Answer:

The brief war fought against the Spanish Navy and land forces in 1898 established the United States as a global, major navy and military power.

The war was fought in Cuba - the Caribbean - and in the Pacific. If a century before American governments were not willing to join wars among European powers and pursued a cautious diplomacy, full industrialization, territorial expansion and a fantastic growth of economic might made the United States a player in world affairs to be reckoned with a century later. That´s why the Spanish-American war is a turning point in American history: the US would play a large role in world affairs from that moment on.

How can expansionary and contractionary tax policies be used to manage the economy? Be sure to give your answer in two to three

AURORKA [14]

Expansionary and contractionary policies can be used to encourage or discourage economic growth. Expansionary policies generally lower taxes and give consumers and producers additional money, which encourages spending and growth. This is done when unemployment is high. On the other hand, contractionary policies generally raise taxes, which can give consumers and producers less to spend. This can cause less economic growth, but is necessary when the economy is growing too quickly and inflation is rising.

Describe the motivation behind Britain and France's ultimate declaration of war on Germany?

Digiron [165]

Answer:

The motivation is that Britian and France got angry when they found out that Germany invaded Belgium which was the first ever battle and start of the First World War (Battle of Liege). Germany invaded Belgium because they wanted to invade France inspired by The Schlieffen Plan which means they charge at France at lightning speed while Russia gets ready for war since they're so big and clumpy and then also charge Russia at lightning speed. But that plan failed since Belgium was strong enough to hold to Germans back. Austria - Hungary got angry at Serbia since they might have assasinated Ferdinand so they declare war on each other. Germany attacks the other countries fearing they might get involved too since France, Russia, and Britian are allies with Serbia.

After Jesus' ascension, the disciples gathered together to wait as Jesus had commanded.

o-na [289]

True. Ascension was the 40th day after Jesus resurrected from the dead. After completing his God-given mission, he gave the task to his disciples to continue spreading the word to people.

When Jesus ascended the disciples went to Jerusalem and prayed for ten days as Jesus had commanded. During this event the Holy Spirit came to visit the disciples and made them speak in different tongues. This outpouring of the power of the Holy Spirit is known as the Pentecost.
