why is antarctica governed by a treaty instead of a government

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Maybe because Antarctica is used mainly for scientific research. It is also protected by the Antarctic Treaty which bans any type of military activity.

Explanation:

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

The main treaty was opened for signature on December 1, 1959, and officially entered into force on June 23, 1961.

The original signatories were the 12 countries active in Antarctica during the International Geophysical Year (IGY) of 1957–58. The twelve countries that had significant interests in Antarctica at the time were: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Chile, France, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

These countries had established over 55 Antarctic stations for the IGY. The treaty was a diplomatic expression of the operational and scientific co-operation that had been achieved "on the ice".

Scientific bases increased in international tension concerning Antarctica, and the danger of the Cold War spreading to that continent, caused the President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, to convene an Antarctic Conference to the twelve countries active in Antarctica during the International Geophysical Year, to sign a treaty. In the first phase, representatives of the twelve nations met in Washington, who met in 60 sessions from June 1958 to October 1959, to define the basic negotiating framework. Still, no consensus was reached on a preliminary draft. In the second phase, a conference of the highest diplomatic level was held from October 15 to December 1, 1959, the date of the signing of the treaty. The central ideas with full acceptance were the freedom of scientific research in Antarctica and the peaceful use of the continent. Still, their demilitarization and the maintenance of the status quo also had consensus.

The positions of the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand coincided in the establishment of an international administration for Antarctica, proposing the latter to be within the framework of the United Nations. Australia and the United Kingdom expressed the need for inspections by observers, and the second proposed the use of military means for logistics functions. Argentina proposed that all atomic explosions be banned in Antarctica, which caused a crisis that lasted until the eve of the firm, since the United States, along with other countries, intended to ban only those that were made without prior notice and without prior consultation. The support of the USSR and Chile to the Argentine proposal finally caused the United States to retract its opposition

Compare and contrast the economies of the North and South. Explain why the demand for enslaved laborers was different in each region.

Answers

Answer:

The South valued slaves more because they used them as workers in farming and agriculture.The South had a lot of fertile land which they used to their advantage in the cotton and tobacco industry. The north was more abolitionist and supportive of getting rid of slavery while the stubborn South wanted to keep their ways of life in place. They (the North) focused on becoming more modern and industrialized and more city-like.

describe the wave power of the December 26th 2004 tsunami

Answers

Answer: The December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was caused by an earthquake that is thought to have had the energy of 23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs. ... Within hours of the earthquake, killer waves radiating from the epicenter slammed into the coastlines of 11 countries, damaging countries from east Africa to Thailand.

The high of the wave in 2004 tsunami was 100 feet

Explanation: For an earthquake-generated tsunami, the wavelength generally reaches a few hundred kilometres if the concerned fault is long. For the 2004 Sumatra earthquake, the wavelength is estimated, from the first wave measured by the Jason-1 satellite altimeter, as around 500–600 km (Gower 2005).

Explain how the spread of communism after the Vietnam war differed from u.s. strategiests' expectations

Answers

Answer:

The reason why the spread of communism after the Vietnam war differed from the strategists' expectations of the U.S. was that they wanted to prevent the spread of communism in Asia, but also to stop the communist government to settle in Vietnam to rule it.

Explanation:

The reasons behind this answer are that in the first place. The U.S. believed the communist movement was to spread communism through Asia because they believed in the "domino effect". Now, they were wrong about that, because the people wanted a revolution, not specifically communism. Also, they believed they would influence all the rest of its neighbors. When only a couple of countries followed communism. So, their theories were completely wrong. And their strategists' expectations failed because they only strengthened the sentiment of liberty seek in Vietnamese people.

The spread of communism after the Vietnam war varied from the U.S. expert's expectations because it did not spread in Laos and Cambodia.

The Vietnam war

The United States presented the Domino effect to show the spread of Communism in Asia.

The theory declared that if one country came under communism, then the surrounding countries will become as well.

Unfortunately, the Vietnam War differed from American expectations because it did not spread to other countries.

Laos and Cambodia remain untouched by the communists.

Answers

Answer:

b. It had a larger number of soldiers.

c. It had a stronger navy.

e. It had a better network of railroads.

Explanation:

Why it is not A or C.

Most of the battles (except for a couple), were fought on the Southern home field. This allowed for easier transportation for the South (as they were fairly agriculture and had little to no up-to-date transportation), but with Northern advancement, it lead to a detriment in the destruction of their few transportation routes.

Also, many well-known military leaders resigned from the U.S. army, to fight for their home state. These include but are not limited too Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and many others. They trained together with many of their Northern compatriots, and knew each other quite well.

Abraham Lincoln said, the issues of the Lincoln-Douglas debates would be discussed long after “these poor tongues of Judge Douglas and myself shall be silent.” What were the short term and long term effects of the Lincoln-Douglas debates?

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

                                             Although senators were elected by the state legislatures until 1913, Douglas and Lincoln took their arguments directly to the people. The timing of the campaign, the context of sectional animosity within which it was fought, the volatility of the slavery issue, and the instability of the party system combined to give the debates a special importance. Not long before, Douglas had defied President James Buchanan and the southern Democratic leadership when he opposed the admission of Kansas as a slave state under the controversial Lecompton constitution, a stand for which he received support from Republicans in Congress as well as their interest in his reelection. At the same time, Buchanan and the southern slave interests gave tacit (and in some instances explicit) support to Lincoln’s candidacy because of their hostility to Douglas. As a result of this strange alignment, Lincoln’s principal task was to keep Illinois Republicans from supporting Douglas by exposing the moral gulf that separated them from the senator and to win the support of radical abolitionists and former conservative Whigs. A relative newcomer to the antislavery cause (before 1854, he said, slavery had been a “minor question” with him), Lincoln used the debates to develop and strengthen the moral quality of his position.

On election day, the voters of Illinois chose members of the state legislature who in turn reelected Douglas to the Senate in January 1859. Although Lincoln lost, the Republicans received more popular votes than the Democrats, signaling an important shift in the political character of the state. Moreover, Lincoln had gained a reputation throughout the North. He was invited to campaign for Republican candidates in other states and was now mentioned as a candidate for the presidency. In winning, Douglas further alienated the Buchanan administration and the South, was soon to be stripped of his power in the Senate, and contributed to the division of the Democratic party.

Answer:

B. Phoenicians were able to trade items not available in most places.

Explanation:

Through their natural resources and their own inventiveness, the Phoenicians were able to provide trade items that other civilizations could not. Phoenicians had access to highly valued "cedars of Lebanon" (Phoenicia was located in modern Lebanon), they had learned how to obtain a royal purple dye named "Tyrian purple" (Tyre was a major city in Phoenicia), and they had invented a way to make valuable glass artwork. The Phoenicians also traded other items such as ivory, silver, and slaves.
