Answer:

In Article 5 of the German-Soviet Non-aggression Pact, both nations agreed not to start a war against the other.

Explanation:

The German-Soviet Non-aggression Pact, also called the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, was a non-aggression agreement between the Third Reich and the Soviet Union, signed on 23 August 1939 in Moscow. The mutual non-aggression pact was in force until Operation Barbarossa began on June 22, 1941, when Germany invaded the USSR.

Although formally designated as a "non-aggression pact", this agreement also covered a secret protocol that divided the spheres of interest in the independent countries of Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania. The Secret Protocol explicitly provided for "political and territorial changes" in the areas of the countries mentioned. As a consequence of this agreement, all the above countries were attacked and occupied either by Germany or by the Soviet Union. Only Finland, which fought the USSR twice during the Second World War, managed to preserve its independence but was forced to cede certain territories.

Nativist stereotypes of Europeans being violent and disorderly contributed to the passage of the 18th Amendment (prohibition of
ziro4ka [17]

<u>Answer:</u> False

<u>Explanation:</u> The imposition of the 18th Amendment had more to do with social activism than with stereotypes.

Distilled and fermented liquors were brought from Europe for many reasons. Alcohol was considered healthy and medicinal, used for killing pain and soothing indigestion. It was also known as a curative and invigorating beverage. Some people even preferred drinking cider or beer instead of drinking water, since water in America was muddy and dirty.

However, drunkenness was condemned and punished, a signal of weakness. It was associated with domestic violence, family neglection, unemployment, and psychologic problems. In that scenario, a movement flourished defending moderation or temperance. Many leaders came up in different states, all of them influenced by Benjamin Rush’s tract of 1785. At first, those movements were small and segmented, but in 1825 the American Temperance Society was formed and unified many of those small groups. It had the support of both Catholic and Protestant churches and, as the years passed by, it split along two lines: radicals who defended total abstinence, and moderates who allowed some drinking. The Society continued pushing the states’ legislatures to enact statewide prohibition of alcohol, reasoning that such prohibition would decrease the number of unemployment and violence, at the same time that it would increase productivity. Because of this pressure, in 1919 the Eighteenth Amendment was established, declaring the production, transport, and sale of intoxicating liquors forbidden.

The 18th Amendment was repealed in 1933 mainly because of the profit that the government could have by taxing imported wines, gin, rum, and whiskey.
