<span>McCarthyism became a catchword for charges and accusations against other Americans.

During the era after World War II, the fear of communism spread throughout the US as America and the Soviet Union competed for global power and influence. This constant fear and paranoia of communism was only fueled by Senator Joseph McCarthy. McCarthy accused numerous people of being communist, including members of the State Department and even members of the American military. These types of accusations increased suspicion in the US and caused American citizens to turn on each other. </span>

How did expansionism pave the way for world War 2
Sav [38]

The correct answer is the following.

<em>Expansionism paved the way for World War II in that countries involved maintained their foreign policy of expansionism and intervention in other nations. </em>

Victorious nations after World War I still divided some parts of Europe and made Germany pay for the damage done in the war. Countries such as Russia, Germany, Great Britain, and France still had economic and political interests in other countries and did not want to lose them. The Treaty of Versailles played a big role in the anger of Germany and his consequent participation of World War II.

what did the slogan “no taxation without representation” mean and why was it rallying cry for the colonists
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

no taxation without representation meant that parliament should not be able to tax people if they do not have representation on parliament. It was a rallying cry for the colonists because as British colonies Great Britain claimed that members of the British parliament also represent them but they wanted a representative from the colonies who actually knew what the colonists wanted. The crown refused to give them their own representative so they did not want to be taxed.

The Zimmerman telegram was a huge diplomatic mistake by _____.
jekas [21]

The correct answer is Germany.

During World War I, Germany attempted to send the Zimmerman Telegram to Mexico. In this telegram, the Germans asked Mexico to invade the United States. The Germans asked of this because they knew if the United States was fighting with Mexico, they would not get involved in World War I. This would increase the chances of German success in this war.

The Zimmerman Telegram, however, was intercepted by allied forces and given to the American government. After reading this telegram, the American government declared war on Germany, essentially having the exact opposite outcome that the Germans were hoping for.
