History

Answer:

‘The enthusiasm is indescribable, when the next drawing appears; it is veritable madness. You have to make your way through the crowd with your fists’.

James Gillray, painted by Charles Turner.

A powerful asset

Caricatures, once a social curiosity, had become powerful political tools. Some of the raunchier London images of French royalty played a major role in the downfall of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. Pitt’s Tory government was also acutely aware of the power of satire, and secretly put Gillray on the payroll from 1797.

One of the primary victims of Gillray’s etching knife was Napoleon, who was in no doubt about the potential potency of vindictive cartoons. On exile in Elba, he admitted Gillray’s caricatures were more damaging than a dozen generals.

‘Napoleon Crossing the Alps’, painted by Jacques-Louis David in 1805.

What was true of the U.S. economy after World War 2
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

It grew bigger and stronger.

Explanation:

After the war there were many workers that had been making military equipment and vehicles for the armed forces for years and when the war was over the factory workers all over America now made and produced more goods for common life post WWII such as cars, tvs, refrigerators, houses, etc. There was more of a demand of products of that nature which then brought on more workers to build them which made companies bigger from increased revenue and increased revenue for the steel and lumber companies, which made shares of those companies stocks more valuable in the economy. After the war there was also research to be conducted when the Allies now had access to German inventions such as jet aircraft and recoil operated muzzle boosters to make guns fire faster. More and more jobs were being created and more and more money was made for everyone all over America. In a way, WWII saved the U.S. from more devastating years of the great depression.
