What happened on 27 October at checkpoint Charlie

History

U.S. diplomat Allan Lightner attempted to cross Checkpoint Charlie to attend the opera in East Berlin. East German border guards demanded to see Lightner’s passport, but he refused on the grounds that only Soviet officials had the authority to inspect his papers. He only got through the checkpoint after he left and returned with a complement of armed U.S. soldiers and military jeeps. When East German officials continued to deny Americans entry into East Berlin, U.S. General Lucius Clay put on a show of force by moving 10 M-48 tanks into position around Checkpoint Charlie. The East Germans’ Soviet allies responded by positioning three-dozen T-55 tanks near the eastern border. On October 27, 10 of them rode forward to meet the American armor. For some 16 hours, the two sides stared each other down in one of the only armed confrontations of the Cold War. The potential for World War III was only averted when President John F. Kennedy contacted Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev and convinced him to withdraw his tanks. A few minutes later, the American M-48s also left the scene.

1) Almost all French Canadians opposed conscription; they felt that they had no particular loyalty to either Britain or France. Led by Henri Bourassa, they felt their only loyalty was to Canada. English Canadians supported the war effort as they felt stronger ties to the British Empire.

2) i dont know. sorry

3) The Laurier-Greenway compromise had important consequences for French Canadians and the growing immigrant population. Any community with 10 or more students who spoke a language other than English could establish a separate school. Bilingual teachers would conduct classes using English and the language of the immigrant community.

4) Laurier's Bachelor of Education (BEd) program is highly progressive and future-oriented. Our courses blend 21st-century skills and global perspectives with a focus on the diverse needs of children and youth in today's schools.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: A) A. He wanted Vice President Arthur, a Stalwart, to take office.

President Garfield was a reformer who was against the Patronage Spoils System (a system that allowed you to get a job in the government even if you were not qualified).

Guiteau supported the Patronage spoils system, therefore he wanted a Stalwart to be President so the patronage spoils system would not be abolished.
