The correct answer is <span>Lincoln did not want armed conflict at Fort Sumter, but Davis acted quickly to cripple Union forces.
</span>
In the fort Sumter situation, Lincoln did not want an armed conflict and was against there being fighting over the fort. Lincoln wanted to avoid the war completely and preserve the union but this wasn't possible because the states that seceded initiated the war first with their secession and then with the attack on the Fort.

Jefferson Davis on the other hand couldn't care less about about those in the Fort and wanted to find a quick way to cripple the armies of the North and do it fast so that they didn't have a way to recuperate from it or to retaliate. He believed that with such a move he would dissuade the Union from waging wars and would leave them be out of fear.

(25 POINTS!! PLEASE ANSWER QUICK!!) Choose only the CORRECT statements that describes the United States' movement from neutralit

Rama09 [41]

These are the correct statements that describe the United States' movement from neutrality to engagement in World War I.

One of the main causes of the United States declaring war on Germany was the use of unrestricted submarine attacks.
President Wilson campaigned in the 1916 election with the slogan "He kept us out of war."
The United States began to support war against Germany after the Zimmerman telegram was intercepted.
The Zimmerman Telegram was from Germany to Mexico, promising them territory gained in the Mexican-American war if they allied with Germany.

Further details / historical context:

Prior to World War I, the United States had adopted a mostly isolationist view, not wanting to be involved in affairs across the ocean that were not directly related to our national security. When the war broke out, the United States did not impose a trade embargo on either side -- but American trade tended to be more with the Allies than with Germany. Similarly, President Wilson permitted loans to both sides, but loans to the Allies by 1917 were more than $2 billion, while American loans to Germany were only around $27 million.

Though Wilson campaigned in 1916 on the fact that he "kept us out of the war," by 1917 he and the nation were ready to go to war.

The reasons that led to US declaration of war:

In January, 1917, Germany had resumed its policy of unrestricted submarine warfare. Germany had halted its attacks on non-military vessels (which it suspected of carrying military supplies) after the furor over the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915. But now Germany was resuming attacks by its U-boats.
In February, 1917, the "Zimmerman Telegram" was intercepted by British intelligence and shared with the US. Germany's foreign minister, Arthur Zimmerman, had telegraphed an offer to Mexico's ambassador seeking Mexico's support in war vs. the United States in exchange for getting land back from the US.
On April 2, 1917, President Wilson made a powerful speech to Congress in which he argued that the nation needed to enter the war "to make the world safe for democracy." Wilson's speech was powerfully convincing, and four days later, Congress declared war.

Is the Maya experience a cautionary tale for the modern world or was it a unique expression of that culture at that time?

otez555 [7]

Answer:

The Maya civilization, one of the great culture of the Americas, has been of great interest to many scientist, especially of archeologists due to the wonders that have been discovered about this civilization. Believed to have descended from an older culture known as the Olmecs, the great civilization, which created a real empire, saw its first known origins in 250 AD and it is believed to have ended around 900 AD.

Of what is known about the end of the Mayan civilization is that first, after centuries of being a truly powerful and well-organized civilization, its leaders became too enamored with their power and a lot of corruption brought about a series of wars, and civil strife, between the different polities spread out throughout the Yucatan Peninsula, that ended the continuation of the empire. Thus, when the Spanish came in contact with what remained of the actual empire, the powerful civilization was almost seeing its end.

But probably the best known story about the end of the Mayas was a huge drought, believed to have swept over the Yucatan Peninsula around 800 or 1000 AD, and for which the Mayas had not been prepared. Living on the land, depending on its resources, and their population spreading further and further, the ecosystems of the Peninsula seem to not have been able to sustain the need of the people and finally, food became scarce. Those who survived the drought spread away from where they used to live, and most died and fell to the Spanish when the Conquistadores arrived.

The famous tale of the drought that put an end to the powerful Maya does seem a cautionary tale for the future world, as today we are seeing the same signs and symptoms. The difference lies in the fact that today science and we, know exactly where the devastation of our resources is leading, whereas the Maya did not have the scientific knowledge to foretell what happened. Whichever way it is looked at, the fact that resources ran out due to drought, and that the Maya were not capable to cope with it, does seem like a warning of what may happen to us if we do not take measures immediately.
