Which did not help push the United States into World War I?

A. American trade ties to Allied countries


B. Massive loans from America to Germany


C. The Zimmermann Telegram


D. British propaganda about German atrocities
Which did not help push the United States into World War I?
d
Which did not help push the United States into World War I?
B. Massice loans from America to Germany.





Not A because America did lots of trade with Britain and France


Not C because the Zimmerman telegram (from Germany to Mexico saying that if Mexico helped Germany they could regain land lost in the American-Mexican war) angered many Americans


Not D because lots of stories were coming from Britain about the terrible things that the Germans were doing. American ships were also being blown up by German u-boats.
Reply:I say old chap!?!


One could safely say the both C and D were elements of


America%26#039;s entry, finally, into World War One.


I would like for you to tell me more about B, Massive loans from America to Germany? Who was doing the loaning? Was it govt. to govt. or individual Germans in America to


the business counterparts in Germany?


A. Would logically have a bit of influence on the American


business community and the power they wielded in the


political decisions about going to war against Germany


On the other hand the munitions makers in America would


like us to keep out of the war because even our slight


incursion could throw the even balance for the stalemate


that was the Western Front in 1917-1918, out of balance and might have brought the War to an end.

Was the Prohibition 1919 - 1933 a complete failure?

Or can you find any positive aspects about it?
Was the Prohibition 1919 - 1933 a complete failure?
YES.. it was a complete failure... it made very wealthy people for those willing to break the law... just like all these stupid %26#039;wars%26#039; on drugs, crime etc... AmeriKans don%26#039;t KNOW HISTORY... their own or anyone elses... PROHIBITION DIDN%26#039;T WORK... so WHY do the politicians thing the war on DRUGS will work?... IT WON%26#039;T AND IT CAN%26#039;T.
Was the Prohibition 1919 - 1933 a complete failure?
Yes. most people just went to clubs and stuff to drink anyway. most clubs were never stopped even if caught. Prohibition also caused crimes to increase. the government thought it was a great thing to do but obviously they made a mistake.
Reply:Prohibition was a disaster in pretty much every conceivable sense. It led to a boom in violent organized crime. You know those gangsters, like Al Capone, you hear about? Prohibition is the biggest factor that let them rise to power. VAST amounts of money were made from illegal bootlegging, and law enforcement faced huge problems as well, because officers were bribed very often. Drinking suddenly became fashionable, especially in demographics where it was almost taboo before. Namely, women suddenly started visiting speak easies (illegal bars) and drinking, where they didn%26#039;t do so before, or at least to the same extent. In short, it didn%26#039;t stop people from drinking, and just allowed all kinds of other crime.
Reply:I think it was an outright and total failure. Some have pointed out that the reported levels of alcoholism in the country dropped, and perhaps that%26#039;s a positive effect, but the murder rate and the rate of people dying from consuming %26quot;bathtub gin%26quot; skyrocketted. In addition, the Mafia and the black markets were expanded hugely during this period, and the average Americans respect for the law was deeply eroded. My Grandfather, a good man, a law abiding citize (mostly) and a veteran of WWII and Korea said that the problem with prohibition was that almost nobody actually gave up drinking, they just had to break the law to do it, and that any law passed which is broken by most law abiding citizens is a law which undercuts all others.
Reply:it was a collossal failure. it never once did anything that it was supposed to do which was to outlaw alcohol. all it did was make people like al capone and joe kennedy very rich. it increased the crime rates, and did nothing to stem the flow or the manufacturing of whiskey, beer or anything else with alcohol.
Reply:I can%26#039;t think of any positive aspect that in anyway balanced out the damage.


There is some speculation that Prohibition may not have been a complete failure if it had only targeted hard liquor. By prohibiting beer and wine which are so fundamental to so many cultures, it created a nation of criminals, and the underground economy to feed it.


More importantly it raised some serious questions about using the constitution to control vice. None of the last 6 amendments ratified after the repeal of prohibition have anything directly to do with a social behavior.

U.S. History pls help me with homework.?

How did the experience of the Navajo weaken the argument of some government officials that the best solution for American Indian was to assimilate into white culture?
U.S. History pls help me with homework.?
Well as you know ther was a group of men who were callled code talkers during WWI. If they had not been taught thier native language we probably be talking Japanese. See at the time the Japanese code breakers knew all the different languages that America used to send coded messages to the point where an American code talker had sneezed and the Japanese said %26quot;bless you%26quot; in the code language we were using. Many other significant knowledge was lost because the white Christian religion was pushed onto these spiritual people. Many skills in art work have been forever lost. So in saying assimulation has not been to our best intrest as a nation and our security

What are the names of the 3 musketeers and are they french?

