What was the global significance of the cold war?

History
1 answer:
MrRa [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The cold war showed the divide between capitalism and communism and overall showed how the world war divided. It even left every country vulnerable as if one nuke were ever to set off, the other country would counter-attack with their own nukes POSSIBLY causing an extinction event. This is called M.A.D or mutually assured destruction where if one country fires a nuke onto another, the other country will counter attack with nukes which will cause all-out destruction.

Overall, the main significance was the danger it posed to the 2 superpowers with completely opposing ideologies which dragged pretty much every other country with them. It even showed that war was no longer a possibility nowadays because if any of the superpowers were to go to war, nukes would be used to utterly destroy the other. So they had to avoid a direct war at all cost.

Describe at least two society developments and changes in the early 20th century in the United States and how they impacted drug
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Describe at least two society developments and changes in the early 20th century in the United States:

1. The Harrison Act.

2. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937

and how they impacted drug use:

Trends in federal drug enforcement may reflect changes in the nation’s drug problems and  changes in the federal response to these problems. These trends also may reflect the federal  government’s enforcement priorities, but the drug use in steadily increasing.

Explanation:

1. The Harrison Act:

In response to growing  levels of drug abuse, federal control of drugs began to take shape in the early 20th century, the federal government aimed to regulate and control drugs through  taxation. The Harrison Narcotics Act of 1914 (Harrison Act; P.L. 63-223), required importers, manufacturers, and distributors of cocaine and opium to register with the U.S., among other regulations.

2. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 :

During the 1920s, narcotic enforcement was closely tied to Prohibition enforcement. In 1930,  Prohibition enforcement was transferred to the Department of Justice while a standalone federal  agency, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN), was established within the Treasury to handle  narcotic enforcement. During Prohibition, a new recreational drug—marijuana—had quickly  become unpopular with law enforcement, especially in the southwestern United States. As  Prohibition ended, marijuana caught the attention of Congress and the FBN.  Until 1937, the growth and use of marijuana was legal under federal law. During the course of  promoting federal legislation to control marijuana, Henry Anslinger, the first commissioner of the  FBN, and others submitted testimony to Congress regarding the evils of marijuana use, claiming  that it incited violent and insane behavior. Commissioner Anslinger had informed  Congress that “the major criminal in the United States is the drug addict; that of all the offenses  committed against the laws of this country, the narcotic addict is the most frequent offender."

Although all these, the number of drug  cases filed by U.S. Attorneys increased in the late 1990s and early 2000s. While this may  reflect a higher drug crime incidence rate, it also may reflect a federal enforcement focus on drug  crimes.
