should the united states have dropped the bomb? why is that a difficult question? (WWII)​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This is a very opinionated and debated question.

The Common Theory (US Perspective):

The bomb had to be dropped on the cities in order to prevent the prolonging of war and death. More casualties would happen on both sides, Japanese and American.

Counterargument:

The bombs should not have been dropped because the Japanese were going to surrender soon. This was due to the USSR invading Japanese occupied China, which the Japanese did not want to be occupied by the Soviets. So either way, Japan would most likely have surrendered in 1945 on American terms due to the fear of Soviet occupation.

Other Arguments:

The bomb was used to show off American military might since WW2 was ending the Cold War between the US and USSR was beginning. The atom bombs did scare the Soviets when they were used on Japan.

How were the Mauryan and Gupta Empires different?

Answers

The Mauryan empire existed during 325 – 1285 BCE. The Gupta dynasty existed between 320 and 550 CE.  The Mauryan Empire was very vast and the dynasty ruled almost all of India, including what is now Pakistan and Afghanistan. The area under the rule of The Gupta rulers was much less than that of The Mauryan Empire. The administrative structure of the Mauryan Empire was very much centralized. During The Gupta rule, it had more decentralized administrative structure that was followed. Administration of villages was bestowed with local leaders, and the rulers never intervened with such administration. The Mauryan rulers introduced very extensive tax system, and imposed heavy taxes on the people. The Guptas were more liberal in imposing taxes on citizens. The Mauryan rulers favored and promoted mainly non Hindu religions. The Gupta rulers followed and promoted Hinduism. Great architectural structures and pillars were built during the Mauryan dynasty and science, literature and astronomy flourished during the Gupta period. The Mauryan rulers actively entered into foreign trade. The Gupta rulers on the other hand were more interested in internal trade. Decline of the Mauryan Empire was abetted by internal strife and assassination of ruler and The Gupta dynasty faced external threat and military conflict.

Answer: The main difference between Mauryan and Gupta Empires is that the Mauryan empire was in power before Christ, whereas the Gupta empire came into power after Christ. Mauryan empire was comparatively larger and had a centralized administration. While the Gupta empire was smaller and had a decentralized administration.

The Civil Rights Movement made great strides toward equality, but our society still has a long way to go. How have we made progress? Where is there still work to be done? Use examples to support your answer.​

Answers

Answer is given below:

Explanation:

From the civil rights movement, we have tried in previous diversified movements to eliminate redistribution, segregation laws and other shortcomings. An example of the rise from the civil rights movement is the Workplace Discrimination Act, which states that businesses cannot lay off potential employees due to race, disability, age, gender or race.It is very rare to have a colorful woman in government power today. But recently as a political woman in America Kamala Harris became the first woman of color and the first woman to become vice president. It is a staple of American civil rights. 100 years ago every white person in America cheated on this. Despite this popularity, America still has work to do, for example one of America’s lofty goals is to have a woman president of color. This has never been achieved. If you’ve heard recently about the murder of so many blacks across America like Floyd U, you’ll see that more action needs to be taken to help in these situations.

Which of the following was Germany permitted to keep under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles?
new military weapons
monetary reparations to cities
a standing army
rights to all territories

Answers

C. A standing army.

Explanation:

The Treaty of Versailles was very important and was the official end of World War I. This treaty was signed by Germany and the Allied Powers, but is known for being very harsh on Germany.

The Treaty of Versailles extremely angered the Germans, who believed they had just as much to do with World War I as everyone else did. The treaty however, made Germany take full responsibility for the war and gave them harsh guidelines to follow.

Germany had to pay billions of dollars, give up the land they got during World War I to France and the League of Nations, placed heavy restrictions on their military, and other important things. Germany could keep a standing army under the Treaty of Versailles, without breaking the terms.

Answer:

A standing army

The simple explenation:

The treaty of Versailles was made to keep Germany from hurting other countries. The treaty had to let Germany keep a small army to protect itself from others.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having political parties in a country?

Answers

Answer:

1. Political parties are able to present political information to the voting population in a manner that is readily understandable.

By doing so, there is order in the country through the representation of broad political philosophy of the group. As a result, voters become aware of every party’s stance on certain issues. A good example would be the 2012 Presidential Election between Republican Mitt Romney and Democrat Barack Obama. Each candidate represented major issues of their respective parties to the public.

2. Political parties provide balance through the accommodation of various interests and opinions.

Both political parties are organized groups with differing political views, which make it important for political parties to make decisions that will favor not only few but also all interests and opinions to keep the loyalty of their supporters.

3. Political parties prevent unexpected shifts in political trends that threaten stability in the government.

The US’ two-party system helps promote stability in the government because there will only be two parties sharing power, which can dissolve or change coalitions immediately. Now, if voters disagree on one political issue, they would generally understand that the candidates represent bigger issues that need more attention. This discourages voters from giving up their support for their party. Additionally, elected officials will have time to focus on long-term policies that benefit the public.

4. Political parties encourage political participation.

As a democratic nation, America allows its citizens to freely express their opinions and to support the political party that shares their interest and opinion. Unlike China, the US government encourages the public to participate and cast their votes at the polls. Hence, the public can contribute in making significant changes that will benefit everyone.