Athos, Porthos and Aramis, later joined by D%26#039;Artagnan. The story is set at the French court and they are (fictional) musketeers of the King%26#039;s guard, so yes their names are French. The story was originally titled %26quot;Les Trois Mousquetaires%26quot;.
What are the names of the 3 musketeers and are they french?
Porthos , Athos and Aramiss, and the fourth is D%26#039;Artegnan. They%26#039;re French because the story is set in France, and was written by a French author, Dumas.

Does anyone think it was ussless to resist aghinst the nazis?

reasons it was ussless and resons that it was worth it thanks stuck on a bit of my history homework. thanks loads!
Does anyone think it was ussless to resist aghinst the nazis?
Totally useless. We fought a war, spend billions of dollars and lost millions of lives, and, after all that, the Nazis STILL won.





We shouldn%26#039;t have wasted our time.





Thank goodness Der Fuher is still around to protect us.
Does anyone think it was ussless to resist aghinst the nazis?
I personally don%26#039;t think it was.


My great grandfather in Italy was a resistor in northern Italy. He fled to the mountains to aid the resistance, my grandfather, his son, took food to these men who refused to fight.





Every little helps... He was one less human shield separating Hitler from the Allies.
Reply:next time use spell checker before posting a question, this one is confusing and difficult to read. there are several incidents and occasions where it was very difficult or useless to resist the germans, notably in poland, italy and in the balkans. however, the french, dutch and the russians had considerable success in helping the war effort against the nazis. eisenhower said that the french resistance that helped with the normandy invasion was the equivalent of five divisions. was it worth it?? ask the people that were in it if it was. i imagine they would say yes it was and would do it again if needed. would you resist if your nation was occupied by a foreign power??? i know i would.
Reply:Resistance is dependent upon resources and in Germany after 1933 it was difficult finding the resources needed to resist. Not so much money but human resources. Quite simply the vast majority of Germans supported the Nazis and thus finding safe havens was next to impossible. Just about anyone might turn you in for %26#039;resisting.%26#039; And Resistance could be anything from failure to snap one%26#039;s right arm into the ear and clearly cheerfully chirping %26quot;Heil, Hitler,%26quot; to listening to %26#039;Jewish Music.%26#039; Beginning in 1934 the Nazis began boycotting Jewish owned stores. Anyone shopping in Jewish stores was subject to abuse or worse. And who ratted family %26amp; friends to the Nazis, friends and family!


Yet ultimately one has to examine one%26#039;s heart, their conscience. Only on that basis is resistence truly worth it. Even if one faces the threat of abuse or worse, one must develope strategies to resist.


A personal example; my mother was fleeing the Nazis, crossing from the Sudetenland through Germany to Holland. One of the Nazis favorite tricks was to change the rules daily. My nearly teenage mother thought she was allowed to take along her bycycle. Suddenly it was illegal. Yet a Nazi guard at the train station rolled his eyes to the skies and ignored my mother%26#039;s bycycle as it was rolled into the baggage car of the train.


Such was the resistence practices by a handful of Germans. Germans who did little things such as taking aside of group of Jews and grandly announcing, %26quot;Your know what I (underline I) am a bit rusty on MY catechisms,%26quot; and taking these Jews aside and goin over with them Catholic worfds which they must learn in order to pretend to be Catholic. And then there were the dutiful German factory workers who put important parts in radio in backwards or broke a connection or fuse. Many a German died on the battlefield due to defective weapons little knowing they were a victim of what was often called passive resistence.

Reply:It is probably worth reading some of the philosophy of fascism. it is basically a philosophy of war and a philosophy of tyranny of the state over the individual.





Was it useless to resist the Nazis? Not useless if one believed in individual liberty, and the primacy of the individual over the state. But in another way even this is problematic because if one was a citizen of a nation threatened by the Nazis, then usually the war powers of ones own government denied one of the liberty one considered sacrosanct.





Useless if you do not believe in individual liberty. Why fight fascism at all if you support the primacy of the state over the individual?
Reply:No I do not think it was useless to stand against the Nazis. What is your freedom worth to you? Benjamin Franklin said something to the effect of, if people are unwilling to stand-up for their rights and freedoms, then they do not deserve them. That is not the exact quote, but you get the idea, and I cannot find the exact article I read it in right now.
Reply:I see, are you asking about resistance movements within Germany? If so I suggest you watch Die Weisse Rose (The White Rose) or Sophie Scholl.





