These countries started off with disagreements and bad things happened, but the reason why they do Cooperate now is because the have a shared interest. For example when the United States and Russia had to join together despite the US not wanting to get involved because of Hitler. They all had to do the same thing which is set aside their differences and focus on what was going to help them both in the long run. Lastly, resources are also a huge component as to why they are buddies now. Every country relies on another country for a specific resource and once that resource is taken away they’ll have no where else to go, so they have to go back and forget their differences. Ie. the United States and Japan.

Terence V Powderly leader of the knights of labor did not a post strike true or false?
Rudiy27

"Terence V Powderly leader of the knights of labor did not a post strike" is TRUE.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

In 1870s and in initial 1880s, Terence V. Powderly headed the Knights of Labor, a strong advocate for the eight hours day. Under the governance of Powderly, the union opposed the use of strikes and promoted democratic reform of society. Such action caused considerable discontent among the participants of the Knights of Labor, particularly among those representatives who supported strikes.

From 1886 the Knights of Labor split with Samuel Gompers. In December 1886, he named for an organizing meeting to take place in Columbus, Ohio. Gompers and his followers introduced a new union at that meeting named it "the American Labor Federation". Throughout the 1890s, the union was counted as one of the most powerful in the U.S.
