Nazi leaders used <em>Kristallnacht </em>to their advantage by blaming the Jews for the violence that had occurred, and beginning a campaign of putting Jews into concentration camps.
Context/details:
In November, 1938, there was rampant destruction of Jewish-owned businesses and synagogues and violence against Jewish people. This occurred on the night of November 9 going on into November 10, 1938, and was called "<em>Kristallnacht,</em>" or "The Night of Broken Glass." It was public violence by masses of people, not a specific campaign ordered by the Nazi regime. However, Nazi officials did tell police and firefighters to do nothing -- to let the violence and destruction occur. The next day, Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of propaganda, said that this sort of eruption against the Jews was natural and understandable. He said: "It is an intolerable state of affairs that within our borders and for all these years hundreds of thousands of Jews still control whole streets of shops, populate our recreation spots and, as foreign apartment owners, pocket the money of German tenants, while their racial comrades abroad agitate for war against Germany."
In the days after <em>Kristallnacht, </em>the Nazi government said that the Jewish community itself was responsible for all the damage and destruction, and imposed enormous fines against the Jewish community. They also arrested more than 30,000 Jewish men and sent them to concentration camps which were built to incarcerate Jews and any others that the Nazis perceived to be enemies of the German state.
Answer:
The treaty was an important diplomatic success for the United States. It resolved territorial disputes between the two countries and granted American ships the right to free navigation of the Mississippi River as well as duty-free transport through the port of New Orleans, then under Spanish control.
Answer:
The Soviet Union developed its own atomic bomb.
Explanation:
Among the world leaders, the United States was the first to develop and even test out its nuclear weapon. The attack of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the Second World War helped project the US as the most powerful power.
But the development of nuclear arms by the Soviet Union led to competition for the world power. The Soviets developed their own atomic bomb and tested its very first atomic bomb in 1949. This nuclear test codenamed "<em>RDS-1" or "First Lightning"</em> at the Semipalatinsk test site in what is now modern-day Kazakhstan led to the race for power especially between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
Answer:
The USA were more so ideologically driven by 1945.
Explanation:
In 1939, the USA and USSR, alongside other powers (ie. Great Britain), were united against a common enemy: Adolf Hitler. This incentivised all countries to put their differences aside and unite against Hitler, in order to end the rule of one of the largest threats of the 20th century. Thus, in 1939, the USA were largely cooperative and cordial.
By 1945, once Hitler and the Nazis’ rule was over, albeit the USA attempted to keep strong ties with countries such as the USSR (seen with US President Roosevelt’s friendship with USSR leader Joseph Stalin), ultimately, USA’s next steps were becoming increasingly dependent on the USA’s ideological differences to that of the USSR, bearing in mind the USA were capitalist and the USSR were communist/ Marxist- Leninist. This is evidenced with Truman (Roosevelt’s successor as US President)’s approach to the USSR at the Potsdam conference from the 17th July- 2nd August 1945.
Hope this helps! :)
