Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A. Both the Soviet Union and the United States worried that the other

would build up a larger nuclear arsenal.

Explanation:

The arms race began after the end of World War II, when the former allies saw each other as a dangerous ideological rival, and not a friend. The USA already had atomic weapons and the leaders of the USSR were afraid that they would have nothing to use for defense if the USA decided to attack the USSR. The United States was afraid of the widespread increase in the authority of the USSR and the expansion of the list of countries with communist rule. It is worth saying that by this time Stalin had not abandoned the idea of world revolution. Also, disagreements on ideological grounds were felt increasingly more sharply. The impetus was the speech of Winston Churchill in Fulton. The United States began to run up its nuclear potential.

In the conditions of the Cold War, the arms race had an extremely important meaning, since at any moment a real battle could begin. Each of the countries wanted to have better military means than their opponents, so that in case of war they would have an advantage.

Describe the cultural and social interaction and exchange between english settlers and indians in virginia and the effects of th
zimovet [89]

The interactions between English settlers and native Virginians is a difficult one to summarize, as it experienced many changes over the years.

The two peoples originally came into contact in 1607, when English settlers first established the town of Jamestown in Virginian territory. The original settlement was a small one, and the settlers required the help of the natives in order to learn how to work the land and face the weather. This led to close cooperation between the two groups.

However, as the influence of the English settlers grew, their power also increased. The settlers became interested in dominating the native people, and they attempted to do this in various ways, including through warfare, forced removal and christianization. As hostilities grew, the indigenous people began to lose most of the things that were valuable to them, such as their land, their religious rites, their cultural expressions and their large numbers.

In times of peace, the two groups were able to learn from each other, and cultural and social exchanges were common. However, when hostilities arose, the native people were particularly affected. The damage increased when forced removal became a more extensive government practice. Such discriminatory actions led to the downfall of the native Virginians.
