Once both the United States and the Soviet Union had atomic weapons, the Cold War became a tense standoff in which each side knew that provoking a war would mean mutually assured destruction.  An arms race in nuclear weapons developed, to the point that both nations possessed enough nuclear weapons to destroy not only one another but the whole world in the process.  This caused much fear and apprehension among everyday people, to be sure. But it also kept leaders from actions that would lead to a direct war between the superpowers.  The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, for example, showed that backing away from war was wiser than creating a nuclear clash with one another.  

The two countries tended to pursue their Cold War agendas in other ways rather than by direct conflict with each other.  They supported opposing sides in smaller wars that occurred (such as the Six Day War between Israel and Arab States in 1967).  They sought to align other countries with them in their competing political and economic alliances.  

Eventually, the US and the USSR began to talk with one another about reducing nuclear armaments because both sides recognized the enormous threat and danger posed by the massive arsenals they had developed.

What are three things from the film Dunkirk that are NOT historically accurate. How do you know this?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

1 The British ships in the movie appear to be expected at the mole during daylight hours, although orders given at the beginning of June 1940 had made it clear that they would only come in at night.

2 Equally remiss is the failure to profile the bitter rows between French and British commanders over whether the British should carry on holding the port until more French troops could be evacuated. Nor is there even the smallest reference to the number of troops left behind at Dunkirk when the evacuation was terminated: on the British side, a hospital full of British wounded staffed by a skeleton staff of doctors and medical orderlies, and on the French side no less than 80,000 soldiers.

3 women appear at Dunkirk on some of the little ships, although I never encountered any in the course of my research.

What were the Native American family roles?

Image result for explain the roles of native Americans during the time of the constitution. what did the families and communities look like?

Native American families valued responsibility. Having an extended family allowed each person to be responsible for something. In some tribes, a second set of parents were chosen for an infant at birth. These unrelated people worked together to raise that child.

Why was the above passage included in the Bill of Rights?
Strike441 [17]

The correct answer is A. To explain why rights were being reserved for citizens rather than the government.


Indeed, the context of the Bill of Rights was that the articles of Confederation that were used to regulate relations between the states were insufficient as the federal government that was supposed to enforce them was actually weakened by them. The Philadelphia Convention was organized to fix these articles but it was finally decided that they would be replaced with the Constitution. However, the great fear of Anti-Federalists was that such Constitution would give too much power to the President and thus it had to be counterbalanced by strong Individual rights for American Citizens. Thus, this particular Fifth Amendment was intended to establish several constitutional rights and judicial protections for American citizens such as:


- The Right to be judged by a Grand Jury of one’s peers.

- The Infamous crime clause.

- The Double Jeopardy Clause (right not to be tried twice for the same offense).

- The Right not to be forced self-incriminate legally.

- The Due Process Clause (right not to be arrested, prosecuted or incarcerated without valid legal justification and trial).

- The Takings Clause (the right not to be dispossessed of one’s property arbitrarily or without proper monetary compensation).
