Answer:

Nixon's "silent majority" were those who quietly supported the Vietnam War, whom he saw as the majority of Americans at the time he began his presidency.

Richard Nixon had campaigned for the presidency by appealing to what he called "The Silent Majority" of American citizens -- the everyday, middle-class, working folks who were not part of the anti-war protests that had been happening in the country.  On November 3, 1969, during his first year in office, President Nixon called on that "silent majority" in a major radio and television address.  In response to continuing war protests, Nixon urged solidarity in support of the war effort in Vietnam War effort, saying that the United States was “going to keep our commitment in Vietnam.”  He pledged that US forces would keep fighting until an honorable peace was achieved or until the South Vietnamese were able to defend themselves without US help.

Nixon's urgings did not stop the war protests.  In fact, the largest anti-war protest in US history then took place on November 15, 1969.  The Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam, which had staged teach-ins and demonstrations across the country in October, held a massive march and rally in Washington, DC, which was attended by half a million protesters.

How did Germany’s alliance with Austria affect the reaction to the assassination of Franz Ferdinand?
Anna007 [38]
Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy were in an alliance together known as the Triple Alliance. This was an agreement between the empires to provide support to each other in case of a Russian declaration of war against them. Serbia was an ally to Russia and so Austria felt that the Serbians helped the Bosnians carry out the assassination. Ferdinand's uncle was emperor of Austria at the time and felt that this was a direct attack on their country. When he went to Kaiser Otto von Bismarck of Germany, Germany agreed to intervene against any Russian threats or threats from their allies. In this case, Germany gave Austria permission to send demands to Serbia to repay them, which they refused to comply with. At the same time, Russia was gathering their army to come to Serbia's aid, which Austria also saw as a direct threat and declared war on Serbia. This culminated in World War I.
