The first threat of Communist expansion came in Italy and Morocco, prompting President Truman to give hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to stabilize both countries. FALSE
Explanation:
This is not the instance that pushed the presidency of Truman to have an anti communist stance but the grave issues of Germany that were truly what was responsible for the rift.
The rift was simply that Italy and Morocco were rather traditional states with Morocco retaining its autocracy intact throughout the war.
It was not easy target for the communist regime but Germany certainly was.
So the statement here is false.
Answer:
The Federalists supported the new U.S Constitution and fought to replace the Articles of Confederation because the Articles of Confederation were weak and caused disruption in the newly independent United States.
The Articles of Confederation had a weak central government (because of the fear of the British monarchy), had no national currency, and lots of other issues. This caused chaos in the US. The 13 independent states were basically allies in a "confederation" and not united. Each state had their own currency and the federal government couldn't raise taxes and had no real power.
This lead to a poorly formed United States of America that just got independence.
The Federalists wanted to fix these issues that the Articles of Confederation failed to address, but in order to do that, they supported a <em>strong</em> federal government (even if it was run by the people). Of course, the people who supported the Articles objected to this (because of the fear of tyranny). To compromise, the Federalists wrote a Bill of Rights to protect the rights of citizens and states from the new federal government.
The Federalists did solve the issue of a national currency, federal power, and taxes. Once the US Constitution was set in place, the federal government and the US was doing better than it was back with the Articles.
Fun Fact: When the representatives were meeting to make the US Constitution, they broke the law because the Articles of Confederation forbid this. You could only revise the Articles, not write a completely separate and new document.
Hoped this helped!

Explanation:
Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night" recounts his experience as a Jewish prisoner during the Holocaust that became one of the greatest genocide in the history of the world. This book also became one of the most important witness accounts of the historical disaster.
When they were taken to the camp at Birkenau, the men and women and children were separated. Elie and his father were taken to the left while women were taken to the right. This separation would be the last time he would ever see his mother and sister. And later on, after the medical inspection by <em>"the notorious Dr. Mengele"</em>, while walking they saw a truck full of children, babies being driven and thrown into the <em>"crematorium"</em>, a burning pit. Elie recounts how he saw <em>"A truck drew close and unloaded its hold: small children. Babies!"</em> This was the horrific sight that he and his father along with the others saw on their march to the barracks in the first camp.
