The right answer is The USSR needed to protect its western border from future attacks.

Besides the Ally victory in the WWII, the USSR lost approximately 20 million Russians. Worried about future attacks, Stalin planned to build a buffer zone of communist friendly states around Russia, in order to avoid future invasion. Something that happened during the WWII and heavily cost millions of Russian lives battling against German invasion.

The conclusion was to take control over Eastern Europe (EE). As the Red Army drove the Nazis back, it occupied large areas of EE, and made sure communist governments took control of power. The Communists controlled the army and chased its opponents. By 1949, all the governments of Eastern Europe, except Yugoslavia, were associated with the Stalinist regime.

Which of the following is NOT one of the ways in which the Progressive movement changed workplaces?

horsena [70]

The correct answer is C. Young children were kept from working in factories.

Summary: During the Industrialization years (1870-1916) child labor was business as usual condition. Child labor made up around 20% of the workforce. According to 1900 Census, a total of 1,752,187 (about 1 in every 6) children between the ages of 5 and 10 were engaged in "gainful occupations" in the United States. Their parents had no choice to send them to work as their meager wages helped to support the families. The working children had no time to play or go to school, and little time to rest.

The intention of the Keating-Owen Child Labor Act of 1916 was to restrict and limit the number of hours worked by children in the factories and mines. The law did not apply to children who worked on farms. This Labor Act prohibited "the sale in interstate commerce of goods produced by factories that employed children under 14 years old", "the sale in interstate commerce of goods produced in mines that employed children younger than 16 years old", "the sale in interstate commerce of goods produced in any facility where children under 16 years old worked at night or more than 8 hours per day", and "gave the authority to impose fines on factories that violated the law". It was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court on the grounds that child labor was not interstate commerce and therefore only states could regulate it. However, a new program of federal regulation in industry began with this Labor Act.
