casualties, impoverished Europe, destroyed three empires, and set the stage for
an even more savage World War II — had many roots.” (Paragraph 3)
C. “on June 28, 1914, a radical Serbian nationalist tossed a burning match by
assassinating Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of yet another
European superpower, the Austro-Hungarian empire of the Habsburg
monarchy.” (Paragraph 7)
D. “What followed was a massacre that lasted an interminable four years, three
months, and eventually brought into the maelstrom two million American
‘doughboys.’” (Paragraph 16)

where French, British and eventually, American soldiers were locked in a
remorseless trench warfare with von Schlieffen’s army.” (Paragraph 18)

sinking of four American ships by German submarines by abandoning the U.S.
policy of neutrality.” (Paragraph 21)

the U.S. as a threat.

launch an all-out, final offensive.

horrors of the war.

the first to fall to the Central Powers’ control.
C. The Schlieffen Plan forced Germany to fight on both sides, meaning that this

on.

war.
B. The United States was given a very large role in the Peace Conference even

How do you account for the rise of nativism
against the Irish?
please answer
Answer:
Following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in November 1917, the sense of an inevitable foreign or communist threat grew among those already predisposed to distrust immigrants. The sense of fear and anxiety over the rising tide of immigration came to a head with the trial of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti.
Explanation:
Disease of all kinds (including cholera, typhus, tuberculosis, and mental illness) resulted from these miserable living conditions. Irish immigrants sometimes faced hostility from other groups in the U.S., and were accused of spreading disease and blamed for the unsanitary conditions many lived in.

Answer:
Explanation:
Hitlers rise to power
The July 31, 1932, election produced a major victory for Hitler’s National Socialist Party. The party won 230 seats in the Reichstag, making it Germanys largest political party, but it still fell short of a majority in the 608-member body.
On the basis of that victory, Hitler demanded that President Hindenburg appoint him chancellor and place him in complete control of the state. Otto von Meissner, who worked for Hindenburg, later testified at Nuremberg,
Hindenburg replied that because of the tense situation he could not in good conscience risk transferring the power of government to a new party such as the National Socialists, which did not command a majority and which was intolerant, noisy and undisciplined.
Political deadlocks in the Reichstag soon brought a new election, this one in November 6, 1932. In that election, the Nazis lost two million votes and 34 seats. Thus, even though the National Socialist Party was still the largest political party, it had clearly lost ground among the voters.
Attempting to remedy the chaos and the deadlocks, Hindenburg fired Papen and appointed an army general named Kurt von Schleicher as the new German chancellor. Unable to secure a majority coalition in the Reichstag, however, Schleicher finally tendered his resignation to Hindenburg, 57 days after he had been appointed.
On January 30, 1933, President Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler chancellor of Germany. Although the National Socialists never captured more than 37 percent of the national vote, and even though they still held a minority of cabinet posts and fewer than 50 percent of the seats in the Reichstag, Hitler and the Nazis set out to to consolidate their power. With Hitler as chancellor, that proved to be a fairly easy task.
The Reichstag fire
On February 27, Hitler was enjoying supper at the Goebbels home when the telephone rang with an emergency message: The Reichstag is on fire! Hitler and Goebbels rushed to the fire, where they encountered Hermann Goering, who would later become Hitlers air minister. Goering was shouting at the top of his lungs,
This is the beginning of the Communist revolution! We must not wait a minute. We will show no mercy. Every Communist official must be shot, where he is found. Every Communist deputy must this very day be strung up.
The day after the fire, the Prussian government announced that it had found communist publications stating,
Government buildings, museums, mansions and essential plants were to be burned down… . Women and children were to be sent in front of terrorist groups…. The burning of the Reichstag was to be the signal for a bloody insurrection and civil war…. It has been ascertained that today was to have seen throughout Germany terrorist acts against individual persons, against private property, and against the life and limb of the peaceful population, and also the beginning of general civil war.
So how was Goering so certain that the fire had been set by communist terrorists? Arrested on the spot was a Dutch communist named Marinus van der Lubbe. Most historians now believe that van der Lubbe was actually duped by the Nazis into setting the fire and probably was even assisted by them, without his realizing it.
Why would Hitler and his associates turn a blind eye to an impending terrorist attack on their national congressional building or actually assist with such a horrific deed? Because they knew what government officials have known throughout history that during extreme national emergencies, people are most scared and thus much more willing to surrender their liberties in return for security. And that’s exactly what happened during the Reichstag terrorist crisis.
Suspending civil liberties
The day after the fire, Hitler persuaded President Hindenburg to issue a decree entitled, For the Protection of the People and the State. Justified as a defensive measure against Communist acts of violence endangering the state, the decree suspended the constitutional guarantees pertaining to civil liberties:
Restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press; on the rights of assembly and association; and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications; and warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.

development of the Harlem Renaissance? *
1.The emancipation of enslaved African Americans
2.African American participation in World War I
3.African Americans obtaining the right to vote
4.The Great Depression
Answer:
2. African American participation in World War I
Explanation:
In the passage, the speaker describes how the "defeat of the kaiser" boosted spirits and raised optimism, and the kaiser was the leader of Germany during WWI.
The Harlem Renaissance arose from the changes that had occurred in the African-American community after slavery's abolition, such as the development of communities in the North.
What was the involvement of African-Americans in World War I?African American artists, performers, and writers were at the forefront of the fight against intellectual and creative racism. Between the wars, and even amid the hardships of the Significant Depression, there was a great surge of African American cultural expression known as the "Harlem Renaissance."
Paintings, paintings, classical music, jazz, blues, poetry, books, plays, and dance were all popular during this time period and received international renown. However, artistic and intellectual excellence did not result in blacks achieving political, economic, and educational equality with whites. Racism remained a potent influence in American society.
Thus, Option 2 is the correct event that influenced the development of the Harlem Renaissance.

This policy is which of the following:Group of answer choicesinconsistent with Madison's proposed national veto over objectionable state lawsunconstitutional pursuant to the Fourteenth Amendmentan ineffective solution to an unsolvable problemperfectly consistent with Madison's proposed national veto over objectionable state laws
Answer: perfectly consistent with Madison's proposed national veto over objectionable state laws
Explanation:
James Madison believed that the Federal Government through Congress, should have the right to veto objectionable state laws so that states would not get away with doing whatever they want in areas the Constitution was lacking.
The action by the 1965 Voting Rights Act described above is in line with this veto suggestion because it was passed mainly with the Southern States as these states had been limiting the rights of Black people to vote through some state legislature and intimidation. Justice officers being allowed to go into communities to register voters was to counteract this.
