History

Darya [45]3 years ago

Answer:

In 1949, the prospect of further Communist expansion prompted the United States and 11 other Western nations to form the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The Soviet Union and its affiliated Communist nations in Eastern Europe founded a rival alliance, the Warsaw Pact, in 1955. Joining the USSR in the alliance were Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), Hungary, Poland, and Romania. This lineup remained constant until the Cold War ended with the dismantling of all the Communist governments in Eastern Europe in 1989 and 1990. Initial member-states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) included the United States and all five Brussels treaty nations, Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Italy, Norway, and Portugal. Several countries were invited to join NATO but refused, including Finland, Ireland, Sweden, and the ever-neutral Switzerland.

NATO favored capitalism and the USSR favored communism. These alliances rivaled each other and fought for dominance. NATO ended up coming on the top to save capitalism.

Mashcka [7]
Washington’s Precedent’s were positive and were the blueprint of the way the government is now. For example, one of his precedents were that there should only be a maximum of 2 four year terms.

Using the terms conscription and selective service explain how progressives created a draft system for world war i that satisfie
Ad libitum [116K]

During the First World War the North American Navy was very small compared to the armies mobilized by the European armies. With the declaration of war of the USA to Germany in April of 1917, the Congress approved an Act creating the Selective Service System. This law gave the president - W. Wilson at that time - the power of conscription, calling men for military service. The system consisted of a classification of five levels and expanded the previously allowed ages. By the end of the recluting days, it had achieved more than two million volunteers. This conscription campaign was very successful because it was accompanied by a strong publicity that encouraged men to a patriotic attitude, which guaranteed a high success rate. This recruitment system was left without effect in 1920.

How did government policies prove bad for the economy of the Soviet Union?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

The Soviet Union was very powerful for most of the 20th century. From political to military and economic strength.But the economy of the Soviet Union would eventually collapse, due to certain reforms to decentralise the economy.

The Soviet Union's economy was controlled totally by the government. The communist party coordinated the planning of production, distribution and institution of regulations and economic targets. The economy had a rapid growth at first but as the economy became increasingly complex, the average GNP growth started slowing.

Reforms like the sovnarkhoz, implemented in the late 1950s attempted to decentralise economic control. Restructuring reforms called the porestroika were also implemented but these could not compete at the global stage and therefore failed.
