I'm going to say TRUE ... although it would help to have more specific context on the span of history your question covers when it says, "historically speaking." And by "US army casualties," I wonder if the question means only the Army and not Navy, Air Force or other branches of service.


Let's look at the overall picture. As reported by the New York Times in 2003, upt that point in the history of the US at war, over 650,000 Americans were killed in combat. Another 243,000 died during the time that wars were being fought, but from training accidents, injury or disease.


The accident rate of deaths for US military personnel seems overall higher in recent years. As reported by the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, from 2004 to 2007, deaths caused by war-related injuries accounted for 40% of all deaths of military personnel. Traffic accidents, other accidents, and suicide accounted for the other deaths. (Suicides accounted for 20% of military personnel during that period of statistical measurement.)

It is false that historically accidents are approximately 30% of casualties in the army. In 2011, the casualties specifically from war was 40%. Automobile accidents contributed to 37% of the deaths. Other accidents only contributed to 10% of deaths in the army. Suicides were a higher than accidental deaths at 20%.

Answer:

The Clark's doll test study

Explanation:

Studies by Dr. Kenneth and Mamie Clark in the 1940s which was known as the doll test was cited by the Supreme Court in the decision which overturned  separate but equal doctrine which was established in 1954 in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson.

The doll test was aimed at studying the psychological effect of segregation on African American children in which children between the ages of 3 to 7 were asked to identify the dolls they preferred and majority of them picked the white and attributed good qualities to it.

During the case between Brown and the Board of Education of Topeka, this experiment was cited by the Supreme Court in delivering their verdicts in favour of Brown prohibited segregation of black children in the education system.

How did france build a centralized monarchy after the wars of religion
wel
The era of 16th century was hugely influenced by conflicts on religion which resulted to wars and the rise of Lutheranism. The disputes that existed during these times prompted reflections on theoretical norms which paved way in strengthening the monarchical power. This had helped overcome the crisis and merged the political situation, internally and externally.
