Correct answer:  C) The Cold War was not a conventional war, and its costs are measured by the individual proxy wars.  

Explanation:

Both the Korean War and the Vietnam War would factor in as "proxy wars" during the Cold War.

One could argue that there would be ways to chart the costs of the Cold War simply by tabulating what was spent on developing military arsenals that stood ready to be used in the event of direct warfare between the superpowers who opposed each other in the Cold War.  As the Cold War continued, the two superpowers (US and USSR) kept escalating their weapons capabilities and stockpiles.  It got to the point that if the two sides did plunge into war, they would face mutually assured destruction. Massive amounts were spent on the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

What were the possible causes of the Great Depression? To what extent could a stock market crash of the intensity of 1929 occur
Dominik [7]

Answer:

overproduction of goods and the expansion of unbridled credit by banks.

Explanation:

The Great Depression of the 1930s was the largest recession in history and its causes were overproduction of goods and the expansion of unbridled credit by banks.

The American economy was experiencing a period of euphoria during the 1920s. The US had become the world's leading economic powerhouse and was the largest supplier of manufactures to Europe. In this scenario, banks have expanded their credit rampantly to sustain the increase in production. However, production increased in a way that there was not enough consumer market to dispose of the products. The businessmen lost the conditions to pay their loans to the banks and the financial system collapsed.

Currently, the Federal Reserve has regulatory mechanisms that aim to reduce the risk of unbridled expansion of bank credit, such as the collection of the compulsory deposit and monetary policy. However, it is not possible to say that the risk is non-existent. We live in a special moment where technology has positive impacts, but can also cause negative havoc. For example, virtual currencies, if not well regulated, can cause a new crisis.
