Question 1:

If I were a Cuban in 1901, I would have been mostly unhappy about American Imperialism. Americans had some interests in Cuba that were humanitarian or paternalistic. For example, they wanted to improve Cuba's economy, schools, sanitation, etc. However, they were also pursuing selfish interests, such as trying to make American businesses the beneficiaries of the new Cuban constitution.

These goals were achieved through various means. America used extensive trade to maintain its influence and investments rather than military occupation. Another method was by using the "soft power" of cultural expansionism, in which Cuba would adopt American ideals and institutions.

Regardless of whether their goals were positive or negative for Cuba, they limited the power of Cubans to govern themselves and to decide their own destiny. They also put the interests of American businesses before those of the Cuban people.

Question 2:

I would have thought that American intervention was not fair, or necessary. In order for it to be fair, Americans would have needed to gain popular consent of the Cuban people, which they did not have. Moreover, the interests of Cubans should have been just as important as the interests of Americans.

The intervention was also unnecessary as it prevented Cuba from gaining full independence by not allowing them to create their own laws. The intervention of Americans in the constitution through the Platt Amendment meant that very few Cubans gained the right to vote. It also restricted the opportunities of Cuba to engage in diplomatic relations with other countries. Most importantly, Cubans were forced to authorize American intervention to keep order and protect Cuban independence.

fiasKO [112]

The correct answer is B The members of the single house are elected by the people.

A unicameral legislature refers to a government structure in which their is only one house. This explains why letter C. is incorrect.

In America, under the Articles of Confederation, there was a unicameral legislature in which each state had one vote in Congress. Each state had the ability to pick their representative. This power, given to the citizens, allowed for democratic ideals to be implemented into American society.

Founded by Osama bin Laden, which was considered the most dangerous international terrorist group in the 1990s and early 2000s?
sashaice [31]

The correct answer is definitely Al Qaeda. It was founded in 1988 by Osama bib Laden during the Soviet War of Afghanistan (1979-1989). He create it because he deeply hated the West for what he perceived as an alleged Jewish-Christian world conspiracy to attack Islam. The USA and the West had trained Islamic <em>mujahideen </em>(Islamic fighters of Jihad, or “holy war”) in Afghanistan and other countries to fight the Soviets there. They provided them with modern weapons and funding. Near the end of the war, Bin Laden decided to expand Jihad against the West and all its allies, especially Israel. Because these terrorists had been trained by the US and its allies, and because they still had the modern weapons the US gave them to fight the Soviets, added to the fact that Bin Laden himself was part of one of the richest families in Saudi Arabia, that meant that Al Qaeda had a large amount of trained and experience fighter to train even more Islamic jihadists who had access to modern American weaponry and Saudi funding. This made them the most powerful terrorist organization during the 1990s (1998 American Embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya, the USS Cole bombing and then the September 11th World Trade Center attacks) and the early 2000s.
