Answer:

The telegraph was used to communicate the exact time of nailing the final stake to the East and West Coast              

Explanation:

With the aid of the telegraph developed by Samuel Morse in the 1840s, messages on the exact time of pounding in the final stake to the railway line was transmitted to the East and West Coasts simultaneously which made the sounding of the bells at the same time possible. The telegraph as at then was the fastest means of sending messages across long distances and it worked by transmitting electrical signals over laid down wires from station to station, and by 1866, a telegraph line connected America to far away Britain

What was the main reason for the Armenian genocide?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Christian Armenians would not convert to the Muslim religion of the Ottoman Empire

Explanation:

The Armenian genocide had several reasons in the background as to why it happened, and one of those reasons was the religion. The Armenians were Christians, and it was what was keeping their identity strong during the long occupation of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans though, at this period of time, wanted to have a country where everyone would declare themselves as Turkish, and would also be Sunni Muslim, with the purpose of this being to have a unified nation and avoid further partition of the empire. The Armenians did not wanted to give up on their ethnicity, nor their religion. That angered the Ottoman authorities, and afraid that the Armenians might try and separate part of their territory, they started to systematically perform genocide on them, with the end result being over 1.5 million dead Armenians, and many more separated from their families and homes forever.

The cold war was a result of?​
ahrayia [7]

The Cold War was the result of the build up of tension between the US and USSR following WWII & the expansion of each nation's ideals and beliefs.

The US & USSR were odd allies, who, without Axis aggression, would not have worked together in the first place. Both sides had different economic systems that were against each other, as well as different political beliefs on how government and the rights of people should be laid out. The Cold War was the result of increased tension that led to both sides trying to become more superior to the other (which in the end led to arm races, complex alliances, and proxy wars).

How did the newly formed united nations respond to the acts of genocide committed during world war two
Tju [1.3M]
The first "UN" Security Council meeting took place in London, the United Kingdom in 1946. The state of modern day Israel was founded in 1948. Maybe it was something related to The Nuremberg Trials.

Good luck :)
