The Federal Trade Commission Act (1914) established the Federal Trade Commission. The Act, signed by Woodrow Wilson in 1914, outlawed unfair methods of competition and outlaws unfair acts or practices that affect commerce.

A.K.A It was a protection against bigger business for the smaller businesses. During the time it was enforced, bigger businesses were known for scaring smaller owners and forcing them to give up their businesses all together -as a way to get rid of competition- FTC was made so that they couldn't do that and if they did there would be consequences.

Hope this helps!

Where did 2 major wars of the Cold War occur? Who was on the side of the US or the USSR?
marin [14]

Answer:

During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union fought together as allies against the Axis powers. However, the relationship between the two nations was a tense one. Americans had long been wary of Soviet communism and concerned about Russian leader Joseph Stalin’s tyrannical, blood-thirsty rule of his own country. For their part, the Soviets resented the Americans’ decades-long refusal to treat the USSR as a legitimate part of the international community as well as their delayed entry into World War II, which resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of Russians. After the war ended, these grievances ripened into an overwhelming sense of mutual distrust and enmity. Postwar Soviet expansionism in Eastern Europe fueled many Americans’ fears of a Russian plan to control the world. Meanwhile, the USSR came to resent what they perceived as American officials’ bellicose rhetoric, arms buildup and interventionist approach to international relations. In such a hostile atmosphere, no single party was entirely to blame for the Cold War; in fact, some historians believe it was inevitable.

tangare [24]

Economic depression make many democracies became weak and they became threatened for the communism and dictators.

The 1929 Crisis was a consequence of the great expansion of credit through money supply (issuance of money and bonds) carried out by the Federal Reserve System (a type of US Central Bank) since the early years of the 1920s. from 1929, this expansion had to be stopped by the Government, since the adjustment of accounts needed to be done. The Government then stopped expanding the money supply and began to operate a loan restriction policy. Fearing the currency's devaluation, many people and companies withdrew their reserves from banks, initiating a recessionary process.

What caused the Thirty Years War in Europe?
AveGali [126]

This culminated in the Thirty Years War (1618–48), within the Holy Roman Empire between German Protestants and their allies (Sweden, Denmark, France) and the Holy Roman Emperor and his Habsburg allies. It began as a religious war, but ended as a struggle for national superiority.