They both deal with a group of college students who sought to bring to light all the wrongs of the government and start a populist movement against the Nazis. They were caught and brutally executed.





It is an interesting case however of Germans trying to %26#039;come to terms with the past%26#039;. Any instance of resistance to the Nazi regime, however miniscule or futile it may have been, has become a focal point of attention in the post-war era.

Where did Aboriginals originally come from? and WHen?

Aboriginals: The native people of Australia.


I%26#039;d like to know when they originally came out of whereever, when they did. like 300 k years ago ect.
Where did Aboriginals originally come from? and WHen?
I should think most of them came out of their mother%26#039;s womb.





But migrationally speaking, I think that they came down from New Guinea, as at that time sea levels were much lower and there was no water mass separating Australia from New Guinea, just swamp land.
Where did Aboriginals originally come from? and WHen?
Africa, then they spread along the Indian ocean edges in a sweeping clockwise motion. Pockets of %26quot;Aboriginal-like%26quot; peoples remain in India and Vietnam. Some think that the Ainu of Japan are Aboriginal also. The majority of Aboriginal Y-chromosomes are Haplogroup C4, then M and a few RxR1.





Some of their mitochodria are Haplogroup P and Haplogroup S
Reply:Successive waves of settlers moved from south-east Asia into the Pacific at a very early stage (since those people kept no written records, there is no way of accurately dating the first migrations). Some of these were the ancestors of the Ainu people (the aboriginal Japanese) and the people of New Guinea, the Torres Straight Islands and mainland Australia.





There are both cultural and genetic differences between these groups and the familiar Polynesian and Melanesian Islanders of the Pacific, which may indicate that the earliest ancestors of the aborigines were from further west, perhaps India or Burma.

How did Gothic cathedrals express medieval religious and intellectual aspirations?

They were easily the largest buildings in the countryside literally (and figuratively) towering over everything else. They were meant to represent the grandeur and sheer magnificence of God.





Conversely, they were not without their ecclesiastical detractors who believed that people were awed not by the glory of God but by the buildings themselves (a form of idolatry if you will).

What other changes were caused by the popularity of the automobile?

It took some time after World War I for the U.S. to accept its role as a great power and influence on world politics. Not only did the nation have to deal with the Great Depression, but social and technological changes were sweeping into every corner.
What other changes were caused by the popularity of the automobile?
the automibile may be the greatest invention in the last 150 years. It greatly sped things up, it allowed people to live out of the city because with the automibile they could get there just as fast driving then they could walking from the city. It has also made us more inheritly lazy as a poplulation
What other changes were caused by the popularity of the automobile?
The suburbs became available to the middle class.
Reply:Huh - - - anyhow due to the plunging price of the Ford Model T and then the responce by other automakers offering affordable prices the automobile was a standad household item by the 1920s.


The %26#039;car%26#039; made personal transportation possible. No longer dependent upon tram or trollet or train millions of Americans could live miles away from their work and they could pretty much set their own schedules. AT the expense of the Ozone layer Americans had freedom. Freedom to go whereever they could get a car to go. And all at a far cheaper cost than the alternative. Horses are exspensive. Few Americans could afford a horse but by comparision a car was cheap.


Doctors could now visit patients in remote rural locations thus expanding health care. Musicians no longer dependent on trains could cram their instruments into/onto a car thus exspanding the reach of popular music. Overall the personal car made much possible.

Reply:Only states may secede from the U.S. so there was no first %26quot;person%26quot; to secede from the union. There were many people who preached Secession for a long time such as





Edmund Ruffin: Ruffin was a farmer and slaveholder, a Confederate soldier, and an 1850s political activist. He advocated states%26#039; rights, secession, and slavery and was described by opponents as one of the fire-eaters. Ruffin was an ardent supporter of the Confederacy and an enemy of the North for its intrusion and invasion of his beloved Virginia.





After the surrender of Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House, this fiery Southerner penned these famous last words in his diary:





I here declare my unmitigated hatred to Yankee rule -- to all political, social and business connection with the Yankees and to the Yankee race. Would that I could impress these sentiments, in their full force, on every living Southerner and bequeath them to every one yet to be born! May such sentiments be held universally in the outraged and down-trodden South, though in silence and stillness, until the now far-distant day shall arrive for just retribution for Yankee usurpation, oppression and atrocious outrages, and for deliverance and vengeance for the now ruined, subjugated and enslaved Southern States!


...And now with my latest writing and utterance, and with what will be near my latest breath, I here repeat and would willingly proclaim my unmitigated hatred to yankee rule--to all political, social and business connections with Yankees, and the perfidious, malignant and vile Yankee race.





