The Wilmot Proviso pointed to trouble ahead in the debate over the expansion of slavery.

In 1846, Congressman David Wilmot of Pennsylvania introduced the proviso as an amendment to an appropriations bill in connection with the peace treaty being negotiated with Mexico.  His amendment stipulated that any territory gained from Mexico would be free, not allowing slavery.  Wilmot's amendment passed in the House of Representatives, but was unable to get approval in the Senate.  The high-intensity debate over slavery and the expansion of slavery was evidenced by how things went with the "Wilmot Proviso."

Which late 1940s event prompted the United States to take steps to protect itself from Soviet espionage? the detonation of a bom
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

the detonation of a bomb on Russian soil.

In 1949, the Americans were astonished to see that the U.S.S.R. had detonated their own atomic bomb (as a test) on their grounds. It had been only 4 years since the detonation of the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and they considered it could not be sufficient time to develop the atomic bomb by themselves. Suspicion of espionage was their main option. Time proved them right. Nearly a dozen Soviet spies were convicted of passing information to the Soviets during this period about the atomic bomb in what was called the "Manhattan Project", the most famous spy being Emil Julius Klaus Fuchs. After this experience, the United States began to invest a large quantity of money in protecting their secret projects and fighting espionage.
