In virtue of the World War Adjusted Compensation Act, U.S. World War I veterans were granted certificates, or bonuses,  for their service in the Armed Forces during the Great War to be redeemed in 1945. Due to the onset of the Depression, in 1932, a large group of veterans out of jobs and desperate to get some money to support their families, marched to Washington D.C. where they camped in order to request the government to honor the bonuses well ahead of their redemption date. The government refused and had U.S. Army units remove the demonstrators by the force of arms, including six tanks, resulting in two World War I veterans killed and over a thousand injured. Four years later the Congress ordered the payment of the certificates nine years before their redemption date.

Review President Wilson’s 1917 speech. What is his reason for requesting to declare war?
aksik [14]

Answer:

He believes that German aggression is a threat to world peace.

Explanation:

When World War I began on July 28, 1914, America decided to stay away from the conflict. It was a European war, it was not an American concern. However, the events that subsequently occurred between 1915 and 1917 proved to President Woodrow Wilson that neutrality is not so easy to maintain when you are in a war. German begin to attack every vessel that was sailing in the Atlantic, no matter if they were a cargo ship or a passenger ship, they were deliberated bombarded and sunk. In February 1917 it was discovered that German was announcing unrestricted laws for its submarines, and they were allowed to bombard and sunk any vessel that patrol the Atlantic. This threat to peace led Wilson to declare war.

What did people use for shelter in the Paleolithic Age?
rosijanka [135]
Much of the time shelter was similar to a wigwam. Sticks laid to make a circular hut which was then covered with hides or materials such as brush, cattails, hay, etc. Tents were simply a more portable and temporary version. Winter encampments had better structures. This was where people spent the cold weather and were built to withstand it. You could find pit houses.  Caves big enough to shelter a number of people were relatively rare. More often was the rock shelter. This had South facing exposure and an overhang of rock. One excavated French site showed that logs were piled against the rock and then covered. The covering was hides as many anchor stores were found along where the logs were. The inside was covered with seaweed. Communal living was common. You could pool resources and labor to build it and having multiple people in the same shelter provided additional heat.  <span>Remember that people didn't have the central heated, storm proof housing we enjoy. They were more acclimatized to cold weather and what we today think of as harsh conditions.</span>