Ruffin could not get over the loss of his native South in the Civil War, nor could he bear the thought of living in a South ruled by an invader and took his own life, via gunshot to the head, soon after Lee%26#039;s surrender to Grant.

When did the industrial revolution start in the u.s.a.?

late 1800s after thecivil war
When did the industrial revolution start in the u.s.a.?
While on a trip to England in 1810, Newburyport, Massachusetts merchant Francis Cabot Lowell was allowed to tour the British textile factories, but not take notes. Realising the War of 1812 had ruined his import business but that a market for domestic finished cloth was emerging in America, he memorised the design of textile machines, and on his return to the United States, he set up the Boston Manufacturing Company. Lowell and his partners built America%26#039;s first cotton-to-cloth textile mill at Waltham, Massachusetts. After his death in 1817, his Associates built America%26#039;s first planned factory town, which they named after him. This enterprise was capitalised in a public stock offering, one of the first uses of it in the United States. Lowell, Massachusetts, utilising 5.6 miles (9.0 km) of canals and ten thousand horsepower delivered by the Merrimack River, is considered the %26#039;Cradle of the American Industrial Revolution%26#039;. The short-lived utopia-like Lowell System was formed, as a direct response to the poor working conditions in Britain.





However, by 1850, especially following the Irish Potato Famine, the system had been replaced by poor immigrant labour so except for this false start, the revolution started in earnest after the civil war.
When did the industrial revolution start in the u.s.a.?
From Wikipedia:





“Slater Mill [1793], located on the Blackstone River in Pawtucket, RI, is generally cited as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in America. It is modeled after a mill in England where Samuel Slater, the mill%26#039;s founder, had been an employee.”

In what was was world war 1 diffrent from earlier wars in which the US had been involved?

think about :


weapons used in the war


nations incvolved in the fighting


people who lost there lives in the war


where the fighting took place
In what was was world war 1 diffrent from earlier wars in which the US had been involved?
Wow... look at the typos.





Well, let%26#039;s think about it:





WW1: War in Europe. New technologies used for the first time -- the machine gun, mustard gas, trench warfare, tanks. In Europe -- destroyed much of France and Germany.





Earlier Wars US Fought in:


Revolutionary War -- on US Soil


Civil War -- on U.S. Soil


War of 1812 -- on US Soil -- all involved the British as the %26quot;bad guys%26quot; (except civil war, which was the war between the states.)


Spanish-American War -- also in North America.


Largely not %26quot;technology%26quot; wars. U.S. and Brits (and Spanish/natives) largely the people whose lives were lost.


In WWI nations were decimated. The Brits were our friends; the Germans and Austro-Hungarians were our foes.
In what was was world war 1 diffrent from earlier wars in which the US had been involved?
Well first it was the First World War so that was somthing for the whole world but also the Spanish-American War was also fought in the Philipenes we were allies with Britain France Japan Russia(not yet the Soviet Union) and a few others, new weapons were the Tank Machine Gun Chemical Bombs Planes and lots of Iron and Steel ships, the main loss of people was french german austrian hungarian and russian live as well as britain and american lives which did not lose as many the fighting was mainly in Europe but some fighting was in the Pacific where Japan was taking over some German Colonies.
Reply:The biggest weapon was the mass media and the development of propaganda. The United States was considered generally sympathetic to Germany before the mass media went to work on public opinion. Woodrow Wilson campaigned and won on a %26quot;keep out of the war%26quot; policy in 1916. By 1917 the US had joined the war on the side of the British.

The battle of hastings?
Harold Hadrada died at the battle of Stamford Bridge not the Battle of Hastings in 1066.





Harold Godwinson%26#039;s forces were better equipt and destroyed Hadrada%26#039;s army in the North of England.





It%26#039;s been years since i learnt about this so i cant remember the exact date. it was late in the year though and im sure a google search would sort it out.
The battle of hastings?
Legend has it he died by an arrow to the throat.
Reply:HMMMM = = = well Harold of Wessex was the King killed at Hastings. Previously Harold the Hasty had waged battle with King Harald Hadrada of Norway way up North at what was called The Battle of Stamford Bridge.


Caught by surprise by Harold of Wessex%26#039;s forces, King Harald was slain by sword, cut down and hacked to death during the fight.


Harold the Hasty then rushed the length of England to confront William the B^stard at what was later called the town of Battle but more popularly called The Battle of Hastings. At the heigth of battle Harold of Wessex took an arrow to the eye.


http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/MED...


