WWl

More than 350,000 African Americans served in segregated units during World War I, mostly as support troops. Several units saw action alongside French soldiers fighting against the Germans, and 171 African Americans were awarded the French Legion of Honor.
WWII

Despite a high enlistment rate in the U.S. Army, African Americans were not treated equally. At parades, church services, in transportation and canteens the races were kept separate. A quota of only 48 nurses was set for African-American women, and the women were segregated from white nurses and white soldiers for much of the war. Eventually more black nurses enlisted. They were assigned to care for black soldiers. Black nurses were integrated into everyday life with their white colleagues. The first African-American woman sworn into the Navy Nurse Corps was Phyllis Mae Dailey, a Columbia University student from New York. She was the first of only four African-American women to serve as a Navy nurse during World War II.

What do you already know about the 9/11 terrorist attacks? What aspects of American life do you think were changed after the 9/1
KIM [24]

1) Four flights were hijacked. Two crashed into the World Trade Center towers, one crashed into the Pentagon, and one was going for an undisclosed target, but ended up crashing into a field in Pennsylvania. Over 2,000 lives were lost.

2) The War on Terrorism began which is still going on to this day. Airlines now have more security measures, the 24 hour news cycle began, and the Patriot Act was enacted.

3) First responders are dealing with mental and physical health issues from responding to the attacks. They have trauma from what they saw when responding, and have been getting illnesses like cancer from all the dust and asbestos at the attack sites. The death toll from the attacks is still rising due to this

In the era immediately following the coup that overthrew Jacobo Árbenz in 1954, how did the United States maintain its influence
Archy [21]

Answer:

A CIA appointee headed the new dictatorship

Explanation:

As the Cold War heated up in the 1950s, the United States made decisions on foreign policy with the goal of containing communism. To maintain its hegemony in the Western Hemisphere, the U.S. intervened in Guatemala in 1954 and removed its elected president, Jacobo Arbenz, on the premise that he was soft on communism.

The threat of communism spreading throughout Latin America gave the CIA the support to overthrow the Guatemala government without disrupting the United Fruit Company and their products.
