History

Igoryamba3 years ago
7 0

After WWII, Berlin was divided in four occupation zones (exactly the the same division pattern that had been applied to the country as a whole) and each was controlled by one of the victorious allied countries: US, UK, France and URSS. The parts of the city controlled by US, UK and France were unified and constituted West Berlin. Moreover, Berlin was embodied within the Soviet occupation zone that had become a communist republic known as the German Democratic Republic. Therefore, capitalist West Berlin was located inside a communist Republic.

The Berlin Blockade was an international crisis from the Cold War era (that confronted the Eastern bloc of communist countries leaded by the URSS and the Western bloc of capitalist nations under the influence of the US) The blockade started in 1948 and lasted almost a year. The URSS blocked all the ground means of transports that the Western allied countries could use to reach West Berlin so they organized the the Berlin airlift to carry supplies by plane. <u>The Soviets used the blockade to bargain. Stalin stated that the blockade would be removed if the newly introduced Deutsche Mark was withdrawn from West Berlin. </u>

Why did JFK not have a mandate for his proposal
Sloan [31]

Answer: Because a conservative coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats blocked many of Kennedy's measures

Explanation: John Fitzgerald Kennedy often referred to by his initials JFK, was an American politician who served as the 35th president of the United States from January 1961 until his assassination in November 1963. He served at the height of the Cold War, and the majority of his work as president concerned relations with the Soviet Union and Cuba.

In terms of domestic legislation however, Kennedy's record was less successful, as Congress repeatedly blocked his policy proposals. Some of the reform proposals Kennedy made that were rejected by a conservative Congress include,

medical care for the aged; rebuilding of blighted urban areas as well as federal aid for education.

In what two ways did the Crusades contribute to the spread of Renaissance ideas throughout Europe
Anton [14]

Answer:

The Crusades were initiated by the Catholic Church in order to gain control of Jerusalem again, as it has fallen into the hands of the Muslims. While the Catholic Church had its goals in conquering Jerusalem, including wealth and power, it didn't foresee that the organizing of the Crusades it's going to actually backfire on it and make the biggest blow to it.

The Crusades themselves had mixed outcomes, sometimes winning, sometimes losing. What had a much greater effect was that the Crusaders managed to bring in Europe a lot of things from Asia which turned out to change the course of history.

Because the Crusaders were in constant contact with the Muslims, they brought in numerous technological advancements in Europe. Also, through them, some of the ancient literature from Greece and Rome came back to Europe.

This prompted a huge interest among the people, especially the ones higher in the hierarchy, as they saw the potential of the new technology, but also the potential for the future based on the ancient literature. The end result was a technological boom in Europe, a loss of power by the Catholic Church, the Age of Discoveries, or all put in one, the Renaissance.
