Answer:

Explanation below.

Explanation:

PROS:

  • Reasonable chance of success - Only about 3,000 US soldiers died during the war, which is a low number(spanamwar). Total size of US army was about 248,000 soldiers and volunteers. Spanish casualties were around 60,000.
  • Waged by a legitimate authority - one of the few times war was actually declared using the correct process.

 

CONS:

  • America annexed Hawaii.

  • The US army was not ready to fight in the war. They were understaffed and lacked the skill required to fight.

What was true of japanese americans in the west during world war ii apex?
sweet [91]
During World War II, many Japanese-Americans were sent into internment camps thanks to Executive Order 9066.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese military, many members of the government and US citizens in general were paranoid that there would be another attack on America by the Japanese. To ensure that this attack did not happen, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. This allowed for the removal of individuals from military areas. After this, internment camps were formed for Japanese-American citizens.

What were the two reasons
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

As Islam spread in Mecca, the ruling tribes began to oppose Muhammad's preaching and his condemnation of idolatry. The Quraysh tribe controlled the Kaaba and drew their religious and political power from its polytheistic shrines, so they began to persecute the Muslims and many of Muhammad's followers became martyrs.

What disputes signaled the beginning of the Cold War?
Flauer [41]
The Truman Doctrine was the event that triggered off the Cold War.

Explanation: Both parties were mutually hostile and did not believe in a possible peaceful coexistence anymore. The Americans and Soviets’ hostility to each other as well as the belief that they could no longer cooperate after the start of the Cold War resulted in the Berlin Blockade. Thus, I can conclude that the Truman Doctrine marked the start of the Cold War.
