Answer:

-The stock market crash of 1929.

- Banking panics and monetary contraction

- The gold standard (As the United States experienced declining output and deflation, it tended to run a trade surplus with other countries because Americans were buying fewer imported goods, while American exports were relatively cheap. Such imbalances gave rise to significant foreign gold outflows to the United States, which in turn threatened to devalue the currencies of the countries whose gold reserves had been depleted. Accordingly, foreign central banks attempted to counteract the trade imbalance by raising their interest rates, which had the effect of reducing output and prices and increasing unemployment in their countries. )

- Decreased international lending and tariffs.

Explanation:

The term New Deal derives from Franklin Roosevelt’s 1932 speech accepting the Democratic Party’s nomination for president. At the convention Roosevelt declared, “I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people.” Though Roosevelt did not have concrete policy proposals in mind at the time, the phrase "New Deal" came to encompass his many programs designed to lift the United States out of the Great Depression.

The New Deal created a broad range of federal government programs that sought to offer economic relief to the suffering, regulate private industry, and grow the economy. The New Deal is often summed up by the “Three Rs”:

- relief (for the unemployed)

- recovery (of the economy through federal spending and job creation), and

- reform (of capitalism, by means of regulatory legislation and the creation of new social welfare programs).

write a paragraph explaining what lessons can be learned from the McCarthy era about what the U.S citizens need to protect in or
Vlad1618 [11]

The McCarthy Era was one of the darkest periods in U.S. history.  The government was so intent on flushing out communism that they disregarded the rights of its citizens.  It was a terrible time to be different or speak against the government.  Those who did were already put under suspicion.  Many who were put on the blacklist during that time suffered a lot.  Some lost their careers while others were imprisoned over hyped-up charges.  If there was anything we need to learn is that we need to protect our freedoms of speech, the right to fair trial and the right not to be subjected to unlawful arrest.

blsea [12.9K]
When the Japanese empire was dismantled at the end of World War Two, Korea fell victim to the Cold War. It was divided into two spheres of influence along the 38th parallel. The Americans controlled south of the line - the Russians installed a communist regime in the north, later ceding influence to China.
