Well, fear is created when there is a threat. WW2 Had just ended, so of course America did not want any other nation to become more powerful than them, for the idea that it would end up being like Germany. Americans also wanted to protect democracy, so communism was a major threat to the USA and it's beliefs. Naturally, America wanted to prove dominance to the USSR, thus the beginning of the cold war.
There were several different restrictions placed on blacks due to the Jim Crow laws. The following are just a couple examples.
1) Poll taxes- This was a certain amount of money an individual would have to pay in order to vote. This negatively effected African-Americans, as many of them could not afford this tax.
2) Literacy tests- These were written tests that individuals had to pass in order to vote. These were extremely difficult to do well on, due to the wording of the question or the time given to complete the test. This targeted African-Americans, as many of them had no formal schooling as of this time period.
3) Segregated public facilities- Everything from public schools to public pools were segregated in order to keep blacks and whites away from each other.
Answer:
- the division of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states
- US support for Israel's military
Explanation:
After the World War II ended, the international community gave the Jewish people the right to return to their homeland Israel and make their own country there. While this was excellent news for the Jews, the Arab world was furious. The Arabs saw the settling of the Jews and the formation of Jewish country as offensive toward the Arabs, and as stealing of their lands. The Arab population in Israel that started using the name Palestinians (ironically enough that is a Jewish term) was separated and concentrated into parts of this territory, but lost the majority of their land. The US support from Israel increased the tensions even more, and soon military conflicts started between Israel and several Arab countries, with the small Israel managing to be victorious in all of them.
