Answer:

Explanation:

The German Confederation (German: Deutscher Bund) was an association of 39 German states in Central Europe, created by the Congress of Vienna in 1815 to coordinate the economies of separate German-speaking countries and to replace the former Holy Roman Empire. It acted as a buffer between the powerful states of Austria and Prussia. Britain approved of the confederation because London felt there was need for a stable, peaceful power in central Europe that could discourage aggressive moves by France or Russia. Most historians have judged the Confederation as weak and ineffective, as well as an obstacle to the creation of a German nation-state. It collapsed because of the rivalry between Prussia and Austria (known as German dualism), warfare, the 1848 revolution, and the inability of members to compromise. It was replaced by the North German Confederation in 1866.

In 1848, revolutions by liberals and nationalists were failed attempts to establish a unified German state. Talks between the German states failed in 1848, and the Confederation briefly dissolved but was reestablished in 1850. It decidedly fell apart only after the Prussian victory in the Seven Weeks’ War of 1866.

The dispute between the two dominant member states of the Confederation, Austria and Prussia, over which had the inherent right to rule German lands ended in favor of Prussia after the Seven Weeks’ War of 1866. This led to the creation of the North German Confederation under Prussian leadership in 1867. A number of South German states remained independent until they joined the North German Confederation, which was renamed the German Empire.

History and Structure of the Confederation

Between 1806 and 1815, Napoleon organized the German states into the Confederation of the Rhine, but this collapsed after his defeats in 1812 to 1815. The German Confederation had roughly the same boundaries as the Empire at the time of the French Revolution (less what is now Belgium). It also kept intact most of Confederation’s reconstituted member states and their boundaries. The member states, drastically reduced to 39 from more than 300 under the Holy Roman Empire, were recognized as fully sovereign. The members pledged themselves to mutual defense, and joint maintenance of the fortresses at Mainz, the city of Luxembourg, Rastatt, Ulm, and Landau.

Which of these focused attention on the nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union?
mars1129 [50]
The Cuban Missile Crisis. The fear on both sides was that someone would push a button and all out war (perhaps the end of the planet as we understand it) would result. Both countries had ICBMs but America's were better. They could hit Russia. Russia had no real answer and Cuba is too small a defensive position. So Khrushchev blinked and took his threat home. It didn't take her long to catch up but by that time the political situation altered.

Answer:

i did mine on ray baker so here ya go

Explanation:

Ray Stannard Baker was one of the most important journalists of the Gilded Age. He was an American writer, popular essayist, literary crusader for the League of Nations, and authorized biographer of Woodrow Wilson. Baker became associated with the muckraker scene when he began writing articles for McClure’s Magazine in the early 1900s. Muckrakers were writers who exposed the political and economic corruption in big businesses and government through accurate journalistic accounts.  

Baker began his newspaper career as a reporter for the Chicago News-Record in 1892 after graduating from the University of Michigan. During his six years at the paper, Baker covered the Pullman strike and the 1893 march of a group of jobless men known as Coxey's Army on Washington. Both events helped push Baker toward an even stronger belief in social reform. Establishing the American Magazine with the company of other investigative journalists, such as Ida Tarbell and Lincoln Steffens, pushed him to further his career and develop an even stronger belief in social reform. In 1908, Baker produced a series of five articles on the plight of the African Americans. “In this pioneering work in the study of race relations in the United States, Baker dealt with issues such as political leadership, Jim Crow laws, lynching and poverty.,” as stated in spartacus-educational.com These articles were eventually turned into the book, Following the Color Line (1908). As a supporter of Woodrow Wilson, Baker was chosen to write Wilson's biography, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1940. At Wilson’s request, Baker served as head of the American Press Bureau at the Paris peace conference (1919), where the two were in close and constant association, according to britannica.com. Baker spent fifteen years on the biography; the first two volumes of "Woodrow Wilson: Life and Letters" appeared in 1927, and six additional volumes were published during the next twelve years. As far as his family life went, he married Jessie Irene Beal in 1896 and had 4 children together.
