The Populist Party wanted to push several issues at the time in the 1890s in the United States.
1. Free Silver--one of their biggest platforms was to change the currency to free silver to make it more affordable for the average person to use, instead of having money backed up by the gold standard.
2. Eight hour workday--They wanted to have workers and laborers be given an eight hour workday to give workers better working conditions than what they currently faced.
3. Income tax--They wanted to have a federal income tax (which later becomes the 16th Amendment) to have different taxes for people based on their income, or how much money they would make. So essentially, a very wealthy person would have higher taxes than a poor person.
4. Regulation of the railroad--They wanted the government to regulate the railroad instead of the big businesses regulating the railroad and coming up with the prices. The farmers especially felt as though it was not fair to allow the business owners to set the prices.
The Populist Party was essentially called the People's Party because they wanted to better represent and recognize the common people in government.

Correct answer:
<h2>C. prevent further expansion of Soviet domination of other nations </h2>
Explanation/context:
The policy of containment set the tone for US foreign policy by focusing on keeping communism and the Soviet Union's influence limited, rather than by trying to confront the Soviet Union directly or eliminate communism completely.
George F. Kennan was the one who recommended the policy of containment as the Cold War began. Kennan was an American diplomat in Moscow after World War II. In 1946, he sent what became known as "the long telegram" of his advice about what the USA needed to do about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). In those days, everyone feared an ultimate confrontation between the USA and the USSR -- that the Cold War would someday explode into a massive heated conflict between the superpowers. Kennan, in Moscow, had much foresight to see the internal problems the USSR had. He advised not pushing the conflict too much, but instead just try to "contain" the Soviet Union and wait for their system to collapse under the weight of its own problems. Kennan was right. It took almost 50 years, but eventually the communist system in the USSR fell apart. [The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics came to an end in 1991.]

Answer:</h2>
<u>C) A financial crisis</u> triggered the French Revolution.
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
Many factors caused the French revolution but most of them stemmed from poverty and financial crisis. France was divided into three estates which due to some politics and other issues led to social inequalities.
One cause of the revolution was because the two states had privileges like collecting tithe and paying taxes was not a requirement while the third state paid hefty taxes. Therefore, the third state rebelled in retaliation. Another cause was the financial crisis due to countless battles fought.
The battles cost France a lot leading to the economic crisis and brink of bankruptcy. These wars include the war which French formed allies with America in the pursuit of American independence. Other factors include poor harvest and increased bread prices. There had been a volcano eruption which led to bad weathers, poor harvest, poverty, and famines. This exasperated the retail price of staple food and other supplies.
