Hello. You forgot to put the text that serves as the basis for this question, the text is:

Public opinion on WWI was divided in the U.S. Some Americans, notably socialists, Christian pacifists, anarchists, women’s groups, unionists, and intellectuals, opposed the war. Some of these pacifists believed war was immoral, while “radicals” believed the government was entering war not to “make the world safe for democracy,” as Wilson claimed, but rather to serve the interest of capitalists. Other Americans strongly supported U.S. entry into the war in light of the Zimmerman telegram and the sinking of the Lusitania.

In 1916 President Wilson won re-election running on the slogan “He Kept Us Out of War.” After the revelation of the Zimmerman telegram and Germany beginning a program of unrestricted submarine warfare that threatened U.S. commercial shipping, Congress declared war in April 1917. That same month Wilson established the Committee on Public Information, a propaganda agency that galvanized public support for U.S. war aims. The president pushed through Congress the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918, which suppressed anti-British, proGerman, and anti-war opinions. Over 1,500 people were prosecuted and over 1,000 convicted under these laws, many for small acts of dissent. His administration saw the arrest and dep

Answer:

The historical context may have influenced the content of the documents, showing that there was a divergence and opinions about the real reasons and objectives of the US participation in the war.

Explanation:

The text presents the position of the USA in the cold war and as the justification for this, it had controversies, both in the population, as in politicians and intellectuals, who believed that the war was an excuse to impose imperialism and defend the objectives of capitalism.

This historical context, allows a greater interpretation of what is being exposed in the documents, because it allows the understanding of the discrepancy of ideas and concepts that were defended at the time.

Many European countries competed with each other to add new territory to their empires in the late nineteenth and early twentiet

svetlana [45]

Answer:

Imperialism had consequences that affected the colonial nations, Europe, and the world. It also led to increased competition among nations and to conflicts that would disrupt world peace in 1914. European imperialism did not begin in the 1800s.

Between the 1870s and 1900, Africa faced European imperialist aggression, diplomatic pressures, military invasions, and eventual conquest and colonization. At the same time, African societies put up various forms of resistance against the attempt to colonize their countries and impose foreign domination.

British desire for natural resources, slave labors and political dominance brought about long-term effects to South Africa, the negative effects include widespread racial discrimination and economic exploitation, but there were few positive effects which were the advances in agriculture, mining industry and education.

The European imperialism in Africa produced three main effects that were manifested in the form of death of the inhabitants due to European diseases, shortage of natural resources and an increase in revolutions and wars after uprisings in many countries.

Now that you have learned about life in pastoral societies, you will be writing a short narrative imagining yourself as a member

Hello! I decided to write this for you ^^ I hope this helps

I woke up feeling extremely lethargic. The sheep and cows were already making a racket. <em>What is going on?</em>, I wondered as I jumped to my feet and ran outside of my tent. And sure enough, there was a rabid, angry fox chasing around my animals.

This is the kind of thing us pastoral nomads hate. We would do anything to protect our animals, but we never imagined having to risk our lives for them. I mean, we're not going to eat them or anything. They make good company.

Suddenly, a loud yelp brought me to my senses as the fox lunged towards my favorite sheep. That sheep would bring all my money in, enough to get by and buy a few things at the local market many miles away. Not my prized sheep. I grabbed my staff and struck ten good blows at the fox and it collapsed to the floor. I rounded up my animals and vowed to move again to prevent such a situation again.
