Name and describe at least two settlements that were not considered part of Texas in the 1820s. Since they were not part of Texa
Romashka [77]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The two settlements that were not considered part of Texas in the 1820s, since they were not part of Texas, were Laredo, which was part of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, and  El Paso, which was part of the Mexican state of Chihuahua.

At that time the region of Texas was called Mexican Texas and was comprised of the territories of Texas and Coahuila. This period started in 1821 and ended in 1836 when Texas gained its independence from Mexico. The Republic of Texas existed from 1836 to 1845, when on December 29, 1845, Texas entered the Union.

Look at the descriptions of each leader in the table. Add the name of the correct leader next to each description. You’ve alread
Shtirlitz [24]

Here are your matches:

<u>Ronald Reagan</u>

  • I challenged the Soviet Union to tear down the Berlin Wall.  I also maintained a hard line against communism.

<u>Dwight D. Eisenhower</u>

  • My administration created the idea of brinkmanship--going to the brink of nuclear war to achieve our aims.

<u>Margaret Thatcher</u>

  • I was good friends with leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States and helped end the Cold War by bringing them together.

<u>Nikita Khrushchev</u>

  • I pulled missiles out of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and prevented the Cold War from escalating into a nuclear war.

<u>Harry S. Truman</u>

  • I made the decision to drop the atomic bomb, but I also became known for Marshall Plan and the doctrine of containment.

<u>Josef Stalin</u>

  • I began the Cold War in Europe by creating the Communist Bloc.  I also stole atomic secrets from the United States and built my own bomb, thus escalating tension in the early Cold War.

<u>Mikhail Gorbachev</u>

  • My policies were designed to give more personal and economic freedom to people in the Soviet Union.  I had good relations with many leaders in the Western Bloc.

A bit of added detail:

I'd like to explain more about one item in the list above -- the policy of "brinkmanship" during the Eisenhower administration.

John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under US President Dwight Eisenhower. Dulles held the office from 1953 to 1959.  He wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan.   Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain  communist aggression when it occurred.

Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinkmanship."  In an article in <em>LIFE </em>magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art."  He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Option: an American plane was shot down

Explanation:

In the 1960s, the Soviet Union shot down a U-2 spy plane and captured Pilot Gary Francis Powers. The United States denied the aircraft used for surveillance. The Soviet, with the capture of the pilot and wreckage, declared part of the CIA. At last Dwight D. Eisenhower forced to admit that it had been spying on the Soviet. Tensions from the incident were high when Eisenhower and Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev arrived in Paris to begin a summit. Khrushchev wasted no time in blaming the United States.

Firdavs [7]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

A pesar de que no anexas opciones o incisos para responder a la pregunta, podemos comentar lo siguiente.

La teoría autoctonista afirma que el hombre apareció en América del Sur (meridional) y de ahí se propago por el mundo.

Esta teoría fue planteada por el antropólogo y científico argentino Florentino Ameghino (1854-1911). Este antropólogo afirmaba que el hombre apareció en América como parte de la evolución natural, y a partir de ahí fue poblando otras regiones.

Para sustentar su teoría, escribió sus conclusiones en el libro titulado "Antigüedad del Hombre en el Plata."

La teoría más aceptada de cómo apareció el hombre en el continente Americano es la llamada Teoría del Estrecho de Bering, que afirma que los primeros humanos cruzaron a través del estrecho de Bering que conectaba los territorios asiático de lo que ahora es Rusia, con Alaska.
