Background information: This is an excerpt of a speech given by President Kennedy to a group of newspaper editors on April 20, 1

961. The President of a great democracy such as ours, and the editors of great newspapers such as yours, owe a common obligation to the people: an obligation to present the facts, to present them with candor, and to present them in perspective... On that unhappy island, as in so many other areas of the contest for freedom, the news has grown worse instead of better. I have emphasized before that this was a struggle of Cuban patriots against a Cuban dictator [Fidel Castro]. While we could not be expected to lend our sympathies, we made it repeatedly clear that the armed forces of this country would not intervene in any way. It is not the first time that Communist tanks have rolled over gallant men and women fighting to redeem the independence of their homeland. Nor is it by any means the final episode in the eternal struggle of liberty against tyranny, anywhere on the face of the globe, including Cuba itself. —John F Kennedy, 1961 What is Kennedy’s point of view about actions taking place in Cuba? Castro is a dictator who threatens liberty, freedom, and democracy. The United States will take up arms and defend democracy in Cuba. Cuban patriots are going to prevail with the help of the United States. If the United States does not get involved, then communism will continue to dominate.

Answer: Castro is a dictator who threatens liberty, freedom, and democracy.

In this excerpt, President Kennedy makes it clear that he believes Castro to be a dictator, and a threat to freedom in the island. He argues that the struggle is between "Cuban patriots against a Cuban dictator." He also says that, while he sympathizes with the patriots, the United States will not intervene in the struggle.

The rise of modern japan what was commodore perry’s significant contribution to the beginning of japan’s transformation?
Anna [14]
<span>Commodore Perry was an American naval officer. He was notable for the signing of Convention of Kanagawa in 1854. This treaty was important in opening up Japan’s relations with Western countries, since prior to 1854, Europeans had almost limited or no contact with the Japanese. This volatile period saw the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate, where Japan concluded with the Meiji Restoration in 1868 and the development of Japan as a modern nation state. Hence, Commodore Perry’s was significant as he allowed USA to be the first nation with extra territorial trading rights in Japan. Combined with the Asian security climate in the 1850s9Opium Wars, Arrow War, etc) and the rise of colonialism, Japan saw such pressures threatening and hence had to concede by opening of several ports to foreign trade. Hence, the privy council, on fear of having to deal with foreign colonists just like China had after the Opium Wars, decided to embark on a program of economic and military modernization, angering the conservative Imperialists (Shogunate). These factors cultimated to the economic development of Japan in the late 19th Century. Consequently, it can be said that Commodore Perry’s arrival led to a chain of events which propelled Japan not only as a military superpower but an economic force in Asia in the early 20th century.</span>

Sparta was focused on military training, and Athens on academics. Maybe you ran into Socrates the philosopher in Athens, and he started asking you odd questions. Or perhaps you noticed children being matched out of Sparta as you entered, possibly to be made to (if the rumors are true) fight wolves in the wilderness. You likely noticed the red plumes on Spartan helmets, and the blue on Athenian ones if any.
