Answer:

Gilded Age

In United States history, the Gilded Age was an era that occurred during the late 19th century, from the 1870s to about 1900. The Gilded Age was an era of rapid economic growth, especially in the Northern United States and the Western United States.

Characteristics

The period between 1870 and 1900 in the United States is known as the “Gilded Age” and was characterized by economic and industrial growth, increased political participation, immigration, and social reform.

Elements of the Gilded Age

Positive elements

  • Local authorities built schools and hospitals.
  • Towards the end of the ‘Gilded Age’ and early Twentieth Century, wealthy magnates turned philanthropists to fund libraries, schools, and hospitals. It was partly in response to the criticism directed at the monopolists who had become very wealthy.
  • US infrastructure. The rapid expansion created much of the infrastructure which would serve America throughout the early Twentieth Century, and even into the Twenty-First Century.

Negative elements

  • Poor industrial conditions. Workers in the industrial sector had little protection, and the rate of industrial accidents was very high. Companies offered little or no insurance for their workers who were caught up in serious accidents.
  • Social division. The rapid growth came at the cost of growing inequality, with workers seeing a growing divide between owners and workers.
  • Industrial unrest. Mass unemployment led to protests, such as the Tompkins Square Riot (1874) and the Haymarket massacre of 1886.

What could the US government have done to improve the economy in European nations before the Great Depression
atroni [7]

Answer:

They could have decreased protectionism. Protectionism means that they limited free trade between nations and restricted trade of foreign goods. Protectionism is widely accepted as maybe the biggest reason for the development of the Great Depression and thus if the US had decreased it, it most likely would not have happened at all.

4. The Democratic Party is making a serious blunder in criticizing President Roosevelt’s foreign policy .

There can result nothing but praise and admiration for the President’s policy.

Explanation:

D.

In 1902, the European forces announced blockage on Venezuela due to the country’s rejection to resolve foreign debts. In consequence, the Roosevelt Corollary came into force.

<u>In 1904, the US president Theodore Roosevelt put in force the Roosevelt Corollary, an extension to the Monroe doctrine.</u> It assured the protection of the US over the countries of Latin America and its intervention in foreign affairs regarding the European countries.

A.

The US had made it clear that they were a force to fear and Theodore Roosevelt was aware of that. They were an established military force as had been proven by its great victory against Spain in 1898.  

This was what was pre-required for Roosevelt to exercise his<em> Big Stick policy</em>: the country had to have proven <u>capable to strike</u>, but <u>peaceful and willing to negotiate</u> at a time. It seemed to work as Germany decided to back off on Venezuelan blockage after the US intervention.

C.

Before the completion of the Panama Canal, the US trade route was incredibly long and devastating. On top, the perishable goods would have spoiled during the (at least) three-month-long trip.

<u>The Panama Canal facilitated all of that</u>. The US boats had a significantly shorter route to take, the former time was cut and it allowed faster shipping, lower fuel costs, and therefore – more trade.  

<em>The Democratic Party is making a serious blunder in criticizing President Roosevelt’s foreign policy </em>

In this sentence, it is the word <u>blunder</u> that suggests the writer’s attitude on the matter. A <em>blunder</em> is a stupid mistake committed out of ignorance. The use of this type of word originates from a <u>subjective point of view.</u>

<em>There can result nothing but praise and admiration for the President’s policy. </em>

The author of the text is clearly taking sides, as <u>he assures that there is only one possible way to think of the President Roosevelt’s policy</u>: <em>nothing but praise and admiration. </em>
