<em>C. To provide employment through federal deficit spending.</em>

Explanation:

Both the Public Works Administration and the Works Progress Administration were created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was part of the New Deal, which was created in 1933 and was designed to help Americans during the Great Depression.

The Great Depression was an awful time in history, people were losing their jobs, homes, and could not afford basic items. When President Franklin D. Roosevelt was running for office, he would famously say, "<em>I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people</em>." He wanted to create programs and opportunities for people during the Great Depression, he called the series of programs and projects the New Deal.

Two of the programs that were implemented with the New Deal were the Public Works Administration and the Works Progress Administration. Both of these were designed to give Americans jobs and put money in the hands of the people.

1. How did General Douglas MacArthur react to the events in Korea? What was his stance on the Korean War?. 2. How did President

Llana [10]

1. General MacArthur had a successful surprise attack launched on the North Korean army at Inchon, which was west of the Korean Peninsula. When he met with Truman face to face at Wake Island, he publicly accused the president of "appeasement" regarding China. Instead of following Truman's orders, MacArthur did things his way. He thought that the Chinese would not join in the war, so he assured Truman that the Chinese army would not take part in the war when the UN forces reach the Yalu River, the border between China and North Korea. MacArthur was so confident in his success that he promised American troops would be home for Christmas.

2. President Truman assigned General MacArthur as leader of the UN troops. Truman's overall objective was to create harmony between North and South Korea as soon as possible. He was concerned of the Chinese army joining in the war in favor of North Korea, but MacArthur assured him that the Chinese would not interfere when they reach the Yalu River; however, he was wrong. Because MacArthur disobeyed the orders, Truman relieved MacArthur of his position.

3 and 4 are based on your own opinions, so I cannot answer that part. Otherwise, hope this helps a little though it is not much.

How has Eurocentric history depicted African people and their cultures?

andriy [413]

Answer:

Eurocentric history has depicted African history and culture as highly inconsequential. Because of the general lack of exposure to their multifarious unique cultural characters, (especially sub-Saharan) Africans have been collectively regarded as culturally unaccomplished and underdeveloped. Throughout history, African people have also been subject to derision due to their starkly different appearances and customs (from a European perspective).
