In 1949, the Soviet Union detonated its first atomic device, ending the United States' short reign as the sole atomic power on Earth. The entry of the Soviets into the atomic club made Americans nervous, not to mention a little suspicious: how did the USSR get the bomb so fast?

When it came to light that Soviet spies in the US atomic program had passed secrets to Russia, Americans began to worry that spies might be lurking in every corner of society. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, there were several highly-publicized espionage trials that convicted leading scientists and government figures of espionage, culminating in the 1953 execution of scientist Julius Rosenberg and his wife Ethel for passing information about the atomic bomb to Russia. These convictions served to justify fears that spies could be active throughout the country.

Decline in trade - shift to a rural society

Explanation:

The fall of the Roman Empire brought significant changes in the mode of rule and governance. After the fall, the empire was governed by the warrior kings. The traditional and community guidelines were given priority than the written laws. There was a drastic change in the economic stability of the empire as well. The economy inclined towards the agricultural sector as the result of the collapse of the trade. It was because of the decline in the trade that shifted the empire towards the rural society.

The Declaration of Independence was neither a declaration of war (war had already broken out) or a legal document, so why was it

Valentin [98]

Answer: The dec. of independence was a document stating that men from England wanted freedom to start a new country in America.

Explanation: Jefferson and the other men that signed it all came in terms. These people wanted out of England’s ways and rules. Starting a new country was ideal. Creating a document was the more formal way for the split however with war breaking out to gain the country back, the document was a threat to England leaders.
