Why did the student protest at Tiananmen Square of 1989 fail?

it was a mistake for the United States to make an alliance with the Soviet totalitarian communist union during World War II

butalik [34]

I'll assume that's a thesis statement meant for argument or debate. An argument could be made on either side, depending on your point of view.

On the one hand, the United States and the Soviet Union had dramatically different worldviews. The US system of democracy and capitalism was at odds with the USSR system of totalitarian rule and communist collectivism. The two nations were allied only for the sake of defeating Germany and Japan in the Second World War, and were in opposition to each other in about every other way. Following the war, they became bitter opponents in the Cold War.
On the other hand, the USA and the other Allies in World War II needed the help of the Soviet Union in order to defeat the combined threat of Germany and Japan. The USSR suffered millions of casualties due to the war -- more than any other nation. They bore the brunt of the fighting against Germany, even before the US entered the war. And President Roosevelt, while not in agreement with the governing philosophy of Joseph Stalin, still thought he was someone that could be worked with cooperatively. (When President Truman took over after Roosevelt's death, he did not share that same view of Stalin and the USSR.)

So the matter can be argued from both sides. Pick your side and write a strong essay!

Where did Czar Nicholas I exile suspected dissenters?

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Siberia.

Explanation:

Tsar Nicholas, I was the emperor or Tsar of Russia from 1825 to 1885 despite lacking any leadership skills. He also ensured that there is a strict policy of repression, be it in the educational sector, publishing, or even other areas of public life. He exercised extreme censorship in the life of the people, posing secret agents or spies among the people to maintain fear among them.

Due to his extreme hold over the people, there came numerous dissenting voices, some asking for the end of his rule. This led the Tsar to exile those dissenters. One among such dissenters was Taras Shevchenko, who was exiled to Siberia after the poet wrote a poem about the Tsar and his wife, and his policies.

Thus, the correct answer is Siberia.

A) Jefferson's primary goal is improving the welfare of Indians by helping them become farmers.

B) Jefferson believes that the only way to prevent violence against Indians is to make them into U.S. citizens.

C) Jefferson wants Indian land for the American people and believes converting Indians to farmers is the best way to get their land.

D) The best way to approach the Indians is to make them feel like friends rather than enemies.

E)The best way to approach the Indians is to make them afraid of the might of the U.S. military.

F) The best way to approach the Indians is to allow them to keep living their lives as they wish so long as they cede some of their land to settlers.

EXCERPT FROM PRESIDENT JEFFERSON'S PRIVATE LETTER TO WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, GOVERNOR OF THE INDIANA TERRITORY, February 27, 1803

But this letter being unofficial, and private, I may with safety give you a more extensive view of our policy respecting the Indians... [The] system is to live in perpetual peace with the Indians, to cultivate an affectionate attachment from them, by every thing just & liberal which we can [offer] them within the bounds of reason, and by giving them effectual protection against wrongs from our own people. The decrease of game rendering their subsistence by hunting insufficient, we wish to draw them to agriculture... When they withdraw themselves to the culture of a small piece of land, they will perceive how useless to them are their extensive forests, and will be willing to pare them off from time to time in exchange for necessaries for their farms & families. To promote this disposition to exchange lands which they have to spare and we want for necessaries, which have to spare and they want, we shall push our trading houses, and be glad to see the good and influential individuals among them run in debt, because we observe that when these debts get beyond what the individuals can pay, they become willing to lop them off by a cession of lands... In this way our settlements will gradually circumscribe and approach the Indians, and they will in time either incorporate with us as citizens of the United States or remove beyond the Mississippi. The former is certainly the termination of their history most happy for themselves. But in the whole course of this, it is essential to cultivate their love.

Answer:

D) The best way to approach the Indians is to make them feel like friends rather than enemies.

F) The best way to approach the Indians is to allow them to keep living their lives as they wish so long as they cede some of their land to settlers.

Explanation:

Jefferson´s central idea is to "cultivate" the Indian´s love, looking for a "perpetual peace" based on the premise that they exchange some of their lands for the settlers´ "necessaries", and eventually become citizens of the United States.

Of course, for Jefferson, given the case that they refuse, and decide to "remove beyond the Mississippi", the peaceful resolution becomes impossible.

Which of these objects would travel the farthest distance if you gave the same push force to each. a A boulder weighing 100 kg b

Virty [35]

Answer:

The object that would travel the farthest distance if you gave the same push force to each is:

D. a tennis ball weighing 1/3 kg.

Explanation:

There are three elements to consider here: force, mass, and acceleration. The instructions let us know that the push force is supposed to be the same for each object. Now, to find each object's acceleration, we must divide the force by the mass of the object. That means the higher the mass, the lowest the number we will get as a result. The lower the mass, the higher the number for acceleration. Having that in mind, and knowing that the object with the lowest mass is the tennis ball with a third of a kilogram, we can choose letter D as the correct option.
