Mary Elizabeth Lease (1850-1933) was a lecturer, political activist and author involved with the suffrage movement, the temperance movement and the People's Party (Populists).

After 1874, Lease moved to Wichita, Kansas with her family and in 1888, she began working with the Union Labor Party and then with the People's Party. She was known as a powerful and popular orator and the farmers of Kansas found she could put their frustrations with Wall Street into words. She is credited with causing the agrarian risings in the Midwest through her rhetoric, even though she denied that claim.

The agrarian revolts and her involvement in it became national news, and she was heavily criticized and personally attacked because of her views. Eventually the party distanced themselves from her and the Populist's Party itself was defeated in 1894.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

The wall was built to avoid people flee from the Eastside (the soviet side), however, the most important reason was to isolate East Berim, supported by the Soviet Union, of the West Side, supported by the United States.

Explanation:

Berlin Wall was the might symbol of the Cold War. After World War II, the winners divided Germany, which lost the conflict, in four political zones, each one controlled by the victorious countries (France, United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union). In Berlin, the capital, however, two divisions highlighted: the West, controlled by the Americans, representing capitalism (Western Germany); and the East, supported by the soviets, representing socialism/communism (Eastern Germany). Many people were separated from their families by an imaginary border, but they were always trying to flee from one side to another. This motivated the Soviet Union leader at that time, Nikita Kruschev, to authorize the building of a concrete wall, separating the sides, to avoid more flees. But Berlin Wall didn't avoid people to continue to flee, and more of them tried to so during the time the Wall was there.

Ano ang alam mo tungkol sa asya

Masja [62]

Answer:

Ang Asya ay ang pinakamalaking

kontinente sa daigdig. Kahit ipag-sama

ang lupain ng North at South America, mas

malaki parin ang sukat sa kontinenteng Asya. Dahil ang kabuuang sukat ng Asya ay tinatayang sangkatlong (1/3) bahagi ng kabuuang sukat ng lupain ng daigdig o 44,614,000 ang lawak nito, kaya ang bilang ng bansa dito sa Asya ay 44 na bansa at 4,088,647,780 ang tinatayang populasyon

dito. Sa Asya ang pinakamadaming

populasyon sa daigdig.

Ang China ay kabilang sa Asya na may pinakamalaking populasyon sa daigdig at ang Mt. Everest na pinakamataas na bundok na nasa pagitan ng Sagamartha Zone sa Nepal at Tibet sa China. Halos lahat ng nasa top 10 na pinakamalaking bundok ay nasa Asya. Ito ay ang Everest, K-2, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu at Annapurna. Yan lahat ay kabilang sa Top 10 sa Pinakamataas na Bundok ng Daigdig. Sa bale ang 8 na bundok sa Top 10 ay nasa Asya.

Facts: Diba ang Asya ay ang pinakamalaking kontinente? Ang Asya ay ang pinakamalaki, pinakamaraming bansa, kasi 44 lang ang bilang sa kanilang bansa. At nangunguna parin ang bansang Africa sa pinakamaraming bansa sa daigdig.
