Germany lost World War I. In the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, the victorious powers (the United States, Great Britain, France, and other allied states) imposed punitive territorial, military, and economic provisions on defeated Germany. In the west, Germany returned Alsace-Lorraine to France.
<em>A. They rejected Parliament’s right to manage their internal affairs.</em>
Explanation:
Following the French and Indian War, Great Britain decided to put taxes on the colonists. One of these tax laws was called the Stamp Act, which put taxes on printed items.
The colonists were not happy with these taxes and thought they were unfair, as they had nobody in the British Parliament to vouch for them, also known as "taxation without representation." Great Britain said they were actually taxing them fairly, as they needed to pay the debts for the French and Indian War and were providing the colonists with troops to protect them.
This caused tensions to rise between the colonists and Great Britain. The British colonial policies made the colonists start to want independence from Great Britain, as they felt everything they were doing was unfair. <u>They rejected the British Parliament's right to manage their internal affairs and essentially wanted to be left alone. </u>
Answer:
Détente
Explanation:
Détente is a word of French origin that means to ease hostilities with an adversary.
When Nixon took office in 1969, he promoted a détente policy with the Soviet Union and China, advised by his secretary of the state: Henry Kissinger.
Nixon visited China in 1972, and met personally with Mao Zedong. This event was the start of a new relation between the U.S. and China.
He also met with Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev in 1972, and reached important agreements like the Anti-Ballistic missile treaty.
Most historians coincide that this policy of détente was successful, and helped Nixon become reelected.
Answer:
After World War II much of Europe was destroyed. Armies from both sides had bombed roads, bridges, supplies, and communication facilities throughout Europe. Europe needed to rebuild.
This was not easy however. Many governments were in debt or out of money because they had used all their resources in fighting the war. On top of this, their economies were devastated making it difficult to collect taxes in order to rebuild. Many people did not have enough food to eat let alone money to pay taxes.
Fear of Communism
The United States, as well as much of Europe, had allied with the Russians in order to defeat Hitler and the Germans. However, now they were worried about the Russians and the spread of communism. If Western Europe did not rebuild and grow strong quickly, it may soon fall to communism.
Fortunately, the land of the United States had been free of war and devastation. The US economy was doing well, making the United States the richest country in the world. They wanted to help Europe and their allies recover from the War.
