History

tatuchka [14]4 years ago

In the 1700s, James Watt caused a revolution in transportation<em> by improving steam engine technology.</em>

He was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer. He made improvements on Thomas Newcomen's  steam engine that was patented in 1698 and widely in use at the time of Watt's birth ( 1736).

It all started when Watt was given a model Newcomen engine to repair. He realized it was very inefficient and he began to find ways to improve its performance. He designed a separating condensing chamber for the engine to avoid huge losses of steam. He patented his improvements in 1769.

A unit of measurement of electrical and mechanical power -<em> the watt</em> - is named in his honor.

What conclusion can be drawn from these events
anygoal [31]

The correct answer is D) The federal government was willing to take aggressive action to ensure federal civil rights were followed.

The conclusion that can be drawn from these events is that the federal government was willing to take aggressive action to ensure federal civil rights were followed.

These above-mentioned events refer to a difficult time in the United States history when racial segregation problems in the South were constant. It was a time when racist politicians and governors in the southern states kept limiting the rights of the African American people.

We can see that in the case of the Little Rock High School in 1957, the Mississippi University in 1962, and Alabama University in 1963, school authorities with the support of the governor of the state, impede the access of black students to the school premises. There were aggressions and violence to the degree that the President had to send the Civil Guard and military troops to solve the issues and protect the African American students.

One year after the Alabama University incident, US President Lyndon B. Jhonson would sign the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

How did the Nazi's take away the rights of German Jews from the German Citizenship Law of 1935?
kogti [31]

Answer:

Hitler wanted to make Nazi Germany Judenrein(free of Jews). In the early years, the policy of Judenrein did not include genocide. Rather, anti-Jewish oppressive measures were slowly introduced to exclude Jews from all aspects of German life. Anti-Semitic laws went hand in hand with state violence and terror. By 1939, discriminatory laws and decrees grew longer and longer and included the following:

Jewish businesses were boycotted.

All Jews had to wear a yellow Star of David badge to make them easy to identify.  

Jews were dismissed from the civil service.  

Jews were expelled from all schools and universities.  

Jews were stripped of all citizenship rights.
