saw5 [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: e. Exposed US for spying on the USSR & lying about it at the highest levels of our government

Explanation:

The U-2 Spy Plane Incident happened in May 1960 when the Soviet Union captured American pilot Francis Gary Powers after shooting down his U-2 spy plane which was being used by the US to gather information about the Soviet Union's nuclear programme.

The Soviets did not initially say that they had captured the pilot so the US lied about the incident and said it was a weather plane that had flown off-course. The Soviets then revealed that they had Powers in custody at which point the US relented and took responsibility.

40. Which of these situations was the direct result of the other three? * nations of Latin America won independence revolutions
Sonja [21]

Answer: Nations of Latin America won independence

Explanation:

As Creoles and Mestizos became discontented with Spanish rule, they began to demand more self-governance from the Spanish which would eventually boil over to them asking for independence.

This was made easier when Napoleon invaded Spain during the Napoleonic wars and severely weakened Spain's power to hold onto its colonies. Revolutions in North America such as the American Revolution spurred some colonies to seek independence such as Haiti from France which went through its own Revolution as well.

These three factors allowed nations in Latin America to seek their independence and led to many getting it.
