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.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

The assassination of John F. Kennedy took place on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested on the same day on charges of assassinating the president. Oswald was never tried for the murder, as Jack Ruby shot Oswald on November 24 when police took him to a county jail.

Although the American public was initially satisfied with the work of the Warren Commission, set up by Congress to investigate the murder, polls conducted between 1966 and 2003 have shown that many Americans believe Kennedy was the victim of a conspiracy and/or his death was covered up. Of those surveyed in November 2013, 61 percent believed that Kennedy had been the victim of a conspiracy, and 31 percent thought Oswald was not acting alone. There are still several conspiracy theories about the Kennedy murder, in which the KGB, the CIA and the mafia are suspected of killing Kennedy.

As the 1964 presidential election approached, Kennedy decided to visit the state of Texas to campaign for his re-election for a second term. The secret service was concerned about the president's safety due to large crowds, and on the morning of the murder day, the president was warned that the secret service considered the threat of assassination high.

Kennedy arrived in Dallas on the morning of November 22, planning to meet the people and give a speech at the Dallas Trade Mart. Around one o'clock local time, the convoy made a scheduled turn to Elm Street and passed the Texas Textbook Repository. Immediately after 12:30, the president was hit by two bullets fired by a sniper.

Although the convoy took only minutes to reach the Parkland Memorial Hospital closest to the shooting site, it was immediately clear to doctors that John Kennedy was too badly wounded to survive. At 1 p.m., the president was pronounced dead.

Two hours and 8 minutes after Kennedy's assassination, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson took the oath of office on board the presidential plane and became the 36th President of the United States.

TWENTY PTS! What was the effect of Ming emperors disallowing foreign exploration?

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The Ming regime restored the former literary examinations for public office, which pleased the literary world, dominated by Southerners. In their own writing the Ming sought a return to classical prose and poetry styles and, as a result, produced writings that were imitative and generally of little consequence. Writers of vernacular literature, however, made real contributions, especially in novels and drama. Chinese traditional drama originating in the Song dynasty had been banned by the Mongols but survived underground in the South, and in the Ming era it was restored. This was chuanqi, a form of musical theatre with numerous scenes and contemporary plots. What emerged was kunqu style, less bombastic in song and accompaniment than other popular theatre. Under the Ming it enjoyed great popularity, indeed outlasting the dynasty by a century or more. It was adapted into a full-length opera form, which, although still performed today, was gradually replaced in popularity by jingxi (Peking opera) during the Qing dynasty.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The English colonies in North America were part of a larger Atlantic community in that English people were the ones that decided to leave Britain for different reasons in order to start a new life or in pursuit of better opportunities to make money. Different reasons for different kinds of people.

For instance, the case of the founders of the Jamestown, Virginia colony of 1607. They were sponsored by the English corporation, the London-Virginia Company to make the trip to the Americas, work the land and exploit the raw material and make a profit. But they were still part of a larger Atlantic community.

Or the case of the Puritans that arrived at the coast of North America in 1620 to found the Plymouth colony. They were strict religious men and women that left Britain due to the religious persecution of the Church of England. They opted to make the trip to establish a new place to practice their religious teachings freely.
