As the Cold War unfolded in the decade and a half after World War II, the United States experienced phenomenal economic growth. The war brought the return of prosperity, and in the postwar period the United States consolidated its position as the world's richest country. Gross national product, a measure of all goods and services produced in the United States, jumped from about $200 thousand-million in 1940 to $300 thousand-million in 1950 to more than $500 thousand-million in 1960. More and more Americans now considered themselves part of the middle class.
The growth had different sources. The automobile industry was partially responsible, as the number of automobiles produced annually quadrupled between 1946 and 1955. A housing boom, stimulated in part by easily affordable mortgages for returning servicemen, fueled the expansion. The rise in defense spending as the Cold War escalated also played a part.
1. The colony was founded mainly by planters from the overpopulated English sugar island of Barbados, who brought relatively large numbers of African slaves from that island to establish new plantations. To meet agricultural labor needs, colonists also practiced Indian slavery for some time.
2. Slaves included captives from wars and slave raids; captives bartered from other tribes, sometimes at great distances; children sold by their parents during famines; and men and women who staked themselves in gambling when they had nothing else, which put them into servitude in some cases for life.
3. In New England, it was common for enslaved people to learn specialized skills and crafts due to the area's more varied economy. Ministers, doctors, and merchants also used slave labor to work alongside them and run their households. As in the South, enslaved men were frequently forced into heavy or farm labor.
4. The jobs in each region were different because they all harvest and require different needs.
5. England's southern colonies in North America developed a farm economy that could not survive without slave labor. Many slaves lived on large farms called plantations. These plantations produced important crops traded by the colony, crops such as cotton and tobacco.
6. While working on plantations in the Southern United States, many slaves faced serious health problems. Improper nutrition, unsanitary living conditions, and excessive labor made them more susceptible to diseases than their owners; the death rates among the slaves were significantly higher due to diseases.
7. The colonists could of used animals or done it themselves.
The Munich Agreement should not have been approved by the Parliament.
Explanation:
The Munich Agreement was at the end of a long list of policies of appeasement that ended up aggravating and resulted in the world war. This was avoidable because after the Versailles treaty either the powers could have doubled down on Germany or offered them more generous terms.
Instead what was done was that the Nazis were allowed to take over smaller territories while the allied nations sat back and watched and agreed to it. This emboldened Germany and eventually made the war possible.
The main activity that helped Renaissance ideas spread to Northern Europe was the growth of the towns and social interactions between cultures. Another activity was printing and the use of the vernacular, which helped the Renaissance and also increased learning.
