Before John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960 in a dramatically close election, he promised a "New Frontier" of domestic social and economic reform. As President he offered a wide agenda of legislative proposals to realize this goal. The major proposals included establishing a volunteer Peace Corps to assist underdeveloped countries, raising the minimum wage and broadening its coverage, raising Social Security benefits, providing medicare, providing federal aid to education, creating a federal department of urban affairs, and giving greater powers to the federal government to deal with economic recessions. The Congress and the country were not ready to adopt all of this program, however. The Peace Corps was established, Social Security benefits and the minimum wage were raised, and a historic housing law was enacted, but little else was enacted. Kennedy's term was tragically shortened by an assassin's bullet in November 1963.
Kennedy brought an eager and able throng of people anxious to serve under him. One of the most notable among them was Arthur J. Goldberg, special counsel to the AFL-CIO and considered the leading labor lawyer in the country. Kennedy named Goldberg to be his Secretary of Labor. Known as the "Davey Crockett of the New Frontier", Goldberg became involved in a wide range of social and cultural issues in the Kennedy Administration. He was instrumental in improving cultural life in the Capital and in beginning redevelopment of the Pennsylvania Avenue corridor from Capitol Hill to the White House. In the labor sphere, Goldberg concentrated on dealing with labor relations problems and on improving equal employment opportunities.
Early in his term Goldberg had to bring bad news on two fronts to the country: unemployment rose to 6.8 percent in January 1961; and, in March the "steel gap" closed and the Russians finally matched American steel production. Later in the year, however, the economy was in better shape. George Meany, president of the AFL-CIO, said that under Goldberg's leadership the Department came closer to realizing its mission of promoting the welfare of working people "than it has at any time in my ... experience in Washington." Goldberg left the Department in September 1962 to become an Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.
The correct answer is A) the Allied powers encouraged the formation of the State of Israel.
What resulted from the Allied powers' discovery of the atrocities committed against the Jewish population during the Holocaust was that the Allied powers encouraged the formation of the State of Israel.
When the Allied forces discovered the existence of the Nazi concentration camps during World War II, the troops were in shock to witness those atrocities. The Allied Forces immediately decided to free the Jewish people that were found in the camps. They started in Majdanek, in July 1944. The Soviets troops were the first to found the camp.
That is why at the end of the war, Great Britain with the support of the United States decided to grant the Jewish that was the state of Israel in the Palestine territories of the Middle East.
