We have to remember that there was a big difference between the treaties themselves and the paper documents that European-Americans used to record those treaties. For many Native Americans, a treaty was an oral agreement between governments. It was methodically memorized and often sealed with an exchange of gifts. In the eastern part of North America, wampum belts (which were shells strung together to create images) served as official records of these treaties, and were draped over a speaker's body when the treaty was being recited later on, much as Europeans might read aloud the text of a written agreement between two European countries.

For Natives, the oral agreement, along with these wampum belts, WERE the treaty, and the paper document they signed was just some odd European habit that they often simply tolerated. Many of the Native leaders who signed these treaties could not read what they were signing, and even if they could they did not recognize the documents as being the official record of what was agreed on.

Answer:

Breaking the Berlin Blockade would lead to war with the Soviet Union.

Explanation:

The USSR used the Berlin blockage in order to get the western Allies to ceed their German occupied territories. Due to the USSR having a larger number of military personnel in Germany and the US not wanting another war outbreak, the US and their Allies chose to airlift food and energy supplies into East Berlin. The trucks were backed into the planes because a lot of time was spent offloading supplies and there was no time for that.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: a. U.S. wartime and pre-war agencies and European social reform models.

Explanation:

President Franklin D. Roosevelt took over at a time when the United States was facing it's worst economic crisis yet with the Great Depression. In order to get the U.S. back on its feet, he enacted a series of measures known as the New Deal.

The New Deal was based on spending to improve employment and to pump money into the economy to stimulate spending. Federal agencies were founded that hired temporary employees and gave states and cities money to embark on relief measures.

These measures were borrowed from European social reform models and the work of U.S. wartime agencies.
