ANSWER:

The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan.

EXPLANATION:

In the year 1978,Afghanistan adjoined few of the southern Soviet republics of the USSR, causing it easy for Moscow to finance a communist-led government led by Taraki when it gained power in Kabul in April 1978.Various common Afghans refused the new communist government because its atheism was had differences with their Muslim faith. The communists detained, wounded and assassinated many Muslim religious leaders. This led to the formation of an anti-communist stand known as the Mujahideen.

In September 1979 the Afghan politician, Amin, prepared for the murder of the communist Prime Minister, Taraki, and Amin won control. Amin entered into talks with the US.

This alarmed the USSR who didn’t need American impact on their Southern border. On 24 December 1979, Soviet troops attacked Afghanistan. Amin was killed and a pro-Moscow leader, Babrak Karmal, was introduced in his place.

Observing the circumstances in Afghanistan as an extension of the Cold War, the US backed the Mujahideen against their old enemy, the USSR, and refused to sign SALT II.

Which of the following was not a purpose of wartime propaganda?
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

To create public sympathy for wartime opponents.

Explanation:

Wartime propaganda can be defined as ideas, informations, allegations, or facts that are spread deliberately and methodically by a party, so as to demoralize, confuse and further it's cause against the enemy.

This ultimately implies that, wartime propaganda is focused on annihilating the will of an opponent to continue fighting in a war by ensuring that their morale is demoralized and broken down.

Hence, creating public sympathy for wartime opponents was not a purpose of wartime propaganda.

The man who wrote the Kansas-Nebraska Act was Stephen Douglas. What was his purpose in authoring such a law?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:  Senator Stephen Douglas proposed the bill that became the Kansas-Nebraska Act as a way of getting southern support for Nebraska  statehood.  Douglas was seeking to bring Nebraska into the Union in order to bring those lands under government authority and lay the groundwork for building a Midwestern route of transcontinental railroad that would run to Chicago and benefit his state (Illinois).  The compromise to gain support from the South was to create two states, Nebraska and Kansas, and allow voters in those areas to choose whether they'd be slave or free. The thought was that Kansas might end up as a slave state and Nebraska as a free state, thus maintaining the balance between free and slave states.

Further detail:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act was enacted by Congress in 1854. It granted popular sovereignty to the people in the Kansas and Nebraska territories, letting them decide whether they'd allow slavery.  In essence, this made the Kansas-Nebraska act a repeal of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had said there would be no slavery north of latitude 36°30´ except for Missouri.

After the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed into Kansas to try to sway the outcome of the issue, and violence between the two sides occurred.  The term "bleeding Kansas" was used because of the bloodshed.  Kansas and Nebraska ended up as free states, but the Kansas-Nebraska Act had allowed the possibility that slavery could become slave states.
