Answer:

A terrible famine in Ireland.

Explanation:

The British were very unfriendly to any kind of Irish nationalism and they cracked down hard. Ireland was primarily reliant on potatoes, and there was a horrible famine. Millions starved, and the British did little to help.

Irish immigrants had a very low standing in America, and were persecuted.

There wasn't free land in the West for the Irish.

The Irish people were not necessarily skilled artisans or craftsmen. Many of them were farmers, peasant folk, or factory workers who bargained their way to America.

Truman’s decision to become involved in the Korean conflict is an example of the US policy of
Anna11 [10]

The Correct answer is the doctrine of Containment. Indeed, Stalin’s Soviet Union had engaged in a series o Geo-political moves to assert and/or increase its influence and spread Stalinist-styled Communism in Eastern Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, Africa and the Americas.

Truman wanted to politically and economically weaken the Soviet Union by keeping it from expanding its influence and sociopolitical model worldwide. His first move was to provide $400 US million to combat Communism in Greece and Turkey where their popularity kept spreading. Then there was the proxy war of Korea where a US-led coalition fought Soviet-led forces including hundreds of thousands of Chinese “volunteers”.

Part of the strategy was also to engage in an arm’s race with the Soviet Union that included the manufacture of thousands of nuclear weapons. However, one of the major paradoxes of the Cold War was the extensive development of nuclear weapons and the reluctance to actually use them in order to avoid mutually assured destruction.

Which of the following was one reason that led to
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

b) Greece city-states were weakened by war and unable to form a new alliance

Explanation:

Phillip II of Macedon was the king that managed to make the Macedonian Kingdom into a force to be reckoned with. He rebuild and modernized the army, as well as strengthening the economy. The Greek city-states, despite being weakened from the conflicts, didn't really saw the real danger that Macedonia might pose to them, and that backfired on them. Once Phillip managed to take over Paionia and establish nice relations with the Paionians after the invasion, as well as taking over parts of Thrace and Illiria, the sights were set on the Greek city-states. With strong, modernized, well organized army, strengthened even more by the presence of the strong Paionian cavalry, Phillip moved in Greek territory, managing to easily defeat the city-states and take over them, apart from Sparta which was left alone.
