1 answer:
likoan [24]3 years ago
7 0

Thaddeus Lowe's operations in his ground service's first months indicate considerable improvement in developing and understanding the observation balloon a significant and useful complement to the army service. He favored the captive balloons because:

  • He showed that a captive balloon could be efficiently and safely propelled to and from different locations, and that the senior officers could take measurements from virtually any appropriate point chosen.
  • The civil war time duration 1861 to 1863, encouraged him to experiment and make success of captive balloons, here his motivation raised as he was self made scientist and aeronaut.
  • He was attempting to study medicine to satisfy the wishes of his grandmother, but the boredom diverted him to his first passion, aviation using lighter-than-air gases.

Which of the following is considered to be a "fundamental" rather than "immediate" cause of world war 1
Nuetrik [128]

Correct answer:  C. Formation of secret alliances

The other items all fall more into the category of "immediate causes."

Explanation:

Pre-war alliances between European nations were made in secret and elevated diplomatic tensions within those governments.   Or sometimes the fact that alliances were being made was announced publicly -- but the negotiations about the alliances were conducted behind closed doors.  And often the terms of the alliances were kept secret, so that only the parties involved knew the full details.  This business of conspiring and posturing in regard to alliances contributed to an attitude of escalating nervousness and tension as the nations of Europe maneuvered for strength over against their perceived adversaries.  This was a fundamental problem that lay behind the ultimate outbreak of the Great War  (as World War I was called at the time it occurred).
