The Battle of Midway was a decisive naval battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Between 4 and 7 June 1942, only six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and one month after the Battle of the Coral Sea, the United States Navy under Admirals Chester Nimitz, Frank Jack Fletcher, and Raymond A. Spruance decisively defeated an attacking fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy under Admirals Isoroku Yamamoto, Chuichi Nagumo, and Nobutake Kondo near Midway Atoll, inflicting devastating damage on the Japanese fleet that proved irreparable. Military historian John Keegan called it "the most stunning and decisive blow in the history of naval warfare. Hope This Helps. c:

The policy described in the passage most contributed to which of the following Cold War developments? A. The rise of McCarthyism
g100num [7]
Without giving us the passage you have in front of you, maybe you can figure it out on your own (or perhaps already did).  Which of the themes is evident in the passage you're looking at?

The rise of McCarthyism:  Senator Joseph McCarthy led a vigorous campaign to root out all persons that had any suspicion of being communist sympathizers.

The elimination of the House Un-American Activities Committee:  That was part of the backlash against McCarthyism, seeing that McCarthy and others had gone to far in their anti-communism crusade.

Opposition to Republicans supporting the Korean War:  Though Truman's actions to get involve the United States in the war in Korean were initially popular, that popularity began to dwindle once China entered into the conflict and it became apparent this was going to be a protracted and difficult struggle.

The Truman Doctrine was first stated by the president to Congress in 1947, saying:  "I<span>t must be the policy of the United States to support free people who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures."  Essentially, the Truman Doctrine pledged American effort elsewhere in the world to check the spread of communist and Soviet influence.  The policy was first put into action in 1948 by providing economic support to Greece and Turkey to stave off communist movement in those countries.</span>

REY [17]

<em>Modifications in South Asia</em>, where almost 1.6 billion people live, are important measures to deal with urbanization and population growth. Research has estimated that almost 20 of 32 cities in India have water shortages on a daily basis. Residents of <em>Kathmandu </em>need to wait for hours to get water from the city. This modification helps with the control of water supply but restricts the amount of water to be used by the citizens.

Another South Asian government modification in <em>Pakistan</em>, hides vital information regarding water supply. Fort he government it is classified information, although there are treaties like the <em>Ganges Treaty</em>(1996) that supports the sharing of international information regarding hydroeletric. This is a measure that the Pakistan authorities consider critical for the control and benefit of water. But the lack of information sharing has also affected the government’s ability to deal effectively with natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and landslides .
