Why did the United States increase military spending under the presidency of Ronald Reagan?

History
1 answer:
True [87]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Ronald Reagan persuaded Congress to fund many of the weapons systems later used in both Persian Gulf wars, either initiating the arms programs or accelerating work on those already in development.

Explanation:

Reagan presided over the biggest peacetime defense buildup in history, from high-tech weapons systems to larger training ranges and military pay increases. "It was his steady focus on the military, said supporters and analysts, that helped bring down the Soviet Union and expunge the malaise and hollowness that infected the American military during the 1970s."

Why was the revolution such a long and deadly conflict?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

THIS ISN'T MINE (It's boardd620) but I like it so....here

Explanation:

The First World War 1914-1918 unfolded in two main theaters of operations - in Western and Eastern Europe, as well as in the Balkans and Northern Italy, in colonies - in Africa, China, Oceania. In 1914, all the participants in the war were going to win through a decisive offensive, and no one expected that the war would become protracted.

Entente countries were able to coordinate actions on two fronts - the Russian offensive in East Prussia coincided with the most difficult moment of battles for France, in fact, breaking the German blitzkrieg. Germany was forced to fight on two fronts at the same time, and also to carry out the transfer of troops from front to front, not being able to concentrate forces against one enemy.

Very soon after the outbreak of the war, it became clear that the clash would become protracted. The uncoordinated actions of the Entente countries, which possessed superiority, allowed Germany, the main military force of the Triple Alliance, to wage war on an equal footing. For the first time in this war, hostilities have become truly massive. For the first time, tanks, fighter aircraft, dreadnought ships, and chemical weapons were used.

What happened along the United States-Canadian border during the Embargo Act of 1807?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Smuggling--The Embargo Act completely restricted US trade and the New Englanders could trade easily with Great Britain through Canada. 

The Embargo Act was put into place during the Napoleonic Wars between Britain and France. Great Britain was taking over US ships and forcing citizens to fight for the British army/navy. Jefferson responded with an embargo to force Britain to stop through economic means. However smuggling made the embargo ineffective as well as a lack of support from NE Federalists. <span />

Importance of LTS in our country
mars1129 [50]

The "Literacy Training Service" program prepares students to teach literacy and numeracy skills to schoolchildren, young people who are not in school, and other groups in society that need them.

The achievement of an individual's career goals and quality of life depend on their level of literacy.

<h3 /><h3>Which Unity version is the best?</h3>

When it comes to full production, maintaining live games, and even events like game jams, where the emphasis is on productivity and efficiency rather than technical exploration, LTS, which may be thought of as Unity's default version, is nearly always the best choice.

"Long term support is, of course, what LTS really stands for.
