AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Christian access was denied and the Holy Sepulcher despoiled

Explanation:

After the Seljuk Turks secured Jerusalem from the Egyptians in 1071, as well as defeating Byzantine Emperor Romanus IV they denied access to Christian and despoiled the Holy Sepulcher. (church in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. ) later on in the 11th century (1000-1100) Byzantine Emperor Alexius I requested from the west for military aid. Odo of Châtillon otherwise known as Pope Urban II, argued for the recapture and rebuilding of the Holy Sepulcher… which inspired what is known today as the First Crusade.

In a paragraph, explain why President Wilson encountered opposition in the U.S. Senate in his efforts to ratify the Treaty of Ve

sergey [27]

Answer:

On the side of Wilson, that is, for the adoption of the Treaty of Versailles and the ensuing entry into the League of Nations in order to continue direct intervention in European affairs, a significant part of both the ruling circles and the "public" spoke. Wilson's position was supported by prominent business leaders. The defense of the Treaty of Versailles focused on proving the United States’s worth of creating the League of Nations. With the help of the league and the Versailles Treaty, senators Hitchcock, Kellogg, Owen and others said that the United States will be able to rebuild Europe, sell its goods widely, which will improve the country's economic prospects for many years to come. The mandate system will open access to the colonies, to the Turkish Straits, to Middle East oil and other raw materials.

But the central argument of supporters of the Versailles system remained the argument that through the League of Nations the United States will be able to gain the position of the dominant power in the world. Senator Owen argued during the discussions that the League of Nations has a whole arsenal of means - diplomatic pressure, arbitration, and the International Court of Justice, boycott, blockade, the use of collective armed forces - and with their help the fate of any international dispute can be decided. Wilson’s supporters said the US’s joining the league will help “overcome social unrest in Europe,” stop the growth of socialist forces.

The opposition to the Wilsonists was called isolationist, although it itself did not recognize this name. The term "isolationism," despite all its conventions (in fact, it did not mean calling for the isolation of America), nevertheless had a constant content: the rejection of political and especially military alliances with Europe, 'bequeathed' by George Washington in 1796.

In the Senate, the first movement was a bloc of so-called “irreconcilable” (with a fluctuating number of 12 to 36 out of 96 senators), headed by William Bora, one of the most critical opposition leaders. Bora, Lafollett, Norris and other senators of this group 'attacked' the League of Nations as a tool for drawing the United States into alien wars, in defense of extraneous interests, and protested against anti-Soviet intervention.

Using the sources and your knowledge of U.S. history, explain whether the U.S. policy of containment was effective or ineffectiv

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

effective

Explanation:

The "containment policy" was the U.S. approach to containing, or preventing, the spread of Communism after World War II. The idea was to make other countries prosperous enough to avoid the temptation of communism.

An early test of containment came in Greece and Turkey. In 1946, a civil war broke out in Greece, pitting Communist groups against the British-supported government. At the same time, the Soviet Union was pressuring Turkey to allow it to build naval bases on its northwestern coast, thereby giving the Soviet Black Sea Fleet easy access to the Mediterranean. When Great Britain announced it no longer had the resources to help Greece and Turkey meet the threats to their independence, the United States stepped in. President Truman asked Congress for $400 million in military and economic aid for Greece and Turkey in March 1947. Truman cited the United States' obligation to back free peoples who were resisting control by an armed minority or outside pressures. This policy, known as the Truman Doctrine, appeared to work: The Communists were defeated in the Greek Civil War in October 1949; and the foreign aid helped strengthen the Turkish economy.
