Answer:

The violent protests held in 1968 during the Democratic National Convention were motivated by young people's dissatisfaction with the Vietnam War.

Explanation:

When the 1968 Democratic National Convention began in Chicago, thousands of young activists from all over the country gathered in the city to protest against the Vietnam War. In a confrontation that was televised live, Americans were shocked to see Chicago police beating anti-war protesters on the streets of the city. As protesters shouted "The whole world is watching," police used sticks and tear gas to repel demonstrators, leaving many of them bloody and stunned. The tear gas still floated in suites of numerous hotels, in one of them Vice President Humphrey was watching the event on television. However, police claimed their actions were justified because police officers were being injured by bottles, stones and shards of glass being thrown at them by protesters, and protesters also shouted verbal insults at police officers, calling them "pigs" and other epithets. The anti-war riots divided the base of the Democratic Party, with some supporting the protesters and feeling that the police were being weighed, but others frowned on the violence and supported the police.

5. What is a command economy? How is it different from the economy in the United
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer: The answers are provided below

Explanation:

A command economy is also called a planned economy and it is a type of economic system where the investment, production and allocation of goods take place according to economic and production plans. In a command economy, the government determines income, production and prices. The United States make use of the mixed economy system which is an economic system which features characteristics of capitalism and socialism i.e individuals, firm and government all have a role to play in the allocation of resources and price determination.

The goal of the Five Year plan was to take the Soviet Union from a weak and poorly controlled, agricultural state to an industrial powerhouse. It was successful to some extent, as there was rapid industrialisation in the USSR. In about 4–5 years, the industrial output of the USSR had been doubled and this even happened during the great depression, where most of the industrial output fell in other countries.

The Five Year Plans was evidence of a command economy as the government made all the economic decisions.

The goal of collectivization which was adopted by the Soviet government, and pursued between 1929 and 1933, was to transform the traditional agriculture that existed in the Soviet Union and also to reduce the economic power that the prosperous peasants known as the kulaks had. Socially, collectivisation was a failure as it provoked resistance and violent opposition. In an attempt not to give their crops and livestock, the farmers killed their livestocks and burnt their crops.

Collectivization was evidence of a command economy as the government wanted to make all the economic decisions in the economy regarding production and other vital aspects of the economy.

Describe three ways in which the Plains Indians used the buffalo and then describe how the introduction of the horse changed the
aev [14]

The three ways that the Indians that lived on the Great Plains used the buffalo are:

- Food source; the buffalo meat was essential for the survival of the Indians from the Great Plains, it was their prime food source, and since there were buffalo's in abundance they used it in their favor.

- Clothing material; the fur of the buffalo is very thick and warm, so it was used for making warm and cozy clothes, and its skin was used as well for making shoes or lighter clothes.

- Tools, weapons, jewelry; the bones of the buffalo were used for multiple reasons, for making weapons, tools that were needed in the daily life, jewelry etc.

The introduction of the horse to the Indians changed their hunting technique, their battle tactics, and their daily lives in general. The horse was used for hunting buffalo, which increased the efficiency and safety in the hunting. Horses were used for transportation and travel, which enabled them to do things much quicker and easier, and also they were used in battles in a similar manner like the nomadic people form Central Asia.
