Paraphin [41]2 years ago
3 0
The Founding Fathers created the U.S. government to have numerous checks and balances as well as a VERY limited central (federal) government. They did this to prevent a relapse of the tyranny (hence “absolute power”) they dealt with under the British Empire. The American colonies were essentially meant to serve the mother nation (Britain), but the colonists braved the journey to America to establish a new, freer nation with religious freedom as its top priority.
To prove this quote is still relevant today, it’s not unknown that when humans acquire power, it’s very easy for them to abuse that power. Examples of this would be the oligarchies we see in Russia and China with a very small amount of people in power living in a lap of luxury while everyone else lives a subpar life.

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The following events in chronological order are:

The Pearl Harbor Attack

The Battle of Midway

VE Day

Hiroshima and Nagasaki

VJ Day

Explanation:

Pearl Harbor is a naval base for the U.S. near Hawaii. It was attacked by the Japanese Fighter aircraft in 1941. Japan became a powerful nation with its Imperial Japanese Army in the 1930s as they began territorial expansion in Asia and the Pacific Ocean. America fought with Japan when the Japanese Air Force attacked Pearl Harbor to take control of the Pacific Ocean.

The battle of Midway fought between American and Japanese fleets in the Pacific Ocean in 1942. This naval battle became one of the most vital for American naval victories. The U.S. Navy was able to begin a surprise attack on Japanese fleets in the Midway area.

Victory over Europe happened when the Allied defeat of Nazi Germany and the end of Adolf Hitler's Reich, recognising the end of the Second World War in Europe.

To stop the Japanese during the Second World War, America came up with plans of bombing the Japanese cities. The idea was to drop the bomb on populated Japanese city which would ultimately force the Japanese military to capitulate. Therefore, America decided to drop atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

Victory over Japan happened after the bombing of cities like Hiroshima and Nagasaki in august 1945. Emperor Hirohito surrenders and blames the use of the new bomb for the country's defeat.
