Answer:

Island of Midway was established as a Naval base and remained prominent in the U.S. military due to its strategic location in the Pacific Ocean

Explanation:

Following World War II, the Island of Midway was established as a Naval base and remained prominent in the U.S. military due to its strategic location in the Pacific Ocean. By the late 1950's, the island became host to radar aircraft and crews that were a part of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) system.

The name Midway dates from the islands' formal annexation by the United States in 1867. ... In 1940 the U.S. Navy began work on an air and submarine base there. During World War II the atoll became an important strategic objective for the Japanese.

Analyze this political cartoon. What does the metaphor of the cauldron mean? Why are these particular figures placed on or near
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:Cartoon depicting the European great powers — Britain, France, Russia, Germany, and Austria-Hungary — struggling to stop the conflict in the Balkans from boiling over into something much bigger and much worse, 1912-1913. Crises over the Balkans were not new — they had been a semi-regular occurrence in European diplomacy since the Greek War of Independence in the 1820s began the slow process of eroding Ottoman control over the region.

The resulting power vacuum encouraged Russia, Austria and other great powers to try to move in to fill it either by supporting the creation of new states like Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria or taking territory directly (such as Bosnia-Herzogovina, annexed by Austria-Hungary in 1908). But equally important was the need of the European great powers to try and stop each other from gaining too much influence or power in the region as the Ottomans withdrew. Balancing these two often conflicting goals required very delicate diplomacy and was not helped by the emergence of the new Balkan states, like Serbia and Bulgaria, which were quite capable of turning the tables on those powers who sought to manipulate them as regional clients.

By the first decade of the new century many European leaders and diplomats were convinced that the next major European war would begin in the Balkans. The outbreak of the Balkan wars seemed to many observers in the press to be the much-predicted spark that would cause a wider war.
