Specifically, the Battle of the Coral Sea prevented the Japanese carriers Shōkaku and Zuikaku from joining in the Battle of Midway one month later.
The Zimmerman Note was a note sent from Germany to Mexico asking Mexico to align itself with German interests. If the US entered the war and if Mexico opposed the US, the reward would be Arizona California and one other state -- perhaps Texas. It was a major contributor to the declaration of war on Germany by America.
The sinking of the Lusitania was another major event. When the Lusitania was sunk, 2000 people were affected.
Submarine warfare really aggravated the US. Many merchant ships were sunk.
Answer: B
The 18th Century Age of Enlightenment in Scotland is universally acknowledged as a cultural phenomenon of international significance, and philosophy equally
widely regarded as central to it. In point of fact, the expression ‘Scottish Philosophy’ only came into existence in 1875 with a book of that title by James McCosh, and the term ‘Scottish Enlightenment’ made an even later appearance (in 1904). Nevertheless, the two terms serve to identify an astonishing ferment of intellectual activity in 18th century Scotland, and a brilliant array of philosophers and thinkers. Chief among these, after Hutcheson, were George Turnbull, Adam Smith, Adam Ferguson, Hugh Blair, William Robertson and of course, David Hume. Hume apart, all these figures were university teachers who also actively contributed to the intellectual
inquiries of their time. Most of them were also clergymen. This second fact made the Scottish Age of Enlightenment singularly different from its cultural counterparts in France and Germany, where ‘enlightenment’ was almost synonymous with the rejection of religion. By contrast, Hutcheson, Reid, Campbell, Robertson and Blair were highly respected figures in both the academy and the church, combining a commitment to the Christian religion with serious engagement in the newest intellectual inquiries. These inquiries, to which Hume was also major contributor, were all shaped by a single aspiration – a science of human nature. It was the aim of all these thinkers to make advances in the human sciences equivalent to those that had been made in the natural sciences, and to do so by deploying the very same methods, namely the scientific methodology of Francis Bacon and Sir Isaac Newton
President Johnson envisioned an American society in which poverty and racial discrimination were eliminated. Along with this, he also discussed the need for the conservation of nature, help to the elderly/underprivileged, and the development of America's education system. All of these were admirable goals. However, it would be considered unrealistic to get rid of poverty and racial discrimination as a whole. This would involve a significant amount of government support and a complete cultural change of all American citizens.
Despite not being able to accomplish these goals, this program did receive significant praise because it improved the quality of life for millions of Americans. With programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, individuals who before could not afford medical treatment were now able to see doctors. This also resulted in the free/reduced lunch program which to this day still provides meals for millions of underprivileged students.
