The Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930 resulted in an increased tax on more than 20,000 goods that were imported from other countries. The goal of this tariff was to protect American businesses and to encourage American citizens to made products made in the US. However, this actually ended up hurting the US. The countries whom they traded with responded with their own set of economic punishments (like tariffs) against the United States.

The statement that best characterizes the television sitcoms of the 1950s is that<em> sitcoms reinforced traditional roles for men and women.</em> In the early 1950s family sitcoms appeared as good examples to an American public that loved shows like; <em>“Ozzie and Harriet,” “Father Knows Best,”</em> and <em>“Make Room for Daddy.”</em> Both shows depicted and idealized the typical American family where <em>family unity</em> is viewed to be the paradise that everyone should have in their houses. The simplistic ideal outlook soon developed to become the norm for sitcoms; where a generation of<em> “baby boomers” </em>grew up with the belief in the American family as portrayed on television.

Explanation:
Before the Crimean war, Russia had a very weak economy with little industrialization compared to the Western European powers. This was in part due to serfdom and a greedy upper-class. However, after the Crimean war, Alexander II enacted various reforms including the emancipation of serfdom. This would pave the way for Russia to begin its process of industrialization. True industrialization didn’t kick off in Russia until the late 1800’s with reforms by Tsar Nicholas II and the minister of finance, Sergei Witte . Russia’s economy had a notable increase between 1890 and 1910, due in part to higher exports of natural resources and the expansion of the Trans- Siberian Railway. “Russia’s economic progress in the eleven years of Witte’s tenure as minister of finance was, by every standard, remarkable. Railway track-age virtually doubled, coal output in southern Russia jumped from 183 million pounds in 1890 to 671 million in 1900″(Llewellyn).
The economic and industrial growth during this period would become the foundation of Russia later in the century. However, Russia still had a variety of problems when it came to industrialization and its side effects. One negative side effect of industrialization was the influx of population in Russian cities. Unlike other industrialized countries, Russia’s cities did not grow to accommodate their growing populations. Workers in the cities experienced poor and unsanitary living conditions as well as long hours with little pay. Due to the past history of serfdom in Russia, there was little technological advancements and people who had the capacity to create technologies for the industrial revolution. As a result, Russia suffered and ended up relying on other countries for the machinery and technology that was needed to sustain the growth of the revolution. The generators above give an example of how the foundation of Russia’s industrial revolution was based off of other countries. Russia also faced problems such as pressure from outside markets and typical international economic fluctuations. Other problems included a lack of venture capitalists and low labor productivity, as well as a struggling domestic market due to a largely poor population(Freeze, 217). Even though Russia had an industrial revolution with a variety of problems associated with it, the economic growth was something new that Russia needed which would help pave the way for Russia’s future advancements.
