Lincoln that slavery, or more precisely, the liberation of million of slaves, became the main motive of the war.

C the pharaoh had religious authority to rule through the chief god (the sun god), Amon-Re
OD the trip to the Egyptian afterlife was an easy trip guaranteed for all souls
Answer:

Option A is incorrect because the Egyptians did believe that people needed to be buried with everything they would need for eternity in the afterlife, including possessions and even servants.

Why was important the arms race
Answer: To achieve military domination on a global scale.
Explanation:
With the end of World War II, tensions between the united states and the Soviet Union increased. This event in history is known as the Cold War. Many factors characterize the Cold War. One of the main features is the armament race between these two superpowers.
In this sense, the importance of this fact lies in the effort to highlight one of the two forces as the most dominant in the military mind. To this end, the Soviet Union and the United States have spent billions of dollars on new military innovations and technologies.
what was a reaction that senator mccarthy's speech inspired among many americans?
A. satisfaction that americans would continue to fight communism abroad
B. anger over human rights violations that communiss were committing in other countries
C. support for existing policies to address communism in the united states
D. fear of the spread of communism inside the united states
Final answer:
Senator McCarthy's speech primarily inspired D. fear of the spread of communism within the United States, as Americans became suspicious and hesitant to speak out against the government and were willing to sacrifice civil liberties to combat perceived Communist influences.
Explanation:
Senator Joseph McCarthy's speech inspired a range of reactions among Americans, reflecting the tensions of the era. The most accurate response to the student's question is that it inspired fear of the spread of communism inside the United States. These actions, coupled with later efforts that made it illegal in many states to advocate the violent overthrow of the government, created a climate where people were fearful and hesitant to speak out, lest they be accused of Communist sympathies.
Due to McCarthy's efforts, and the support he garnered from influential Republicans like Senator Robert Taft and Congressman Richard Nixon, many American citizens were willing to sacrifice basic civil liberties in the quest to root out communism. This led to an era where civil rights leaders, amongst others, were charged with disloyalty, and dissent was often conflated with disloyalty in the public imagination. Campaigns such as McCarthyism discouraged the sponsorship of progressive legislation and contributed to an era of consensus that avoided 'un-American' questioning of Cold War policies.

The Soviet army looked ineffective as casualties mounted.
The mujahedin received military aid from the United States.
Soviet bombing caused a refugee crisis in nearby Pakistan.
The war drained resources needed in the Soviet homeland.
Answer:
Right choice:
The war drained resources needed in the Soviet homeland.
Explanation:
The Soviet Army had to fight a long guerrilla war in Afghanistan for which their soldiers and command were not well prepared in terms of training and military strategic thinking, nor in terms of economic strength. The invasion took place in 1979. By then, the Soviet economy was already stagnated, it lagged behind the West technologically and the command economy was uncapable of generating wealth efficiently. The cost of fighting this war with its own army - Afghanistan was the Soviet Vietnam -, the financial burden of supplying allies in the proxy wars of the Third World, and the huge cost of the nuclear race with the USA, drained too many resources of a stagnant economy.

What are two things the First Reconstruction Act provided for?
It set about abolishing Southern state governments.
It split the South into five separate military districts.
It restored a number of former Confederates to power.
It took land away from whites and gave it to blacks.
The two things that First Reconstruction Act provides for is that it abolishes Southern state government and splits South into five Separate military districts.
Answer : Option A and B
Explanation:
The First Reconstruction Act provides for the abolishment of Southern state government which reintegrated the Southern state and millions of slaves from the confederacy. It reversed the changes brought in by the radical reconstruction in a blink of violent backlash.
The Reconstruction Act was passed in 1867, restoring the white supremacy in less than a decade from the enactment. It temporarily divided the South into 5 military districts with Radical Reconstruction in regard. As a result, republicans became more of conservative-ness and less of egalitarian attitude.
Answer: RECONSTRUCTION : refers to the period following the Civil War of rebuilding the United States. It was a time of great pain and endless questions. On what terms would the Confederacy be allowed back into the Union? Who would establish the terms, Congress or the President? What was to be the place of freed blacks in the South? Did Abolition mean that black men would now enjoy the same status as white men? What was to be done with the Confederate leaders, who were seen as traitors by many in the North?
Answers would be options B and/or A.
Although, The military conflict had ended, Reconstruction was in many ways still a war. This important struggle was waged by radical northerners who wanted to punish the South and Southerners who desperately wanted to preserve their way of life.
Slavery, in practical terms, died with the end of the Civil War. Three Constitutional amendments altered the nature of African-American rights. The THIRTEENTH AMENDMENT formally abolished slavery in all states and territories. The FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT prohibited states from depriving any male citizen of equal protection under the law, regardless of race. The FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT granted the right to vote to African-American males. Ratification of these amendments became a requirement for Southern states to be readmitted into the Union. Although these measures were positive steps toward racial equality, their enforcement proved extremely difficult.

