1 answer:

5 0

Answer: Dwight D. Eisenhower brought a "New Look" to U.S. national security policy in 1953. The main elements of the New Look were: (1) maintaining the vitality of the U.S. economy while still building sufficient strength to prosecute the Cold War; (2) relying on nuclear weapons to deter Communist aggression or, if necessary, to fight a war; (3) using the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to carry out secret or covert actions against governments or leaders "directly or indirectly responsive to Soviet control"; and (4) strengthening allies and winning the friendship of nonaligned governments. Eisenhower's defense policies, which aimed at providing "more bang for the buck," cut spending on conventional forces while increasing the budget for the Air Force and for nuclear weapons. Even though national security spending remained high—it never fell below 50 percent of the budget during Eisenhower's presidency—Eisenhower did balance three of the eight federal budgets while he was in the White House.

Which plan made it easiest for former Confederate states to rejoin the United States? Which treated those states the most harshl

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The 10% Plan

Explanation:

Lincoln’s blueprint for Reconstruction included the Ten-Percent Plan,which specified that a southern state could be readmitted into the Union once 10 percent of its voters (from the voter rolls for the election of 1860) swore an Oath Of Allegiance to the Union. Voters could then elect delegates to draft revised state constitutions and establish new state governments. All southerners except for high-ranking Confederate army officers and government officials would be granted a full pardon. Lincoln guaranteed southerners that he would protect their private property, though not their slaves. Most moderate Republicans in Congress supported the president’s proposal for Reconstruction because they wanted to bring a quick end to the war.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer: Steam power, which lead to steam powered ships helped European forces colonize Africa.

Explanation:

Steam Powered ships aren't the only thing though, and I think they're kinda tied in 1st place with guns for "Scientific advancement that most helped Europeans colonize Africa". I think-- I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure-- they had machine guns at that point. Let me just double check that so I don't mess you up.

Yup! They had the maxim machine gun which "allowed Europeans to wipe out Africans in battle after battle."

Jeez. That whole time period was so messed up
