Answer:

George Washington was selected by the Continental Congress to guide the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War for two main reasons:

-On the one hand, he was the patriot with the most military experience in the Thirteen Colonies, since he had commanded troops efficiently during the French and Indian War and had organized the militias of Virginia after this war.

-On the other hand, Washington was a very important political figure in Virginia, which at that time was the most populous colony (and therefore, the one that could contribute more resources and more men to the cause). Therefore, by appointing Washington as commander, the Continental Congress secured Virginia's support for the patriotic cause.

Describe the sequence of events that took place after Truman’s decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan
k0ka [10]

Pearl Harbor was attacked in December 1941, the Manhattan Project was created in 1941, the program was created to secretly built an atomic bomb, it was originally projected against Nazi Germany, but in May 1945 Germany surrendered and the US still had the bomb and still was at war with Japan that did not surrender.

They were four years into the war, the US Army invaded Okinawa and Iwo Jima, yet the Japan military resisted.

In July 1945 the Manhattan project successfully detonated the atomic bomb in a test site in the desert of New Mexico.

There was another element into question: The Soviet Union entered the war against Japan and the atomic bomb would send a strong message to the Soviets. This way, Truman decided to drop the bomb on the city of Hiroshima on August 6th of 1945, three days later another bomb was dropped over Nagasaki.

On August 15th Japan surrendered ending the WWII, and Truman faced heavy criticism. Some argued that Japan was on its knees and the bombs were unnecessary, others pointed to the Soviets as a motive.

The bomb ended WWII but started the long Cold War with the Soviet Union, it lasted 50 years and ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall.

In a least 150 words answer the following question. Which of the three economic systems (market, planned, and mixed) do you beli
ycow [4]
Scarcity is the fundamental challenge that all individuals and nations must confront. Everyone faces some limitations, so we all have to make choices where we limit or allow ourselves to something.

Economists generally recognize four types of economic systems traditional, traditional, command, market and mixed.

A traditional economic system is shaped by tradition. The work that people do, the goods and services they provide, how they exchange resources… all tend to follow a pattern. The traditional system is bad at addressing scarcity because scarcity is formed off of new requirements people have through the ages and a traditional system would not evolve just as our requirements would.

In a planned economy, the government controls the economy. The state decides how to use and distribute resources. The government regulates prices and wages; it may even determine what sorts of work individuals do.
Socialism is a prime example of a planned economy. Socialism does not work because it is not consistent with the fundamental principles of human behavior. The failure of socialism in countries around the world can be traced to one critical defect: it is a system that ignores incentives.

Market economies allow all economic decisions to be made by individuals. The unrestrained interactions between individuals and companies in the marketplace determine what happens to all the good and resources.Individuals choose how to invest their personal resources and individuals decide what to consume. Within a pure market economy,  the government is entirely absent from economic affairs.

A mixed economic system combines elements of the market and command economy. Many economic decisions are made in the market by individuals. But the government also plays a role in the allocation and distribution of resources.

If scarcity is looked at on a macro level, the best economic system is mixed because it allows the government to also plays a role in the allocation and distribution of resources, while the individuals still stay happy because they have some control. The only problem is the eternal question of what the right mix between the public and private sectors of the economy should be.

There is no point to look at it on a micro level because almost no country is small enough to be considered on that level.
