How effective were unions in shaping political and economic policies?

History
1 answer:
Darina [25.2K]3 years ago
8 0

Unions were very effective in shaping political and economic policies. Even though their initial efforts did not have success in the late 19th century, their 20th century efforts changed America forever.

For example, the labor unions were able to get the government to pass laws regarding the 8 hour work day, the outlawing of child labor for kids under the age of 16, and the implementation of health and safety regulations to ensure that factory workers were in suitable conditions. Along with this, there are now federal agencies that to this day, continue to monitor businesses and their activities to ensure that they are not breaking any labor laws or health and safety regulations.

Identify and explain two outcomes of the implementation of the Phoenician alphabet on the Mediterranean region leading up to the
Marina86 [1]

Are you sure your question is correct? Because it is not chronologically logic. The implementation of the phoenician alphabet happened around 200 years after the collapse of the Bronze Age (c.a. 1200-1100 BC).

The collapse of the Bronze Age was one of the causes for the creation and success of Phoenician commerce, activity by which this civilization is famous for. It is not clear why, but around 1200 BC many civilizations suddenly ended. This vacuum of power created a new independence for many cities which made possible a new commerce system. Phoenicians traded with Mesopotamians, Greeks, and Egyptians. They had trading routes that reached Spain, the Atlantic Ocean and Britain. Trading lead to intercultural exchanges, so Phoenicians knew many types of writing, which they simplified to create their own alphabet (c.a. 1000 BC) based on sounds instead of symbols.  

The phoenician alphabet was used to organize their colonies and trading contacts on the Mediterranean region. As this alphabet was simpler, writing was no longer limited to clergymen or scribes. It also influenced Greek alphabet which inspired the latter roman alphabet.

What was the Soviet Union's plan for Germany, which differed greatly from the United State's plans, after World War II ended? Gr
amm1812

The plan of USSR was:

TO divide Germany to prevent it from waging war again.

Explanation:

The policy of the USSR was to divide Germany into pieces so that it would never wage wars again. Obviously, that was only the surface reasons given by the soviets.

The true reason was rather self serving.

  • The part of the East that Russia eventually got was to serve as the buffer for their territory and Europe.
  • They had a foothold in mainland Europe.
  • The state was Russian in all but name. They had complete control.

These were the reasons that made Russia come to the conclusion it did.

mojhsa [17]

Canada<span> was hit hard by the </span>Great Depression. The worldwide depression that started in the United States in late 1929 quickly reached Canada. Between 1929 and 1939, the gross domestic product dropped 40% (compared to 37% in the US). Unemployment reached 27% at the depth of the Depression in 1933. Many companies closed, as corporate profits of $398 million in 1929 turned into losses of $98 million as prices fell. Farmers in the Prairies were hit especially hard by the collapse of wheat prices. Despite the emergence of numerous radical parties, the government was run by the major parties. The Depression ended in 1939 as World War II began.<span>[1]</span>
