Answer:

Consequently, on May 24, 1917, Britain introduced its convoy system. Under the new arrangements, a convoy of 10 to 50 merchant ships—along with, possibly, a troopship carrying arms and soldiers—might be escorted by a cruiser, six destroyers, 11 armed trawlers and a pair of torpedo boats with aerial reconnaissance equipment that could detect the movement of underwater submarines. Convoy gathering points were established along the Atlantic coast of North and South America, from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Hampton, Virginia, all the way down to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to handle the transport not only of men and arms but also of foodstuffs and horses, the basic supplies of the Allied war effort.

Answer:

The convoy system, a group of ships sailing together for protection, was designed to help protect cargo in passenger ships during the First and Second World War. The system was created out of desperation.

Explanation:

The convoy system was necessary because it helped them overcome U-boat threats, and prevented them from losing any allied ships (for days and weeks); it also helped equip Britain with important supplies.

  • The borders of European nations would be redrawn.

Nations in East Europe and the territory that Germany had occupied were reshaped.

Lost territories included East Prussia, Farther Pomerania, Neumark, West Upper Silesia, Lower Silesia.

The USSR territorial ambitions made him expand at the cost of eastern European countries. Some countries got indeed bigger: Poland had recovered again most of its boundaries.

  • Germany would be forced to pay reparations to the Allies.

Germany was made again responsible for paying reparations after World War II. Total debt of over $300 billion, later Germany was responsible for paying over $3 billion.

The debt was to pay the devastation it caused on European cities.

  • Leaders of Nazi Germany would be made to stand trial for war crimes.

The Nuremberg Trials were the major effort of the United States, Great Britain, France, and the USSR. Genocide and war crimes were to be judged and the processing of most of Nazi officials was enforced.

Hans Frank, Wilhelm Frick, Julius Streicher, Alfred Rosenberg, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Fritz Sauckel, Alfred Jodl, Wilhelm Keitel, and Arthur Seyss-Inquart were found all guilty.

A total of 12 officials were sentenced to death by hanging. Some of them were never captured and others committed s.u.i.c.i.d.e before the hanging.

Explain the impacts of immigration and urbanization on the rise of global economy. Make sure to provide specific examples.
azamat

Answer:

The potential of urbanization to promote growth is likely to depend on how conducive the infrastructure and institutional settings are. Removing barriers to rural–urban mobility may enable economic growth, but the benefits will be much larger with supportive policies, markets and infrastructure investments.

immigrants help grow the economy by filling labor needs, purchasing goods and paying taxes. When more people work, productivity increases.

Which philosopher had the most profound influence on Thomas Jefferson's political thought?

John Locke wrote a famous book, called Two Treatises of Government, in which he explains his philosophies on how governments should be structured.
