<u>Answer for question 1</u>
Two of the reasons the United States finally decided to join the war on the side of the Allies were:
- Germany broke his promises of suspending unrestricted submarine warfare in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean on February 1, 1917. And two days later they provoked the sinking of the American cargo ship <em>Housatonic</em>.
- The <em>Zimmermann Telegram</em> was intercepted and deciphered by British code breakers and later sent to the U.S. on February 20 of the same year, and released to the media on 28th. The telegram was a secret message in which the German foreign secretary, Arthur Zimmermann, proposed Mexico an alliance in the case of war between the U.S. and Germany, promising Mexico financial and territorial rewards for its support.
<u>Answer for question 2</u><u> </u>
Woodrow Wilson's plan for world peace was called "The Fourteen Points".
The Fourteen Points speech, given on January 8, 1918, was a statement that set out fourteen separate points describing the essential elements and proposals for a peaceful settlement in WW1.
Its main goal was to achieve peace between nations by bringing justice to all nationalities, which included to not treat too harshly the defeated <em>Central Powers. </em>
Some of the proposals stated in the peace plan included: to eliminate the general causes of the war (Disarmament, free trade, freedom of the seas, the adoption of open diplomacy in Europe instead of secret agreements, etc.), the evacuation of the <em>Central Power</em> from the countries invaded during the war, the <em>League of Nations</em> (a peace-keeping organization to guarantee the political and territorial independence of countries) and the establishment of the conditions for the Armistice that brought an end to World War I.
Two of the reasons the plan failed:
- England, France, and Italy disagreed in some of the Fourteen Point's proposals since their intention after the war was to regain what they had lost by harshly punishing Germany, through <em>The Treaty of Versailles</em>, in which Germany was forced to sign.
- Even though, Wilson campaigned throughout the U.S. trying to convince Americans to accept to be part of the <em>League of Nations</em>, the Senate and American people never accepted. They believed that such foreign participation could lead them into another war.
Answer:
C) improvement in the standard of living for all people
Explanation:
In industrialized countries, the period 1870-1890 was the era of the most rapid economic growth in their history. Due to the sharp increase in labor productivity and falling prices for consumer goods, the lifestyle has been significantly improved. Improving transport and accelerating trade has prevented hunger in the event of crop failure in certain regions. In the industrial era, a mass education system was formed. In general, the standard of living of the population as a result of the industrial revolution has grown. Improving the quality of food, sanitary conditions, the quality and accessibility of health care has led to a significant increase in life expectancy and a drop in mortality.
Answer with Explanation:
Mass production refers to the increase quantities of production of particular products by using technology.
In the middle of the 18th century, mass production increased due to people's investment in machinery. This also affected the agricultural sector of Europe, which led to mechanizing the work in this sector. It even became more prominent in the 19th century. In order to increase the output of the workers, new production processes were employed. So, this attracted the wealthy merchants of the time to invest in those machines, so their businesses would flourish. From the agricultural sector, it led to increase production in textile manufacturing, chemical manufacturing and the like.
I don't believe that religious beliefs play much of a role in how our cities are built today. America is a melting pot full of different cultures and religions, if religions were taken into account when building cities perhaps some cultures would feel left out or unrecognized.
