Answer:

B. North Africa

Explanation:

The US entered the war as an ally to Britain and France with Operation Torch , a major offensive in a series of struggles to control the Suez Cannal and access pointos to oil from the Middle East coming from Asia.

The oil became a strategic resource since modern armies demanded high amounts of it to mobilize.

The allied forces reduces the presence of the Axis in Egypt, and enabled a landing of troops into Southern Europe, as a second frontline which the USSR so long had been requesting since invasion by Germany with Operation Barbarossa took place-

As such  Operation Torch was the first mass involvement of US troops in the European–North African dispute, witnessing a major US air strike carried in cooperation with the Royal airforce.

What more could the government have done to support the Ireland famine ?
Whitepunk [10]
Since they viewed it as a great way to 'decrease the surplus population', having a different, more sympathetic outlook would have helped. Giving them food they could cook and eat would also have helped: the Irish had a lot of trouble trying to prepare and eat the Indian meal they sent. They could also have opened more soup kitchens, told the landlords to show a little leniency and stop evicting people because heir livelihoods were gone and their means of paying rent with them. But they wanted to get rid of the Irish, and so they did. There was a famine in the Scottish Highlands in 1846 and because of charitable efforts nowhere near as many people died. They could have saved them by showing charity, but they didn't.

Using complete sentences, explain how the development of rail transportation affected the growth patterns of US cities.
zhannawk [14.2K]
The development of railroads made money for the steel industry in which made money for companies. Since steel is sturdy and costs cheaper to make, more and more railroads will be built across the country. This made transportation easier, and the population in major cities rose due to the increase in rail roads. More and more businesses grew because they were able to transport their goods across the country.

How is our country right now similar to the time following reconstruction? write AT LEAST TWO PARAGRAPHS.
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:  As a country, America has gone though many political changes throughout her lifetime. Leaders have come and gone, all of them having different objectives and plans for the future. As history takes its course, though, most all of these “revolutionary movements” come to an end. One such movement was Reconstruction. Reconstruction was a time period in America consisting of many leaders, goals and accomplishments. Though, like all things in life, it did come to an end, the resulting outcome has been labeled both a success and a failure.

When Reconstruction began in 1865, a broken America had just finished fighting the Civil War. In all respects, Reconstruction was mainly just that. It was a time period of “putting back the pieces”, as people say. It was the point where America attempted to become a full running country once more. This, though, was not an easy task. The memory of massive death was still in the front of everyone’s mind, hardening into resentment and sometimes even hatred. The south was virtually non-existent politically or economically, and searching desperately for a way back in. Along with these things, now living amongst the population were almost four million former slaves, who had no idea how to make a living on their own. They had been freed by the 13th amendment in 1865, and in the future became a great concern to many political leaders. Still, it was no secret that something had to be done. So, as usually happens, political leaders appeared on the stage, each holding their own plan of Reconstruction, each certain their ideas were the correct ones. One of the first people who came up with a blueprint for Reconstruction was the president at the time, Abraham Lincoln. The “Lincoln Plan” was a very open one, stating that after certain criteria were met a confederate state could return to the union. To rejoin, a state had to have ten percent of voters both accept the emancipation of slaves and swear loyalty to the union. Also, those high ranking officers of the state could not hold office or carry out voting rights unless the president said so.
