History

This question refers to the trip that Dizzy Gillespie and his band made to Southern Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia in 1956. The main reason why this trip was organized was because the United States was interested in presenting a positive image of America abroad. One of the ideas that the group wanted to spread was that of anti-authoritarianism. This led them to oppose rules and regulations of government.

This idea was particularly powerful in Greece, which at the time had an authoritarian, unpopular government. The ideas spread by these people were so popular that people in Athens tossed their jackets in the air when Dizzy played, and even carried the musician on their shoulders through the streets of Athens. This showed that the music was a huge success.

What factors led to the growing economic crisis in farming?
solniwko [45]
In the 70's there had been e tremendous raise in grain exports to the Soviet Union, resulting in a steady rise in grain prices, which had led to banks readily offering loans at low interest rates and to farmers investing heavily and getting heavily into debt. All this investment however led to overproduction and consequently to a drop in grain prices and then, to a drop in land values.At the same time, interest rates went up, adding to the farmer's costs while revenues went down. On top of that, as a reaction to Russia's invasion of Afganistan the US President instituted a grain embargo to the Soviet Union. That meant that a major market for US grain disappeared overnight. The Russians started buying their grain elsewhere, meaning that even after the embargo was lifted US farmers could not realize anything like their former export volumes or <span>prices.</span>
