In the 1970s, the nation experienced an oil boom. How did this affect Louisiana's economy?

History

By 1986, shops on Canal Street were closed and windows were boarded up and colorfully painted. Just a decade earlier,

But by the mid-1980s, one in eight workers was unemployed in Louisiana, the highest unemployment rate in the nation. The cruelest impact was on families, as fathers left their children and wives.

One of the biggest hits fell on the small bayou communities that had thrived in the 1970s. In Morgan City, one in four were jobless.

As oil prices dropped – as low as $10 a barrel – some pessimists said Louisiana’s heyday as a prosperous and carefree supplier of energy was over forever. Even if prices rebounded, they said, the Gulf was running out of recoverable oil. But technology proved them wrong, as new deepwater drilling techniques allowed energy companies to find oil and gas in ways that would not have been imaginable just 25 years ago.

Sergio [31]

Answer:  How did the Soviet Union respond to the Hungarian independence movement in 1956?

The Soviets did so, but Nagy then tried to push the Hungarian revolt forward by abolishing one-party rule. He also announced that Hungary was withdrawing from the Warsaw Pact (the Soviet bloc's equivalent of NATO). On November 4, 1956, Soviet tanks rolled into Budapest to crush, once and for all, the national uprising. Between 4 and 8 November 1956, Nikita S. Khrushchev ordered the Red Army to put down the Hungarian Uprising by force. Soviet troops attacked en masse and abolished the independent national government. Hungary was immediately subjected to merciless repression, and hundreds of thousands of Hungarians fled to the West.Khrushchev refused to accept Hungary leaving the Warsaw Pact as it would leave a gap in the USSR's buffer zone with Western Europe. Thousands of Soviet tanks and soldiers entered Hungary to crackdown on the protests.Why was there opposition to Soviet control in Hungary 1956?

In 1956 the people of Hungary began to protest about their lack of basic political freedoms, e.g. to vote, or free speech. They also were angry at fuel shortages and poor harvests – nothing makes people more likely to riot against the government than if they are cold and hungry! initially anarchic, during the Hungarian Uprising the Hungarian people culminated in protests against domestic policies imposed by the USSR, and the people formed together in protest against the Soviet Union. The Hungarian flag with the Communist coat of arms (1948–56) cut out was a revolutionary symbol.
