Two of Swift's pro-Irish writings were _______, which encouraged the boycott of English copper coins, and _______. which drew at
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:Two of Swift's pro-Irish writings were, 'The Drapier's Letters' which encouraged the boycott of English copper coins, and, 'A Modest Proposal' which drew attention to starvation in Ireland.

Explanation:According to Wikipedia, 'The Drapier's Letters (1724) was a series of pamphlets against the monopoly granted by the English government to William Wood to mint copper coinage for Ireland. It was widely believed that Wood would need to flood Ireland with debased coinage in order to make a profit. In these "letters" Swift posed as a shop-keeper—a draper—to criticise the plan. Swift's writing was so effective in undermining opinion in the project that a reward was offered by the government to anyone disclosing the true identity of the author. Though hardly a secret (on returning to Dublin after one of his trips to England, Swift was greeted with a banner, "Welcome Home, Drapier") no one turned Swift in, although there was an unsuccessful attempt to prosecute the publisher Harding.Thanks to the general outcry against the coinage, Wood's patent was recinded in September 1725 and the coins were kept out of circulation.'

According to Wikipedia, 'A Modest Proposal For preventing the Children of Poor People From being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and For making them Beneficial to the Publick, commonly referred to as A Modest Proposal, is a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift in 1729. The essay suggests that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. This satirical hyperbole mocked heartless attitudes towards the poor, as well as British policy toward the Irish in general. The primary target of Swift's satire was the rationalism of modern economics, and the growth of rationalistic modes of thinking in modern life at the expense of more traditional human values.'

Is it important for textbooks about the history of the Soviet Union to emphasize military strength?
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Yes. It is important.

Explanation:

The history of the Soviet Union's military started following the October revolution that brought Bolsheviks to power. The new government formed the Red Army in 1918. The Red Army defeated several internal enemies, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Finland. In world war two, they played a huge role in conquering the Germans. Following the victory, the Soviet Union became the major superpower rival to the United States. By early 1980s, the Soviet armed forces had more ground troops, nuclear weapons and artillery guns than any other country on earth. The political and economic chaos of the late 1980s led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union's military power and the role they played in world war two, is a significant part of their identity and history and therefore should be emphasized.
