Answer:

A. anti-American feelings

Explanation:

The Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, was overthrown in 1979 by the Iranian Revolution. The Shah Reza Pahlavi had the support of Western powers like the US, the UK, and Germany, that made Iran one of the main allies of the US in the Middle East against the expansion of the Soviet Union. During the years previous to the revolution there were a series of uprisings and social discontent due to the big economic inequality of the Iranian society and the strong control exerted by the Shah's government. This discontent was capitalized by Ayatollah Khomeini, a religious leader that called the opposition to unite in order to overthrow the Shah using strong anti-American rhetoric. After the revolution succeeded, Ayatollah Khomeini established an Islamic theocratic dictatorship. In this context, the diplomatic body of the American embassy in Tehran was taken as hostages by the revolutionaries who followed the Anti-American feeling fueled by Ayatollah Khomeini.

Why do you think that reagan switched party affiliations in the 1950s?.
Degger [83]

Two very particular issues drove Reagan's political conversion: fiscal policy and anti-communism. In the late 1940s, Reagan was facing the end of his career as a movie actor and was finding less and less work. He was upset because he felt that he had only a short window to maximize his earnings and ensure his future financial security and that the present 90% top marginal rate was unreasonable.

Reagan's experience as a board member and later president of the Screen Actors Guild also moved him politically rightward. In this professional capacity he dealt with a strike by a set builder union backed by communist sympathizers.

What do you think would have happened if Otto Esche’s ideas to use Bactrian Camels to transport salt would have worked out?
KatRina [158]

If Otto Esche’s idea to use Bactrian Camels to transport salt would have worked out, there would have been a mad rush to the British Columbia, Canada area. The economy for the province would have more than likely boomed, creating a wealthy area. Salt was a very expensive, yet useful commodity as it was used to preserve meats and cure leather. This made it invaluable during this time period. It could also help to sustain soldiers during war (circa Civil War).
