Answer:
Keep this little phrase in mind: <u>gold, glory, and God.</u> In that order. The reason the Catholic monarchs Isabella and Ferdinand sponsored Columbus was
- <u>gold.</u> They wanted to get rich off of gold, which would enable them to increase their wealth and trading power as per the economic system of mercantilism.
- <u>glory.</u> They wanted their names to be famous. Two of the islands that Columbus saw were named after the two rulers (Isabela Island and Fernandina).
- <u>God.</u> They were highly Catholic (remember the Spanish Inquisition?) and they wanted to spread that, in theory, to the primitive natives.
America's foreign policy goals changed for several different reasons. One of the reasons why it changed were because of new threats to democracy. For example, World War II (1939-1945) brought in the reign of dictators all over Europe. Along with this, the US was attacked by the Japanese Empire at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. These different factors caused America to get involved with World War II to help the allied powers.
After World War II, the US wanted to stop the spread of communism. This policy, known as containment, reflected America's fear of the growing power of the Soviet Union (a communist superpower at this time). To stop communism from spreading, the US got involved in foreign conflicts like the Korean War. The US was trying to stop communism from spreading into South Korea.
The correct answer is B the decision in Reed v. Reed was the beginning of a series of decisions that marked a shift in how the Court looks at sex discrimination
Explanation:
The Reed v. Reed was a law case in 1971 in which the Supreme Court in the United States decided the executor of an estate could not be chosen just according to its gender, after Sally and Cecil Reed got divorced and Cecil (the man) was chosen as the administrator of the state of their son as a result of Idaho Code preference for males in this kind of cases. Later, after the Supreme Court studied the case it was decided that this preference was unconstitutional and other codes and laws were studied as a result. Thus, after the Reed v. Reed case different codes around different states that were based on gender were modified and sex discrimination in law was widely studied and considered to avoid sex-based discrimination.
The surprise attack shocked the nation and directly led to the American entry into World War II in both Pacific and European theaters. The U.S. declared war on Japan on Dec. 8, 1941. Both Germany and Italy declared war on the U.S. on Dec. 11, and the U.S. reciprocated the same day.
