While the United States began conventional bombing of Japan as early as 1942, the mission did not begin in earnest until mid-1944. Between April 1944 and August, 1945, an estimated 333,000 Japanese people were killed and 473,000 more wounded in air raids. A single firebombing attack on Tokyo in March 1945 killed more than 80,000 people. Truman later remarked, “Despite their heavy losses at Okinawa and the firebombing of Tokyo, the Japanese refused to surrender. The saturation bombing of Japan took much fiercer tolls and wrought far and away more havoc than the atomic bomb. Far and away. The firebombing of Tokyo was one of the most terrible things that ever happened, and they didn't surrender after that although Tokyo was almost completely destroyed.”

In August 1945, it was clear that conventional bombing was not effective.

What did Germany do in 1941 that promised NOT to do in 1938?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer: President Paul Hindenberg, to offer Hitler the position of chancellor as a way of bringing the Nazis into a coalition government of right-wing parties that lacked a mass base. They feared that otherwise Germany, suffering massive unemployment and social distress, would fall under the control of socialists and Communists.They thought that the Nazis were just another right-wing, nationalist party and that Hitler would be 'tamed' by power. But Hitler had a radical ideology that went beyond restoring Germany's national pride.The new chancellor wanted to reconstruct Germany on a racial basis, and believed that Germany had to conquer other countries to secure its future. He had no interest in democracy or legality, other than as a façade, and at the earliest opportunity he used the 'Reichstag Fire' (when the German parliamentary building was attacked by arsonists) as an excuse to suspend the civil rights of the German people (see next entry).The last 'free' election in Germany for many years was held in March 1933, in an atmosphere of violent intimidation, and even then the Nazis got only 43 per cent of the vote. Soon afterwards Hitler created a one-party state by brutally suppressing rival political organisations.

Name and explain two of the reasons the congressional committee identified for the recent financial crisis?
blagie [28]
The 2008 recession/financial crises one of the worst of its kind in a generation. Major economies including the United States and the UK suffered a period of recession, consistent low-growth, rising unemployment and many businesses closing down.

A 10-member committee called the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission was setup by the US government to study the causes of the recession, in the hopes that a future similar crisis could be prevented.

In 2011, the committee released their findings and pointed out the two major reasons for the crisis:

1. The basic reason for the crises as the Collapse of the housing market.

2. Which in turn was fueled by toxic mortgages, low-interest and easy credit available to everyone and minimal regulation.

The report also pointed out vast problems of corporate governance, lack of government will and unpreparedness.

What main role does the Office of National Drug Control play in the war on drugs?
puteri [66]

The main role of the “Office of National Drug Control” is to decrease the manufacturing and the usage of drugs.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The war on drugs was initiated by Nixon when America was in a terrifying situation over the widespread drug use. Especially during the 1960's the 'counterculture' movement period, the drugs had become more popular in public. Then the Americans realized that the drug use was a serious threat to the country and it's moral.  The ''Office of National Drug Control Policy'' (ONDCP) was started by former President Nixon who initiated the “war on drugs”. The “Office of National Drug Control” (ONDCP) took responsibility<em> to reduce the use, trafficking and manufacturing of illicit drugs and drug-related health issues, consequences, crimes and violence by building, executing and estimating U.S. 'drug control policies' on “war on drugs.” </em>
