Which of these focused attention on the nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union?

The Cuban Missile Crisis. The fear on both sides was that someone would push a button and all out war (perhaps the end of the planet as we understand it) would result. Both countries had ICBMs but America's were better. They could hit Russia. Russia had no real answer and Cuba is too small a defensive position. So Khrushchev blinked and took his threat home. It didn't take her long to catch up but by that time the political situation altered.

Why do you think Kennedy’s election made Americans optimistic?

Mkey [24]

Answer: They were optimistic about the economy. 64% said that local business conditions would be good that year. And that attitude prevailed throughout the year. Two-thirds (68%) said they were satisfied with their income. Many credited the president. By a margin of 50% to 37%, the public thought Kennedy kept his promise to stimulate economic growth.

1. Type your reasons the war party had for supporting independence. 2. Type your reasons the peace party had for supporting Grea

mariarad [96]

I am not familiar with these terms, but if by “war party” you mean Patriots fighting from independence from Great Britain and by “peace party” you mean Loyalists supporting Great Britain, then hopefully this helps :)

War Party/Patriots:
-felt they were being treated unfairly by the British
-did not want to be taxed without even being given the opportunity to have proper representation in government aka Parliament
-during the Boston Massacre, rowdy Patriots mocked British soldiers stationed in Boston. The British soldiers responded with gunfire, killing a few people. This attack further spurred on the Patriots’ desire for freedom.

Peace Party/Loyalists:
-believed there was no point in fighting against the mightiest nation w/ a big, trained militia who have the proper resources and experience to fight
-they felt that life would be better under England’s rule. Since they were already an established country, it would be simpler to just obey King George.
-the colonies would profit from trade w/ England
-believed the American colonies would be weak without the leadership and strength of Great Britain to guide them

Although never actually mailed, Sullivan Ballou´s letter, written to his wife, Sarah, shortly before he was mortally injured, made him a well-known character of the Civil War. Sarah did receive other letters from her husband, but this one was only found among Sullivan's belongings after Governor William Sprague of Rhode Island went to Virginia to recover the remains of his state's citizens fallen in battle.
