Answer:

The best answer to the question: Why did Whitney consider standardized parts, would be: he wanted to achieve an increase in the mass production of guns.

Explanation:

Eli Whitney is best known for his invention, at the age of 27, of the cotton gin machine. With it he made it possible for mass production of cotton in the U.S and made U.S cotton really competitive in international markets. However, he is also known for his venture into gun-machine production in the 19th century, as the U.S considered the possibility of entering war with France. The idea of standardized parts in gun-machine production had already been proposed by a French and an English inventors, but Whitney capitalized on it, and in doing so he was able to ensure that his unskilled workers, and he himself, who had never had experience with gun production, could meet the demands of the U.S government. With the use of the idea of standardized parts, Whitney was able to accomplish this multiplication of production in guns.

During the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, machines took over most of the manufacturing work from men, and factories replaced craftsmen’s workshops. The event that laid the groundwork for this monumental change was the introduction of interchangeable parts, or pre-manufactured parts that were for all practical purposes identical, into the firearms industry. Interchangeable parts, popularized in America when Eli Whitney used them to assemble muskets in the first years of the 19th century, allowed relatively unskilled workers to produce large numbers of weapons quickly and at lower cost, and made repair and replacement of parts infinitely easier.

Describe the complex cause and effect
iragen [17]

Answer: The answer is complex and not straightforward.

Explanation:

The article relates to Churchill and Roosevelt, so is probably dated from World War 2.

Given this and the reference to the use of force by aggressive nations it is reasonable to assume that this refers to the Axis nations and their allies, primarily Germany, Japan and Italy.

What is being referred to is reflected in the policies applied to Germany and Japan at the end of World War 2. (Italy had already switched sides and deposed Mussolini).

In the post war agreements drawn up, Germany and Japan were largely demilitarised with strict control over their armed forces. In the case of West Germany their limited armed forces existed only within the context of NATO to prevent any aggressive use as was evidenced at the beginning of World War 2.

In both instances these countries were not allowed to develop or possess nuclear weapons.

Until such time as there is a global disarmament treaty, as referred to in the article, then countries which are deemed "aggressive", the losers in a conflict, by others, the winners, have arms controls imposed.

Of course this does not and has not stopped the proliferation of weapons, and conflicts throughout the world since 1945, including the aggressive policies of countries such as the UK and the USA.
