Answer:

Troubling economic news dominated headlines worldwide, while other events — in¬

cluding the explosion of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig, which resulted in the

spewing of millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico — added to the bad news.

Worries also emerged about cyberwarfare attacks on governments and the prospect

of invasive species’ thriving in temperatures that were getting warmer by the year.

In Yemen al-Qaeda stirred up trouble and gained a foothold in the south of the coun¬

try by encouraging secessionists to break away from the north, and the militant group estab¬

lished a base from which to coordinate terrorist activities. In the U.S. the grassroots Tea Party

movement brewed up a tempest in the political arena with its credo to oppose excessive tax¬

ation, immigration, and government intervention in the private sector. In Africa 17 countries,

14 of them former French colonies, marked the 50th anniversary of their independence. The

earthquakes in Haiti and Chile brought to the fore the need for smart engineering of build¬

ings to sustain the shocks from massive temblors. On the bright side, the Winter Olympic

Games in Vancouver, B.C., provided spills and chills early in the year, and epicureans every¬

where savoured the new and interesting concoctions that resulted from the culinary applica¬

tions of Molecular Gastronomy. All of these topics are covered in Special Reports.

Significant elections took place in Australia, the U.K., and the U.S., where the midterm elec¬

tions resulted in the Republicans’ taking majority control in most states and in the House of

Representatives. Some believed that the new and unpopular U.S. health care bill initiated by

the administration of Pres. Barack Obama was one factor that led to the Democrats’ defeat.

The cataclysmic Haiti earthquake, which killed about 220,000 persons, led to billions of dol¬

lars in pledges from countries worldwide, but by year’s end that country had yet to receive

many of the donations. Europe had its fair share of economic woes, especially the countries

of the so-called PUGS; Greece and Ireland had to accept massive bailouts to keep their

economies afloat. Putting a positive spin on the news, wind turbines were helping to conserve

energy, and China’s commercial wind farm began providing electricity to Expo 2010 Shang¬

hai China, a world’s fair that attracted some 70 million visitors. In the realm of sports, the

first Summer Youth Olympic Games were held in Singapore, and the association football (soc¬

cer) World Cup featured a final duel between Spain and the Netherlands, with the former

emerging victorious. These stories appear as Sidebars.

A number of sports legends died during the year, including basketball coach John Wooden

and three baseball legends: New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, longtime manager

Sparky Anderson, and Cleveland Indians pitcher Bob ("Rapid Robert”) Feller. Hollywood had

its share of losses, notably actors Tony Curtis, Dennis Hopper, and Lynn Redgrave. Other

prominent deaths included those of Polish Pres. Lech Kaczynski, civil rights activist Dorothy

Height, fashion designer Alexander McQueen, writers J.D. Salinger and Jose Saramago, opera

singer Dame Joan Sutherland, and songstresses Lena Horne and Kate McGarrigle.

The personalities of the year featured in biographies include WikiLeaks founder Julian

Assange, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, British Prime Minister David Cameron, film

director Kathryn Bigelow, pop-culture icon Lady Gaga, golfer Phil Mickelson, and baseball

pitcher Roy Halladay. In the Britannica family of authors, we salute longtime geology and

geochemistry expert Peter J. Wylie, who is retiring after 34 years.

Though the news was mostly bad in 2010, it was a year in which exciting discoveries were

made, technology took greater strides forward, and people bid a final farewell to the decade.

There are many more compelling stories to read between the pages of this volume, the

Britannica Book of the Year 2011. I invite you to discover them.

1- Which of the following was the most likely reason President Truman decided to use atomic bombs against Japan?

Naily [24]

1. I believe the correct answer is: D. He feared the loss of life that would be involved in a conventional invasion of Japan.

The most likely reason President Truman decided to use atomic bombs against Japan is that he was in fear of the loss of life that would be involved in a conventional invasion of Japan, after he personally saw witnessed the human costs of intense front-line combat in France during the First World War. Truman was convinced that he would lose his life, if the war continued for few more months.

2. I believe the correct answer is: A. He declared a bank holiday and then kept most banks closed.

Franklin Roosevelt attempted to restore trust in the banking system issuing an executive order to temporarily close all of the nation's banks and declared four-days of national banking holiday, starting on the March 6th. After this, Roosevelt issued Emergency Banking Relief Act (March 9, 1933) as an attempt to stabilize the banking system and restore trust.

