rough

Explanation:

On a range of critical measures, African Americans are reported to show comparatively poor physical, psychological, and social health outcomes. Whereas African Americans share a similar life expectancy to White Americans (75.3 vs. 78.8 years; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2012), their quality of life is significantly lower as manifest in rates of physical health. For example, the rate of diabetes is higher among adult African Americans at 11.3% compared with White Americans at 6.8%, the incidence of hypertension is 41.3% compared with White Americans 28.6%, the rate of premature death from heart disease is higher among African Americans than White Americans (65.5 vs. 43.2 per 100,000 persons), and rates of prostate cancer are 208.7 and 123.0 per 100,000 persons in African Americans and White Americans, respectively (American heart Association, 2007; Beckles & Chou, 2013; CDC, 2013; Di Pietro, Chornokur, Kumar, Davis, & Park, 2016; Graham, 2015; Thorpe et al., 2014).

At the psychological level, Sternthal, Slopen, and Williams (2011) reported that African Americans show significantly higher stress in a range of life domains (acute life events, financial, relationship, life, and job discrimination) and these were predictive of depressive symptoms, poor self-rated health, functional physical limitations and chronic illness. In another study, Williams et al. (2007) found self-reported ratings of poor mental health were significantly higher among Black Americans; among persons suffering major depressive disorder, 57% of Black Americans experienced chronic depression with more acute symptoms compared with a rate of 39% among Whites.

Answer:

Germany was defeated in the First World War and was left without colonies on the basis of the Treaty of Versailles, thus being put in an even more subordinate position. Although they were on the winning side, Italy and Japan did not have too much reason to be content with the "spoils of war". The end of World War I also brought about the breakdown of the prewar economic order based on free trade. Most states turned to protectionism and autarchy after the war, which was fertile ground for both conflict and economic instability, which had come to full effect in the Great Economic Crisis since 1929. A new factor was the emergence of two ideologies - fascism and communism. Both, in their own way, represented a radical alternative to the post-war world order, and their mutual rivalry was reflected in international politics.

Explanation:

Nationalism extended to Asia, especially to the possessions of the European colonial powers, whose subjects began to regard their position as a betrayal of Versailles principles. Nationalism continued to be expressed as racism, which played an important role in the deterioration of Japan-US relations.
Nationalism and revanchism were particularly strong in Germany because of the large territorial, colonial and financial losses prescribed by the Treaty of Versailles. By that peace, Germany lost almost 13% of its home territory and all its colonies, while the annexation of neighboring territories was banned, damages were imposed and restrictions were imposed on the size and power of the German army. Japan, as a country without its own resources of many important resources, has been hit hard by the economic crisis.
As a consequence, militarism began to flourish in Japanese ruling circles, namely the belief that Japan could only secure prosperity at the expense of neighboring Asian states, that is, European colonial possessions.
Accordingly, in 1931, the Japanese invaded the Chinese province of Manchuria. Many Japanese and other historians consider this event to be the real beginning of World War II. Western powers, exhausted and overwhelmed by the economic crisis, did not respond to it.

If Lincoln had not been assassinated do you think he would have pushed for equal civil and political rights for black people?Exp

ehidna [41]

There is always the possibility that he would have, yet there are reasons as to why he would not have been to enthusiastic in supporting it too strongly. One of these reasons is that Lincoln supported joining the South and the North as fast as possible to make the Reconstruction after the Civil War more smooth and faster. If he openly supported the rights of the Black people the South would not have supported him as much as they would if he had not done so. This would go against what Lincoln wanted the United States to do to heal, somethign that Lincoln's vice president also shared with him.
