1 answer:

8 0

Americans had a huge impact on the end of World War I with the entry into the war as the Allies were at a stalemate with the Axis powers because of the usage of trench warfare.

After the war, the peace settlement that took place was one of the worst agreements. America had the Fourteen Points which was an amazing statement of principles for peace.

Only one of those points was ever considered, and that was the creation of the League of Nations which led to the creation of the United Nations after World War II.

France and Britian wanted Germany to suffer for the war, so they denied the fourteen points and signed the treaty that led to the rise of Hitler and the second World War.

The Treaty of Versailles which blamed the whole war on Germany, as well as forcing them to make payments they could not make, taking away many freedoms, and downright punishing the country.

And as we know, when a country is not stable like this... They will choose the loss of freedoms over economic collapse and that is exactly what happened when Hitler came into play and basically saved Germany from an economic collapse while also starting the biggest world war and the Holocaust.

Yup, history can get very interesting.

Hope this helps!

How did the compromise of 1850 affect slavery during manifest destiny

aksik [14]

Manifest Destiny basically mean, "EVERYONE MOVE TO THE WEST NOW!" But with no slaves, how would they create farms to maintain themselves? Easy: expand slavery. However, this was battled against by several sources to create the Compromise of 1850. The compromise delayed the Civil War, despite politicians knowing it will eventually happen. It bought them time-- that was important! Other new states like Nebraska and Kansas were allowed to allow slavery or not. This eventually grew to where the North had no slavery and the South did, which lead to the Civil War.

Which of the following was NOT a provision of the Coercive Acts?

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

C) The creation of colonial-controlled legislatures

Explanation:

Part of the 1774 Coercive Acts (known by the colonists as the Intolerable Acts) was the Massachusetts Government Act, which repealed the Massachusetts Bay Colony's right to elect its own legislature, in effect turning it into a royal colony. Thomas Gage was made the royal governor and instituted martial law within the colony. Also, under these acts, many of the provisions of the Quartering Act, which had been repealed earlier, were put back into place. The Administration of Justice Act allowed trials to be held in locations outside of the area where the crime took place. Furthermore, the Boston Harbor was closed until the damages caused by the Boston Tea Party were repaid.
