I'm doing this right now as well and I'm stuck except I do have an answer for # 2
Black Death:
Cause- Around 2,000 years ago black rats, caught the plague from other species of rats that were infested with fleas that carried the plague. Fleas carried the bacteria that caused the plague and transferred it to the rats. When the fleas found a warm-blooded animal, they jumped onto it, drank its blood, and transmitted the plague. When infected rats died, the fleas hopped off them and onto other rats or nearby humans.
Effect- By the 14th century the Black Death had taken about half the population of Europe. A population decline of that magnitude had a big effect on everyday life and on the European economy. For those who survived the illness, many of these effects were economically beneficial.
When the Black Death finally was gone landowners had farms that were standing still because there were not enough workers to take care of them. Merchants and artisans had no assistants. Shops whose owners had died needed to be reopened. In short, much of Europe’s economy needed to be rebuilt. The effects of the plague made economic changes that changed most European societies by empowering those who had been on the low end of the economy.Great Famine:
Cause- rain flooded farms and rotted crops
Effect-this left no food for people or animals and caused millions to die of starvation
Progressives supported women's suffrage because they believed women would support their reform movement. The Progressives were committed to helping woman's suffrage. Their goal was to eliminate corruption by exposing and undercutting political machines and bosses. Progressives supported prohibition in order to destroy the political power of local bosses based in saloons. At the same time, women's suffrage was promoted as bringing a "purer" female vote into the arena.
Answer: A) The Irish Republican Army supported the Protestant majority
Explanation:
The Irish Republican Army (IRA) fought the British in Northern Ireland in the hopes of gaining independence for Northern Ireland so that they could unite with Southern Ireland.
The IRA supported the Catholics in the minority not the Protestants who are in the majority in Northern Island. Perhaps this is why the IRA was unable to win, they were formed to represent the minority, not the majority.
Executive Order 9066 was an authorization for the secretary of war to create militarized zones that were to serve as concentration camps for the Japanese. It was issued in 1942 a few months after the attack on Pearl Harbor and created concentration camps that lasted until 1945.
During World War II (1939-1945) nearly 90% of the Japanese individuals living in the continental US were interned in these camps. Many of them were American citizens in the second and third generations.
Roosevelt passed this executive order because of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The order served to make any Japanese individual a potential spy working against the US.
