History

Answer: Because the GI Bill was successful for only part of the population.

Explanation:

GI Bill is a law passed in 1944 promoted to help soldiers mobilized during the 2nd world war to rejoin in the society. The benefits that the soldiers would have are; financial aid by a year, facility to obtain loans of a house or small business and financing of its technical or university studies. This economic drive led to economic and social development between 1950 and 1960.

However, even though the law intended to help all soldiers, there was discrimination and segregation when it was granted; African American soldiers and women were less benefited, or had greater obstacles to obtaining benefits; for example, universities did not allow people of color to enroll, and they were not granted financing to purchase housing.

For this reason, the GI Bill was a success for white soldiers returning from the war, but it did not equally benefit the entire population, with African Americans and women being discriminated against.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
Serhud [2]
Europeans did not have the right to colonize other people. Although at the time they viewed themselves as the superiors of the world, colonizing other nations lead to many nations becoming similar to European countries and being forced to do labor rather than develop their own culture and system. Europeans could have achieved their goals of wealth and power without colonizing other people. This could've been achieved by creating alliances with nations they wished to colonize rather than completely taking them over. This would've lead to not only peaceful and larger relations but beneficial circumstances to both parties.

Hope this helps!

Use your completed Student Guide for this lesson to answer the following question. Which event led the British government to shu
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The event that led the British government to shut down the East India Company and rule India directly was the Sepoy Mutiny.

Explanation:

The Sepoy Mutiny, was a revolt against British rule in India through the British East India Company. It took place in 1857–58, and was caused by violated religious sentiments and disregard for local social rights.

The rebellion was initiated by the large group of Indian soldiers under the collective name sepoys, who were set to serve in the service of the British East India Company.  

The hard work of the great British trading company to enlarge British possessions in India and Europeanize the colonized areas created great resistance. The immediate cause of the outbreak was sustained and rapidly spread rumors that the rifle ammunition used by the Sepoy regiments was loaded with a mixture of cow and pig fat. They used the Model 1853 Enfield, which were mouth chargers, and the method of loading a rifle was to bite the paper cartridge and hold the bullet in its mouth while inserting the gunpowder into the gun. However, if the paper and bullet were smeared in cow or pig fat, both the Hindu and Muslim religious regulations were violated.

The rebellion spread rapidly to virtually all British-controlled parts of India, and the fighting was particularly fierce in the north, where fierce clashes and massacres took place. Nepalese ruler Jung Bahadur Rana of the Gurkha government in Nepal saw an opportunity to form an alliance with the British and supported the fight against the revolt in Lucknow. This later became the reason why Nepal gained certain national benefits, as did an agreement on the supply of Gurkha soldiers to the British regiments in India.  

After the rebellion was fought, the British East India Company was dissolved and the British Government and Parliament in London took direct control of the area through British India.
