IT IS D THE LONE STAR REPUBLIC!
Answer:
Explanation: Born on the island of Corsica, Napoleon rapidly rose through the ranks of the military during the French Revolution (1789-1799). After seizing political power in France in a 1799 coup d'état,
I discovered that a key moment in Roman history was a very little-discussed raid by pirates on the Port of Rome at Ostia.
Rome was at that point the dominant world superpower, and there was no state in the world that would ever have dared to attack Rome. But the Romans were attacked by a group of stateless desperados who set fire to the Port. The flames may well have been visible in Rome itself. And this sent a shockwave through Rome, because if pirates could strike that close to the imperial capital, nowhere was safe.
And in this panicky atmosphere - an atmosphere of panic, I might say, which was deliberately whipped up by ambitious politicians - the Roman people took a series of fatal steps, surrendering some of their liberties and some of their control over their government. And in doing so, they sewed the seeds of the destruction of their own democracy.
And the more I looked at that event, the more it seemed familiar to me and the parallel with 9/11 - and in particular the response to it.
Answer:
Civil War; 13th; 14th; 15th; vote.
Explanation:
The American Civil War was also referred to as War between the States and it was fought from the 12th of April, 1861 to the 9th of April, 1865. The war was simply between the Southern states that seceded to form Confederate States and the Northern states that were still loyal to the Union.
After the Civil War, slavery was outlawed in the United States with the writing and passage of the 13th amendment. Additionally, thanks to the passage of the 14th and 15th amendments, African Americans were also granted the right to vote as well as protection under the law as a citizen of the United States.
The 13th Amendment of 1865 was an amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America which formally abolished slavery and involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime committed by a convict within the jurisdiction.
Answer:
Isolationism was stronger after the depression
Explanation:
After WWI, USA became more active economically and military in aid for Europe's countries in post-war recovery. This meant that many European countries depended on US loans to recover. After the crash in 1929, USA became more conscious about their own economy and stopped participating in European conflicts. This encouraged countries such as Germany or Japan to take action in order to expand territory, which gave place to the raise of fascism in these countries (Japan's INnvasion of China in 1937 and Germany's annexation of Czechoslovakia in 1938, for example)
