The hostage crisis in Iran took place over a period of 444 days, during which a group of Iranian students took 66 diplomats and citizens of the United States of America (USA) hostage. The crisis began on November 4, 1979 and lasted until January 20, 1981.

The crisis was described by the Western media as a "revenge and mutual incomprehension". In Iran, the taking of hostages was widely seen as a blow against the United States. In the United States, and in general the West see hostage-taking as an outrage on the part of the Islamist movement that violated the principle of international law on immunity and inviolability of diplomats and their embassies.

In 1980, the death of the Shah (July 27) and the invasion of Iran by Iraq in September made Iran more prone to the resolution of the hostage crisis. In the US, Carter lost in November 1980 the presidential re-election for the benefit of Ronald Reagan. Most analysts believe that Carter's mistakes in trying to solve the crisis played an important role in his defeat.

The crisis was described by the American media as a "revenge and mutual incomprehension". In Iran, hostage-taking was widely seen as a blow against the United States and its influence in Iran by followers of Ayatollah Khomeini, in what the Islamist faction called attempts to undermine the perception of the Iranian revolution, and its permanent support of the recently overthrown Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlevi of Iran. After his overthrow, the Shah was allowed to travel to the USA. to receive medical treatment. The Islamist rebels demanded the US to extradite the Shah back to Iran to judge him for crimes committed by his government during his reign over ordinary citizens with the help of his secret police, the SAVAK. In Iran, the asylum granted by the USA for the Shah was seen as an act of complicity.

In the United States the taking of hostages was seen as an outrage on the part of the Islamist movement that violated the principle of international law on the immunity and inviolability of diplomats and their embassies.

Carter refused to yield to the demands, Khomeini used the situation to consolidate his power and nullify the challenges of the moderate wing of his government, headed by its president. The euphoria over the humiliation of the most powerful nation distracted the Iranian people from the economic difficulties of their country. Carter, in April 1980, broke diplomatic relations with Iran and imposed a trade embargo, except for medicine and food. Iranian funds in the US they were frozen and accounted to compensate the hostages when they were released and to pay the demands of US companies against Iran.

A problem of international relations became an electoral problem. His main rival, Republican Ronald Reagan, accused Carter of "being wrong from the beginning." Reagan stated: "The hostages must not have been held captive for six days, much less six months."

Which of these actions did the British government take to help end the Depression?
Margaret [11]

The correct answer is taking the currency off the gold standard

In the fields, many impoverished peasants began to migrate to the cities in search of better living conditions. From 1873 to 1896, the capitalist system experienced its first major crisis, called the Great Depression.

The Great Capitalist Depression, in the 19th century, was configured as a crisis due to the evolution of the capitalist system. This crisis generated a mismatch between the overproduction of goods in industries and a population of workers without purchasing power to consume these goods (due to the increase in unemployment among workers and the reduction in their wages).

Due to the Great Capitalist Depression in the 19th century, there were two main consequences for the economy of industrialized countries: the first was the bankruptcy of small and medium-sized companies and the concentration of capital in the hands of a few industrial capitalists. The second consequence of the depression was the search for external consumer markets, that is, outside Europe, in non-industrialized continents, such as Asia and Africa.

This fact initiated European Neocolonialism, that is, the sharing of the Asian and African continent by the great industrial powers in the 19th century. It was the beginning of capitalist exploitation, the plundering of workers and the world's environmental resources.
