7 0

As nations on both sides wanted to conquer more territories and build up colonies, those that were attacked were usually a 3rd world country and were already allied to the Allies or vice versa. This also helped spark the war for ww1, even tho the main reason was the assissination of Archduke of Austria-Hungary.
For ww2, many Axis nations didnt like the turn out of the Treaty of Versailles. Germany, becuase they had to pay a huge sum of money to the Allies, and literally became bankrupt.
Japan, for they did not get all the lands they wanted, and their European and American allies didnt want to hear them out.
Italy, because they also didnt get anything that they were hoping for.
During WW2, many nations called upon their colonies to help them fight the war. Some examples would be India and Britain, Egypt and Britain, etc etc.

which of the following describes a reason historians might want to use a primary source to study an event

baherus [9]

A primary source comes from someone who lived during the time of the event or they were at the event. The reason why historians want primary source is because it is more likely to be factual and will give the best information. For example, at the signing of the declaration of independence several of the men who signed it wrote diaries . That would be considered a primary source, because those men were there and saw it as well as documented the event.

Who was the last “liberal” Republican president and who was the first “liberal” Democratic president? Who was the first “conserv

gayaneshka [121]

1. Many make the argument that Richard Nixon was the last "liberal" Republican president, considering opening up of trade and signing into law massive environmental policies.

2. Many consider FDR to be the moment that the Democratic party switched from a more agrarian conservative party to the modern "liberal" party that it is today. As I mentioned with your other question, this occurred after Progressives that had split after Teddy Roosevelt last found their new home in the Democratic party. A similar drift would occur as Richard Nixon used the Southern Strategy to peel southern Democrats away and towards the new Republican party

3. Many consider Ronald Reagan to be the first true modern conservative President. Reagan embraced many of the tenets of the failed Goldwater presidential run and is still hailed as the gold standard for Conservative presidents.

4. Many consider Lyndon Johnson to be our most reliably liberal presidents. Johnson took the New Deal programs and expanded them with his "War on Poverty" but his legacy was ultimately complicated by the war in Vietnam.
