After the attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States demanded that the Taliban ‘must surrender their leaders (Al Qaeda) to the United States'. President Bush demanded that the Taliban must 'surrender their leaders to the United States'.

EXPLANATION

President Bush pointed that, 'the war on terror begins with Al Qaeda, but it does not end there'. The war versus terrorists won’t end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated.

The September 11 attack was a series of four synchronized terrorist assault by the al-Qaeda Islamic terrorist group against the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The attack killed 2,977 people (not including 19 hijackers who were also killed, injured more than 6,000 others, and caused at least $10 billion in damage to infrastructure and property. An additional person has died of 9/11 related to cancer and respiratory diseases in the months and years after the attack.

Four passenger planes operated by two major US passenger airlines (United Airlines and American Airlines) - all departing from airports in the northeast of the United States to San Francisco and Los Angeles - were hijacked by 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists. Two planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, each crashed into the North and South towers, from the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan.

The debris and fires caused the collapse of some or all other buildings in the World Trade Center complex, including the 47-story World Trade Center tower with 7 floors, as well as significant damage to ten other large buildings in the vicinity. The third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, crashed into the Pentagon (U.S. Department of Defense headquarters) in Arlington County, Virginia, which caused the partial collapse of the west side of the building.

The fourth aircraft, United Airlines Flight 93, was originally flown to Washington, D.C., but crashed into a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after its passengers thwarted the hijackers. 9/11 was the single most deadly terrorist attack in human history and the single deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement in US history, with 343 and 72 killed respectively.

In what way was the us not prosperous after world war 1 ?

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The Progressive Era lasted from about 1890 to the outbreak of World War I. In response to the excesses of 19th-century capitalism and political corruption, a reform movement arose called "progressivism." Almost all the notable figures of the period were connected, at least in part, with the reform movement. The goals of the Progressives were greater democracy and social justice, honest government, more effective regulation of business and a revived commitment to public service. In general, they believed that expanding the scope of government would ensure the progress of U.S. society and the welfare of its citizens. The years 1902 to 1908 marked the era of greatest reform activity. Many states enacted laws to improve the conditions under which people lived and worked. Child labor laws were strengthened and new ones adopted, raising age limits, shortening work hours, restricting night work and requiring school attendance.

When World War I erupted in Europe in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson urged a policy of strict American neutrality. In January 1917, Germany declared unrestricted submarine warfare against all ships bound for Allied ports. After five American vessels had been sunk, Congress declared war on Germany in April 1917. An armistice ending World War I was declared on November 11, 1918. Wilson's idea of a League of Nations was included in the Treaty of Versailles, but the U.S. Senate did not ratify the treaty, and the United States did not participate in the league. The majority of Americans did not mourn the defeated treaty. They turned inward, and the United States withdrew from European affairs.

The changes wrought in the 1920s were far-reaching. The work week dropped from 60 to 48 hours. For the first time, play was considered to be as important as work. It was a wonderful decade for the arts and literature in America. Technology grew and automobiles, radios and movies became hugely popular. With profits soaring and interest rates low, plenty of money was available for investment. Much of it, however, went into reckless speculation in the stock market. In the fall of 1929, the New York Stock Exchange was more active than ever before. On October 24, 1929, Black Thursday, the stock market crashed. Banks closed. The nation stayed in this depression through most of the thirties.

For big business, the 1920s were golden years; but the superficial prosperity masked deep problems. The1920s were also a period of prohibition and intolerance, gangsters and crime. Almost 19 million people arrived in the United States between 1890 and 1921, the year Congress first passed severe restrictions. Most of these immigrants were from Italy, Russia, Poland, Greece and the Balkans. Non-Europeans came, too: east from Japan, south from Canada and north from Mexico.
