Answer:

<h2>D. Europe</h2>

Explanation:

The western members of the Allies (Britain, France and the United States) and their wartime partner in the alliance, the Soviet Union, were at odds over how Europe would be governed after the war.  The Western democracies wanted free and open elections in the countries of Eastern Europe coming out from under Nazi domination.  The Soviet Union wanted states allied and aligned with it to prevent any future aggression against the USSR (like how Germany had invaded).  The USSR ended up heavily influencing the Eastern European countries to align with communism, bringing them behind what Winston Churchill called "The Iron Curtain."

The situation of Germany itself was also a tension spot.  Germany was divided between the four Allied nations (Britain, France, the USA, and the USSR).  The British, French and American sectors combined their governance of West Germany and West Berlin.  This prompted the Soviets to blockade Berlin (located within the Soviet sector of East Germany).  The American side responded with the Berlin Airlift to keep West Berlin free of Soviet control.

All of these events were fueling tensions in the Cold War that was developing between the USA and its democratic allies and the USSR and its communist partners.

What was lincons background and character before politics
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Abraham Lincoln was born in humble surroundings, a one-room log cabin with dirt floors in Hardin County, Kentucky. His father, Thomas Lincoln, could not read and could barely sign his name. He was a stern man whom young Abe never liked very much. Himself born to impoverished parents, Thomas Lincoln was a farmer and carpenter who moved the family from rural Kentucky to frontier Indiana when young Abe was seven years old. Thomas built a crude 360-square foot log cabin where he lived with his wife, Abe, and elder daughter, Sarah.

Match the Constitutional Amendment with one of the things it accomplishes. 1. Thirteenth contains the equal protection clause 2.
Mila [183]
1. Thirteenth amendment <span>protects victims of human trafficking

The thirteenth amendment was the one that abolished slavery which meant that it was no longer possible to buy or sell slaves which is in the domain of human traficking. The only remaining option for slavery or involuntary servitude to exist was as a punishment for a criminal deed which is what prisoners were subjected to in prisons.

2. The fourteenth amendment contains the equal protection clause

This means that all people regardless of their skin color or ethnicity or religion would have the same citizenship and would equally be protecteced according to the law. Later they found ways to subvert this trough doctrines like separate but equal which resulted in segregation and racism which was not illegal.

3. The fifteenth amendment </span><span>gives citizens the right to vote regardless of race

This meant that all African-Americans of age would be able to vote, including all other minorities who were forbidden from voting based on religion, race, or ethnicity. This was subverted through things like poll taxes or literacy tests which was a way to segregate African-Americans and prevent them from voting in a legal way.</span>
