<span>United States incarceration rates in state and federal prisons remained remarkably stable throughout the better part of the twentieth century, averaging just over 108 people per 100,000 from 1925 to 1973. </span>But in 1980 the rate of US imprisonment increased by over 40 percent, from 97 per 100,000 people in 1970 to 139 per 100,000 people—the first increase of this magnitude in American history. Between 1980 and the mid-2000s, the incarceration rate nearly quadrupled, reaching an all-time high of 506 per 100,000 people by 2007, amounting to a total of 1,596,835 state and federal prisoners. If one includes the estimated 780,174 people incarcerated in local jails that year, by 2007 a total of 2,377,009 people were living behind bars in the United States, or approximately 1 in 100 US adults. The trend of mass imprisonment in the late 20th century could have been avoided if the State legislators could have refused to criminalize drug use.

Even though the english were outnumbered by the french, what advantage did the english have over the french at the battle of agi
Paul [167]

Advantages that the English had over the French in the Battle of Agincourt are a muddy field to slow the French down, the lethal longbow, and two wood lines that protected the English.

Battle of Agincourt was a decisive war in the Hundred Years' battle that resulted in the victory of the English over the French. The English army, led by way of King Henry V, famously achieved victory despite the numerical superiority of its opponent.

The Battle of Agincourt on 25 October 1415 noticed Henry V of Britain defeat an overwhelmingly larger French navy at some stage in the Hundred-year war. The English won the way to the advanced longbow, subject position.

On top of the crowded formations, heavy armor, and lack of field, troops needed to face another obstacle; a slim battlefield. The French navy all through that time frame become no longer cut out for constricted battlefield combat; the discipline and preparedness of the English soldiers overpowered the French with extremely good ease.

Germany became a satellite of the Soviet Union following World War II.
irakobra [83]
Not the whole of Germany became a satellite of the Soviet Union. A part of Berlin, that was controlled by the Soviets following World War II was, however, a satellite for them because they exerted control over that part and controlled various aspects of life in Berlin.

Casualties at the Battle of Okinawa and Iwo Jima
Agata [3.3K]

Casualty rates at the Battle of Okinawa and Iwo Jima plays a small role in the justification of dropping the atomic bomb, and is by no means the only justification or even the major justification in using the atomic bomb. They were, after all, only used as a statistical report through the casualty per sq. mile report of what can occur when invading the mainland. So yes, it may be a  means towards the justification, but as the justification itself it is not.
