Answer:

The Bay of Pigs Invasion was a failure that was an embarrassment for the Kennedy administration.

Explanation:

The Bay of Pigs Invasion was a military operation launched in April 1961 by anti-Castro troops trained by the US secret service to overthrow the Cuban government, organized by the CIA.  

Preparations for the military action began during Dwight D. Eisenhower's presidency, but the execution came during John Fitzgerald Kennedy's administration. Long before operations began, intelligence warned Kennedy that the success of the operation was questionable, with the majority of Cuban civilians backing Fidel Castro. The Soviet secret services also became aware of the US action and provided detailed information to the Cuban regime.

After the operation began, Castro mobilized not only the army but also the civilian population with lightning-fast weapons against landed invaders, who were pushed into the sea in less than two days.

The CIA sought volunteers for the action among Cuban refugees fleeing to the United States, who were later trained in camps in Guatemala, Puerto Rico, and Nicaragua. 1500 people formed the Brigade 2506, receiving instructions like artillery, paratroopers, pilots, etc.

The invasion completely collapsed within 24 hours. Castro mobilized 25,000 regular soldiers, 9,000 police officers and about 200,000 irregular civilian militiamen against the invaders. With such an overpowering, a handful of armed invaders could not fight.

What is political ideology, and how does it affect political behavior and influence public policy?
Cerrena [4.2K]
Political ideology is a more or less consistent set of believes about policies government to pursue. Political scientists measure the extent to which people have a political ideology by seeing how frequently people use brought political categories (such as liberal and conservative) to describe their own views or to justify their preferences for candidates and policies. They also measure it by saying to what extent the policy preferences of a Citizen are consistent over time or based at any one time on consistent principles. Many scholars believe that Americans are becoming more ideological. On many issues, for example, the policy preferences of average Republican and Democratic voters now differ significantly from one another. There is clear evidence of political elites are more ideological today than they were just a generation or two ago the government attends more to elite views than to popular views, at least on many matters.

Why did france grant independence to morocco and tunisia in 1956 but not to algeria?
Marrrta [24]
That is because Algeria had millions of French citizens on its soil. They wanted to keep a close eye on these people and needed to fight nationalists who wanted to get Algerian independence while often harming French people, so they decided to keep Algeria a colony in order to monitor these people and protect them.

How did mercantilism and transatlantic trade lead to the development of colonies.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Parliament's decision to regulate transatlantic commerce with its American colonies was motivated by mercantilism. All shipments to or from British North America had to be made on British ships, and any shipments bound for Europe had to first arrive in Britain in order to be taxed there. Only to Britain might certain products be shipped.

Concept(s):

  • Mercantilism

- Mercantile system, a system or political and economic policy, evolving with the modern state and seeking to secure a nation's political and economic supremacy in it's rivalry with other states. According to this system, money was regarded as a store of wealth, and the goal of a state was the accumulation of precious metals, by exporting the largest possible quantity of its products and importing as little as possible, thus establishing a favorable balance of trade.

  • Transatlantic

- Crossing or reaching across the Atlantic; situated beyond the Atlantic.

Explanation:

<em>What is the connection between mercantilism and colonialism?</em>

Colonialism was viewed as an outgrowth of mercantilism in the 18th century. According to marchantilism, every nation should make an effort to increase exports while reducing imports. The purpose of colonies was to complement the goods that the colonizer could generate on its own.

All trade related to colonialism was mandated by the British, in particular, to go via England. Colonial traders were not permitted to make direct purchases or sales from suppliers or to any foreign clients. Additionally, colonists were not permitted to directly sell things made in the home nation. The British saw the entire empire as a closed system. The American colonists were aware that they were paying more for their purchases and receiving less money for their sales. This was one of the triggers for the American Revolution.

Even though the Americans prevailed in their battle, the mercantilist concept persisted. Until the European colonial system collapsed after World War II, every major imperialist power made an effort to prevent other countries from stealing resources from its colonies and mandated that colonialists be supplied by the home country in some way.

Thank you,

Eddie