3. I believe the correct answer is: C. The division between democratic and communist countries.

Winston Churchill, the prime minister of Britain in World War II, coined the expression “Iron Curtain” as he was referring to the division between democratic and communist countries. This division was alluding on Soviet Union’s plans for postwar dominance of Eastern Europe.

4. I believe the correct answer is: C. on margin.

Buying on margin describes the initial or down payment purchase of financial products or assets by paying the margin (deposit) with borrowed money from a bank or a broker. Buying the stocks on margin was one of the events that lead to the market crash which influenced the Great Depression.

5. I believe the correct answer is: D. Their governments were controlled indirectly by the Soviet Union.

Many Eastern European nations were considered to be ruled by puppet regimes after World War II as their governments were controlled indirectly by the Soviet Union. Indirect control of government is called the puppet state – a state that is supposedly independent but is in fact dependent upon an outside power. Joseph Stalin used puppet governments to keep control many Eastern European countries.

6. I believe the correct answer is C. a desire for more room.

<span> The movement of 18 millions of Americans to the suburbs in the 1950s was influenced by a desire for more room, which meant more affordable, peaceful and comfortable housing. The growth of suburb cities was also prompted by low-cost government loans, expanded road and highway construction and increased automobile production</span>

How did the fundamentalist revolt take place

sergey [27]

Answer: What was the fundamentalist revolt?

The protestants felt threatened by the decline of value and increase in visibility of Catholicism and Judaism. The Fundamentalists ended up launching a campaign to rid Protestant denominations of modernism and to combat the new individual freedoms that seemed to contradict traditional morals.

What caused fundamentalism?

The causes of Fundamentalism. Steve Bruce argues that the main causes of Fundamentalism are modernisation and secularisation, but we also need to consider the nature of the religions themselves and a range of 'external factors' to fully explain the growth of fundamentalist movements.

Fundamentalism, in the narrowest meaning of the term, was a movement that began in the late 19th- and early 20th-century within American Protestant circles to defend the "fundamentals of belief" against the corrosive effects of liberalism that had grown within the ranks of Protestantism itself. Liberalism, manifested in critical approaches to the Bible that relied on purely natural assumptions, or that framed Christianity as a purely natural or human phenomenon that could be explained scientifically, presented a challenge to traditional belief.

A multi-volume group of essays edited by Reuben Torrey, and published in 1910 under the title, The Fundamentals, was financed and distributed by Presbyterian laymen Lyman and Milton Stewart and was an attempt to arrest the drift of Protestant belief. Its influence was large and was the source of the labeling of conservatives as "fundamentalists."

Useful for looking at this history of fundamentalism are George Marsden's Fundamentalism and American Culture: The Shaping of Twentieth-Century Evangelicalism, 1870-1925 (New York: Oxford, 1980), Bruce B. Lawrence, Defenders of God: The Fundamentalist Revolt against the Modern Age (San Francisco: Harper & Row, 1989), David Beale, In Pursuit of Purity: American Fundamentalism Since 1850 (Greenville: Unusual Publications, 1986), and Mark A. Noll, A History of Christianity in the United States and Canada (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1992).

Lately, the meaning of the word "fundamentalism" has expanded. This has happened in the press, in academia, and in ordinary language. It appears to be expanding to include any unquestioned adherence to fundamental principles or beliefs, and is often used in a pejorative sense. Nowadays we hear about not only Protestant evangelical fundamentalists, but Catholic fundamentalists, Mormon fundamentalists, Islamic fundamentalists, Hindu fundamentalists, Buddhist fundamentalists, and even atheist or secular or Darwinian fundamentalists.

Scholars of religion have perhaps indirectly contributed to this expansion of the term, as they have tried to look for similarities in ways of being religious that are common in various systems of belief. Between 1991 and 1995, religion scholars Martin Marty and Scott Appleby published a 5-volume collection of essays as part of "The Fundamentalism Project" at the University of Chicago, which is an example of this approach. Appleby is co-author of Strong Religion (2003), also from the University of Chicago Press that attempts to give a common explanatory framework for understanding anti-modern and anti-secular religious movements around the world.
