Answer and Explanation:

1. The purpose of this source is to show an account of how Senator McCarthy, even without evidence, provoked an aversion to communism and a persecution of all those who sympathized with communism and the Soviet Union. This was the beginning of the moment known as the "red panic" and the policy known as McCarthismo.

2. The author wanted the telegram to be used as a fuel for his campaign for re-election to the American Senate, he needed a very controversial subject and of interest to the public. In addition, he needed to position himself as someone who was struggling to free American society from threats.

3. The author was trying to be polemic, showing a group of American government officials working for the Soviet Union and Communism. With that he stated that the American government was being spied on within the government itself and that there were traitorous Americans.

4. All this gives this piece a high historical and political value, as it shows how the pillars of the cold war were formed, as well as showing how political propaganda is influential in society.

Gnaeus Pompey did not originally wish to join the First Triumvirate. What caused him to change his mind?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Pompey only agreed to join the First Triumvirate so that his goals in Rome were supported.

Explanation:

First Triumvirate was a political alliance between Marcus Licinius Crassus, Pompey, and Julius Caesar. The idea was for the three men to help each other to achieve the goals and proposals they had for Rome and even for themselves. At first, Pompey did not want to participate in the First Triumvirate, because he did not support Crassus.

Pompey was a great general and Crassus was an extremely wealthy and influential man. Pompey wanted the Roman Senate to give land to veterans of his army. So they could colonize land in the name of Rome, in the eastern territories. This request was denied, which made him try to make alliances with powerful people like Julio Cesar and Crassus, so that this request could be considered.
