Answer:
Czechoslovakia
Explanation:
The invasion of Warsaw Pact member states (except Romania) into Czechoslovakia began at 11 am on the evening of August 20 of 1968 with the crossing of the Warsaw Pact countries' combined forces across the Czechoslovak borders.
After half past three in the morning on August 21, airplanes, sirens and engines were heard in Prague. At three, all the lights were off in the capital. Speakers from the radio said that former allies were treacherous, that aggression had been committed, that the attack on Prague was a crime unknown in international law. At about three in the morning, Soviet commandos occupied the Prague airport, and then tanks flew from large planes toward the city center.
Cold War concerns about the containment of communism were a priority for President Dwight Eisenhower, who had been a prominent military general before becoming president. His concerns for increasing and strengthening America's national security gave impetus to the plan to create an interstate highway system.
Eisenhower, the former general, had seen how Germany's Autobahn system of highways had been an asset to their strength. He came to see highways as an important part of our country's national defense. When Eisenhower gave a speech to Congress in 1955, to promote the building of a federal highway system, he listed safety on the roads and economic advantages as strong reasons for the huge project. But he also listed a national security reason, saying: "In case of an atomic attack on our key cities, the road net must permit quick evacuation of target areas, mobilization of defense forces and maintenance of every essential economic function. But the present system in critical areas would be the breeder of a deadly congestion within hours of an attack" (Special Message to the Congress Regarding a National Highway Program, <span>February 22, 1955).

Explanation:
The rack is a torture device consisting of a rectangular, usually wooden frame, slightly raised from the ground,[1] with a roller at one or both ends. The victim's ankles are fastened to one roller and the wrists are chained to the other. As the interrogation progresses, a handle and ratchet mechanism attached to the top roller are used to very gradually retract the chains, slowly increasing the strain on the prisoner's shoulders, hips, knees, and elbows and causing excruciating pain. By means of pulleys and levers this roller could be rotated on its own axis, thus straining the ropes until the sufferer's joints were dislocated[1] and eventually separated. Additionally, if muscle fibres are stretched excessively, they lose their ability to contract, rendering them ineffective.
The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the united states.