what did james madison do
Final answer:
James Madison, known as the 'Father of the Constitution', contributed significantly to the US government structure, authored the Virginia Plan, wrote a large portion of The Federalist Papers, and framed the Bill of Rights. As President, he led the nation through the War of 1812 and enacted the Nonintercourse Act in response to international trade conflicts.
Explanation:
James Madison played a significant role in the forming of the United States government as both a key architect of the Constitution and as the fourth President of the United States.
During the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention, he proposed the Virginia Plan, which explained the structure of a bicameral legislature and supported the idea of checks and balances between the branches of government inspired by Montesquieu. He also contributed to the promotion of the Constitution by authoring over a third of The Federalist Papers and helped to draft the Bill of Rights.
After serving as Secretary of State under Thomas Jefferson, Madison became President during a tumultuous time that led to the War of 1812 against Great Britain. Facing international conflict with France and Britain, who were inflicting damage on American interests, Madison's presidency began with the Nonintercourse Act, intending to continue trading with nations other than France and Britain, though it was not much more effective than the preceding Embargo Act at relieving economic hardship.

The success of women in the west in gaining voting rights first in the United States most supports the idea of:
The early success of women in gaining voting rights in the U.S. western states primarily supports the ideas of feminism, regional autonomy, and social climate change.
Explanation:The success of women in the west in gaining voting rights first in the United States most supports the idea of feminism and social climate change. The western states were first to grant women's suffrage, predating the 19th Amendment, which extended the right to vote to all women in the United States in 1920. This early success in the west indicates a more progressive social climate towards gender equality. This progress was largely influenced by the feminist movement and the active role that women had in the western settlement which significantly contributed to shaping its unique social climate.
It could also be viewed as a case of regional autonomy, as the varying states within the country have the power to enact laws and rights depending on their specific social context and public opinion, which can lead to some regions advancing faster in certain social norms, such as gender equality.

How did the Italian King respond to allied bombing of Sicily?
Answer:
I believe it resulted in world war II
Final answer:
The Italian King took action against Mussolini after the Allied bombing of Sicily, resulting in Mussolini's dismissal and arrest, a new government under Marshal Pietro Badoglio, Italy's surrender to the Allies, and a switch in sides in the war.
Explanation:
The Italian King responded to the Allied bombing of Sicily by taking decisive action against Mussolini. Following the debacles Mussolini led Italy through during World War II, including severe troop casualties during the invasion of the Soviet Union and military setbacks in North Africa and Sicily, the King participated in a coalition that decided Mussolini must be removed from power. The Grand Fascist Council met on July 24, 1943, and voted to dismiss Mussolini, leading to his arrest. Marshal Pietro Badoglio formed a new government and initiated secret negotiations with the Allies, which eventually led to Italy's surrender on September 8, 1943, after the Allies invaded mainland Italy. The Italian king's actions to oust Mussolini and the subsequent surrender to the Allies marked a significant point in the Italian Campaign of World War II, effectively leading to the country switching sides.

Compare the strengths and weaknesses of the Union and the Confederacy at the start of the Civil War. Focus on economic and military issue.
You MUST use complete sentences.
does anyone have these answers???
The Union had several strengths and weaknesses at the start of the Civil War, particularly in economic and military terms. Economically, the Union had a larger industrial base, which allowed for the mass production of war materials such as weapons, ammunition, and uniforms. The Union also had a more extensive railroad network, facilitating the movement of troops and supplies. Additionally, the Union had a significantly larger population, which provided a larger pool of potential soldiers and workers to support the war effort. However, the Union's weaknesses included the challenge of having to invade and conquer a large and hostile territory, as well as the initial lack of experienced military leaders.
The Confederacy, on the other hand, had its own set of economic and military strengths and weaknesses. One of the main economic strengths was the South's dominance in the production of cotton, which was a valuable commodity for trade, especially with European nations. The Confederacy also had the advantage of fighting a defensive war on familiar terrain, which could be used to their advantage in battles. However, the Confederacy's economy was heavily reliant on agriculture and had a much smaller industrial base compared to the North, leading to difficulties in producing the necessary war materials. The South also had a smaller population and fewer railroads, which hindered its ability to move troops and supplies efficiently. Furthermore, the Confederacy faced significant challenges in terms of gaining international recognition and securing foreign aid.
In summary, while the Union had a stronger economic base for waging war and a larger population to draw from, the Confederacy had to rely on its agricultural economy, familiarity with the terrain, and the potential for international trade and support. Both sides had to overcome significant military challenges, with the Union needing to develop effective leadership and strategy for offense, and the Confederacy needing to compensate for its limited industrial capacity and smaller population base while on the defense.
