Answer:

The British wanted to control South Africa because it was one of the trade routes to India. However, when gold and diamonds were discovered in the 1860s-1880s their interest in the region increased. This brought them into conflict with the Boers. ... Tensions between Boers and British led to the Boer War of 1899-1902.

How would you have responded to the rising Cold War tension?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

This is entirely opinionated, but I'll remind you how much tension the Cold War brought. You can answer it either as a citizen or a world leader, I think.

Explanation:

The Cold War brought fear into practically everyone. Everyone was second guessing their friends, families, neighbors, even bosses to being Communist spies. The fear of someone, even in the government, being a spy wreaked havoc in society. Television began broadcasting commercials of what to do if your neighbor is a spy, there were advertisements in the paper, you couldn't go anywhere without being reminded of the Cold War. No Russian was trusted at this time. Not to mention there was the fear of a nuclear attack. There were fallout shelters made in people's homes, schools, and community gathering places. Cartoons were made for children to teach them what they should do if a nuclear warhead were to hit. It was basically Hell.

What causes led to the start of the Spanish-American war?
fomenos

Answer:

The right choice is:

C-Sinking of the uss maine, delome letter, desire for raw materials.

Explanation:

The American "yellow press" had been building public opinion support for an intervention by publishing shocking and alarming stories about the abuses and cruel treatment of the Cuban population by the Spanish authorities (which were true, an independence war was being fought in 1898 on the island). Worried about important American investments, the government sent the USS Maine to Havanna to protect them and US citizens. In a very dark incident, it blew off in the Havanna harbor.

US businesses had gone global. There was already an industrialized economy that demanded more raw materials and new markets for expansion.

All of these are reasons for the US getting involvement in the Spanish-American War.
