Explanation:
They were the aggressor nations during the 1930's until 1943 for Italy (Italy surrendered in 1943), and 1945 for Germany/Japan (Germany surrendered in May/Japan in August/Sept). Hitler took leadership of Germany in 1933: Due to the "Armistice Agreement" that ended WWI, Germany was forbidden to build a strong Army, Navy or Air Force. He found a "loophole" around the treaty by building an army which trained on wooden rifles & machinguns, and cardboard tanks. His navy was built around submarines, a vessel not considered as important as Battleships. His Air Force was created by civilian "Flying Clubs", using GLIDERS to train his future pilots. By the end of the 1930's, Germany violated the treaty restrictions in THE OPEN, as there was no "teeth" in the enforcement of the treaty. Mussolini took leadership of Italy in 1922, and simply developed his armed forces from the position that they occupied when he took over. Mussolini attempted to "re-create a new Rome." Hirohito inherited the throne, becoming Emperor in 1926. In 1926, Japan was already a powerful war machine.

Answer, which was NOT a goal of Lincoln's proclamation: B. to fulfill his lifelong abolitionist ambitions
- <em>Concerning Lincoln's views on slavery, the History Channel reports, "Lincoln did believe that slavery was morally wrong, but there was one big problem: It was sanctioned by the highest law in the land, the Constitution." So Lincoln had not been a lifelong abolitionist, due to his respect also for the Constitution.</em>
<u>Historical context/details regarding the Emancipation Proclamation:</u>
President Abraham Lincoln issued The Emancipation Proclamation as an executive order on January 1, 1863. The executive order declared freedom for slaves in ten Confederate states in rebellion against the Union. It also allowed that freed slaves could join the Union Army to fight for the cause of reuniting the nation and ending slavery. As summarized by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, "The Proclamation broadened the goals of the Union war effort; it made the eradication of slavery into an explicit Union goal, in addition to the reuniting of the country."
While Lincoln personally was strongly against slavery, he had to tread carefully in his role as president and commander-in-chief. The Emancipation Proclamation was carefully worded in order to retain the support of four border slave states, which remained in the Union though they were states that permitted slavery, were Maryland, Missouri, Delaware, and Kentucky. Lincoln wanted to keep those states loyal to the Union cause.
The Emancipation Proclamation was also a way of blocking foreign support for the Confederate cause. According to the American Battlefield Trust, "Britain and France had considered supporting the Confederacy in order to expand their influence in the Western Hemisphere. However, many Europeans were against slavery." Britain had abolished slavery in its territories in 1833. France had put a final end to slavery in its territories in 1848. So when Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, it also served as a foreign policy action to keep European powers out of the US Civil War, according to Steve Jones, professor of history at Southwestern Adventist University.
Answer: c. Severe traffic congestion on the few roads that were available made it difficult to get from one city to the other.
Explanation:
Before the construction of the railroad, transportation in Texas, and most states, was very difficult and slow. People were transported in caravans to guard against the dangers they might encounter on the road, for example, from being assaulted or attacked by wild animals. The terrain was also a challenge and it took days or even months to travel between cities.
After the creation of the railway, traveling became cheaper and faster. In Texas, the railroad was developed since 1875 to facilitate the transportation of livestock between various cities and Mexico.
