Why did some new European govern-<br> ments survive and others fail during<br> the 1920s?
tangare [24]

Economic depression make many democracies became weak and they became threatened for the communism and dictators.

The 1929 Crisis was a consequence of the great expansion of credit through money supply (issuance of money and bonds) carried out by the Federal Reserve System (a type of US Central Bank) since the early years of the 1920s. from 1929, this expansion had to be stopped by the Government, since the adjustment of accounts needed to be done. The Government then stopped expanding the money supply and began to operate a loan restriction policy. Fearing the currency's devaluation, many people and companies withdrew their reserves from banks, initiating a recessionary process.

List three<br> reasons that Loyalists sided<br> with Britain
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Loyalists were American colonists who stayed loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolutionary War, often called Tories, Royalists, or King's Men at the time. They were opposed by the "Patriots", who supported the revolution, and called them "persons inimical to the liberties of America".[1] Prominent Loyalists repeatedly assured the British government that many thousands of them would spring to arms and fight for the crown. The British government acted in expectation of that, especially in the southern campaigns in 1780–81. In practice, the number of Loyalists in military service was far lower than expected since Britain could not effectively protect them except in those areas where Britain had military control. The British were often suspicious of them, not knowing whom they could fully trust in such a conflicted situation; they were often looked down upon.[2] Patriots watched suspected Loyalists very closely and would not tolerate any organized Loyalist opposition. Many outspoken or militarily active Loyalists were forced to flee, especially to their stronghold of New York City. William Franklin, the royal governor of New Jersey and son of Patriot leader Benjamin Franklin, became the leader of the Loyalists after his release from a Patriot prison in 1778. He worked to build Loyalist military units to fight in the war, but the number of volunteers was much fewer than London expected.

When their cause was defeated, about 15 percent of the Loyalists (65,000–70,000 people) fled to other parts of the British Empire, to Britain itself, or to British North America (now Canada). The southern Loyalists moved mostly to Florida, which had remained loyal to the Crown, and to British Caribbean possessions, often bringing along their slaves. Northern Loyalists largely migrated to Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. They called themselves United Empire Loyalists. Most were compensated with Canadian land or British cash distributed through formal claims procedures. Loyalists who left the US received £3 million[citation needed] or about 37 percent of their losses from the British government. Loyalists who stayed in the US were generally able to retain their property and become American citizens.[3] Historians have estimated that between 15 and 20 percent of the two million whites in the colonies in 1775 were Loyalists (300,000–400,000).[4]

9. Which development was responsible for the success of Henry Ford during the early 1900s? ​
maw [93]

Answer:

a) the effectiveness of mass production.

Explanation:

Henry Ford was the first car producer (Ford Industries) to use the assembly line, which allowed certain groups of workers to work on specific parts of the car, while simultaneously transferring the component throughout the groups to create a full car at the end. This allowed Ford to create large amounts of cars in short amount of time, decreasing not only cost of production, but also the cost to buy the car, further making the car more popular with the people. This cycle allowed for cheap cars, which in turn made Ford rich.
