Answer:

Greek democracy created at Athens was direct, rather than representative: any adult male citizen over the age of 20 could take part, and it was a duty to do so. The officials of the democracy were in part elected by the Assembly and in large part chosen by lottery in a process called sortition.

Athenian direct democracy allowed free male citizens to elect leaders to make laws and American representative democracy does not. ... American representative democracy allows citizens to elect leaders to shape laws and Athenian direct democracy did not.

• Why were nuclear weapons important during the Cold War?
cricket20 [7]
Off the top of my head:

The US devised the Manhattan project during ww2 and afterwards to develop nuclear weapons. The kept this secret from USSR even though they were allied. This contributed to Stalin’s paranoia and increased tensions between the two countries.

You also mention how Truman used this ‘atomic-monopoly’ to give him confidence and make him think that he could dictate decisions during the Potsdam conference and other meetings which heightened tensions with USSR.

Nuclear weapons also played a large role during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the point where nuclear war was at it’s closest to becoming reality and destroying the world.

By that point the USSR had also developed atomic bombs. The fact both superpowers had nuclear weapons meant they had to be sensitive in the way they handled each other and you could link this with Cuba and argue that it was the only reason the Cold War didn’t turn into full-scale, physical war.

There’s other things you could say beyond these points as well.

Which of the following is true of Spain's explorations of the New World?
klasskru [66]

Answer: b. Florida was the first region in the present-day continental United States that Spain colonized.

Explanation:

Florida or Spanish Florida as it was known, was the first territory claimed by a European power in North America.

It was much larger than the present state of Florida and included parts of present day Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Established by Juan Ponce de León for the Spanish crown, Spain found it particularly difficult as well as too unattractive to maintain a significant presence which led to the territory continually shrinking until it's authority in Florida barely extended out of the various ports that were established.
