3 0

Answer:

According to Gies, the motivation was simply the fact that she wanted to help and she would have felt regret, if she let innocent people die.

Explanation:

Till the end of her life, Gies, never considered herself a hero. She explained that it was human nature to help someone and clearly stated, that by calling her actions 'brave' or 'heroic' would put on her on a pedestal, and demotivate other people to act out kindly when needed.

Gies was Dutch and had worked with Jewish people before. She felt empathy and always thought her actions were natural, human and not at all special.

How did Theodore Roosevelt regulate the growth of trusts?
sattari [20]

Answer:  He enforced the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Context/history:

The Sherman Anti-Trust Act  was the first measure by Congress to prohibit trusts. It was passed by Congress in 1890.  A trust was when  stockholders in multiple  companies transferred their stock shares to a single group of trustees. Thus a whole industry area could be dominated by a single "trust" organization, destroying the free market of business competition. This was a monopolistic practice which the Sherman Anti-Trust Act ended.  Thus the Sherman Anti-Trust Act directly went against the idea of those who believed business success should be based on large business owners colluding with one another.

Initially the Sherman Antitrust Act was not well enforced by US courts.  But when Theodore ("Teddy") Roosevelt took office as President in 1901, he pushed enforcement of the Act and worked to reign in the power of big businesses.

Note:  

The Clayton Antitrust Act was passed by Congress in 1914, after Teddy Roosevelt was no longer President.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

Latin America was closer to the U.S., so it was considered more essential to the country's security.

Explanation:

The U.S. took a more active role in preventing the spread of Communism in Latin America versus Asia or Europe because: "Latin America was closer to the U.S., so it was considered more essential to the country's security."

Latin America is characterized by the countries in the American continent that are mostly either Spanish or Portuguese speakers. The South American continent has various countries in which they speak either Spanish and Portuguese. South America is closer to the United States which is located in the North American continent.

Hence, because of the greater risks in the spread of communism near them, which is South America, the United States took a more active role in preventing the spread of Communism in Latin America versus Asia or Europe
