How did World War II influence colonies to seek independence? ANSWER IN FULL PARAGRAPH

History
1 answer:
kap26 [50]3 years ago
4 0

World War II was, as the name suggests, a global combat, led by two Military alliances: The Allies (The USA, Russia, the UK and China) and The Axis (Germany, Italy and Japan). It took place from 1939 to 1945. Deaths in this period are estimated between 50 to 80 million.

From 1945 to 1952 over 30 nations achieved independence, mainly from Asia and Africa. There was huge spending in colonies that were <em>poor and underdeveloped</em>, and after the war, there was a lot of reconstruction and recovery to be done by the countries, so not only was it an ideological but also financial break from imperial countries. If you take India, for example, Britain would spend over $1 Billion per year in India, money that could be spent in Britain's recovery from the war instead of a colony. So colonies were a great source of resources but also a big financial responsibility.

Summarizing, after the end of the war, imperial countries had to focus their spending in their own territory to recover from the war, which opened the road of decolonization. Not all processes of independence were peaceful. Some countries had to go through revolutions, as others needed only to sign agreements. However, World War II really opened the way for decolonization.

Explain how the Framers of the Constitution divided American government to create a democracy. a) Describe and give examples of
Artist 52 [7]
T<span>he Framers of the Constitution divided American government into three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial. This created a better democracy because the power is not concentrated within one branch or in the hands of a few. 

The systems in </span><span>place that protect against one branch having too much power is called "separation of powers" and "checks and balances." This system keeps each branch from getting too powerful by limiting its powers. For example, the legislative branch can pass a law but the president veto it. That's a way the executive branch checks the legislative. And let's say the legislature really wants to pass that law, so they vote on it. With 2/3 majority of votes for the law, Congress can override the president's veto. That's a way the legislative branch checks on the executive. And let's say that although that law was passed by the legislature, some say that it's unconstitutional. If that happens, then the judicial branch checks out the law and can declare it unconstitutional. If it's declared unconstitutional, then the law will be no longer enforced or valid. That's a way the judicial branch checks the other branches. 

Other examples of "checks and balances" is how the president is in charge of the armed forces, but only Congress can declare war. The judicial branch interprets laws and their constitutionality, but the president appoint the federal judges. The president appoints the federal judges, but the legislative branch has to approve those officials. The legislative branch also decides how many judges would be in the Supreme Court. The president can veto and the judicial can repeal laws, but the legislature can impeach the president and federal judges/officials. 

These systems are important to American democracy because they keep the government from getting too powerful and oppressing the people. </span>
