How did the Great Depression Affect the U.S?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The Great Depression was the greatest and most wide-spread financial and economic disaster in the history of the modern world. Many blamed the US for its origin--arguing that it was the carelessness of the banks and stock brokers that led the stock market to crash. This crash sent ripples around the world and forced many Americans into severe poverty.
Answer 2
Answer: When the stock market crashed many people lost money. Banks began to close, taking other peoples money with them since they couldn't pay it back. People started to get laid off from their jobs because the business owners could not afford to pay them. During the Great Depression there was also the Dust Bowl in parts of the midwest and crops failed so people started to move out of there and go to California, where they were just turned back by policemen because in California they didn't have any job openings, as they already could not pay people. The unemployment rate rose to 25%. "Hoovervilles" where formed, which were small "villages" in park areas in cities where many unemployed people went (mostly men who could not afford to feed their families and were embarrassed by it, so they left them) and they were full of danger. Overall, the Great Depression was a hard economic downfall on America.

What exists before an empire? How is that similar to the exposition of a story?

Answers

Exposition sets the ground for what is going to happen. It gives us background information about the people, territories, events and it slowly leads us into the story. Similar to this, before the empire, we have a central state that is gaining power due to historical circumstances. We can see the events taking place that will eventually lead to the rise of an empire.

Americans feared the growing power of the Soviet Union and worried that communism might spread. C. Both sides began stockpiling nuclear weapons. D. Western democracies could not remain allied with oppressive, totalitarian, communist governments.

Answers

The item in your list that is NOT true as a reason behind the Cold War:

A. The U.S. initiated a policy of attacking communism in the Soviet Union.

Historical context:

The term Cold War refers to the heightened tension that existed for almost 50 years between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).

Some of the deeper issues that set the USA and the USSR at odds were that the USA was committed to capitalism and democratic institutions of government, whereas the USSR was committed to communism and imposed authoritarian government.  The Cold War was mostly a tension between these worldviews.There were also immediate conflicts and pressure points as the Cold War began. One of those issues was that the USA had atomic weapons and the USSR did not.  (The US would not share that technology with the Soviets, who had been their ally in World War II.)  When the Soviets developed their own atomic weaponry, this led to a massive arms race between the superpowers.
