History

Serga [27]2 years ago

Answer: Though many of his military advisors indicated that an amphibious assault on Cuba by a group of lightly armed exiles had little chance for success, Kennedy gave the go-ahead for the attack. On April 17, 1961, around 1,200 exiles, armed with American weapons and using American landing craft, waded ashore at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. The hope was that the exile force would serve as a rallying point for the Cuban citizenry, who would rise up and overthrow Castro’s government.  

The plan immediately fell apart–the landing force met with unexpectedly rapid counterattacks from Castro’s military, the tiny Cuban air force sank most of the exiles’ supply ships, the United States refrained from providing necessary air support, and the expected uprising never happened. Over 100 of the attackers were killed, and more than 1,100 were captured.

The failure at the Bay of Pigs cost the United States dearly. Castro used the attack by the “Yankee imperialists” to solidify his power in Cuba and he requested additional Soviet military aid. Eventually that aid included missiles, and the construction of missile bases in Cuba sparked the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962, when the United States and the Soviet Union nearly came to blows over the island.

/explain and evaluate the views of anaximander regarding the nature of substance.
chubhunter [2.5K]

Early Greek philosopher Anixamander (ca. 610 – 545 BC) was a monist.  That means he believed that ultimately there is just one sort of substance underlying all the different things we see in the physical universe. He put forth the idea that this single underlying substance of all things is something beyond our experience.  He called it the ἄπειρον (<em>apeiron</em>), which means "the boundless" or "the limitless."  Anaximander was reacting to the views of Thales, a previous thinker from his same town, Miletus, who had suggested that there was one underlying substance to all things, and that <u>water</u> was that essential element.  Anaximander objected to Thales' thought, because water is something we all see and experience readily in the perceived world.  He believed any underlying or base-level substance, from which water and any other physical stuff originated, had to be something beyond the boundaries of our present experience, or "the boundless."

One evaluation of Anaximander's views came from another Milesian philosopher who followed him:  Anaximenes.  Anaximenes saw the theory of Anaximander as dodging the question, "What is the main ingredient of all things in the universe."  By saying, "It's boundless; it's something we don't know," had he really answered anything?  So Anaximenes dismissed the view of Anaximander ... but didn't agree with Thales either.  Anaximenes proposed that air was the underlying element of all physical phenomena.

You'll have to decide for yourself what you think of Anaximander's "boundless" theory.
