In an attempt to lower the risk of war the united states were party to the five power treaty which limited the size of naval warships for those who signed the document. The five power treaty which is also known as Washington naval treaty was a treaty between the major nations that had won world war 1 which decided to avoid an arms race by limiting naval construction. It was discussed at the washington naval conference from November 1921 to February 1922 and contracted by the governments of the united kingdom, united states, japan, france and italy. It limits the construction of battleships, battle cruisers and aircraft carriers by the undersigned. The quantity of other classifications of warships which comprises vessels, destructive force and submarines were not restricted by the treaty but those ships were restricted to 10,000 tons’ transposition.
No, that is the exact opposite of the progressive era and it’s goals. The main objectives of the Progressive movement were addressing problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption. The movement primarily targeted political machines and their bosses. It focused on the lower class to ensure equality for them. It was meant to defuse exploiting the lower class.

The New Age of Creativity: When the Walls Came Down and the Windows Went Up.” On 11/9/89, the Berlin Wall fell (“the Walls Came Down”) and the citizens of the former Soviet empire were suddenly able to participate in the global economy. Friedman uses the fall of the Berlin Wall as a symbol for a general global shift towards democratic governments and free-market economies (where consumers determine prices based on what they’re willing to pay) and away from authoritarian governments and centrally planned economies (in which prices are set by government officials). India made the conversion from a centrally planned economy to a free-market system two years after the Berlin Wall fell, when its economy was on the brink of collapse. Their annual rate of India’s growth soared from 3% per year to 7%. Friedman argues that the Berlin Wall also represented a barrier to seeing the world as a “a single market, a single ecosystem, and a single community” (p. 53). When it fell, it became easier for the world to see itself as one gigantic economic playing field.
Six months after the fall of the Berlin Wall, in May 1990, Microsoft shipped its breakthrough operating system, Windows 3.0 (“The Windows Went Up”). This may not sound like a big deal, but this operating system was so much easier to use than previous versions that Friedman argues it is in large part responsible for popularizing personal computing – everyday people began using computers. The reason that personal computing is influential is that it fostered people’s interaction with digital media content – music, pictures, video, and text that is represented as 1’s and 0’s on a computer and thus can be stored, manipulated, and shared in an infinite number of ways. Film is replaced with memory cards. Records are replaced with electronic files on MP3 players. This is what Friedman means when he calls this period “The New Age of Creativity” – it is the time when people are given the tools to author and share new information faster and easier than ever before.
