Following on the successful activism of Cesar Chavez, Mexican American youths began to refer to themselves as A. Los Hombres.
B. Los Barrios.
C. Chicanos.
D. Mexicans

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The correct answer is C. Chicanos.

"Chicano" was originally a pejorative (negative) term for Mexican Americans, especially the ones with an immigrant backgound.

Within the Mexican Americans there was a need for a new identity, and a feeling (both from within and from outside) that they were different both from the Mexican and from other Americans.
This identity, along with a fight for better fighters' rights, was at the heart of the Chicano Movement, which began in the 1940s.  Cesar Chavez was an important activist for this movement.

What can be inferred from the fact that the United States did not share its plans for building the atomic bomb with the Soviets during the war?

Answers

Because the soviet union was a communist regime and the americans were a capitalist country and this meant they really did not like each other but the only reason they fought together in world war 2 is because they had a common enemy that was more of a threat then each other (at the time) but during the end of the war the british and americans new they would have problems with russia so they started to prepare for what will ever come next (which was the cold war) by grabbing as much land as they could and not giving them technology like the atomic bomb
