Causes of the Revolutionary War

The American people were strongly independent. They wanted to do things for themselves. Great Britain was a long way away. The American people didn't want people an ocean away telling them how to live their lives.
The British government decided to make the American colonies pay a large share of the war debt from the French and Indian War.
Through the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and other taxes, the British tried to collect taxes that the American people considered harsh.
The American people also thought that they should be able to send their own people to Britain's Parliament or at least vote for Britain's lawmakers.
The combination of the harsh taxes and the lack of an American voice in Parliament gave rise to the famous phrase "taxation without representation."
Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, and others called for an independent America, colonies free from British rule and interference.
Americans started stockpiling guns and ammunition in violation of British laws. Their defense of such a stockpile led to the shots fired at Lexington and Concord and the beginning of the Revolutionary War.

How did the reality of combat in World War I compare to the beliefs and attitudes many Europeans had about war before fighting b
koban [17]

Answer:

The reality of war was in stark contrast to the previous beliefs and attitudes Europeans had.

Explanation:

Pre-war Europe included many nations that celebrated their military. To fight was to be honorable and glorious. However, in the Great War, warfare was much more gruesome than previously. The introduction of gas attacks, trench warfare, and other technological/military "improvements" caused lives to be needlessly lost for little to nothing in advancements. During and after the war, people began to realize that it wasn't worth it and the youth suffered terribly.

What is the only penalty that can be imposed on someone who is impeached
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

removal from office and disqualification from holding another federal position

Explanation:

The United States Constitution provides that the House of Representatives "shall have the sole Power of Impeachment" ( Article I, section 2 ) and that "the Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments…[but] no person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present" ( Article I, section 3 ). The president, vice president, and all civil officers of the United States can all be subjected to impeachment processes.

The penalty arrived at after the impeachment proceedings can't be forfeiture of life, liberty, or property. According to the United States Constitution, the only penalties allowed are removal from public position and disqualification from holding any other federal position in the future.

Savatey [412]

It showed a shift to a more aggressive stance in the fight for civil rights.  Previous civil rights advocates like Martin Luther King advocated reconciliation and non-violence.  Malcolm X called for a war against their oppressors as well as a separate Black nation.  The Black Panthers also had a similar belief which led them to come in conflict with law enforcement.
