Based on reading the following passage, which of the following best explain why the Pinkerton National Detective Agency’s main c

ustomers were railroad companies? Check all that apply.
The early private security industry dates back to 1850 when Allan Pinkerton founded the Chicago-based Pinkerton National Detective Agency. It became the largest private security agency in the country. Its main customers were railroad companies. The Pinkerton agency worked to chase outlaws, who robbed trains of cargo and took personal possessions from passengers, across territorial and state lines. At that time, there was no federal agency to chase outlaws. There also was no local law enforcement to pursue perpetrators of crime locally or across state or territorial lines.

Over time, federal and local agencies improved law enforcement capabilities, particularly after 1900.

A. Train robbers would cross state lines, and there was no federal agency to chase outlaws.
B. Railroad companies were the most successful businesses at the time, so they were able to afford the fees charged by the Pinkerton agency.
C. Train robbers would cross state lines, and there was no local law enforcement to pursue perpetrators of crime locally or across state or territorial lines.
D. The Pinkerton agency preferred to only work with the railroad industry.

How was the spanish civil war another step in the march toward wwii?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
The Spanish Civil War (1936-9) was a very important event during the tense1930s in Europe. Although it did not make World War II inevitable, it increased the likelihood of a general war a great deal. The war had a tremendous impact on Spain itself, leaving much of the state's economic and social infrastructure in ruins and leaving thousands dead. But the war also saw involvement from other European states as both sides of the conflict - the Right-wing Nationalists and the Left-wing Republicans (a.k.a. Loyalists) - requested and received foreign aid not only in terms of financial assets, but also in terms of war material and troops. Adolf Hitler's Germany was one of the foreign countries most involved in the conflict, contributing economic loans as well as several thousand troops to the Nationalist cause. Hitler's involvement in the Spanish war was consistent with a larger Nazi foreign policy aimed at diverting British and French attention from Central and Eastern Europe so that he would be unhindered in his plans for eastern expansion.

<span>However, the ramifications of the Spanish war for the rest of Europe were great in other ways. The Spanish Civil War was a major contributor to the hardening of the division between the democracies (Britain and France) and the dictatorships (Italy and Germany). Germany also gained the valuable raw materials from Spain that it needed for eastern expansion and the accompanying possibility of war. The Spanish Civil War also undermined British and French credibility to Hitler, emboldening him to make more dramatic eastern expansion moves. Furthermore, the war helped drive the USSR away from Britain and France and was one of the reasons why Stalin reluctantly concluded that an accommodation with Hitler was necessary. In all these ways then, the Spanish Civil War was a major step toward World War II. In order to understand more thoroughly how</span>

How was the English reformation different from the German reformation and what were the roles of Henry VIII and “Bloody Mary” Tu
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The breakup of the English Church was decided by king Henry VIII, who had been a fervent and faithful Catholic ruler, receiving the title of "Faith Defender" from the pope for his repudiation of Protestantism. But upset because his wife had not given him a male heir, he asked pope Clement VII to grant him a divorce from his first queen, Catherine of Aragon, and marry his lover Ann Boleyn. The pope refused to grant the English king his wish.

Persuaded by two close Protestant advisors, Thomas Cranmer and Thomas Cronwell, Henry VIII stopped recognizing the supremacy of Rome over the national church in 1533. Cranmer, appointed Archbishop of Canterbury, granted him the divorce. The Supremacy Act of 1534 passed by Parliament made the king the Supreme Head of the Church.

So, English Reformation started because of political reasons, because of the convenience of the breakup with Rome for the king´s personal and political interests. In the German states, rulers adopted the ideas of Martin Luther that quickly spread after 1517. There were also political reasons for this; it  supported the independence of German rulers from the centralizing aspirations of the Holy Roman Empire and its sovereign.

Mary I Tudor, nicknamed "Bloody Mary" by the people, was Henry VIII´s first daughter. His mother Catherine of Aragon educated her in the Catholic faith. Mary I became the queen of England in 1553. She was a religious fanatic. She persecuted Protestants; at least some 300 people were burned as heretics in her rule.  Her persecution of Protestants won her the nickname of "Bloody Mary."
