Answer:

cars

Explanation:

The construction of the Interstate Highway Network was authorized by the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, popularly known as the Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956.

It was a petition of the largest automobile manufacturers in the United States and promoted by President Dwight D. Eisenhower - influenced by his experiences as a young soldier crossing the United States in 1919 following the route of the Lincoln Highway and the knowledge of the motorway network German (Autobahnen) during World War II - as a necessary component of a national defense system. This would make possible a better displacement by land of troops and military supplies.

The design of a system of new superhighways began in the late 1930s, even before a federal committee formed to build the Interstate Highway System in the 1950s. In the 1920s, some roads, such as those in the New York area, were built as part of the local or state systems. As car traffic increased, there was a need for an interconnected national system that would complement the existing Federal Highway System of the United States. The publication of the Map of the Location of the Interstate Highway System is informally known as the Yellow Book Yellow Book.

The correct answer is cars.

The development of the Eisenhower Instate System during the 1950's resulted in the creation of an enormous amount of interconnected freeways and highways throughout the United States. With these new roads available, there was a significant increase in buying cars. This is because now citizens could travel from city to city and state to state on a much easier basis than ever before.

Soviet satellites formed in the eastern bloc. True or False
oee [108]

Answer:

<h2>True</h2>

Explanation:

Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania were the Soviet satellite states that formed in the Eastern bloc of Europe.  Those nations were part of the  Warsaw Pact, signed along with the Soviet Union in 1955.  The name of that pact stems from the facts that the agreement was signed in Warsaw, Poland.  Albania also was an original signer of the Warsaw Pact, but split its relationship with the Soviet Union some years later.

Prior to the end of World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and US President Franklin Roosevelt pushed strongly for Soviet leader Josef Stalin to allow free elections to take place in the nations of Europe after the war.  Stalin had stated agreement with his fellow Allied leaders. But after the war ended, Stalin and the Soviets never did allow those free elections to occur. The Soviets felt they needed the Eastern European nations as satellites to protect their own interests.   A line of countries in Eastern Europe came into line with the USSR and communism -- thus called "satellites."

Summarize what was the purpose of the homestead act
Grace [21]

Answer:

The Homestead Act was a law passed by Congress in 1862 that granted 160 acres of federal land to any U.S. citizen. An individual was given ownership of the land for free if that person lived on the land for five years and improved the land by building a home and producing a crop. The 1862 Homestead Act accelerated settlement of U.S. western territory by allowing any American, including freed slaves, to put in a claim for up to 160 free acres of federal land.
