The Soviet Union was bringing missiles to Cuba which America wanted to stop because Cuba is very close to Florida. America put a lot of ships around Cuba to stop the Soviet Union from bringing them the missiles. The Soviet and American ships met and had a standoff. If one of them would have fired, it would have started a war. To avoid this, the Soviet Union agreed to remove the missiles from Cuba if the United States removed their missiles from Europe. During this time the military was at the highest level of defcom as possible. It has never been as alert since then. The highest it has been since then was on 9/11.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.
The preparations that the colonists performed prior to the battle of Bunker Hill were the following.
The colonists were very aware of the imminent attack of the English troops. So Colonel William Prescott prepared the colonists to defend the hills that surrounded the town. At the very top of Beed Hill, almost 1000 colonists decided to build some walls and fortifications to impede the march of the British soldiers that came from the city of Boston.
The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought on Jule 17, 1775, and although the British won the Battle, they had many casualties against an inexéienced army And this represented a moral victory that gave confidence to the colonists.
True because not one branch has significant advantage over the other.
The articles of confederation was a weak document that could not call armies, make a law that stuck with the states, create a currency or declare war without states approval...in short it was like a friendship agreement that barely anyone liked and needed to be changed...
