The United States did not complain as there were at the time fears of a war between U.S. and the Soviets. John F.Kennedy is quoted as having said:"A wall is much better than a war".
Jews, disabled people, Gypsies, Roma, and many other ethnic minorities.
<span>The United States primary contribution to the Allied war effort in the First World War was sending troops to France to fight the Germans. The US supplied most of the transport & merchant shipping to move the troops. The US also supplied escort ships for these convoys. The US also supplied food, ammunition, and other supplies to the Allies. Although the US Navy sent ships to operate with the British Royal Navy, there were very few that engaged in combat. There was very extensive ground combat for American Army & the few Marine troop sent to France. They used both American, British & French equipment. American pilots were trained in France to fly French-made aircraft (some British-made aircraft were also used). No American made aircraft were used in the war in Europe.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is <em>Government troops helped put down both strikes</em>
Explanation:
The fact that government troops had to be called in to end both strikes is perhaps one of the only commonality between both these incidents.
The Great Railroad Strike began on the 14th of July 1877 as the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has reduced the wages of it's workers for three consecutive years.
The Strike started in Martinsburg but quickly spread to New York, Illinois, Maryland etc. After 45 days, the strike ended as local militias and government troops were brought in. At the end, over a 100 people lost their lives.
The Homestead Strike began in June 1892 when workers protested to the reduced wages being proposed by the Carnegie Steel Company in the town of Homestead. The strike was proposed by a Union and the manager of the steel plant was determined to end it. Eventually, the company hired detectives to protect the plant and an armed battle began.
Government troops were eventually called in and the strike was broken.