%26quot;%26quot;%26quot;In 1066 Tostig, the brother of Harold of Wessex, went to Norway to meet King Hardrada. The two men agreed to invade England and in early September around 300 ships sailed along the coast and did some plundering, including the burning of Scarborough. They then entered the Humber and on 20th September defeated Morcar%26#039;s army at Gate Fulford. Four days later the invaders took York.





When Harold was told by a messenger that Hardrada of Norway had invaded with the intentions of conquering all of England, it is said that the king replied: %26quot;I will give him just six feet of English soil; or, since they say he is a tall man, I will give him seven feet!%26quot;





On 25th September Harold%26#039;s army arrived in Yorkshire. He took Tostig and Hardrada by surprise at a place called Stamford Bridge. It was a hot day and the Norwegians had taken off their byrnies (a mail shirt that reaches the mid thigh). Harold and his English troops devastated the Norwegians. Both Hardrada and Tostig were killed. The Norwegian losses were considerable. Of the 300 ships that arrived, less than 25 returned to Norway%26quot;%26quot;

The Final Solution was to kill them all. They justified this by claiming superiority of genetics.
Explain the nazis%26quot; final solution to the jewish question%26quot; and how they justified the policy?
its really a sad thing. many died of starvation, sickness, gas chambers. Hitler used his propaganda techniques to shift the blame. he wanted a perfect race of pure German, blond haired, blue eyed. By convincing his followers, Hitler made them think that the blame was on the Jews.
Reply:The final solution was designed to rid Europe of Jews.





The Nazis believed Jews to be an inferior race: %26quot;Untermenschen%26quot;, literally sub-humans. They claimed that Germany was laid low at the end of WWI due to a global Jewish conspiracy, and historically Jews were the natural nemesis of Aryan peoples.





The Nazis established an industrial network of factories, concentration camps, and extermination centers, linked primarily by rail.





First, the Jews were herded into ghettos, where they were relieved of their property.





Next, they were transported to concentration camps. The healthy %26amp; skilled were enslaved, contracted to industry or put to work in support of the German war effort. The weak, elderly, and infirm were executed at the death camps.
Reply:The Jewish Question was what to do with this enormous population of Jews that had been shunned by various nations around Europe for centuries, emboldening them while degrading them, stiffening their resolve to survive and their attempts to dominate the superior Aryan race.





The solution was a systemitized semi-industrial mechanism of state that separated them gathering them into clusters where they then would be collected used and selectively exterminated. It was a paragon of effeciency, and ran rather smoothly in relative secrecy to the extent that many Germans accepted it as the way things had to be. The morality and justification was that the world was thus eliminating a real menace to society.





The Jews didn%26#039;t think so nor did many other people.

What effect did world war II have on the lives of women and african americans?
Many women were able to leave the poorly paid jobs they had been in before the war and take better-paid jobs in defense. As a result, a lot of restaurants and laundries had to close because of lack of help. Peggy Terry, who got a job with her mother and sister at a shell-loading plant in Kentucky said %26quot;We made the fabulous sum of thirty-two dollars a week. It was just an absolute miracle. Before that, we made nothing.%26quot; Although most unmarried women were already working when the war started, a number of college student quit school to join the war effort, and among the other early volunteers were the wives of servicemen. Rose Kaminski of Milwaukee, whose husband served in the navy, got a job as a crane operator at an ordnance plant to move the huge howitzer gun barrels. %26quot;Well, I was running one in three days%26quot; she recalled much later. %26quot;It just came to me, I loved it.%26quot;





The shortage of teachers impelled most school boards to drop their rules against married women, and some actually appealed to married ex-teachers to return. The Office of War Information suggested articles it would like to see in print in newspapers and magazines %26quot;stories showing the advent of women in logging camps, on the railroads, riding the ranges, and showing them not as weak sisters but coming through in manly style. For a few women on the home front, the war opened up opportunities that might otherwise have been unimaginable. People started dancing to all-girl bands. The owner of the Chicago Cubs started an All-American Girls league.





More than 350,000 women enlisted during the war, mostly in the Women%26#039;s Army Corps (WAC) and the nursing corps. The Women%26#039;s Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) was created to free male fliers for service overseas. The 1,000 women who were accepted flew 60 million miles during the war, in every type of plane manufactured by the military.





African American women had difficulty breaking into the high-paying defense factory jobs. In 1943, at the height of the labour shortage, the United Auto Workers surveyed 280 factories that employed women workers and found only 74 that were willing to hire an African American. Most employers, when challenged, claimed they could not hire black women because white women refused to work with them. This was often true, though companies that took a firm line and forced their employees to choose between integration and loss of their lucrative jobs generally managed to overcome the problem fairly quickly.





