Why was the federal civil defense administration created?

History
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago
4 0
The predecessor to the FCDA, the Office of Civilian Defense was abolished in June 1945 with the end of World War II. In the period between the end of the World War and 1949, when the Soviet Union detonated their first atomic weapon, little was given to the topic of civil defense. After the Soviets demonstration of their first atomic weapon there was a feeling of the need to do somethingthroughout both the American public and government.[5] This led to, among many actions, the creation of the Federal Civil Defense Administration by President Harry S. Truman in 1950.[6]

A purported website address for this government organization (rendered as "The F.C.D.A.") was briefly referenced in the 1998 American science fiction film Deep Impact at time marks 0:54:26, and 1:18:50, using a fictional website listed in the movie audio monologue and subtitles as "http://fcda.gov/". This seemingly fictional website (as used in the movie) has not been known to ever exist, and the Internet Archive and WHOIS databases carry no record of it being for any organization, government or otherwise.

How come Serbia was upset that Austria acquired Bosnia?
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

By article 25 of the Treaty of Berlin, 1878, Austria-Hungary was permitted to occupy and administer Bosnia and Herzegovina. The crisis in 1908-1909 sprang from the fact that Serbia believed that she must prevent the consummation of annexation by Austria-Hungary or give up permanently her long-cherished hopes.
