Who is Joseph McCarthy, and what was his strategy in "rooting out" communists

History

gladu [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Joseph Raymond McCarthy was an American politician who served as a Republican U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957

Explanation:

Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public face of a period in the United States in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread Communist subversion. He is known for alleging that numerous Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers had infiltrated the United States federal government, universities, film industry, and elsewhere. Ultimately, the smear tactics that he used led him to be censured by the U.S. Senate. The term "McCarthyism", coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's practices, was soon applied to similar anti-communist activities. Today, the term is used more broadly to mean demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents.

Agriculture arose in North America (and western hemisphere more generally)
mart [117]

Answer:

The agriculture in the western hemisphere developed nearly simultaneously as in Asia/eastern hemisphere.

Explanation:

A is not correct because it was almost at the same time where agriculture started developing in both hemispheres, with the evidence suggesting a difference of only a few hundred years.

B is not correct because the western hemisphere would not have been able to produce any great civilizations if agriculture was not well developed and the basis of the economy.

C is correct because independently, at nearly the same time, the people living in both hemispheres started to plant and rise some of the wild plants that they thought have great potential, thus giving birth to agriculture.

D is not correct because the climate conditions in the western hemisphere at that time would not have allowed people to engage in agriculture, especially not in large scale agriculture and to be able to produce enough food for themselves and have a surplus.
