Answer: Sandra Day O'Connor
Explanation:
Sandra Day O'Connor was the first female Supreme Court Justice, appointed in 1981, and although she had a conservative orientation, she upheld the legality of abortion.
Explanation:The first woman to sit on the US Supreme Court was Sandra Day O'Connor, an attorney from El Paso, Texas. She was appointed in 1981 by President Ronald Reagan, and her arrival on the Supreme Court was significant for several reasons. Although heralded as a groundbreaking achievement for women's representation on the highest court, her conservative leanings led to mixed expectations. Supporters of Reagan and the New Right hoped she would influence major legal decisions around topics such as abortion. Notably, the anticipation was that she might help overturn the landmark case Roe v. Wade. Despite these expectations, O'Connor upheld the legality of abortion in multiple cases during her tenure, though she did support increasing restrictions on the procedure.

How is Christopher Columbus, Ben Franklin, George Washington, Abraham lincoln "mythic" qualities,legendary types?
They all help us in the United States to be what it is today
Final answer:
Historical figures like Christopher Columbus, Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln have achieved mythic status in American culture, their stories embellished to reflect societal values of bravery, patriotism, and leadership. These myths play a key role in shaping American culture and values, changing over time to align with societal shifts. Myths serve to promote, teach, and pass down cultural ideals and narratives representing political culture.
Explanation:
Historical figures such as Christopher Columbus, Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln have taken on mythic qualities over time, becoming legends that reflect and reinforce the values of American society. These individuals embody characteristics like bravery, patriotism, and leadership that define the political culture of the United States. Their stories, while containing elements of truth, have often been embellished to highlight these virtues.
The legendary status of these figures is part of American folklore, and this process of myth-making is not restricted to the US; every nation constructs ideological foundations of myths for cohesion and identity. Figures like Washington chopping down his father's cherry tree promote values such as honesty and responsibility. Overtime, public perception of these heroes can change, reflecting shifts in societal values, as seen with the emergence of Indigenous Peoples' Day instead of Columbus Day.
Myths therefore serve as a kind of pseudo-sacred narrative, shaping culture and reflecting the values that society wishes to promote and pass down to future generations, much like how cultural stories and myths have been elaborated and constructed by people over time.

Why do southern states have so many military bases?
A. Because of their strategic location
B. Because of power in congressional committees
C. Because of a treaty that was drawn up at the end of the Civil War
D. Because public officials were bribed
Answer:
B. Because of power in congressional committees
Southern states have so many military bases because of power in congressional committees. Thus, option B is the correct option.
Due to their influence on congressional committees, southern states host a large number of military bases. A military base is a building that is directly owned and run by or for the military or one of its branches, houses military people and equipment and aids in operations and training. A military base will always house one or more troops, but it can also serve as a command post, a training area, or a test site. Military outposts typically rely on outside assistance to function.
The ability to produce food, water, and other essentials for their population while under attack allows some sophisticated bases to survive on their own for extended periods of time. Military air bases, or simply "air bases," are facilities for military aviation. Naval bases are bases for military ships.

Analyze how the Civil Rights Movement inspired other groups- women, Native Americans, and Hispanics to advocate for their rights.
Answer:
the civil right movement for African Americans was the first example of a minority standing up for themselves and demanding equality and rights. They led the charge against prejudice and showed that justice can be done when people come together for a common cause. Other minority groups saw this and realized they could do the same thing and became inspired. After the Civil Rights Movement started others began demanding equal rights as well, so women, native Americans, and Hispanics all began to fight for equality after being inspired by the actions and accomplishments of the Civil Rights Movement.

