It was "d. the construction of defensive missile systems" that consumed most of the Pentagon's budget between 1981 and 1985, since the Cold War was still going on.
Answer:
<h2>Russia began to mobilize its troops along Germany's borders.</h2>
Explanation/context:
The systems of alliances and military plans which were put in place before World War I presupposed a major war between the countries which were tied together with alliances. The Triple Entente had Britain, France and Russia as allies. Germany was part of a group of allies in opposition to the Triple Entente.
So here's what happened to start the Great War (World War I). When an Austrian prince and his wife were assassinated in Serbia, the Austrian Empire threatened the nation of Serbia with retaliatory action (even though the assassination was carried out by a terrorist group, not the Serbian government). Russia responded to Austria's threat, because Russia was bound to protect its Slavic ally, Serbia. Germany responded to the mobilization of Russian troops, and when Germany declared war on Russia in 1914, they implemented the Schlieffen Plan (drawn up by one of their generals), which called for them to go on attack vs. France. That pulled France and Britain into the war immediately as well, and the war spread and became a global conflict.
Answer: Let's start with a definitive description of each.
Capitalism: is a free market economy, where goods and services are produced by private firms. The goods produced are determined by market forces of Demand and Supply.
Socialism: is an economy where each member of the public owns an equal fraction of the means by which goods and services are produced. The goods produced here are determined by the government.
Explanation: I am going to list some of the Advantages and Disadvantages of each so that you can pick the advantages of the system you are supporting and the disadvantages of the other system in your essay.
Capitalism
Advantages:
- It ensures that only the goods needed are produced as the market is controlled by demand and supply.
- It encourages innovation and personal development as better skills and products lead to higher income.
Disadvantages
- It can neglect to produce necessary goods in the economy when focus is only on goods that give the highest return.
- It leads to inequality between the people in an economy.
Socialism
Advantages:
- It leads to equality, people enjoy equal standards of living
- It corrects market problems such as monopolies, price fixing and cartels.
Disadvantages:
- There is an absence of innovation due to lack of competition, so there is no drive to improve on the current goods, services or methods of production.
- It leads to bureaucratic bottleneck as decisions usually have to be taken by several government officials in a bid to ensure that rules are followed.
It could be either A or C but honestly i am not positive on either one of those answers. 3>
