History
1 answer:
bezimeni [28]3 years ago

"The first communities in West Africa were made up of extended families.  An extended family included you parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins.  These groups may be as many as 20-25 people and usually the group was lead by a male elder.  As time went on the groups found that there were times where they needed more people to accomplish something.  They may have needed to do some large scale farming, fend off an attack, or stop a flood.  Permanent villages, towns, and cities sprung up in areas where there was lots of resources or trade routes.  Sometimes these areas were able to conquer their neighbors due to their wealth and ability to hire soldiers.  These areas then turned into the first kingdoms of West Africa such as Mali, Ghana, and Songhai."

12) As a result of the Cuban Missile Crisis, was communism contained or expanded? Explain.
Len [333]

Answer:

Here you go:

Explanation:

The Cuban Missile Crisis was at the height of the Cold War, and led to the <em>containment</em> of communism. Soviet Union supported the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro in the establishment and supply of nuclear missiles to keep the United States occupied with the missiles being so close to their nation. As a result, the U.S. threatened to fire their own nuclear missiles which would have been catastrophic. Peace agreements were signed and the Cuban missiles were either demolished or shipped back to the Soviet Union, causing Soviet Union to back down, and thus resulting in the containment of communism.

Name and describe three significant problems that the economy of the Soviet Union ran into in the 1970s and 1980s
KiRa [710]

Answer:

In 1974 there was a power summit meeting near Vladivostok, U.S.S.R. between President Gerald Ford of the U.S. and Leonid Breznev of the Soviet Union. After the meeting Breznev went to his waiting train. The train however did not depart. The journalist and others who traveling on the train with Breznev were not told the reason for the delay even though the delay extended through the night. The next day they were told that Breznev had suffered a stroke. Breznev's personal physician, Mikhail Kosarev, said the problem was an overdose of his sleeping medication rather than a stroke. The symptoms were similar: slurred speech and muscle weakness. Kosareve said that if effect Breznev was a drug addict during this period and had merely miscalculated his dosage. It was not uncommon for the top leadership in totalitarian states to be addicted to sleeping potions. Mao and the top leadership of the Communist Party in China had been addicted to sleeping pills by the time of the Long March. Totalitarian leaders have a hard time relaxing and getting to sleep.

Which of the following was the main concern of the Know-Nothing Party?
irina [24]
The correct answer is A.

The know nothing party of the late 19th century was a political faction that consisted of nativists. Nativists are individuals who think that the wants and needs of native citizens should take priority over those of immigrants. This anti-immigrant stance is rooted in fear that immigrants would take jobs or try to change American culture. This group used violence to scare immigrants. When confronted about their actions, they would say they “know nothing .”
