1. Why is the United States interested in oil in the Middle East?

History
1 answer:
Bas_tet [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

United States has about 25 billion barrels worth of proven oil reserves in US soil. The United States on average per year uses about 6.7 billion barrels of oil in vehicle fuel, certain liquid products, make technology, etc. That generates the oil industry about $750-800 billion dollars worth of oil. US already controls oil reserves in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE. That's why those countries have developed so much after the Gulf War. This can gain massive profits to oil companies around Western nations. Gas companies like BP, ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, HESS, and so much other companies. Controlling middle eastern oil reserves promises Western oil industry humongous profits and promising futures for the next 50-60 years. Most people don't notice this. But the war benefits us a lot. The war also helps gains in weapons industry,keep dollar value, etc.

Sorry if confusing. May have left out some info. This is me trying to simplify everything. US Middle East interests is a very long a complex history.

Honest answer is oil. Yes, we have seven times the reserves here, but the left refuses to let us explore and develop that oil. In the USA we have over 400 years of oil in the Green River reserve alone.

I am not sure if this is what you want but hope this helps

Constant exploration, new settlements and trade provided new economic opportunitities. At some moment, beyond the traditional settlement of poor immigrants from the British islands and other parts of Europe, the colonial authorities encouraged the migration of rich people to take advantage of opportunities of growing trade and in farming in new lands.

Who were actively opposing to the progressive agenda
Aleksandr [31]

Conservatives were actively opposing to the progressive agenda.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Progressive agenda was formed to uplift the people of all class not just focusing on a particular class of people. It was formed to raise the standard of the working class so that they had some savings for their future. The conservatives criticized the progressiveness.

Conservatives found that it was degrading the society because of its modern culture eventually killing traditionalism. Humanism was placed as the center topic where they felt rights and modernism will eventually kill literature and it would give wings to everyone so that each one follow their own rule not falling into the constituency.
