Answer:

The Battle of Okinawa began on April 1, 1945 with the American invasion of the Japanese island of Okinawa and ended on June 30, 1945. From the Japanese perspective, Okinawa was the last line of defense to stand in the way of an Allied invasion of the main Japanese islands. Accordingly, the Allies planned to use Okinawa for air support for the planned invasion of the main islands. The fighting ended with the capture of the island by American troops. More than two-thirds of the Japanese defenders died in the course of the battle. There were also high casualties among the civilian population and on the American side. But it was also the first time that Japanese soldiers surrendered by the thousands.

Answer:

Explanation:

Katz Drug in downtown Oklahoma City was the setting of what's referred to as the tipping point in the nation's civil rights movement. That's where, in the fall of 1958, Clara Luper and 13 black children participated in a sit-in, silently and non-violently protesting segregation at the store's lunch counter. One of the greatest achievements of the civil rights movement, the Civil Rights Act led to greater social and economic mobility for African-Americans across the nation and banned racial discrimination, providing greater access to resources for women, religious minorities, African-Americans and low-income families.

olga55 [171]

The <u>Temperance Movement </u>is a Reform Movement that dealt with the issue of mental illness.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Temperance Movement was started as a Reform Movement for social cause. This movement aims in opposing the usage of alcoholic beverages. The people who led this movement explained the negative effects of alcohol on people.

Doctor Benjamin Rush published an article "An Inquiry Into the Effects of Ardent Spirits on the Human Mind and Body" in 1784. This article explains that the excessive consumption of alcohol is injurious to physical and psychological health. So the Temperance Movement was organized in U.S to limit the usage of alcoholic beverages.

The temperance movement not only helps in improving the physical health of the person, but also helps in improving the mental health.
