Appeasement
During the 1930s, Britain and France followed a policy of
appeasement - they gave Hitler what he wanted in order to keep the peace. So
why did Britain and France keep on giving in to Hitler's demands. It was grounded
on the notion that what Hitler wanted was reasonable and, when his reasonable
demands had been fulfilled, he would stop.
Answer:
Governments exist to serve the people.
It was one of his biggest philosophies and his influence encouraged a revolt and better system to be put in place rather than the monarchy.
In 1889, Socorro was a mining boom town, wild, raucous, and, at a population of about 4500, one of the largest towns in New Mexico. The Territorial Legislature, wanting to boost New Mexico's economy, decided to found a School of Mines to train young mining engineers, and Socorro was the ideal location. Silver and lead ores taken from the nearby Magdalena Mountains were processed at the smelter owned by German immigrant Gustav Billings, and the new School of Mines would allow young mining engineers to train near the eventual site of their work.
The New Mexico School of Mines (NMSM) proudly opened its doors on Sept. 5, 1893, with one building, two professors, and seven students. Courses offered included chemistry and metallurgy.
The college grew a bit, but remained small through the next couple of decades, with a curriculum that focused on mining, metallurgy, chemistry, and related fields. For a while, around the turn of the century, the School of Mines also served as Socorro's "prep school" or high school, for anyone who wanted more than the eight grades of education which the local school system then offered.
<span>In 1927, a new division was added to the NMSM, called the </span>New Mexico Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources. (The name has since changed to "New Mexico Bureau of GEOLOGY and Mineral Resources.") Functioning as the state geologic survey, the Bureau's job was to explore and map the resources of the state and make the information available to mining businesses and the general public. The Bureau now functions as a state geologic survey, with their main job expanded to include the investigation of geologic hazards, such as landslide and earthquake hazards, and the analysis of water resources.
<span>During 1930s, NMSM enrollment increased as more people sought a college education during the Depression. Graduating classes now numbered in the dozens, rather than the handfuls. Petroleum engineering was added to the curriculum and quickly acquired more students than mining engineering. The college's president, Edgar Wells, was instrumental in obtaining funds from federal programs such as the WPA to increase the number of buildings on campus. Several of the campus' classic mission-style buildings with red tiled roofs date from this period.</span>
Let's look at all the claims:
.
A. He was a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University.
- yes, this it true! (his position was called Lucasian Professor of Mathematics)
B. In his book, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, Newton laid
out three laws of motion that are still the basis for studying how
things move.
- this is correct! those laws are known as Newton's laws of motion.
C.As Newton went on developing his ideas
in astronomy, mathematics, and physics, he became very unpopular and was
often ridiculed for his works.
-this is a complicated question: Newton's work was accepted, but he had a difficult personality, which made him rather unpopular- so I would mark the whole statement as also true.
