The correct answer is (c.) The statement that says: Nixon tried to cover up the crimes committed by people in his administration, is not describing the Watergate scandal. Watergate was a big political scandal that caused Nixon's resignation.

The answer that is NOT correct:  B. The press refused to cover the scandal out of respect for President Nixon.

Context/detail:

"Watergate" refers to efforts by persons working for President Nixon's reelection campaign to spy on their opponents at Democratic party headquarters, and subsequent efforts to cover up those crimes.

The first break-in attempt by burglars working on Nixon's behalf occurred  in May, 1972, as persons connected to the Nixon reelection campaign broke into the Democratic National Committee office in the Watergate complex of buildings in Washington, DC.  They were planting wire-taps on the Democrats' phone lines, and also stole copies of documents.  When the wire-taps didn't work properly, they broke in again (in June) to try to fix the surveillance devices, but they were caught.

The formation of the "plumbers" actually preceded Watergate.  They were a "special investigations" unit that the Nixon White House had set up in 1971 to stop the leaking of classified information.  Members of this group were those then later involved in the Watergate break-in (among other activities).

An insider at the FBI who remained anonymous at the time, known only as "Deep Throat," began to give information concerning Watergate to reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the <em>Washington Post. </em>The Watergate scandal was not kept out of the press; indeed, it was the persistent investigative reporting by Woodward and Bernstein that brought the scandal to light and forced Congressional hearings.   (Note:  Years later it was revealed that Deep Throat was Mark Felt, who at the time was Associate Director of the FBI.)

Nixon's role in Watergate was especially in his efforts and those of members of his staff to cover up what had happened.  Ultimately, the Watergate affair brought down the Nixon presidency.  He resigned in order to avoid impeachment.  And the whole affair made Americans more distrusting of government.

I agree with the person above - Athens has laws that treat all people fairly, regardless of social class.
Athens is the land of democracy, which supposedly means that people are equal and treated equally, not taking into account which class they belong to. Having this in mind, A is definitely incorrect; C is incorrect because all Greek city-states did that - Athens is no different; D is incorrect because every city-state had its constitution.

11. Compare and contrast the effects of European colonization on East Africa versus Central and South Africa
galben [10]

The effects of European colonization on East Africa versus Central and South Africa were such that:

Southern and Central Africa:

  • Slavery was done on a larger scale.
  • South and Central Africans were treated harshly.
  • Europeans exploited resources

East Africa:

  • Trade gave them access to new food crops, textiles and metal
  • Slave trade was reduced compared to other parts of Africa.

<h3>How did colonization differ in East Africa versus Central and South Africa?</h3>

Colonization in Eastern Africa was not as bad as in the Central and Southern parts as colonization brought trade which brought new crops and metal products. The slave trade was also not as much as other parts of Africa.

Central and Southern Africa on the other hand, faced a lot of slavery from the Portuguese in Angola and the Belgians in the Congo. This led to the impoverishment of Africans while their wealth was exploited heavily and in places like South Africa, this continued well into the 20th century.

Why did North Ireland, Egypt, Trans-Jordan, Syria, and Palestine fight on the side of the Allies
AVprozaik [17]
They were colonies of great Britain
Great Britain had taken over the areas and declared them to be British spheres of interests following the decline of the Ottoman empire. Egypt specifically was of prime significance to Britain as it was the new route to India and the colonies in the Eastern coast of Africa.