It was not until 1944, under heavy pressure from Eleanor Roosevelt, that black women were welcomed into the military. The WAC eventually enlisted 4,000 black recruits. Despite its grave shortage of nurses, the army was reluctant to take black RNs - particularly if they would be treating white soldiers. The corps eventually took 500 and then enraged the black community by assinging some of them to work in prisoner-of-war camps.





In civilian live, black women moved into whatever slots white women left. They often took over low-paying jobs like elevator operators and car cleaners on railroads, but whatever the job, they saw it as an improvement over domestic work. %26quot;My sister always said that Hitler was the one that got us out of the white folks kitchens%26quot; said Tina Hill, a Los Angeles aircraft plant worker.

Questions on Canadian history.?

Why did the French go around North America to find furs and not stay in one place?





How does the European wars impact us now?





Why did we need the Natives for the fur trade?
Questions on Canadian history.?
Mans%26#039; search for Beaver knows no boundaries. Since Beavers tend to get wiped out when so many men are hunting them the French had to go further %26amp; farther into the wilderness in order to find Beaver. Since the French are fond of Beaver they were willing to endure all sorts of hardship to find Beaver.


The French found that the best way to find Beaver was to enlist the aid of natives. The Natives also liked Beaver and were much more in tune with Mother Nature. The Natives knew the best places to find Beaver and had the best methods for obtaining Beaver. Unfortunately Europeans became greedy for Beaver and the Natives abandoned their usual ecologically sound method of Beaver for an unsound method that drove Beaver into exstinction.


Once upon a time Beaver were common in New York and now as of 2008 sighting Beaver in New York is newsworthy.





As for European Wars. If the Europeans had not waged war for the exploitation of Beaver and other resources then mostr of North America would still be a nearly pristine wilderness peopled by Natives rather than a vast urban sprawl increasingly populated by Asian Indians and Chinese mixed in with a variety of Caucasians many of them Hispanic and N^groes. And Beaver would not be scarse.

PS And yes I know there are other fur bearing animals other than BEAVER but BEAVER sounds so mure fun than Marmots. A 1950%26#039;s show wherein a woman telling her husband, %26quot;You were awefully hard on the Marmot%26quot; would not have been half as much fun.
Questions on Canadian history.?
Because animals are not stupid. Lose enough friends and they figure they ought to move on. And of course, like the Buffalo there is a limited supply. If you kill them faster then they can breed and grow, soon you will be out of product.





As to why did they need the Natives for the fur trade? Hold your friends close and your enemies closer.





The wars were much later than the fur trade.
Reply:1) Because the beavers were getting extinct.





2) What if the French allied with the Iroquois rather than the Huron? Such as question would result in a whole turning of history for Canada as we now it. So, the wars were instrumental in directing which European power would become the ruler of Canada. We were the %26quot;Wild Cards%26quot; ---no pun intended.

Dorothea Dix????

How did living in the North affect her views in life????





please include any websites.
Dorothea Dix????
Now here is a story that Hollywood refuses to touch which is sad. Yes Dorothea Dix was a homely spinster hardly the stuff of romance but what the Heck, born into near poverty, plagued by poor health, she none-the-less was a tireless worker who lived to nearly ninety years of age.


Dix was a child of Maine. Her father a religious man. Raised amidst the stern Congregationalism of New England, Dorothea developed a work ethnic stressing hard word, strict discipline, a complete lack of frivolity. Many might fault Dix for being dry and humoress but never for working hard. At the age of near 60 Dix volunteered to work for free organzing nurses for the Union cause.


A short answer; living in the North especially New England gave Dix the notion that working hard %26amp; tirelessly selflessly was the only way to work.


http://www.dhhs.state.nc.us/MHDDSAS/DIX/...


%26quot;%26quot;%26quot;Dorothea Lynde Dix, daughter of Mary and Joseph Dix, was born in the tiny village of Hampden, Maine, on April 4, 1802. Her father, an itinerant preacher and publisher of religious tracts, had married much against his parents%26#039; wishes and had left their home in Boston to settle on what were then %26quot;wilderness lands%26quot; in Maine, owned by his father, Doctor Elijah Dix. %26quot;%26quot;

Reply:The patriotic thing to do is to raise the question publicly and inform others of what you%26#039;ve found out (if it%26#039;s verifiable and testable - the scientific method) no matter who the protagonists.





