They knew that the communists had nuclear weapons as well and there was fear that a nuclear war might broke out after world war 2 had barely ended. There were also a lot of people who supported communism in the United States because they believed communism was more about equality than capitalism was. There was a lot of influential Marxist thinkers who inspired these people.

In the United States it was mostly irrational. At first the United States didn't know how powerful the Soviet Union was because they were closed to the West and people like McCarthy kept talking about traitors who worked in every sphere of life and even in the United State military. People lived in fear not knowing that none of it was actually true and that Soviets were not as powerful as was believed.

It isn't applicable today since nobody really fears communism since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The 90s led to an era which philosophers called the end of history because it was established that Capitalism won and that the United States was dominant and since then there's been no real reason to fear communism since there was no way of it becoming the main ideology.<span />

How were Jews blamed for having made Germany lose the war?
MAVERICK [17]

tler was convinced that Germany ought to be a supremely powerful nation and therefore could not believe that losing the war could be Germany’s fault. His view was that somebody must have betrayed Germany. Following the First World War, the victorious Allies forced Germany to pay huge amounts of money and goods in compensation.

The Treaty of Versailles also took away German lands. Hitler along with many others felt that Germany was being treated unfairly. The newly elected German government (the Weimar Government) faced enormous problems. Unhappy people wanted a leader who could make Germany strong again. Hitler firmly believed that he could be this man.

What do you miss most about being in the actual school building?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

I definitely miss the experience of being able to communicate with the teacher face to face and be able to ask questions about certain assignments directly when I have them. I also feel being in an organized classroom and school building helps motivate students by making them focus on the task at hand and reduces the amount of distractions.

Read the following historical perspectives from two modern-day historians.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

B. Historian A wants to make the colonists appear in a negative light by suggesting that they did not really believe in freedom for all.

Explanation:

The whole point of the American Revolution is that the colonists wanted to overthrow the oppressive British government who was imposing more and more taxes on them. Historian A believed that the American colonists were wrong in starting the Revolution, because they were 1) well protected by the British, and that 2) they do not act on what they want.

For example, the American Revolution was basically the 13 Colonies trying to win freedom from the "oppressive" United Kingdom. However, the historian points out that while they themselves know how it feels like to be under oppression, they do not think of their slaves as those who, like them, wanted freedom. This is a "looking-down" view, and the slaves should have been freed at the end of the Revolutionary War. This proves that the US citizens did not believe of "freedom & rights for all", but rather, only for white males.
