Answer:

The battle of Iwo Okinawa was a battle of the Japanese Imperial army military force against the U.S's military force.

On the U.S's side, they did it to attempt acess to mainland Japan, and on Japan's side they did it because it was mid WW2 and they couldn't let the allies stop their conquest to obtain China, the Korean peninsula, and the Philippine islands.

The battle went like this;  

  • The U.S invaded the island (in February 19, 1945) to try to get access to airfields of the island that was very near the coast (750 miles) of Japan to help plan an easier future mainland invasion into Japanese soil.
  • The battle lasted for 5 weeks, making it an excruciatingly bloody battle, having around 7,200 people killed.
  • The Japanese started running low on supplies so they had to surrender, U.S was victorious, the island fell into U.S forces.
  • The U.S also then later captured Mount Suribachi in the island and planted a flag at the summit.

Casualties: around 7,200

NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN BATTLE:  70,000 U.S soldiers and 18,000 Japanese soldiers

The sedition act of 1918
Virty [35]

The Sedition Act of 1918 (Pub.L. 65–150, 40 Stat. 553, enacted May 16, 1918) was an Act of the United States Congress that extended the Espionage Act of 1917 to cover a broader range of offenses, notably speech and the expression of opinion that cast the government or the war effort in a negative light or interfered with the sale of government bonds.

It forbade the use of "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language" about the United States government, its flag, or its armed forces or that caused others to view the American government or its institutions with contempt. Those convicted under the act generally received sentences of imprisonment for five to 20 years. The act also allowed the Postmaster General to refuse to deliver mail that met those same standards for punishable speech or opinion. It applied only to times "when the United States is in war." The U.S. was in a declared state of war at the time of passage, the First World War. The law was repealed on December 13, 1920.

Though the legislation enacted in 1918 is commonly called the Sedition Act, it was actually a set of amendments to the Espionage Act. Therefore, many studies of the Espionage Act and the Sedition Act find it difficult to report on the two "acts" separately. For example, one historian reports that "some fifteen hundred prosecutions were carried out under the Espionage and Sedition Acts, resulting in more than a thousand convictions."Court decisions do not use the shorthand term Sedition Act, but the correct legal term for the law, the Espionage Act, whether as originally enacted or as amended in 1918.

zhenek [66]

Ethnicity, Race and Culture One of the most complex and multifaceted factors that influence identity formation is ethnicity, race and culture. These aspects of our lives are continually evolving, both in the way the members of each group define their group and how society chooses to define these groups.

Our social identity differs from our personal identity in that the former is how we see ourselves in the eyes of others. Within the framework of our town, school, careers, or another local setting, people can identify us by our qualities. Each individual will be recognized by society based on these traits, after which the person will be grouped with others who share those traits. Our marital, financial, occupational, religious, or behavioral status may define some aspects of our social identities. impact on how society and we construct and categorize our identities Numerous internal and external elements, including society, family, loved ones, ethnicity, race, culture, geography, opportunity, media, interests, appearance, self-expression, and life events, have an impact on identity creation and progression.

The correct answer would be C.

France's difficult economic situation led Louis XVI to attempt a fiscal reform. Due to the opposition of the nobility to a tax reform that ended with privileges, the king convened the states general of 1789, an exceptional assembly that brought together members of the three states. The Thrid state, which had twice as many representatives as the other two states, dissatisfied with the system of voting by estates, that is , one vote per state, asked for a vote by people to be able to carry out their proposals.

In this way, on may 12, they invited the other states to join them in a single chamber, a proposal that was followed by some some members os the first state .

On june 17 this chamber calls itself the national assembly.
