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

Makovka662 [10]

Lysistrata, the representative of the women, argued that women and children are always at the receiving end whenever war ensues. She told the magistrate that men abandon their wives and children during war to pursue an unnecessary military career, which makes their wives and children to suffer severely.

They are persuasive arguments because she was able to convince the magistrate who in turn condemned the men for not adequately monitoring their wives.

Another type of love that was expressed in the play was Mania-obsessive love. This is evident from the fact that the women found it difficult to control themselves and had to go back to their men for sex.

Pragma- enduring love, was also another type of love expressed in the play because the men were very determined to continue sexual affairs with their wives despite continual denial.

Increasing feelings of nationalism among many groups led to which consequence after World War 1?
Anna11 [10]
One very negative consequence of increased feelings of nationalism after WWI was the rise of fascism or so-called national socialism in countries like Germany and Italy. These governments appealed to nationalism and blamed such groups as the Jewish people for their economic problems in the late 20's and early 30's and also believed they had the right to invade and control other countries.
