History

The American Civil War is considered the first modern world for multiple reasons. Advances in technology made it possible to inflict mass casualties. Rifles were more accurate, took less loading time, and the bullets were more devastating in their effects. Earthworks were dug as barriers from direct gun and shellfire. Ironclad ships and the first submarines were used.

Other reasons that this war is considered the first modern war, was that it was possible, because of the railroads and telegraphs, to communicate in a timely manner, in different parts of the country. The war was widespread and communication was vital, whether it was to let someone know that they were getting new supplies of Enfield rifles, to alerting a commander that the opposition was changing position and heading to a new target.

Photography and reporting were extensive in this conflict, bringing the modern horrors of the battlefield into the homes of non-combatants. Everyone was effected or participated in the war. From the destruction of the South to the poor conditions of prison camps, this war touched almost everyone, in some way.

Goryan [66]
I would say true because this was the time of "boom", as we called it.

A lot of mass production and all that ( More making  cars, food, and lots more )

After that, however, was around the Great Depression, when lot's of things and people were lost.

Glad I could help, and good luck!

Why was Suleiman's failure to take Vienna pivotal for Europe?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Because it stopped further Ottoman spreading in Central and Western Europe.

Explanation:

Suleiman is regarded as the greatest of the Ottoman sultans. Since he arrived on the throne, he managed to spread his country. In 1521 he conquered Belgrade, and after the battle of Mohacs he managed to open the door towards the capital of Habsburg Monarchy.

Still, as he didn't managed to conquer the capital, he had to retreat. His failure to capture Vienna, prevented the Ottomans to spread their domain across the Europe.

valina [46]

Answer:

Kipling clearly liked the idea of enslaving the people of one Asian country on the other side of the world. The White Man's Burden was written with the sole intention of persuading Americans not to give freedom to the Philippines. On the other hand the political cartoon is obviously is showing that the white man is carrying all other races on his back, and that without him they wouldn't prosper.

Explanation:

This poem was once very popular. It was written in 1899, at a time when Filipinos were fighting for independence from the United States of America. Many readers today are probably not aware of the fact that the United States colonized the Philippines.

Poem is, by modern standards, extremely offensive. The author calls the population of another race "freshly caught, frowned upon people" who are "half devil and half children." He criticizes them for not accepting white people as "better than themselves" and those who "brought them to the light of day" by colonization.

"White man's burden" is a term synonymous with English imperialism and racism in the English-speaking world today.
