After the surrender of Germany and Japan, the two world powers maneuvered for decades to increase their spheres of influence around the globe, spurred on by competing ambitions and ideologies of capitalism and communism which lead to the Cold War. The Cold War was an ongoing political rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies that developed after World War II. Three key features defined the Cold War: 1) the threat of nuclear war, 2) competition over the allegiance (loyalty) of newly independent nations, and 3) the military and economic support of each other's enemies around the world.
Answer:
Explanation:in the cold months crops like rice and corn could not grow so crops grew better in the southern states
Option 1:
a.) The US policy of containment stated that they would contain communism to prevent it from spreading into the other countries. This can be seen in the Korean and Vietnam War because the US fought to stop the others from spreading the idea of communism.
b.) The agreements that ended the Cuban Missile Crisis was the idea of open skies. Each country would disarm their nukes and other atomic weapons and allow the skies to be open for “surveillance.” This, however, ended up failing as a US pilot was shot down after “surveying” the skies. The interesting thing about this is that the US president was already getting rid of all the atomic bombs in the US, but told the SU that they were not going to disarm. This scared the SU into disarming.
c.) in my opinion, I believe this containment policy failed. The US was unable to stop communism as it spread to china. The US tried hard to stop this spread but ultimately failed.
Option 2:
a.) The causes of the Korean War include the fear of spreading communism. North Korea were communist and South Korea were not. Just as the US were going through imperialism, North Korea was too. This caused them to want to spread the idea of communism. They attacked South Korea, so the US lead the counter attack and pushed the North Korean forces back.
b.) Due to the lack of support, the US lost the Vietnam war. There were many factors that contributed to this, making the Americans question the real intentions of the war. For example, the Tet Offensive was a turning point in the war. The war was almost over, and Johnson told the public they were winning, but when the US attacked Vietnam on the Vietnamese New year, they lost support. There was a request for 200,000 more troops and the US people saw this as an act of desperation. There was also the My Lai massacre where innocent Vietnamese citizens- mostly children and women- were killed by US soldiers for no reason. This was all covered up by the US government. The war eventually ended when Kissinger negotiated with north Vietnam. The US ended the longest known war and the last few troops leave Vietnam in 1973. South Vietnam surrendered in 1976, which is considered a loss because the US unsuccessfully helped them.
c.) same as option 1
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The coastal plains are fairly humid and get a lot more rain than the desert parts of the state. The Mountains/Basins are the driest, hottest climate. This region gets very little rain and is very rocky.
The correct matches are:
<em>Tyrants</em>: power-hungry militants who grabbed absolute control by force “direct democracy”.
<em>Assembly</em>: set the rules and maintained authority in the city-state.
<em>Direct Democracy:</em> first name given to the Greek democracy.
<em>Nobles</em>: lofty, financially well-to-do citizens who carried much power within the community assemble.
<em>Solon</em>: in 594 BC he was chosen as an Athenian Statesman with Reformation powers.
By the year 507 BC, the Greeks came with a new system to govern the people of Athens. Cleisthenes, the leader of Athens named the system “demokratia” that means “rule by the people”. With this new system, Tyranny was a thing of the past. The Greeks created the Assembly and other institutions to rule the nation. Nobles participated heavily in the community assemble, where they Heard people’s arguments. Solon (640BCE-560 BCE) was a statesman reformed the nation and created a code of law that served as the foundation of the Greek democracy principles.
