Albert Fall gave oil drilling rights away in exchange for monetary gifts.

Albert Fall was the Secretary of the Interior under President Harding.

Albert Fall was in control of federal oil reserves in the US. He leased drilling rights to a company for the reserves in Wyoming. When the lease came under investigation by the Senate, it was discovered that Fall had received money in exchange for the monopoly drilling rights he granted the company. This was an abuse of power and led to the removal of Albert Fall. Harding was not implicated by the scandal but it left a mark on his presidency.

The statement that best describes what happened during the Teapot scandal during Harding's administration would be that "<span>Albert Fall gave oil drilling rights away in exchange for monetary gifts," since this didn't allow for fair competition to determine the price of the sale. </span>

how did the kennedy administration know that the soviet union was putting ballistic missiles in cuba?
Komok [63]
1) ariel spying over Cuba produced pictures that showed missile silos being built in Cuba. The design of the silos made it clear they were designed for missiles, and it made no sense for Cuba to put in anything less than nuclear missiles there. Missiles they could not build themselves, so had to come from the Soviet Union.
2) Only minutes. A launch from the Soviet Union to the US only takes about 20 minutes. Depending on the range of the missiles put into the silos, warning time would have been anywhere from 3-10 minutes. Not enough time to verify that it was a launch, and not a detection system malfunction, forcing America to launch immediately, or risk losing its capacity to strike back.
3) A direct attack or invasion of Cuba would have forced the Soviet Union to respond in kind. The USSR simply could not abandon Cuba, without losing all credibility among its allies and vassal states. So they would likely have struck back at the US, probably in Europe. This would have dangerously escalated the tensions, and increased the probability of nuclear war. Other officials believed that a quick,determined strike would not only eliminate the immediate threat of missiles in Cuba, but possibly overthrow the regime and force the USSR to accept the situation. The idea of a naval blockade was a compromise position. A threat of force, but one that allowed the USSR to back off. After all, so long as the missiles were not put into the silos, they were no threat.

a. The relationship increased because of the support from Protestant churches.

the Great Awakening affected the colonies by changing many people's attitudes towards religion. Before this revival, religious devoutness had been fading in the colonies. The revival movement undyingly impacted Protestantism as adherents strove to renew individual piety and religious devotion.
