1- The person that first spoke of the "iron curtain" was Winston Churchill, who used it to refer to the border, not only physical but also ideological, which divided Europe into two blocks after the Second World War.

2- One goal of the Marshall Plan was to make European countries strong enough to start buying American goods. The Marshall Plan was a US initiative to help Western Europe, in which Americans gave economic aid worth about $13 billion at the time for the reconstruction of those countries in Europe devastated after the Second World War. The plan was in operation for four years since 1948. The objectives of the United States were to rebuild those areas destroyed by the war, eliminate barriers to trade, modernize European industry and make the continent prosperous again; all these objectives were intended to prevent the spread of communism and to promote the trade of American goods once the European economies were recovered.

3- In order to try to gain control over West Berlin, the Soviet Union set up a total blockade cutting off that section of the city by building the Berlin Wall.

4- In China's civil war, the United States backed the Nationalists, led by Jiang Jieshi. The United States aided the nationalists with surpluses of their military supplies worth hundreds of millions of dollars and with the generous loan of hundreds of millions of military equipment.

5- After President Truman fired him, American public viewed General MacArthur as a hero. Upon his return from Korea, he was met with a massive popular adulation of his person, which raised the expectation that he could stand for the 1952 legislative elections as a candidate of the Republican Party of the United States.

When did anti black mob violence reach its peak? why did it taper off ?
Gnoma [55]

Answer: Violence continued continuously throughout the 19th century until 1964—efforts to resolve individual disputes.

Explanation:

  • Violence against African-Americans has been ongoing. Thousands of public lynchings of this section of the population occurred during the said period. There are several stages in this process. According to some historians, the climax of lynching happened after the end of World War II, when thousands of African-Americans were lynched in various ways. Previously, this was the case because of the activism of the Negro population who sought to fight for greater rights for this part of the community. Blacks have been charged with various counts of theft, for being sexual predators, and many forfeiting their lives. The racial segregation and lynching of this section of the population were significantly reduced by the repeal of Jim Crown's segregation laws in 1964.
  • The Compromise of 1850 is an effort to resolve certain slavery disputes over new territories that belonged to the united states. The disagreements that occurred among the main protagonists of these events was one of the causes of the civil war. Speaking of slaves and their position after this event, it has not improved significantly in their favor. The Refugee Slave Act of 1850 required citizens to assist in the arrest of exiled slaves and denied enslaved people the right to a jury trial. By the same law, all citizens were required to assist in the capture of slaves in the event of an escape. Also, this law meant denying enslaved people the right to a jury trial. He also placed control of individual cases in the hands of federal commissioners, who were paid more for the return of suspected slaves than for their release, which led many to argue that the law was biased in favor of southern slaveholders.

What were the direct causes of the American Revolution? no
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The 7 year war

Taxes and duties

Boston Massacre (1770)

Boston Tea Party (1773)

Intolerable Acts (1774)

King George III’s Speech to Parliament (1775)

Explanation:

The Seven Years War was a multinational conflict, the main belligerents were the British and French Empires. Each looking to expand their territory across numerous continents, both nations suffered mass casualties and racked up copious amounts of debt in order to fund the long and ardous struggle for territorial dominance which led to economic hardship in the US and an acknowledgment of the cultural differences between colonists and Britons. making it one of the key roles that led to the war

Taxes and Duties

The taxes and duties caused outrage in the colonies and became the main root of spontaneous and violent opposition. Encouraged and rallied by propaganda leaflets and posters, such as those created by Paul Revere, colonists rioted and organised merchant boycotts. Eventually, the colonial response was met with fierce repression

Boston Massacre (1770)

The Boston Massacre is often represented as the inevitable start of a revolution, but in fact it initially prompted Lord North’s government to withdraw the Townshend Acts and for a time it seemed like the worst of the crisis was over. However, radicals such as Samuel Adams and Thomas Jefferson kept the resentment ticking over.

Boston Tea Party (1773)

it was in December 1773 that the most famous and overt display of anger and resistance took place. A group of colonists led by Adams hopped aboard the East India Company trade vessel Dartmouth and poured 342 chests of tea (worth close to $2,000,000 in today’s currency) of British tea into the sea at Boston Harbour. This act – now known as the ‘Boston Tea Party’, remains important in patriotic American folklore.

Intolerable Acts (1774)

Rather than attempting to appease the rebels, the Boston Tea Party was met with the passing of the Intolerable Acts in 1774 by the British Crown. These punitive measures included the forced closure of Boston port and an order of compensation to the East India Company for damaged property. Town meetings were now also banned, and the authority of the royal governor was increased.

The British lost further support and patriots formed the First Continental Congress in the same year, a body where men from all the colonies were formally represented. In Britain, opinion was divided as the Whigs favoured reform while North’s Tories wanted to demonstrate the power of the British Parliament. It would be the Tories who got their way.

In the meantime, the First Continental Congress raised a militia, and in April 1775 the first shots of the war were fired as British troops clashed with militia men at the twin battles of Lexington and Concord. British reinforcements landed in Massachusetts and defeated the rebels at Bunker Hill in June – the first major battle of the American War of Independence.

King George III’s Speech to Parliament (1775)

On 26 October 1775 George III, King of Great Britain, stood up in front of his Parliament and declared the American colonies to be in a state of rebellion. Here, for the first time, the use of force was authorised against the rebels. The King’s speech was long but certain phrases made it clear that a major war against his own subjects was about to commence:

<em>“It is now become the part of wisdom, and (in its effects) of clemency, to put a speedy end to these disorders by the most decisive exertions. For this purpose, I have increased my naval establishment, and greatly augmented my land forces, but in such a manner as may be the least burthensome to my kingdoms.”</em>

After such a speech, the Whig position was silenced and a full-scale war was inevitable. From it the United States of America would emerge, and the course of history radically changed<em>.</em>
