As the one hundredth anniversary of the beginning of World War I approaches, one may encounter some rather strained attempts to compare the current global balance of forces to that in Europe in 1914. I recently visited several countries in south east Asia and a different comparison struck me, the similarities between now and the 1930s, weak democracies and strong dictatorships.

This comparison “jumped off the page” after a week in Bangkok, followed by several days in Hanoi - a journey from a country with weak and faltering formal democratic institutions to an apparently stable one with an authoritarian regime (bordering on a country with a considerably more brutal dictatorship, China).

In The Age of Extremes, Eric Hobsbawm argued that the conflict between capitalism and communism determined the course of the twentieth century.  This confrontation of socio-economic ideologies without doubt dominated European and global history, especially after 1945.  But another, inter-related confrontation that determined the course of the century was authoritarianism versus democracy. The capitalism-communism conflict seems but a moment of history for people in their forties and younger. However, the danger of a rising authoritarian wave is as imminent in the twenty-first century as it was in the twentieth.

In most countries of Europe in the 1930s the contest between authoritarian and democratic visions of society dominated the political struggle. The exceptions were Italy where the fascists had already established an extreme version of authoritarian rule, and Britain where a rigid class structure gave stability to superficially democratic institutions. By the middle of the decade, capitalist authoritarian regimes were clearly on the rise in Germany and much of central and eastern Europe (e.g., Hungary and Poland), as well as Portugal, with Spain soon to join the anti-democratic camp.

Indeed, in very few of the industrialised countries in the late 1930s did democracy seem the stronger trend. Among the large countries only in the United States was there an unambiguous shift towards strengthening popular participation. Ironically enough it was during the presidency of patrician Franklin D Roosevelt that trade unions asserted themselves as a major political force (which would not survive much past mid-century).

Now, well into the twenty-first century it is even more difficult to find a major country with vigorous and democratic institutions, certainly not in the United States nor in Europe. In the United States the confrontation between a well-funded right wing Republican Party and the middle-of-the road Democrat Party dominates politics, one doctrinaire and aggressive, the other muddled and vascillating. The anti-democratic trend is demonstrated by passage of laws restricting the right to vote in Republican controlled states, linked to the racist xenophobia of the Tea Party. In the White House sits a Democrat apparently unconcerned by a massively intrusive national security complex.

In Europe anti-democratic trends are if anything stronger. Britain probably has the most extensive video surveillance network in Europe (see recent articles in the Guardian), as well as legal restrictions on the right of assembly, designed to reduce public protests (as we find in Spain). In addition, the Conservative-dominated coalition government’s brutal attack on poor households receiving social support in effect legalises civil rights violations. Surveillance, attacks on the poor and the government fanning fears of immigrants combine to make a potent anti-democratic package.

On the continent pre-existing authoritarian tendencies enjoyed a quantum leap under the EU-wide austerity regime fostered by the German government under the cover of the European Commission. The unelected governments in Greece (2011-12) and Italy (2011-13) represent the most obvious and shocking examples of the authoritarian trend.  Much more serious in the long term is the EU fiscal compact (officially named the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union).

This treaty, which came into effect at the beginning of 2013, severely limits the authority of national parliaments to set fiscal policy. The treaty and additional measures demanded by the German government remove fiscal policy from public control (with monetary policy in the hands of the European Central Bank and beyond national accountability). This process in which major decisions are taken away from the electorate fundamentally undermines public faith in the democratic process.

Explanation:

Authoritarian governments were able to flourish in the 1920s because democratic governments were failing especially in the late 1920s and early 1930s. On top of that socialism was spreading which scared many people and authoritarianism seemed like a better option than democracy for stopping socialism.

Authoritarian government is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, reductions in the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic voting. Political scientists have created many typologies describing variations of authoritarian forms of government.

Authoritarian regimes may be either autocratic or oligarchic and may be based upon the rule of a party or the military. States that have a blurred boundary between democracy and authoritarianism have sometimes been characterized as "hybrid democracies", "hybrid regimes" or "competitive authoritarian" states.

Minimally defined, an authoritarian government lacks free and competitive direct elections to legislatures, free and competitive direct or indirect elections for executives, or both.

Answer:

The correct answer is B. World War I.

Explanation:

A trench warfare is a war in which both sides have dug themselves opposite each other in trenches and other fortified positions, with the aim of halting the advance of the enemy, which culminates in a stalemate where neither side succeeds in breaking through the enemy lines. The best-known trench warfare is World War I.

In general, trench warfare is the result of technological advances that allow enemy soldiers to be killed faster than they can advance. For example, in World War I, repeating rifles, machine guns, and modern artillery made it possible to mow down soldiers in the open by bushes. However, as armies still moved largely on foot and horseback, they could not cross those same open battlefields fast enough to get close enough to the enemy and fire effectively at the enemy.

The process of European colonization and the division of Africa among European powers took place during the late 19th century and lasted for several decades.

This period, known as the Scramble for Africa, began in the 1880s and continued until the early 20th century. European countries, including Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Portugal, rapidly expanded their territories and established colonies across Africa. By the early 1900s, virtually all of Africa south of the Sahara had been colonized, marking the completion of European domination over the continent.

The exact timeframe of this process varied across different regions and countries, but it generally took several decades for Europe to assert its control over the majority of Africa south of the Sahara.

