The country that would be the best source of chromium for specialty steel production within the United States is South Africa.

This is because South Africa is known to have the highest deposits of chromium, with about 17,000,000 out of the 40,000,000 worldwide.

Also, South Africa was known to have supported the likes of the United States during the Cold War.

Options B and C are wrong because Brazil and Zimbabwe have no chromium deposits.

Option D is wrong because India stylishly supported the Soviet Union during the cold war; hence, they wouldn't have supplied the United States with the Chromium needed.

Also, option E is wrong because Russia forms the larger part of the Soviet Union, and till today they are still not on the same side in most political issues.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is option A." South Africa."

Answer:

South Africa

Explanation:

During the Cold War South Africa was a major source of chromium for the United States. South Africa was considered the alternative to imports from the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China. Even though there was a world-wide embargo on South African commodities because of its policy of apartheid, the United States imported chromium from the world’s second largest producer. Even though Brazil is located closer to the United States, its chromium production is considerably less than that of South Africa.

Jerusalem, by virtue of the number and diversity of people who have held it sacred, may be considered the most holy city in the world. To the Jewish people it is Ir Ha-Kodesh<span> (the Holy City), the Biblical Zion, the City of David, the site of Solomon's Temple, and the eternal capital of the Israelite nation. To Christians it is where the young Jesus impressed the sages at the Jewish Temple, where he spent the last days of his ministry, and where the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection took place. Also greatly venerated by the Muslims, it is where the prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven. While highly charged with intense religious devotion and visited by countless pilgrims and sages, Jerusalem has also been ravaged by thirty centuries of warfare and strife. It is a place of beauty and divinity, mystery and paradox; a sacred site which no modern spiritual seeker should fail to experience.</span>

Poland’s exports increased significantly after the country joined the _____. Catholic Church Soviet Union Warsaw Pact European U
Alex
Poland has been Catholic for a long while and since the Church is an ecclesiestical institution, it plays no big role in trade. The Soviet Union had a very protective attitude towards its products and only a few categories of them were exported; it is quite possible that exports dropped during this period. THe Warsaw Pact marked a significant counterpoint to the NATO initiative but most countries were already good trade partners to the Soviet Union (and again, the pact was not about trade). The right answer is European Union; the open borders and the influx of technology has increased the potential for exports from Poland.
