George Creel headed the Committee on Public Information during the time the U.S. joined the First World War. They used every method within their disposal to convince Americans to support the war effort.  They used printing posters, radio programs and even the movies to convince public opinion that it was necessary for America to take part in the war.

Correct answer:  He promoted anti-German and pro-war propaganda through posters, movies, and booklets.

Detail:

George Creel was appointed as head of the Committee of Public Information by President Woodrow Wilson.  Pres. Wilson created the committee by issuing Executive Order 2594 on April 13, 1917, just a week after the United States had declared war against Germany and entered into The Great War (which we now know as World War I).  

I've attached a sample image of one such "anti-German and pro-war propaganda" posters produced by the Committee of Public Information.

Creel's committee used not only posters, movies and books, but also leaflets, press releases and billboards.  It was a multi-media campaign. They even had 75,000 speakers who volunteered to be "Four Minute Men," giving 4-minute patriotic speeches at schools and public events.

Which statement is not true about the victory at Fort Ticonderoga?
zhuklara [117]

Originally known as Fort Carillion, it was built in 1755 by French settlers, as a military base. Due to the important position linking Canada and the valley of the Hudson River, the British attempted to conquer it in 1758, having suffered great losses from the fewer French troops. However, next year, British manage to conquer and rename it to Fort Ticonderoga. In May 1775 during the French and Indian wars, Benedict Arnold joined Ethan Allen and Mountain Boys of Vermont, and at dawn attacked and won the fortress from the small and sleepy garrison of the British.

Although it was a small conflict, this was the first victory of the colonialists in the revolutionary war against the British, it had to be a morale booster and enabled key artillery for the continental army in the first year of the war. Next year. this artillery was used during the successful siege of Boston.

The right answer is B. It provided cannon and weapons General Washington later used in Boston.

Answer:

The US were against the government of Salvador Allende in Chile because he was a Marxist and they feared this would increase the influence of communism in the Western hemisphere.  

Explanation:

The United States intervened in the presidency of Salvador Allende and supported a military coup by Augusto Pinochet, that would lead to the death of Salvador Allende and the instillation of a military dictatorship in Chile that lasted from 1974-1990.  The actions that would actively undermine the Allende government were supported by the US government and the CIA because Allende had Marxist views that when against the liberal democracy ideals of the United States government. Intervention helped assure that there would not be a further spread of communism in Latin America that could threaten the sphere of influence of the United States. I think that the United States shouldn't intervene in the sovereign systems of other countries and that the US should have faced charges of human rights violations for the death of General René Schneider who the CIA paid $50,000 to have kidnapped and delivered weapons to the pro-coup factions who were after Schneider.

What country did Marco Polo sail for?
zloy xaker [14]
I wouldn't say that it was a specific country, but I guess you could technically say Italy. He did good for all of Europe though because of the Asian influences he brought back.
