7 0

The 1948 United States Presidential Election is considered apart from being one of the biggest electoral upsets in American history, the start of an era of great economic prosperity and growth of the United States as a superpower in the land of politics.  

After winning the election then President elect Harry S. Truman implemented and oversaw various policies in order to contain and stop the influence of communism around the world which culminated in the entry of the United States in the Korean war.

During this time period President Truman also oversaw the approval of NSC 68, a secret statement of foreign policy. Which sought to increase the defense budget and in turn increase the military prowess of the US and weaken the Soviet Union's influence as much as possible.

The results of the 1948 Presidential Elections also influenced the reform of civil rights in the US, more specifically voting rights and fair employment rights, these reforms also had a key role in ending racial segregation in the armed forces.

Describe the similarities between North African and Middle Eastern culture, and explain why the two cultures are similar.
vovikov84 [41]
Basically North African and Middle Eastern cultures have very similar traditional clothing styles, food, architecture, beliefs and art.
This is caused by two main factors: common environment and common rulers.
Both North Africa and the Middle East are hot, dry and deserty. Dominated by the Arabian-Syrian/Sahara Deserts, both cultures were greatly influenced by their harsh environment that necessitated certain adaptions (most notably clothing and certain foods, pork for example generally rots easily in the desert and becomes dangerous to eat).
There is also the issue of their common religion/rulers. A large portion of their joint history has been spent serving under one ruler or another (Rome, Abbassids, Ottomans, etc.) They also share a common religion, greatly influencing eachother.
