Answer:
Write a detailed report about the advances of Japan across Asia and the Pacific during 1941-1942.
Japanese expansion in East Asia began in 1931 with the invasion of Manchuria and continued in 1937 with a brutal attack on China. On December 7, 1941, Japanese planes attacked the US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor External, Hawaii Territory, killing more than 2,300 Americans. The U.S.S. Arizona was fully destroyed and also the U.S.S. Oklahoma capsized. A total of twelve ships sank or were aground within the attack and 9 further vessels were broken. More than a hundred and sixty craft were destroyed and over a hundred and fifty others were damaged. The United States declared war on Japan the following day, December 8. On December 11, Nazi Germany, Japan's Axis ally, declared war on the United States. This forced the United States to enter a two-front war. Japan occupies a succession of countries, as well as the Philippines, Dutch East Indies, Burma, and Malaya. In June, US aircraft carriers defeat the Japanese at the Battle of Midway. The US begins a method of "'island-hopping", cutting the Japanese support lines as its forces advance. The surrender of Imperial Japan was proclaimed by Japanese Emperor Hirohito on August 15 and formally signed on September 2, 1945, ending years of bloody fighting in a ceremony aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. It's known as V-J Day in some countries.
Write your opinion on the decision of bombing Pearl Harbor. Was it a wise decision? Why or why not?
Admiral Yamamoto didn't build a wise call on the bombing of Pearl Harbor because although he was doing well at the time since he hit them by without notice. Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku spent months planning an attack that aimed to destroy the Pacific Fleet and destroy morale in the U.S. Navy resulted in the destruction of 180 U.S. aircraft and more than 3,400 American casualties.
The Americans came back and attacked them worse than they had attacked the Americans in the first place. Pearl Harbor attack had failed in its objective to completely destroy the Pacific Fleet. In June 1942, this failure came to haunt the Japanese, as U.S. forces scored a major victory in the Battle of Midway, decisively turning the tide of war in the Pacific.

discuss the working style of young italy party
Young Italy (Italian: La Giovine Italia) was a political movement for Italian youth (under age 40) founded in 1831 by Giuseppe Mazzini. After a few months of leaving Italy, in June 1831, Mazzini wrote a letter to King Charles Albert of Sardinia, in which he asked him to unite Italy and lead the nation. A month later, convinced that his demands did not reach the king, he founded the movement in Marseille. It would then spread out to other nations across Europe.[1] The movement's goal was to create a united Italian republic through promoting a general insurrection in the Italian reactionary states and in the lands occupied by the Austrian Empire. Mazzini's belief was that a popular uprising would create a unified Italy.[2] The slogan that defined the movement's aim was "Union, Strength, and Liberty". The phrase could be found in the tricolor Italian flag, which represented the country's unity.[3]

Explanation:
During his presidency, Nixon made multiple recordings of his conversations for a future memoir. These tapes were vital evidence in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal. After Congress was informed of the taping system within the White House, a subpoena was issued to retrieve these tapes. Nixon refused to turn over the tapes, claiming that executive privilege allowed him to keep them secret.
The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Nixon must release the tapes. Out of the tapes that were released, one had enough evidence of the Watergate burglary cover-up to convince Congress to impeach Nixon. He resigned to avoid this.

PARALYSIS RESEARCH)
Answer and Explanation:
Since there are no instructions here, I will provide you with some topic ideas to write about:
Superman is special because he is not human like us. He does not have the same frailties and problems we do.Superman has powers, which makes it easier to see him as a hero according to the general concept we have connected to that word.Christopher Reeve, however, was human just like us. Even though he played Superman as an actor, he had the same difficulties we do.As a human, Reeve was frail. After fracturing his spine, he was paralyzed from the neck down.Reeve became, at first glance, the opposite of Superman: no strength, so super abilities.However, Reeve was even more of a hero than Superman. He could have given up on life and hope, but he did not. Through his foundation, he supported researches about paralysis. He inspired and helped people who, just like him, depended on the assistance of others and moved on a wheelchair. In spite of his physical condition, he remained optimistic and mentally strong.Reeve was not an ordinary hero. His determination and positivity made him a role model to all of us.After doing the activity, give your own definition of culture, society and politics,
1.Culture =
2.Society =
3.Politics =

Decided in 1803, Marbury remains the single most important decision in American constitutional law.[1] The Court's landmark decision established that the U.S. Constitution is actual law, not just a statement of political principles and ideals, and helped define the boundary between the constitutionally separate executive and judicial branches of the federal government.

The correct answer is "was a successful and strong community."
The Plymouth colony was a successful and strong community.
This Plymouth colony was founded in 1620 by Eglish religious people that left Great Britain running from persecution from the Church of England.
Since these people were traveling on the Mayflower ship from England to North America, they signed the "Mayflower Compact." It was an important document for the Plymouth Colony because it established rules that all of the Pilgrims had to follow.
The Mayflower was the name of the ship that the Puritans and other English people used to travel to the North American territory. They wanted to arrive at the coast of Virginia but strong winds and difficult weather conditions made them arrive at Cape Cod. Massachusetts, where they founded the colony of Plymouth. During the trip, the Puritans elaborated a document later called the Mayflower Compact, which represented the first series of rules and regulations that people need to follow to succeed in the new territory.

How will the fourth amendment be relevant in 50 years?
Answer:
The 4th amendment gave citizens basic legal rights, like needing a warant to search someone's home, and probable cause to conduct the search in the first place. This will most likely become more and more relevant in the coming years because of the hightened tension between African Americans and police officers, which will mean the police will be held on a tighter leash and will be much more cautious when conducting search warrants and arrests. Many, many court cases will be held against police, arguing the police had no probable cause, or they violated a citizens rights, which will be treated more seriously than in the past. (granted this is an opinion)
hope this helps! :)
