Answer:On August 13, 1961, the Communist government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR, or East Germany) began to build a barbed wire and concrete “Antifascistischer Schutzwall,” or “antifascist bulwark,” between East and West Berlin. The official purpose of this Berlin Wall was to keep Western “fascists” from entering East Germany and undermining the socialist state, but it primarily served the objective of stemming mass defections from East to West. The Berlin Wall stood until November 9, 1989, when the head of the East German Communist Party announced that citizens of the GDR could cross the border whenever they pleased. That night, ecstatic crowds swarmed the wall. Some crossed freely into West Berlin, while others brought hammers and picks and began to chip away at the wall itself. To this day, the Berlin Wall remains one of the most powerful and enduring symbols of the Cold War.

Industrial era/new world power
Tomtit [17]

American imperialism” is a term that refers to the economic, military, and cultural influence of the United States on other countries. First popularized during the presidency of James K. Polk, the concept of an “American Empire” was made a reality throughout the latter half of the 1800s. During this time, industrialization caused American businessmen to seek new international markets in which to sell their goods. In addition, the increasing influence of social Darwinism led to the belief that the United States was inherently responsible for bringing concepts such as industry, democracy, and Christianity to less developed “savage” societies. The combination of these attitudes and other factors led the United States toward imperialism.

The American Anti-Imperialist League was an organization established in the United States on June 15, 1898, to battle the American annexation of the Philippines as an insular area. The League also argued that the Spanish-American War was a war of imperialism camouflaged as a war of liberation. The anti-imperialists opposed the expansion because they believed imperialism violated the credo of republicanism, especially the need for “consent of the governed.” They did not oppose expansion on commercial, constitutional, religious, or humanitarian grounds; rather, they believed that the annexation and administration of third-world tropical areas would mean the abandonment of American ideals of self-government and isolation—ideals expressed in the U.S. Declaration of Independence, George Washington ‘s Farewell Address, and Abraham Lincoln ‘s Gettysburg Address. The Anti-Imperialist League represented an older generation and was rooted in an earlier era; they were defeated in terms of public opinion, the 1900 election, and the actions of Congress and the president because most younger Progressives who were just coming to power supported imperialism.

What program was put together to provide jobs and electricity to rare areas of the United States.
Anna11 [10]
I think the correct answer would be A. The program that was put together to provide jobs and electricity to rare areas of the United States would be the Tennessee valley authority. It was a corporation that was owned by the federal government that was created to provide fertilizer manufacturing, economic development, flood control methods and electricity to the Tennessee Valley since it is the area that is affected greatly by the Great Depression. This corporation was seen no only as a provider but as an economic development agency which would use resources in the federal agency to repair quickly the economy and the society.

Which of these illustrates Rome's legacy in our modern world?
Hitman42 [59]
Greek language is used little outside Greek (some small pockets in the ancient major cities), so it's not that. The Orthodox Church has no one center, no one supreme leader except Christ, who is not in Rome per se, so it's not that. We wear Roman clothes only to costume parties, so it's not that. Many of Europe's roads and parts of its water systems have been around for 2000 years.
