The following passage is an excerpt from a letter from scientist Albert Einstein to US president Franklin Roosevelt. Read the ex

cerpt and then answer question that follows. Some recent work by E. Fermi and L. Szilard, which has been communicated to me in manuscript, leads me to expect that the element uranium may be turned into a new and important source of energy in the immediate future. . . . This new phenomenon would . . . lead to the construction of bombs, and it is conceivable . . . that extremely powerful bombs of a new type could thus be constructed. A single bomb of this type, carried by a boat and exploded in a port, might very well destroy the whole port as well as some of the surrounding territory. However, such bombs might prove to be too heavy for transportation by air. In view of this situation, you may think it desirable to have some permanent contact between the Administration and the group of physicists working on chain reactions in America.
Based on the lesson, which event was a direct result of Einstein’s letter?
A) the arms race to produce nuclear weapons between two world superpowers
B) the discovery that nuclear reactions could be used to create energy
C) the establishment of a project in Los Alamos, New Mexico, to develop
D) the first atomic bomb the use of nuclear power as an alternative energy source to fossil fuels

The correct answer is C) the establishment of a project in Los Alamos, New Mexico, to develop.

Based on the lesson, the event that was a direct result of Einstein’s letter was the establishment of a project in Los Alamos, New Mexico, to develop.

We are talking about the famous "Einstein-Szilard letter," that was written to the United States, President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was Alexander Sachs -a close friend of President Roosevelt- who delivered the letter to him on October 11, 1939. The content of the letter left a big impression in Roosevelt's mind, he ordered the creation of an advisory Uranium Committee. Years later, on December 28, 1942, President Roosevelt ordered the creation of the Manhattan Project to create nuclear weapons.

I will mark brainliest! Was the Treaty of Versailles a just and fair peace treaty or an unjust and unfair one? Was it a good pea
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The treaty of Versailles was an unfair one. The "war guilt" clause forced Germany and her allies to take all the blame for the world war. Moreover, Germany lost it's land, overseas colonies, population, and coal and iron industry. Germany was also made to pay reparations and limit their armed forces.

The treaty of Versailles was an invitation to deadlier wars in the future. In fact, it can be concluded that the treaty was a controversy in itself. Because Germany was subjected to ill treatment and was made to pay reparations beyond the country's capacity post war, it became the mojor cause for the WW II.

How are Karl Marx and Adam smith different between property ownership? Help me please
postnew [5]

Answer:

Karl Marx and Adam Smith are both very different when it comes to their views about property ownership.

Explanation:

Adam Smith defends private property and considers it to be not only one of the pillars of the market system, but of civilization itself.

Karl Marx, on the other hand, understands the function of private property in society, but criticizes the tendency that private property has to accumulate in a few hands, a phenomenon also known as capital accumulation, which Marx identifies as one of the pillars of capitalism. For this reason, Marx proposes an alternative property system based on common ownership, and this system is known as communism.
