History

The jury did not disappoint him. Scopes was found guilty and fined $100 (almost $1,300 in today's money). The Tennessee Supreme Court later upheld the constitutionality of the statute but overturned Scopes' conviction on a technicality. Bryan, meanwhile, died only five days after the conclusion of the Monkey Trial.

The Scopes "Monkey Trial" was a famous legal case in the United States that put the Butler Act to the test, which established that it was illegal in every educational establishment of the state of Tennessee "the teaching of any theory that denies the history of the Divine Creation of the man as it is explained in the Bible, and replace it with the teaching that man descends from an order of inferior animals". It is the most resounding legal case in the history of the ideological battle between creationism and evolutionism.

John Scopes, a high school teacher, was accused on May 5, 1925 of teaching evolution using a chapter of a textbook that was based on ideas inspired by Charles Darwin's book The Origin of Species. The trial involved two of the most brilliant lawyers of the time. On the one hand William Jennings Bryan, member of the congress, former Secretary of State, and three times presidential candidate was in charge of the prosecution and accusation, while the prominent litigation lawyer Clarence Darrow led the defense.

The process attracted enormous attention from the press (which was what immediately called it "the monkey's trial") and from the American public, especially when the famous lawyer Clarence Darrow agreed to defend the defendant. Despite his brilliant final plea, Scopes was convicted by the Court, albeit only a symbolic fine and not a prison sentence as requested by the prosecutor.

What was an effect of World War I? Europe struggled to recover from a "Lost Generation." The German economy recovered quickly. T
Elan Coil [88]
The correct answer is "Europe struggled to recover from a lost generation."

After World War I, the Germany economy was in ruins. This is because they were held responsible for the beginning of the war and were forced to pay reparations (as decided in the Treaty of Versailles).

On the other end of the world, the US had a booming economy right after World War I. The 1920's in the US was an era of economic prosperity in which individuals had more disposable income to buy goods/materials.

France and Great Britain still remain allies after this war, as they both have a common goal of recovering from the war and ensuring Germany does not gain significant political power.

This leaves the first statement. The "Lost Generation" is a phrase used to display how a significant amount of the population was lost during the war due to the high number of deaths in World War I.
