What did the league of nations do when nations went to war?
NARA [144]

<span>United States of America refused to enter 1920 when Warren G. Harding came to the presidency, although, as we mentioned, Wilson was his promoter. Germany was denied entry, but joined in 1926, to leave again after Hitler's accession to power in 1933. The Soviet Union was also denied entry, acceded in 1934 and was Again expelled in 1939 Japan left in 1933 and Italy in 1936. In addition, the league never had the economic or military means to impose its resolutions. The thirties marked their ultimate failure. The aggressions of the fascist and militarist powers showed their inefficiency. The beginning of the Second World War meant the end of the first world organization of nations. Among the same peace treaties with which World War I ends, includes the creation of the League of Nations or League of Nations, which had US President Thomas W. Wilson as its great promoter</span>

What are Three effects of 9/11 and 2 examples of each effect.
guapka [62]

Answer:

1. Ongoing Wars

2.Immigration and Deportation

3. Big surveillance

Explanation:

1. Less than a month after 9/11, U.S. troops invaded Afghanistan in an attempt to dismantle  al-Qaeda — the terrorist group that claimed responsibility for the attacks — and remove the Taliban government harboring it. Our military involvement in Afghanistan, which continues today, has turned into the longest-running war in U.S. history. And although formal U.S. combat operations ended in late 2014,  more than 8,000 U.S. troops are still there to stem the ongoing Taliban insurgency. The LA Times reports that as of August 25, 2014, 749 California service members from every corner of the state had been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

2.  The Immigration and Naturalization Service and the U.S. Customs Service -- both formerly part of the Department of Justice -- were consolidated into the newly formed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The agency has overseen a massive increase in deportations; they have nearly doubled since 9/11. According to the Department of Homeland Security’s Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, there were roughly 200,000 annual deportations a year between 1999 and 2001. While that number dropped slightly in 2002, it began to steadily climb the following year. In the first two years of the Obama Administration (2009 - 2010), deportations hit a record high: nearly 400,000 annually.  About half of those deported during that period were convicted of a criminal offense, although mostly low-level, non-violent crimes.

3. The U.S. intelligence state boomed in the wake of 9/11. The growth resulted in a marked increase in government oversight, primarily through a vast, clandestine network of phone and web surveillance.  The exponential growth of this apparatus -- armed with a $52.6 billion budget in 2013 -- was brought to light when the Washington Post obtained a "black budget" report from Snowden, detailing the bureaucratic and operational landscape of the 16 spy agencies and more than 107,000 employees that now make up the U.S. intelligence community.

Hope this helps!

Why was dividing powers so important to the colonists
SashulF [63]
Ensures government remains fair and accountable by creating checks and balances on the use of power. It is essential under the rule of law that the use of power is lawful, and can be challenged. Power is balanced between the Judiciary, Legislature and Executive, so each can act as a check on the power of the other.
