I believe that the answer is that the use of nuclear weapons ended the war much faster than Stalin had anticipated. Stalin wanted to enter the war in the pacific, however the use of nuclear weapons crippled the Japanese, forcing them to surrender. Stalin was unhappy that his soldiers did not get to enter the war in the pacific, causing bad blood between Stalin and Truman. Eventually this bad blood lead to the Cold War as things got more tense between the two. Hope this helped!

The United States became a major Industrial power in the late 19th century as the country grew in size and population.
Local demand for new cities, infrastructure, railroads made the United States into the world's largest steel producer.
Eventually, this new growth slowed down, as the country became developed and open trade with other countries meant it could import cheaper steel.
China is going through a similar path of growth, seeing rapid urbanization and growth of new cities and railroads. The local demand alone has turned China into the world's largest steel producer and a major exporter.
Eventually, we can expect this demand to gradually cool off and China loose this status as the world's largest producer of Steel.
As the country surges towards a more service-oriented economy, it might start importing cheap steel as well.
FDR was the President of the United States of America.
<u>Things must occur for people living together to become a civilization:</u>
Civilization refers to the social and cultural development of man in an advanced state. There are several elements of civilization, including:
- Large population
- A centralized government
- Organized religion
- Architecture, art, infrastructure and unique style
- Writing
- Professional specialization and social activities
The three most important things that are necessary are centralized government, social class and writing. A centralized government is a person or group of people responsible for creating and enforcing the law. The US centralized the federal government in Washington. The social class is divided into upper, middle and lower. USA uses English.
The correct options are:
- military dictatorships
- rebellions and insurgencies
- high rates of poverty
After gaining its independence, the young nation faced several problems: the country had to be rebuilt from the ravages of war and reach an agreement with several Japanese collaborators and entrepreneurs to begin their economic development. Meanwhile, the Hukbalahap, a rebel communist army that previously fought against the Japanese, remained active in rural areas. Finally, this threat was addressed by the Secretary of National Defense and later president Ramón Magsaysay, although some sporadic cases of communist insurgency continued to be presented. In 1965, Ferdinand Marcos was elected president, with his wife Imelda Marcos at his side. As the Constitution forbade being re-elected more than twice for the presidential office, at the end of his second term he declared martial law on September 21, 1972. To continue governing by decree, he used as arguments the political division, the tension of the War Cold and the specter of the communist rebellion and the Islamic insurgency in the country. Thus began a dictatorship that lasted more than ten years and was characterized by strict control of the economy and political repression.
The return of democracy and reforms to the government after the events of 1986 were hampered by the national debt, corruption, coup attempts, a persistent Communist insurgency and Islamic separatist movements. Although the economy improved during the administration of Fidel V. Ramos, who was elected president in 1992, the start of the 1997 Asian financial crisis halted these advances.
