Answer:

King Leopold II was the ruler of the Congo Free State, and the King of Belgium. He was interested in the Congo river basin because there were many natural resources such as rubber, minerals, ivory, diamonds, and gold. Keen on establishing Belgium as an imperial power, he led the first European efforts to develop the Congo River basin, making possible the formation in 1885 of the Congo Free State, annexed in 1908 as the Belgian Congo and now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Do you think the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was worth it? Why or why not?
Vlada [557]
This is a matter of opinion.  Do YOU think the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was worth it?  Let's look at the factors.

What were some of the positives?  Well, firstly, it ended World War II.  That's kind of a big deal.  In fact, it caused Japan not only to surrender, but UNCONDITIONALLY surrender.  Basically, that means the US could ask Japan to do whatever it liked--which the US liked!  Secondly, it was a triumph of science.  The atomic bomb was a revolutionary work of science.  Nothing like it had ever been made before, and it was all based on secrecy and theoretical science.  The atomic bomb also <span>provided the basis for new, improved weapons, including the hydrogen bomb.  </span>Thirdly, it helped establish the United States as a world power.  Knowing about this super powerful weapon the US had, countries were likely to back off!  

But there's a lot of negatives here, too.  Keep in mind that most of these benefits were for the United States alone.  Of course, there was one other BIG negative for the United States, and that's cost.  The atomic bomb was worth billions of dollars!  A second big one wasn't so much for the United States as for the world, especially Japan.  When the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, the effects on the people and city were devastating.  People were vaporized.  Cities and buildings were flattened, and nothing is left but carnage.  People died, their skin peeling off, from cancer and radiation.  It was awful!  Thirdly, it caused the arms race.  Knowing the US had this super weapon, ALL the countries started building their own.  Now, we pretty much live in fear of all the nuclear weapons there are today--which are hundreds of times more powerful each than the first bomb!

So what do you think?  Was it worth it?

Which issues were sources of weakness in the U.S. economy during Herbert Hoover's presidency? Choose all answers that are correc
choli [55]

The sources of weakness during Herbert Hoover's presidency was the investigators speculating in an unregulated stock market.

Explanation:

Herbert Hoover was the US president during the Great Depression. Even though the blame of Great Depression cannot be put on his policies, his strategies adopted to tackle Great depression failed pathetically. He believed that businesses deciding to not cut down the wages of workers would stop consumption rates from falling down and stabilize the economy.

But this did not happen. Businesses did not cut down wages but they reduced the number of employees to sustain in the falling economic environment. Hoover tried to convince people that there was nothing seriously wrong and when the economy stabilizes stock prices would rise, unemployment would be alleviated and good times would come.

But the optimism did not help the economy and the investors speculating in an unregulated stock market was one of the sources of weakness during Herbert hoover's presidency.