If that involves questioning your own govt. (as I guess you%26#039;re hinting) then so be it. That isn%26#039;t unpatriotic, it%26#039;s a duty. Anyone that tells you differently doesn%26#039;t understand patriotism. Patriotism is NOT about following blindly and unquestioningly.





The %26#039;staged act%26#039; scenario or false-flag operation as it%26#039;s more commonly known has a long and documented history with government agencies around the world responsible for some horrendous acts used to justify other horrendous and inhumane acts.

It%26#039;s interesting and may help to put some things into perspective.





Most importantly of all - be cynical. Certainly listen to what is being said by any large media outlet, but don%26#039;t believe it to be %26#039;gospel truth%26#039; even if some elements are true. Always keep your mind open to the alternative realities as media is owned by corporate interests who have their own agendas.





For good examples of the subtle and propagandistic ways that media frame discussions (and therefore %26#039;reality%26#039;), take a look at open community forum websites like MediaLens (www.medialens.org/board).

Have we seen a modern day personality we could relate to her?
How did Joan of Arc come to have such meaning for so many people?
Actually a large reason for that has to do with French nationalism. Previous to the revolution and even a while afterwards French nationalism was squarely vested in the Monarchy. After trying to re-institute the monarchy failed miserably they needed something new to hang their hat on.





Joan of Arc managed to resonate strongly with the French, esepcially these days due to her role in %26#039;repelling the foreigners%26#039; from French shores.

Certainly not as good as it could be, or has been in the past, but nowhere near the Great Depression. Don%26#039;t let these biased people lie to you, the President really has very little power over the economy. He can only sign or veto the economic legislation that Congress passes through. Having another Great Depression is unlikely, given the pure volume of the stock market. A %26quot;Great Depression%26quot; is really a perfect storm of poor economic conditions, and just flat out bad luck, and it is unlikely we will see one again. Recessions, and even short depressions, are an unavoidable part of the economic cycle.
Reply:Based on the latest statistics we are very close to getting into a depression, though some may argue that we already are in one because our recession has lasted too long. Think of the economy like an pendulum, when the pendulum is not moving the economy is stable and everything is flowing and working like it%26#039;s supposed to. When the pendulum starts to swing the economy is unstable with one side being Recession the other being Depression. The higher it swings the more unstable and dangerous it becomes. Right now the pendulum is swinging very high which means that we are on the verge of going into a Depression because we already hit the Recession. With companies not willing to hire full-time employees anymore and in California Full-Time is now 30Hrs a week, And benifits either being cut or are now non-existent. It is very easy to see that we are very much headed down the path of a Depression. It hurts everyone not just adults because Teens will or already are having a hard time getting a job.

Now, you know, the south succeeded (broke away) from the nation because they didnt want an anti-slavery president. But the first part of the war, until the Emancipation Proclomation





(the freeing of the slaves in the south - also the first act towards hope for no slavery. Lincoln did this to encourage the southern slaves to run away and want to work for the north, and also to change focus of the war which I will tell you about here:)





The south broke away because of the anti-slavery president but the war started because the north thought it was illegal to break away and the south said, %26quot;well we dont have to listen to those rules because we%26#039;re a new country!%26quot; and then when the Emacipation Proclomation came out it changed the point of the war from breaking away to slavery.





I hope I helped some! Good Luck!
Reply:I%26#039;m good in history but not in English so for the thesis sentence i can%26#039;t help but the Civil War was started due to high export tariffs on southern cotton. This is the main reason the south separated itself from the union of the United States. Slavery was not a factor until Gettysburg when Lincoln announced the end of slavery. This was his justification for the war. The sad thing was that Lincoln and General Grant offered a truse with the south which granted them an additional 20years of slavery if they would surrender. That is one thing they don%26#039;t teach you in the history books. A good book to check out is THE REAL LINCOLN by Thomas Delorenzo. It puts a lot of Lincoln%26#039;s thoughts and acts of the war into a good summary. But the south%26#039;s reason for leaving the union was for unfair taxes and teriffs. Funny thing is, that was what the Revolutionary War was fought over just a little less than 100 years earlier.
Reply:Starting point. The situation before the start of war. Tensions between North and South were alreay bordering on war even before the election. The South felt its rights were being increasingly compromised by the North, with its larger share of votes in congress. Slavery was of course one of the major issues, with decades of attempts at working out compromises satisfying neither side. After %26quot;Bloody Kansas%26quot; and the execution of John Brown, both sides had symbols to rally around. Economically the South was being choked by the protectionist tariffs of the North. Both issues were economic in nature; point out how money was the underlying cause. The South was much more agrarian, compared to the North, and differences in lifestyle played a part.


