The Great Society saw government as providing a hand up, not a handout. The cornerstone was a thriving economy (which the 1964 tax cut sparked); in such circumstances, most Americans would be able to enjoy the material blessings of society.

What policy hope the United States might be able to contain communism within its current borders.
satela [25.4K]

Communism was on the march.

When the RED ARMY marched on Germany, it quickly absorbed the nearby nations ESTONIA, LATVIA, AND LITHUANIAinto the Soviet Union. Soon communist forces dominated the governments of ROMANIA and BULGARIA. By the fall of 1945, it was clear that the Soviet-backed LUBLIN REGIME had complete control of Poland, violating the Yalta promise of free and unfettered elections there. It was only a matter of time before Hungary and Czechoslovakia fell into the Soviet orbit. Yugoslavia had an independent communist leader named TITO.

Which of these in literature was influenced by events during the Great Depression
nirvana33 [79]

Answer: C

Explanation:

D is a silly answer, so you can eliminate that right off. A seems reasonable, but technology wasn't advanced yet so there were no drawbacks when there was nothing to draw back from. B is just as good as C, but C is the correct answer because the Great Depression inspired people to get out of poverty and numerous slumps, and so the American population wanted to succeed with jobs and different aspects of life.

Take a look at the book The Great Gatsby. It's a Depression classic in literature, and there's a theme of flaunting wealth in every part. The "flaunting wealth" part connects with the will to succeed.