Answer:

1. Ongoing Wars

2.Immigration and Deportation

3. Big surveillance

Explanation:

1. Less than a month after 9/11, U.S. troops invaded Afghanistan in an attempt to dismantle  al-Qaeda — the terrorist group that claimed responsibility for the attacks — and remove the Taliban government harboring it. Our military involvement in Afghanistan, which continues today, has turned into the longest-running war in U.S. history. And although formal U.S. combat operations ended in late 2014,  more than 8,000 U.S. troops are still there to stem the ongoing Taliban insurgency. The LA Times reports that as of August 25, 2014, 749 California service members from every corner of the state had been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

2.  The Immigration and Naturalization Service and the U.S. Customs Service -- both formerly part of the Department of Justice -- were consolidated into the newly formed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The agency has overseen a massive increase in deportations; they have nearly doubled since 9/11. According to the Department of Homeland Security’s Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, there were roughly 200,000 annual deportations a year between 1999 and 2001. While that number dropped slightly in 2002, it began to steadily climb the following year. In the first two years of the Obama Administration (2009 - 2010), deportations hit a record high: nearly 400,000 annually.  About half of those deported during that period were convicted of a criminal offense, although mostly low-level, non-violent crimes.

3. The U.S. intelligence state boomed in the wake of 9/11. The growth resulted in a marked increase in government oversight, primarily through a vast, clandestine network of phone and web surveillance.  The exponential growth of this apparatus -- armed with a $52.6 billion budget in 2013 -- was brought to light when the Washington Post obtained a "black budget" report from Snowden, detailing the bureaucratic and operational landscape of the 16 spy agencies and more than 107,000 employees that now make up the U.S. intelligence community.

C. The family was the purpose of existence and thc heart of the social/cultural system.

Explanation:

Italian immigrants were very family-oriented to the point of making family the heart of their subculture. The reason is that Italians themselves are very family oriented in Italy and those who emigrated did not change this aspect of their culture.

This was also advantageous because families helped each other in such a difficult process as it is emigrating to a different country with very little or no property at all.

In the late 1970s, President Jimmy Carter was supportive of arms limitations but at the same time approved increased military spending. His support of human rights and anger over the 1979 Soviet invasion in Afghanistan let to the collapse of détente and prepared the ground for a return to a more aggressive containment policy."

The statement that most accurately compares US policies of containment and detected is Containment Increased tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, while détente sought to ease tensions between the two countries. The correct option is c.

Containment was a geopolitical strategic foreign policy pursued by the United States during the Cold War to prevent the spread of communism after the end of World War II. The name was loosely related to the term cordon sanitaire, which was containment of the Soviet Union in the interwar period.

As a component of the Cold War, this policy caused a response from the Soviet Union to increase communist influence in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Containment represented a middle-ground position between détente and rollback. The basis of the doctrine was articulated in a 1946 cable by U.S. diplomat George F. Kennan during the post-World War II term of U.S. President Harry S. Truman.

As a description of U.S. foreign policy, the word originated in a report Kennan submitted to US Defense Secretary James Forrestal in 1947, which was later used in a magazine article.

Explanation:

The correct answer is C. 1933 - 1945.

Explanation

In 1929 there was a world financial crisis that affected the great world powers like the United States. Therefore, the 1930s represented a challenge for President Franklin D. Rosevelt, who had to lead the economic reactivation after this crisis. For this reactivation, Franklin D. Roosevelt implemented the New Deal in which he included broad support for workers through laws such as The Fair Labor Standards Act of 19383 and the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933. These policies contributed to the strengthening of unions and labor rights over the next decade. So the correct answer is C.

This confirms that these were indeed blood stains and not paint as suggested because both hemoglobin and albumin are substances that are present in the human blood.

Answer:

The Answer is A.

Explanation:

I just did it on edge 2021.

The term "The Good War" assumes that there is specifically a good side and a  evil side. In a sense, it was a good war for the United States and her allies. The true democratic states were able to defeat the Fascist and Imperialistic countries of the Axis, and establish the noble ideals that founded the US to the world.

However, was it truly the "good war"? I would argue not. After all, the very ideals established by the US was forfeited within the United States. The Good War essentially established that the all people have the right to first their life, their freedom, their opinions, and then the defense of oneself. However, the US, the long-time champion of such beliefs, also dropped this belief in times of war, as the then-Democratic president Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which, combined with the Orders leading up to it, removed their freedom to religion (First Amendment), their right to press and free speech (First Amendment), in the beginning, the force stay-at-home orders during the beginning of the war (Third Amendment), as well as the forced removal from their homes (Fourth Amendment). Quite frankly, the Democratic Party essentially treated those who were of Japanese descent as sub-human and sub-par, and that the only positive compared to that of the concentration camps ran by the Nazi's was that the US did not murder Japanese & German ancestry's, and slowly worked to improve the livelihoods of those who lived in these camps.

Again, this is definitely not taking away from the accomplishments that the US had achieved during this war. They, in a broad scheme of things, were able to beat back fascism, totalitarianism, extreme inhumane treatments, the guarantee of fair treatment of individual sovereign nations, and many other achievements. However, to only suggest that the US did positive things without shining some light to the negative is a faulty logic, and to suggest that WWII was simply "the good war" without allowing for further information would imply that the US (or Allies, in the grand scheme of things) was never in the wrong, and always in the right.
