Correct answer: a. The Sussex Pledge
Explanation/details:
- Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, <em>Lusitania,</em> which had happened in May, 1915. When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the <em>Lusitania</em>, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship. After the <em>Sussex, </em>a French passenger ferry, was sunk in 1916, the US demanded and got a promise from Germany to stop their unrestricted submarine attacks. Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at that time by the Sussex Pledge. But two years, later, beginning February 1, 1917, the Germans resumed such attacks. This poised America to go to war.
Answer:
The correct answer for each of the descriptions is the following:
- The Command economy
- Mixed Market Economy
- Market Economy
Explanation:
- A command economy is a system where the government, rather than the free market, determines what goods should be produced, how much should be produced, and the price at which the goods are offered for sale. This type of economy matches that of a communist society.
- The mixed economy refers to an economic model that uses the market to allocate resources, but in which the State intervenes to regulate its operation, incorporates elements of the free market economy and the planned economy, or a proposal in which the private ownership of capitalism and the collective ownership of socialism coexist in order to include broader social considerations in an economic system.
- Market economy means the organization and allocation of the production and consumption of goods and services that arises from the game between supply and demand. The characteristic that defines the importance of the market economy is that decisions on investment and the allocation of production goods are made mainly through markets and the government has no involvement.
