There were two major motives behind English expansion to the North American continent--the first of which was Puritans trying to escape religious persecution back in England, and the second of which was the English crown wanting to gain more resources and territory in the New World.
<span>Theodore Roosevelt supported businesses in this manner. He felt that businesses that operated fairly and treated their workers like integral assets should be allowed to do what they needed to. However, those that took advantage of their workers and tried to cut corners should be regulated and have penalties brought against them for such actions.</span>
Answer: The United States won because it stopped the spread of communism in South Korea. The Korean Peninsula had the same borders at the end of the war as it did at the beginning.
Explanation:
- Both statements are factual, and we can take both into account. America and its allies have stopped the advance of communist forces from the north of the Korean peninsula, which were supported by Chinese authorities, and material aid from the Soviet Union. If America and the Allies did not get involved, the Korean peninsula would look like the northern part today. Therefore, the Western powers have stopped the penetration of totalitarianism into the territory of North Korea.
- On the other hand, the war did not bring about any significant territorial changes. In the war, the domination of both sides was changing. At the end of the war, a "38th parallel" was established, representing the border between the two warring parties (since officially no Korean recognized the end of the conflict).
Answer:
Inflation
Explanation:
During the early 1920’s the Weimar Republic (German government from 1918 to 1933) was affected by Hyperinflation*, particularly in 1923. This happened because Germany had many debts they could not afford: a) the Reichstag (German parliament until 1918) funded the costs of WWI by borrowing money, which they could not repay after the War, as Germany was defeated by the Allies and could not annex the rich territories they tried to occupy; b) after the Great War the debt was increased as the Allies imposed very large reparation sums to be paid by Germany (Treaty of Versailles and London Payment Plan).
With the London Payment Plan, Germany had to repay the money in gold or foreign currency in annual installments. When they started the repayments in gold marks, during the summer of 1921, the paper mark started to lose value because after the repayment they started to buy foreign currency at any rate, which started to depreciate the paper mark. This caused that by 1922 Germany was not able to buy foreign currency or gold in paper marks, so they had to start exchanging them for goods; and so, they were not able to make the repayments. Then, in 1923, to ensure Germany paid the reparations agreed France and Belgium occupied the Ruhr valley, which prompted workers to go on a strike. This meant that there was no income from production. So Germany had to print more paper marks to pay for salaries, which inundated the market with paper marks, devaluating the currency and creating a hyperinflation. By November 1923 a USD was equivalent to 4,210,500,000,000 marks.
<u>* Hyperinflation</u>: when inflation is very high and happens in a very short time. As the general price of goods and services increases, the real value of the currency highly decreases. The purchasing power of the currency decreases. This means that, for example, with one dollar you can buy less things than before inflation. Therefore, people cannot buy essentials as their prices become exorbitant.
