History

Marina86 [1]3 years ago

The United States covered a large part of land from East to West. Traditionally, even town had their own time, determined by a sundial at noon.

However, this became problematic as noon in one city could be very difficult from a noon in another city. As the railroads expanded it was deemed impossible to run the operations with every town, station and city having a separate time.

It was also dangerous as different times could result in collisions.

Eventually, the Railroads came up with an idea to divide Mainland United State into four different time zones so that it was easier to manage.

This eventually helped to develop the official time zones in the country.

blagie [28]
The 2008 recession/financial crises one of the worst of its kind in a generation. Major economies including the United States and the UK suffered a period of recession, consistent low-growth, rising unemployment and many businesses closing down.

A 10-member committee called the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission was setup by the US government to study the causes of the recession, in the hopes that a future similar crisis could be prevented.

In 2011, the committee released their findings and pointed out the two major reasons for the crisis:

1. The basic reason for the crises as the Collapse of the housing market.

2. Which in turn was fueled by toxic mortgages, low-interest and easy credit available to everyone and minimal regulation.

The report also pointed out vast problems of corporate governance, lack of government will and unpreparedness.

Feliz [49]

The correct answer to number 1 is A) the start of the Cold War.

The start of the Cold War was a result of increased political, economic, and military tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. These tensions were caused by the difference in economic and political systems of the two countries, with the US disliking the system of communism used by the Soviet Union. This is when the fear of communism, aka the second Red Scare, really started to grow in the United States.

The correct answer to number 2 is C) government and security.

One of McCarthy's most famous speeches was given in West Virginia in the early 1950's in which he claimed, through his research, that he had found 207 members of the State Department were communism. This research was said to have been conducted during the 1940's.

The correct answer to number A) A wave of isolationist sentiment.

After both World Wars, Americans were focused on having their life return to normal since millions of men were now home and looking to start families.
