<span>Joseph Raymond McCarthy was an American politician who served as U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957. Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public face of a period in the United States in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread Communist subversion. He is known for alleging that numerous Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers had infiltrated the United States federal government, universities, film industry, and elsewhere. Ultimately, the smear tactics that he used led him to be censured by the U.S. Senate. The term "McCarthyism", coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's practices, was soon applied to similar anti-communist activities. Today, the term is used in reference to what are considered demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents.

Ok.... I really hopes this helps!!!!

The first leader of the Persian empire was Cyrus II the Great. He led against the medes and expanded the empire throughout Central Asia. He was known for being fair & just. The Holy Bible provides direct evidence of his reign.

In 600 BC, Cyrus was born in the city of Anshan.

In 550 BC, he defeated the Army of Media, which was commanded by King Astiages. Then, Cyrus conquered the kingdoms of Lydia and Babylon.  In this way, Cyrus founded the Persian empire, which was the largest until then.

The Hebrew Bible mentions Cyrus as the king who freed the Jewish people from slavery in Babylon.

What contributed to the Battle of Stalingrad becoming a turning point in the war?
miskamm [114]
<span>I can see two main points that shows the importance of the Battle of Stalingrad:
1] Material: In the battle the Germans lost and entire army (the 6th) with its entire staff of commanding officers including a Field Marshall (von Paulus). This was a staggering loss for a country of limited possibilities in replacing manpower.
2] Psychological: For the first time (and from here on throughout the entire war) the Russian Red Army assumed the initiative in conducting offensive actions. The fact also that the first big defeat in Russia of the German Army happened in a town with the name of Stalin didn’t help the morale.</span>
