The correct answer is Individuals buy U.S. treasury bills at the bank.
Treasury bills are securities that are issued by government through the federal reserve. Although they do not yield interest, they are sold on discount on their redemption price. They enable government to borrow on the short term
Correct answer: German troops became demoralized and eventually surrendered in the face of the arrival of fresh US troops.
The United States had been providing some support to the Allies prior to its own entry into the war. But when the US joined the effort fully with a declaration of war, that not only meant the arrival of fresh US troops but a commitment of even more American dollars to the Allies' war effort. The American commitment greatly boosted the morale of British and French troops on the Western front and demoralized the German troops.
As to the other answers ...
- Russia did pull out of the war, but that was because it went through a revolution and change of government in its own country, not because of American involvement. Russia's fight was with Germany on the Eastern front, whereas the US entered the war on the Western front.
- No, Mexico did not attack the United States -- although there had been a German diplomatic telegram that had suggested that as a possibility.
- Ottoman forces did their fighting in the Balkans and in the Middle East, and were not involved in the war on the Western front.

Answer:
The history of slavery spans many cultures, nationalities, and religions from ancient times to the present day. However, the social, economic, and legal positions of slaves have differed vastly in different systems of slavery in different times and places.[1]
Slavery occurs relatively rarely among hunter-gatherer populations[2] because it develops under conditions of social stratification.[3] Slavery operated in the first civilizations (such as Sumer in Mesopotamia,[4] which dates back as far as 3500 BC). Slavery features in the Mesopotamian Code of Hammurabi (c. 1860 BCE), which refers to it as an established institution.[5] Slavery was widespread in the ancient world found in almost every other ancient civilization such as the Roman Empire. It became less common throughout Europe during the Early Middle Ages, although it continued to be practiced in some areas. Both Christians and Muslims captured each other as slaves during centuries of warfare in the Mediterranean.[6] Islamic slavery encompassed mainly Western and Central Asia, Northern and Eastern Africa, India, and Europe from the 7th to the 20th century. The Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, British and a number of West African kingdoms played a prominent role in the Atlantic slave trade, especially after 1600.
Although slavery is no longer legal anywhere in the world (with the exception of penal labour),[7] human trafficking remains an international problem and an estimated 25-40 million people were enslaved as of 2013, the majority in Asia.[8] During the 1983–2005 Second Sudanese Civil War people were taken into slavery.[9] Evidence emerged in the late 1990s of systematic child-slavery and trafficking on cacao plantations in West Africa.[10]
Slavery in the 21st century continues and generates $150bn in annual profits; modern transportation has made human trafficking easier.[11] Regions with armed conflict have vulnerable populations.[12] In 2019 there were an estimated 40 million people worldwide subject to some form of slavery, 25% of them children.[11] 61%[nb 1] are used for forced labor, mostly in the private sector. 38%[nb 2] live in forced marriages.[11] Other examples of modern slavery are child soldiers, sex trafficking, sexual slavery.
