Answer:

The first time zones in the US was created by the railroad industry. The need for time zones was felt the railroads spread over thousands of miles. During the 1880's most of the towns in the US had their local time. and these local times created scheduling problems for the railways. Hence the railroad companies agreed for a new time code system. They divided the continent into four time zones. The congress officially adopted the railroad time zone in 1918.

In 1883, it was the "railroad industry" that was responsible for creating the first system of time zones in the United States, since the introduction of rail travel meant that there needed to be a set table of departure and arrival times across the US.

Evaluate whether Napoleon’s rule represented the fulfillment of the French Revolution or the abandonment of those principles.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

No, Napoleon's rule definitely did not represent the fulfillment of the French Revolution ideals, because the French Revolution was a liberal revolution, in the sense that it sought the establishment of a new rule where personal liberties where respected, where people were equal before the law, and where the government was accountable to the people, and served the people.

Explanation:

Napoleon on the other hand, was simply a dictator. Perhaps a very skilled and smart dictator, but a dictator nonetheless. He was not accountable to the people, and could do with the country what he pleased. He got France involved in a series of wars (the Napoleonic Wars), imposed his dictatorial rule over most of Western Europe, and caused the dead of thousands of soldiers with his disastrous decision to invade Russia.

Napoleon was like a new monarch, and the French Revolution was so contrary to the monarchy that its leaders beheaded the last French King: Louis XVI. For all these reasons, Napoleon was the opposite to what the French Revolution sought.
