Answer:

C) MARSEILLE

Explanation:

Traditionally, the economy of Marseille has been occupied in being the port of the French Empire, connecting the French colonies of the north of Africa like Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia with the town of France. Currently, the old port is one of the main attractions for tourism, which in turn is one of the main sources of income of the city, since there are many cafes, bars and hotels. Fishing still remains fundamental in the local economy and, of course, in the gastronomy of Marseille. In spite of the variety of the culinary offer of the city, the fresh catches of the day are a very important attraction in the restaurants, bars and terraces of the town.

The economy of Marseille, today, is dominated by the New Port, perpendicular to the Old. A port of commercial containers and transport to the Mediterranean. Most of the transport that passes through the port is related to oil, making Marseille the most important port in France in this transport and the third in Europe. However, this growth is being held back by the constant attacks and social conscience regarding oil.

<em>A.  Draw the nation into unnecessary conflicts.</em>

Explanation:

In 1920, the United States Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles, the peace treaty that ended World War I and created the League of Nations, due to fears that the League of Nations would draw the nation into unnecessary conflicts.

President Woodrow Wilson was the one who thought of the League of Nations, which was talked about in his Fourteen Points. His Fourteen Points were plans for during and after World War I and mostly had to do with peace and preventing future conflicts. The League of Nations ended up being part of the Treaty of Versailles, but even though United States President Woodrow Wilson came up with the League of Nations, the United States never ended up joining it.

This was because many people were isolationists after World War I. Isolationists did not want anything to do with foreign affairs, as they feared it would draw the nation into unnecessary conflicts. Many people did not want a repeat of World War I and essentially wanted to protect their country. The United States Senate was also filled with isolationists and wanted nothing to do with foreign problems, so they simply did not want to join the League of Nations.

Explanation:

World War II

Seeds of War

The seeds of World War II were sown in the treaties that ended World War I. As a result, dictatorships arose in Germany and Italy. Benito Mussolini led the Fascists in Italy, and Adolph Hitler led the Nazis in Germany. At the same time, a military dictatorship grew in Japan. Although Japan had an Emperor, the country was actually controlled by a military team led by men named Tojo and Yamamoto. Aggression by each of these three countries led to instability among their neighbors, and outright warfare in several areas.

The Lines Are Drawn

During all of these events the League of Nations, forerunner of the United Nations, was powerless to control any of the war-like activities. Governments in Britain and France tried to negotiate through diplomatic channels. But they weren't successful. War finally was declared in Europe when Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Germany, Italy and Japan became knows as the Axis powers. After World War II began the opposing countries, including Russia, were called the Allies.

The U.S. Joins the War

The United States entered World War II on December 8, 1941, the day after the Japanese had attacked U.S. military and naval bases at Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands. Because Japan was considered an Axis power, the U.S. declared war on Japan, Germany and Italy too.

Wartime measures went into effect quickly. There was a draft of young men for the armed services. Rationing was instituted on gasoline, rubber, automobiles, clothing and food. Sale of war bonds to finance the war began. Prices were controlled. Factories were converted to the production of military items such as tanks, rifles, ammunition, airplanes and ships. People on the "Home Front" were encouraged to conserve energy, to plant "Victory Gardens" and to buy war bonds. Adults and children across the country collected salvage materials such as copper, aluminum and scrap iron.

Men and Women Join the Military

This was the first war in which women could serve on active duty. The Women's Army Auxiliary Corp (WAAC), the Women Air force Service Pilots (WASPS) and the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES) were three branches of service for women. Families with members in military service hung flags in the front windows of their houses along with a blue star for each member. If a family member was killed in action, a gold star was substituted, leading to the organization of the "Gold Star Mothers."

Workers Help the War Effort

During World War II the induction of young men into the armed forces led to labor shortages at home. Women were employed outside the home in greater numbers than ever before, doing work customarily thought to be "men's work" such as assembly line jobs in factories. This led to a new nickname for these women—"Rosie the Riveter."

Fear at Home

As during any war, there were fears of attack. Many feared bombing by the Japanese. They feared German spies and were alert for subversive talk or action. Even though the danger of air raids was slight, many installed "black-out curtains" for their windows. They held black-out sessions closing off any light to the outside.

Life Was Never the Same Again

World War II ended in 1945. Returning soldiers, called "GIs", came back to a different society where women did all kinds of work, urban jobs outnumbered farm jobs, and where a federal program called the "G.I. Bill" allowed veterans to attend college at government expense. Thousands of veterans received college degrees as a result of this program.

The second world war in the 20th century took its toll on the world and the United States. Those who went to far-reaching areas of the world—far from home—contributed to the war effort firsthand. Many of those individuals returned to their homes and many are still able to share their stories.
