What geographic challenges led to the use of island hopping?

History
2 answers:
Oliga [24]3 years ago
4 0
The term island hopping was used during WWII when the US and its allied forces were going from island to island trying to regain and push out the Japanese forces in the islands from Guam, Tarawa, Guadalcanal, Palua, and others, including Okinawa. Most of the tiny atolls were bombed, however, the only way to take over them was to land forces and literally flush out the Japanese soldiers by fire. Chuuk in Micronesia was believed to be very difficult to land troops and it would take a great amount of forces to land, so the US and its allies blockaded the entire lagoon, starving the Japanese. That is one of the island hopping terms I have heard. Marine are notorious for these beach landings, many of their hero's were made in the island hopping campaign. <span />

What was Booker T. Washington vision for Georgia?
Tamiku [17]

s the United States entered the 20th century, African Americans faced a new and challenging landscape. A mere thirty-five years after the abolition of slavery, the majority of African Americans had learned to read and hundreds were heading to colleges and universities to continue their studies. The 1900 Paris Exposition created by W.E.B. DuBois showcased the gains that African Americans had made since emancipation.

However, many of the freedoms gained during the era of reconstruction were beginning to disappear. It became more and more difficult for African Americans to vote; the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling made segregation the law of the land; and groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the Knights of the White Camelia tried to reverse the successes of African Americans, sometimes using violence and lynching to strike fear in the African American community.

Many contributed to the debates on how best to secure and advance the rights of African Americans, but one of the major contributors was the educator Booker T. Washington. Washington, the leader of Tuskegee Institute, stated his views in a speech at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia, in September 1895.

What factor explained florida's six year wait to have is request for statehood approved?
oksian1 [2.3K]
Florida took a lot of time becoming a state due to the fact that it faced the same dilemma as Missouri as it entered into the Union. They had to wait for a certain period of time to ensure that the balance between Free State and slave remains unbroken. They became a state when Iowa was admitted into the Union which was a free state which maintained the balance.

10 Select the correct answer. George works in a factory and is a member of the labor union. He thinks his wages are low for the
ad-work [718]

The correct answer is C. collective bargaining

Explanation

Collective bargaining is a way of reaching an agreement within a group of people. Collective bargaining is generally used to establish in common agreement a position of a community to present its opinion in a specific situation, also, these groups usually have a representative who collects the opinion of all the members and expresses it in front of the counterpart to negotiate for all its represented. In the case of the question, the way of bargaining of the union of the company to which George belongs was collective bargaining, because George expressed his opinion to the union representative by saying that "George works in a factory and is a member of the labor union. He thinks his wages are low for the work that he does, so he tells the union representative that his employer should increase his wages". Likewise, his colleagues did so asking for a salary increase when the author states that, "The representative asks the other workers if they feel the same, and they all agree" and then the representative negotiated it with the employer who finally acceded to his request "The following week, the union representative met with the factory owner regarding an increase in wages, and the employer agreed to it". Therefore, the correct answer is C. Collective Bargaining.
