¨The use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese

were already defeated and ready to surrender. . . . In being the first to use it, we . . . adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages. I was not taught to make war in that fashion, and wars cannot be won by destroying women and children. . . . I voiced my grave misgiving, first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary and . . . I thought was no longer mandatory as a measure to save American lives. It was my belief that Japan was, at that very moment, seeking some way to surrender with a minimum loss of "face."

A thesis statement about Golda Meir’s significance would link which phrases? Select all that apply.
Oksanka [162]

The correct phrases to link:

  • early settler in Israel
  • female head of state

Details:

Golda Meir was born in Kiev, Ukraine (then part of the Russian Empire), in 1898. Her family emigrated to the United States in 1906, where they settled in Milwaukee, WI. Golda Meir became a Zionist activist and helped raise funds for the settlement and establishment of Israel.  She and her husband moved to the Palestine Mandate territory in 1921, becoming settlers in a kibbutz there.  (Kibbutzes were collective farming settlements.)  

Meir later went on to become prime minister of Israel, holding that office from 1969 to 1974. She was the fourth prime minister of Israel, and has been the only woman to hold that office.  Meir was in office as prime minister during the time that Israeli athletes were attacked at the Munich Olympics in 1972, and also during the October War in 1973 (also known as the Yom Kippur War or the Ramadan War).

The benefits of a democratic system are:

  • The people can choose their representatives in government.
  • The rule of law is practiced.

Some periods in which democracy was not beneficial to both Greece and Rome are in periods when it took too long to come to a decision and there were different opposing views.

Some potentially negative aspects of democracy are:

  • A large region can influence the voting patterns based on certain factors and this is not exactly fair representation.
  • Lack of proper political education.

<h3>What is Democracy?</h3>

This simply means the government of the people where the people have the power to elect their leaders and also call for their impeachment or removal if they fail in their duty.
