Which event provided the greatest push to decolonize Africa?

Katarina [22]

Correct answer: The end of World War II.

European nations had established colonial empires in Africa in the late 19th and early 20th century. Coming out of World War II, those European nations lacked the resources and energy to maintain far-away empires in Africa and Asia (as well as the ability to suppress revolutions there). Plus they were now aligning themselves with either the USA or the USSR in the new Cold War world that was taking shape.

Additional factors: Coming out of the period of the World Wars, there was a prevailing attitude among the Allies that people should be allowed self-determination of their nations and governments. In other words, they were leaving behind attitudes favoring colonialism and imperialism, believing all nations should be able to determine their own destinies. Coupled with that were rising nationalistic attitudes in African nations that had been dominated by European imperialism. Those factors, along with the economic realities in Europe, started the trend toward decolonization.

PLEASE HELP!!

kirill [66]

The automobile was presumably invented by Karl Benz, whom many suggest created the first true automobile in 1885/1886, Mannheim Germany. Karl Benz received credit for inventing it the automobile because his car was practical, used a gasoline-powered internal-combustion engine and worked like modern cars do today. Nevertheless, there were previous prototypes created by different inventors around that era, so exactly who invented the automobile is a matter of opinion. Ultimately, the purpose of the automobile was to revolutionize the idea of self-propelled vehicles.

6. Why was the Virginia Company founded?

kumpel [21]

The Virginia Company of London was a joint-stock company chartered by King James I in 1606 to establish a colony in North America. Such a venture allowed the Crown to reap the benefits of colonization—natural resources, new markets for English goods, leverage against the Spanish—without bearing the costs.

Write a paragraph about the New Deal and how it might have helped.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

here is an old essay on the new deal i did a while ago. (sorry i was against the new deal)

During one of the United States’ biggest economic declines, called the Great Depression, children had to work because their families were extremely poor. This occurred in the 1930s. Then Franklin Delano Rosevelt (“FDR”, the president at the time) tried to fix that by creating the New Deal, a collection of programs to get the country out of recession by creating job programs.

The New Deal was not effective but the real reason we got out of the depression was World War Two (“WW2”). There are two reasons I believe this: 1) The government jobs were temporary; 2) the taxes increased the price for goods.

Most of FDR’s New Deal programs were temporary. A great example of this is the CCC was never used again after the depression. Additionally, the WPA ended in 1943 just a few years before the end of WW2.

The farmers were not making enough money so FDR made a program to help farmers. To do this, the government told all of the farmers to exhaust agricultural goods, so farmers could keep up with technology, supply and demand, and increase prices. But on the other hand the average joe couldn't afford food because the supply was low and prices were high.

FDR made programs to help the poorest people of the depression, hence the CCC to get the economy up and running, and helped the average joe by giving them jobs and putting their money back to work. However the CCC could not last forever and WW2 had a greater impact on the economy, because we kickstarted the mass production of guns, bullets, jeeps, and many other warfare items.

The New Deal helped the small minute details of the depression. But the depression was like the hammer fist that fixed everything else. Because there was so much demand for jobs women worked in the factories and jeeps were getting blown up and the army needed replacement jeeps. Also bullets were constantly getting wasted so we needed people to make more bullets and a demand for everything went up.

The new deal was an attempt to fix the economy and, failed because of taxes overspending and speculation. The new deal was a desperate attempt to fix the economy but, if it worked we will never know.
