Simora [160]

Answer:

1) The September 11 attacks were a series of airline hijackings attacks committed in 2001 by 19 terrorists associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda. It was the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil; nearly 3,000 people were killed.

2) Brian Clark was one of only 18 people in the South Tower to escape from a floor where the plane struck

3) Three buildings in the World Trade Center collapsed due to fire-induced structural failure. The South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. having burned for 56 minutes in a fire caused by the impact of United Airlines Flight 175 and the explosion of its fuel. The North Tower collapsed at 10:28 after burning for 102 minutes.

4) The 9/11 terrorist attacks on America caused significant economic damage in the immediate aftermath, rippling through global financial markets. Airlines and insurance companies took the hardest immediate hit, and U.S. stock markets initially fell more than 10% in the days after.

Keith_Richards [23]

The power of Congress that allows them to declare war is <u>Number 11</u>.

It gives them the right to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The United States Congress has declared war 11 times since its creation against:

England in 1812;
Mexico in 1846;
Spain in 1898;
Germany in 1917 during the First World War;
Japan, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania between 1941 and 1942 during the Second World War.

The President can ask them to support the continuation of military operations during the conflict as well. It was particularly the case during the Vietnam War and the Gulf War.

Who issued the country's early currency and what was the principle problem that occurred?

Maru [420]

Benjamin Franklin....

Early American currency went through several stages of development during the colonial and post-Revolutionary history of the United States. Because few coins were minted in the thirteen colonies that became the United States, foreign coins like the Spanish dollar were widely circulated. Colonial governments sometimes issued paper money to facilitate economic activities. The British Parliament passed Currency Acts in 1751, 1764, and 1773 that regulated colonial paper money.

During the American Revolution, the colonies became independent states. Freed from British monetary regulations, they issued paper money to pay for military expenses. The Continental Congress also issued paper money during the Revolution, known as Continental currency, to fund the war effort. Both state and Continental currency depreciated rapidly, becoming practically worthless by the end of the war. This depreciation was caused by the government printing large amounts of currency in order to meet the demands of war.

In its weakened state, the Ottoman Empire was known as the “______Man of Europe.”

lys-0071 [83]

SICK

The Ottoman Empire was an important state that comprised vast territories in North Africa, Southeast Europe and the Middle East and lasted from 1299 to 1922.

By the mid-nineteenth century, nationalist and imperialist pressures began to threaten political stability and weaken the Ottoman Empire. Several distinct ethnicities began to claim territorial autonomy. During this period the Otopano Empire was nicknamed The Weak Man of Europe.

The Ottoman Empire participated in World War I, alongside the allied Germany, being quickly defeated. From then on, the Ottoman Empire was extinguished, giving rise to a republic, Turkey.
