After the development of atomic weapons in the United States and the Soviet Union the future of their relationship was entirely shaped by this fact. At times there were intense arms races in the hopes of gaining an edge in regards to nuclear weapons. In addition there was also a policy of deterrence developed by the possession of nuclear weapons which used the possibility of mutually assured destruction to stave off attacks and war between the two super powers.

The fact that the Soviet Union and United States had atomic weapons that they could use against each other greatly affected the Cold War. In the United States, students in schools learned about what to do in case of a nuclear attack. The popular "duck and cover" method was introduced to America as a means to protect themselves if atomic warfare ensued.

As far as the relationship between the US and Soviet Union, they were constantly worried about if/when the other country would use this type of weapon. This resulted in both countries investing hundreds of millions of dollars into their military complexes and space programs. Ultimately, this competition over weapons and the constant fear of attack lead to the concept known as brinkmanship. This refers to the fact that the United States and Soviet Union were constantly on the brink of all out war, which resulted in the deaths of millions of people all over the world.

In the 1920s what were the conflicting views on jazz
____ [38]

Answer:

Depending on who you ask you would get a different opinion. Many supporters of jazz found it liberating, exciting, it broke norms and gave freedom. It was a new and very creative way of playing music and dancing. It was a primarily black movement so many found it barbaric or immoral. Hating it because of race and class. It was seen by many that only uneducated people would like that kind of music while classical music was the real art of sophisticated people. Some music teachers also feared that it would make classical music seem boring and uninteresting to the younger generations.

Congress passed legislation to create the Federal Reserve System in 1913 in order to A. end the instability created by a huge cr
kvasek [131]
The Federal Reserve System was basically set up to stabilize prices and price hikes. As an individual who was working at that time and I earned a certain amount but 2 years later dairy prices increased for example 5%, and wages stayed the same, that would cause me to get scared and fearful of other price hikes and the interest I was earning on the money in my bank didn’t change or possibly went down and I started to loose money I would panic and go grab my cash thus creating a run on the banks and an unstable banking system, economic growth is pressured so widespread panic happened and I believe a few times and of course caused banks to close and fail or come close in the early 20th century, before the Fed was created and signed under Woodrow Wilson who himself was an isolationist. Stability is key! Also USA relied on banks that would invest cash on our own country bonds. Where was the steady supply of cash? There was none. Causing the economy to fail. Basically the Fed was a system of failing banks that were tied together being bailed out by Wallstreet financiers working with the Government and Secretary of treasury came up with plans and similar agreements arose with similar failing banks but not insolvent banks or trusts agreeing to insure even its weaker banks/members. It stretched across the country governed by a national board of directors who set interest rates and controlled credit. It also as it evolved had the ability to regulate and supervise banking activities. Also the Fed would make sure that banks could keep up with changes in the demand for currency. To make sure commercial paper was available and lend if needed. Believe me it gets to confusing for me beyond this but these are the basic facts I am aware of. Even the issuing of paper money based on???
