2. Political and Corporate corruption.

Along with the expansion and prosperity that came with the U.S. developments in industrialization, also came with unfair business practices, enrichment of corrupt politicians and corporations at the expense of the lower class and the factory workers.

The Progressive Movement emerged in the 1890s and continued until the 1920s as a response to all these injustices. Progressive reformers consistently worked to make social and political reforms that improved society by exposing corruption in both government and big business, regulating private industry, strengthening protections for workers and consumers, among others.

3. Archaeologists found stones bearing carvings of humans that predate the crossing of the strait... This would men that those who made the carvings on the stone were not descendants of those who crossed the Bering Strait, since the crossing of the Bering Strait occurred after the carvings were made

4. Archaeologists found remains of human-made objects such as weapons that predate the crossing of the strait... Just as the first one, this implies that those who made the objects did not descend from those who crossed the Bering Strait.

What was one of the main reasons Hoover lost the election of 1932?

Makovka662 [10]

One of the main reasons Hoover lost the election of 1932 was that voters were angered by protectionist measures that inhibited foreign trade. Option B is correct.

During the elections held in 1932, Hoover was defeated by a large margin by Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt. One of the main reasons which led to this result was that the United States' economy after the Great Depression was weak and in shambles.

Herbert Clark Hoover was president of the United States from 1929 to 1933.

What two things were accomplished in the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty II signed by President Carter and Premier Brezhnev?

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty II aimed to:

b. Banned any new development of nuclear weapons

d. Managed to reduce the size of their nuclear arsenals

Explanation:

The Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty II or SALT II was the continuation of a previous attempt to regulate the nuclear arms threat between the US and the USSR. This happened during a period known as the Cold War where the world was divided into 2 blocks competing for power: the Capitalist block led by the US, and the Communist block led by the USSR.

Both countries had developed large arsenals of nuclear weapons and a war between them would've had catastrophic consequences. Talks between President Jimmy Carter and Premier Brezhnev began in November 1974. They agreed to: limit the size of their nuclear arsenals, limit the development of new weapons, and limit the deployment of new offensive weapons.

The treaty was signed on June 18, 1979.
