The correct answer is D) to prohibit US citizens from disclosing any information related to the war.

The US Congress passed the Espionage Act in 1917 to prohibit US citizens from disclosing any information related to the war.

On April 6, 1917, the United States entered World War 1. Two months after that, the US Congress passed the Espionage Act: On June 15, 1917, it was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson. The act made it federal crime any act that could interfere with the US military or that helped any enemy nation. It also stated that any individual that shared information with the enemy would be sentenced to death.

Lelechka [254]
I think it becomes difficult because they all wanted to have more advantages than anyone else, that became too much for the country that they defeated.

How have Classical Empires impacted and shaped human civilization and to what extent is the Classical Period historically signif
irinina [24]
The Classical Period represented a consolidation of the basic elements of human civilization, thus overcoming our ancient nomadic lifestyle of hunting and gathering. The stablishment of ancient civilizations meant having the means to maintain a sedentary lifestlye, starting with agriculture and cattle raising. Then as cities grew more complex concepts became of everyday use, such as economy or religion.

The Classical Empires, such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, the Greek city-states, Carthage and Rome, expanded not only military power but economic growth, religion, language, the development of arts, technology and philosophy. These concepts started thousands of years ago, and became widespread because of the prosperity that sedentary lifestyle allowed in these empires, each one making its particular contribution to humanity.
