History

timurjin [86]3 years ago

Answer:

  1. The Atlantic mentions that Operation Desert Storm was carried out by George H.W. Bush and was "a military operation to expel occupying Iraqi forces from Kuwait, which Iraq had invaded and annexed months earlier." It was America's first military conflict since the Vietnam war, which is why it's so important.
  2. NY Times states that "The gulf crisis hurt consumer confidence and snagged business spending on new plant and equipment. The slide into recession, together with the steep costs of bailing out the savings and loan associations, deepened the Federal budget deficit," meaning that the economy in the United States was affected negatively.
  3. NY Times also states that Operation Desert Storm "cost the United States and its allies $60 billion and helped set off an economic recession caused in part by a spike in oil prices. For that war, the allies picked up almost 80 percent of the bill." The United States liberated Kuwait as a result.

Letter from Jackie Robinson on Civil Rights.

The main reason that Jackie Robinson has to write his letter to President Eisenhower is that he hopes that the president will take immediate action to curb segregation laws at the federal level.

Explanation:

17 million Negroes cannot do as you suggest and wait for the hearts of men to change. We want to enjoy now the rights that we feel we are entitled to as Americans. This we cannot do unless we pursue aggressively goals which all other Americans achieved over 150 years ago.

As the chief executive of our nation, I respectfully suggest that you unwittingly crush the spirit of freedom in Negroes by constantly urging forbearance and give hope to those pro-segregation leaders like Governor Faubus who would take from us even those freedoms we now enjoy. Your own experience with Governor Faubus is proof enough that forbearance and not eventual integration is the goal the pro-segregation leaders seek.

In my view, an unequivocal statement backed up by action such as you demonstrated you could take last fall in dealing with Governor Faubus if it became necessary, would let it be known that America is determined to provide—in the near future—for Negroes—the freedoms we are entitled to under the constitution.

Explanation:

The Battle of the Marathon (490 BC) is a conflict between Athens and Platea with the Persian Empire during the Greco-Persian Wars. The battle ended with the complete victory of the Greek troops and marked the end of the First Persian Invasion of Greece. Persian King Darius and his army were defeated by the military assistance sent by Athens to the rebel Greeks in Ionia.

The Battle of Salamis was a naval battle between Greek city-states and the Persian Empire, ruled by King Xerxes in 480 BC. The battle ended with the decisive victory of the Greek fleet and it was the most important event for the second Persian invasion of Greece.

Cambyses was one of the few generals in history who had ever conquered Egypt. He was Achaemenid king of Persia conquered Egypt in 525.

King Cyrus was the Persian King of the Iranian Achaemenid dynasty, a warlord, legislator, and founder of the Persian Empire. He was considered a good king because he respected the tradition and religion of the nations he conquered. He respected all the nations he conquered, although they had to pay tribute.
