They were both very wary of one another. The two countries ended up rising up to be some of the most powerful military powers in the world, and both followed completely different ideologies, however, as well as this, they had both a very large stockpile of nuclear weapons. A war could almost assuredly lead to the use of these weapons, which would cause MAD, or Mutually Assured Destruction, which is a catastrophic end-of-the-world scenario in which two or more great powers launch multiple nuclear weapons to destroy each other, taking down the entire world with them. This fear of MAD caused both sides to simply go to threats and undercover operations, instead of outright wars.

AnnyKZ [126]
Martin Luther King Jr uses the Boston Tea Party in his speech in order to make a connection between the current Civil Rights movement and the origins of America. During this time, African-Americans who protested or practiced acts of civil disobedience were often looked down upon by some white citizens. However, Martin Luther King Jr. argues that in order for change to occur, there needs to be some ways in which people express their discontent with the current system.

By discussing an event that many Americans are familiar with, he is drawing up a comparison so that people can relate to the actions of African-Americans during this era. This shows that blacks in America are fighting for a better life, just like the American colonists did when dealing with the British government.

Explain the reasons for and results of Germany's attack on the Soviet Union and Japan's attack on the United States in 1941.
Doss [256]

Answer:

In simple words, The German general strategy East targeted at using some of the colonized slave labor for both the Axis military effort, acquiring the oil deposits of the balkans and the fertile land of the Soviet territories, and ultimately by exterminating, enslaving, germanizing and mass expulsion to Siberia, removing the Slavic persons and creating a living space for Germany.

  Japan designed the assault as a precautionary barrier to avoid the United States naval forces from trying to interfere with its scheduled military engagements throughout south - east asia out against United Kingdom , the Netherlands as well as the United States outlying islands.
