically, you couldn't stop people from voting based on their race, but at the time, you could put restrictions on voting. Most white men were educated, and those who weren't could read basic, common words. Black men, historically couldn't read, so literacy tests were an attempt to make it so that black people couldn't vote. Poll taxes were the same way, the white men could afford to pay the poll tax, but the black men couldn't due to their mostly low paying jobs. Lastly, if a white man couldn't read, or couldn't afford to pay the tax, they shouldn't have been allowed to vote, so in order to make it so that they  could vote a "grandfather clause" was instated. This made it so that if your father had voted, you could vote. This meant that any white man could vote.
