4 0

Answer:

When the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world's first artificial satellite, it began what became known as the Space Race. Shortly after, the U.S. also launched its first satellite, Explorer I, in January 1958. The two nations competed with each other in order to be the first to send a human to the moon. Americans felt the need to compete in order to show that they were more technologically advanced. This increasing competition and tensions between these superpowers was the result of the Cold War, an indirect confrontation between the U.S. and Soviet Union to contain their rival's ideologies.

<em>Answer: C)</em>

<em>Explanation: The Roman Assemblies were institutions in ancient Rome. They functioned as the machinery of the Roman legislative branch, and thus (theoretically at least) passed all legislation. Since the assemblies operated on the basis of direct democracy, ordinary citizens, and not elected representatives, would cast all ballots.</em>

what did article 231 of the treaty of versailles demand regarding german reparations after world war 1
ankoles [38]
<span>It was Article 231 that came to be called the War Guilt clause that held Germany responsible for causing the war.  It humiliated the Germans and they were very angry about it.  It also forced the Germans to pay for damages caused by the war.  This bitter resentment among the Germans would later be used by Adolf Hitler to rally the German people under his leadership and led to the rise of Nazism in Germany.  When Hitler assumed power, he began invading one country after another which led to World War II.</span>
