Answer:

The Triangle shirtwaist fire was one of the deadliest disaster in the history of industrial disasters.The disaster happened in the Greenwich village Near to Manhattan,New York city on March 25,1911.

As a result of this fire the Eye witnesses helped formulate the American society of safety Professionals on October 4,1911.

Explanation:

The fire took the lives of 146 people most of them were women and young girls mostly Italian and Jewish immigrants.

The fire started on the 8th and 9th floor of Asch building where the Triangle waist company that manufactured blouses for ladies called shirtwaist was located.The workers were unable to escape because all the emergency exits were locked at the time to avoid them having unauthorized breaks hence a lot of people ended up jumping.

New York times also suggested at the time that the fire was started by the owners of the industry Max  Blanck and Isaac Harris to claim insurance.

The fire department arrived but they had ladders that reached only the 7th floor,

As a result of the fire the New York  state legislature created factory Investigating commission to investigate industries and their conditions.

What caused tension between America and the Soviet Union after World War II
Zepler [3.9K]
The main difference between both nations was their political views. America was and is a capitalist country and as we know has many freedoms. The Soviet Union on the other hand was a Communist country that gave no rights to its citizens. The United States wasn't happy with that. Also, after WWll, the U.S. provided aid to war torn European countries with the Marshall Plan but the Soviet Union hated this because they wanted to take over those countries.
