s unique in our history “?
History

Roosevelt does this by gradually comparing previous historical precedents of American history with the current moment. He starts his demonstrative enumeration with 1789, a very symbolic year since it is the year when the Constitution of the US came to have legal force (it is also the year of the French Revolution which is hardly a coincidence). Roosevelt delivered this speech before Congress on January 6th, 1941. Context is paramount here: at that point in time, WWII was well under way, and Nazi Germany and the Axis powers were winning victory after victory. France had already fallen (thence the date of 1789 is definitely not a coincidence), so had Norway, Denmark, Belgium, The Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, etc. the only major Western European country that still resisted Nazi Germany was the United Kingdom and Churchill was desperately in need of both material and moral support from America. The Nazi army seemed unstoppable and the Blitz was raging over London. Roosevelt shows that due to technological advances the world was much smaller than the previous antebellum world in which the great oceanic distances between America and Europe/Asia protect the former from invasion or political turmoil. Also, the viciousness and the hostility of the Axis made it inevitable that once they had secured dominance of Europe and its colonies, they would come for the USA. Because of such dangerous and imminent threats, this moment was unique in history and Roosevelt provided factual evidence of that in its speech.

MacArthur wanted to bomb China and use nationalist Chinese forces on Taiwan against the communists. Truman rebuffed him. In a 1973 article in Time magazine, Truman was quoted as having said, off the record, in the early 1960s: “I fired him because he wouldn't respect the authority of the president.

How did Constantinople's Church of Hagia Sophia demonstrate how the Byzantine Empire blended with the old Roman Empire?
marshall27 [118]

I believe the answer is: A. The church combined both Greek and Roman architecture, and became a melting pot where Eastern and Western cultures came together.

The combination became a proof of Cultural Assimilation that occurs between eastern and western church due to the good relation that exist between them. This indicate that in the past people from Byzantine and Roman empire were free to visit each other's region either for business, tourism , or studying.

Analyze the ways in which TWO of the following influenced the development of American society: - Puritanism during the seventeen
kifflom [539]
  • Puritanism a religious tradition that developed in America which eventually influenced the people to start the American Revolution. Puritanism defended that families should be the center of society, which eventually led to the widespread of patriarchal households with high fertility. This eventually led to the development of towns with a strong sense of community, since the town represented a family that should be taken care of. Puritanism also influenced the government since it influenced the formation of a local government that was run by town meetings. Another very important element of Puritanism was the “predestination” sentiment, which eventually led to Manifest Destiny.
  • Enlightenment also influenced American society, it was an 18th-century movement that started in Europe but influenced Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Thomas Paine, and Benjamin Franklin. It separated religion from the government and questioned the answers that the Bible had for several natural phenomenons. The Enlightenment influenced people to get more educated and learn about science so it could improve their lives, which eventually led to the rise of Isaac Newton and John Locke. John Locke influenced the Founding Fathers especially when he spoke about the natural rights that every human must have - life, liberty, and property -. These rights were in the Declaration of Independence and in the US Constitution which shaped the American society to this day.