The election of Lincoln was looked at by the south as making war inevitable, because Lincoln was a Republican, a party that had already made its anti-slavery position clear. The southern states felt that he would not be willing to compromise,and would use the North%26#039;s dominance in congress to force through more anti-south laws. It%26#039;s arguable that the election of anyone other than a rabidly pro-slavery candidate would have still had the same result. As noted before, tensions had been simmering for decades and both sides were growing increasingly reluctant to find a compromise.


When South Carolina seceeded, the movement of troops into Fort Sumpter by the Union triggered the near-hysteria that had been building up,. Percieved as an act of war, South Carolina acted by opening fire, removing the last chance for negotiation. Ironically Lincoln had no control over this event, and with the northern states screaming for revenge and retaliation, and with his own desire to hold the Union together, the war was on. Both sides began the war believing that their own rightous causes and superior soldiers would make the war a short one. Both sides were wrong.
Reply:Don%26#039;t listen to these %26quot;Lincoln freed the slaves%26quot; people. Lincoln stated many many times he had no desire to abolish slavery, and he would be considered a white supremacist today (with his comments about the inferiority of African-Americans). The Civil War began because the south felt that the North was taking an unfair amount of tax revenue, based on how they were represented, and how funds were being spent. The north used money for many bridge-to-nowhere %26quot;public works%26quot; projects, and they sought to control tariffs. The root of the Civil war was not slavery, but states rights and economic issues.

Is the japanese in world war II a continuation of imperialism?

The short answer is yes.





The Meiji restoration of 1868 was based upon one founding principle, to modernize on a western model as quickly as possible to avoid being colonized by the western powers. Unfortunately one of the key tenets of modernization at the time was imperialism, Japans early imperial conquests between 1895-1910 met with whole hearted support from the western powers.





It wasn%26#039;t until after WWI that the western powers began to take a different approach to colonialism, one which the Japanese as a late comer to the party felt was unfair.
Is the japanese in world war II a continuation of imperialism?
If you mean was Japan imperialist during the 1940s, then YES.





Japan had been an imperialist nation arguably since 1894, when they fought the First Sino-Japanese War over control of Korea. After defeating the Chinese, a puppet government was set up in Korea, and Japan took control of parts of Manchuria and Taiwan.





10 years later, the Japanese went to War with Russia over influence in Korea, this led to Japan annexing Korea out-right in 1910 and capturing Sakhalin Island from the Russian empire.





During World War 1, Japan declared war on Germany, allowing them to annex German territories in Asia, and the Pacific and almost led to full conquest of main land China.





Huge economic growth, led to Japan needing raw materials from abroad leading to the liberation of Manchuria and the creation of the puppet state of Manchukuo, with the backing of the Emperor of China, against revolutionary China.





The Second Sino-Japanese war started in 1937, ended with the establishment of the Wang Jingwei Government, a puppet government that ruled annexed Chinese territories.





The Second World War saw the greatest imperialist successes of the Japanese Empire, annexing Hong Kong, British Malaya, Indochina, Burma, Thailand and the Philippines.





The development of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, (ei. the Japanese Empire) during WW2 was a continuation of imperialism, that had been progressing with few challenges for over half a century.

Reply:The industrial revolution led to many major historical events. You can say the next big historical events were the labor movements. They came from the industrial revolution due to terrible working conditions, work becoming easier-hence skilled workers needing protection from money hungry industrialists, etc. The Ford factory line also came from the ind. rev. While the industrial revolution didn%26#039;t lead to the world wars...it was definately a cause for the huge death tolls due to the widespread manufacturing of new terrifying weapons. The baby boom was a also a product of the industrial revolution due to the ease of producing food and transporting it...therefore huge population growth. I guess it can be contributed to many major historical events throughout the 20th century up to the present.

From that time onward, here is a list: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0107569.h...





----------------





Before 1701, its a little vague who %26#039;ruled%26#039; the Prussian area, who were part of the Baltic tribes. This Wiki site can give you a little more information but you will have to do more research to find exact rulers.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussians





%26quot;Because the Baltic tribes inhabiting Prussia never formed a common political and territorial organisation, they had no reason to adopt a common ethnic or national name. Instead they used the name of the region from which they came 鈥?Galindians, Sambians, Bartians, Nadrovians, Natangians, Scalovians, Sudovians, etc. It is not known when and how the first general names came into being. This lack of unity weakened them severely, similar to the condition of Germany during the Middle Ages.%26quot;