For each label determine whether it describes the independence movement in Ghana, Kenya, or both
-led by kwame Nkrumah
-led by Jomo kenyatta
-peaceful transition of power
-independent after 1945
-violent mau mau rebellion led to independence
-former British colony
Answer:
Ghana independence movement:
-Led by Kwame Nkrumah
-Peaceful transition of power
-Independent after 1945
-Former British colony
Kenya independence movement:
-Led by Jomo Kenyatta
-Violent Mau Mau rebellion led to independence
-Independent after 1945
-Former British colony
Explanation:
-Since 1874, Ghana had been a colony of Great Britain.
The architect of Ghana's independence was the precursor of pan-Africanism Kwame N'Krumah, who in 1949 organized the People's Convention Party, to demand profound reforms in favor of the population. But by opposing the 1951 Constitution, he was imprisoned along with his collaborators.
On February 8, 1951 the first elections in the history of Ghana took place and the party of Nkrumah triumphed, who was released on February 12 of that year. The reason for these elections were popular protests against the British Empire, which spread throughout the country until finally achieving independence in 1957.
-The British established its colony in current Kenya in 1888. Following the model of South Africa, in 1915 the British colonial administration imposed the obligation on all blacks over fifteen years of age to wear a permanent certificate on their necks to prove their identity and use. In 1920, the governor raised the per capita tax to force the Kikuyu to join the settlers as agricultural workers and thus be able to pay. However, when in 1921 the settlers reduced the wages of indigenous workers by a third, demonstrations and strikes broke out. On March 16, 57 demonstrators were shot dead and leaders of nationalist associations were arrested and deported.
From October 1952 until December 1959, Kenya remained in a latent state of emergency as a result of the rebellion against British rule. The war left 100,000 dead and 320,000 prisoners.
The first direct elections of Africans to the Legislative Council took place in 1957. Despite British hopes of giving the nation a "moderate" African leadership, it was the Kenya African National Union of Jomo Kenyatta the political force that formed the first government after the independence of Kenya on December 12, 1963. Kenyatta became the country's top leader at first as prime minister and, as of 1964 , when Kenya became a republic, as the first president of the Republic.
What was significant about the battle of bunker hill?
Answer:
On June 17, 1775, early in the Revolutionary War (1775-83), the British defeated the Americans at the Battle of Bunker Hill in Massachusetts. Despite their loss, the inexperienced colonial forces inflicted significant casualties against the enemy, and the battle provided them with an important confidence boost.
The Battle of Bunker Hill, or Breed's Hill, was significant as it boosted American confidence and resulted in heavy casualties for the British. It also led to the removal of General Gage from command.
Explanation:The Battle of Bunker Hill, which should actually be called the Battle of Breed's Hill, was significant because it demonstrated to the Americans that they could stand and face one of the best armies in the world. Despite losing the battle, the American forces gained confidence while the British suffered heavy casualties and were shaken in their confidence. The battle also led to the removal of General Gage from command and marked a turning point in the American Revolution.

Although almost every country in the world was part of a peace treaty or pact in 1928 what made the treaties weak?
Answer:
The Kellogg-Briand Pact, also known as the Pact of Paris, was a treaty that attempted to outlaw war (46 Stat. 2343, T.S. No. 796, 94 L.N.T.S. 57). The treaty was drafted by France and the United States, and on August 27, 1928, was signed by fifteen nations. By 1933 sixty-five nations had pledged to observe its provisions.
Explanation:
The peace treaties of the 1920s were weak because they lacked enforcement mechanisms, imposed punitive conditions on Germany, and were undermined by national grievances and economic instability.
First, agreements like the Kellogg-Briand Pact, while noble in intent, had no enforcement mechanism and no repercussions for those who violated its terms. The Washington Naval Conference and the Four Power Treaty aimed to reduce naval armaments and territorial expansion, respectively, but they also lacked strict enforcement provisions. Additionally, the Treaty of Versailles imposed punitive reparations and territorial losses on Germany, breeding resentment and economic instability that undermined peace efforts. The geopolitical context further complicated matters, with competing ideologies, economic interests, and national grievances threatening the fragile international order. These factors collectively contributed to the weaknesses of international peace agreements in the interwar period.

a. the united states had a capitalist system while the soviet union had communist system with central planning.
b. stalin felt the soviet union had the right to establish a "sphere of influence" in eastern europe.
c. stalin resented the fact that the western allies had delayed the invasion of france during the war.
d. truman failed to share the secrets of the atomic bomb at the potsdam conference?
Answer:
a. the United States had a capitalist system while the Soviet Union had communist system with central planning
Explanation:
The Cold War on European soil was largely because of economic reason. Western Europe was under the influence and to a certain degree under the control of the United States, and they all wanted capitalist systems. Their goal was to make all the economies open, so that there's a free movement of capital through them without any problem, with the private ownership being the one that have the main say in the economy. The Soviet Union and its allies had different politics though. They wanted and practiced communism, so they wanted to spread the central planning, thus the command economy type, and all the countries to be self-sustaining, with the government being the only economic power in the country.
An economic cause of the Cold War was the contrasting capitalist system of the US and the communist system of the USSR, leading to competing ideologies and economic policies.
These opposed economic systems reflected broader geopolitical struggles, with the US favoring private ownership and market freedom, and the USSR endorsing communal ownership, aiming for protection and security through the spread of communism. This fundamental economic disparity contributed to the fear of communism's appeal in post-war Europe, influencing the US to provide economic aid as a countermeasure, while the Soviet Union sought to establish a buffer zone of friendly communist states.
World War 2
What advantages did Germany have at the start of the war?
What two decisions likely saved the British from defeat, first at Dunkirk and later in the Battle of Britain?
Answer:
History.com Editors
In the summer and fall of 1940, German and British air forces clashed in the skies over the United Kingdom, locked in the largest sustained bombing campaign to that date. A significant turning point of World War II, the Battle of Britain ended when Germany’s Luftwaffe failed to gain air superiority over the Royal Air Force despite months of targeting Britain’s air bases, military posts and, ultimately, its civilian population. Britain’s decisive victory saved the country from a ground invasion and possible occupation by German forces while proving that air power alone could be used to win a major battle.
On June 17, 1940, the defeated French signed an armistice and quit World War II. Britain now stood alone against the power of Germany’s military forces, which had conquered most of Western Europe in less than two months. But Prime Minister Winston Churchill rallied his stubborn people and outmaneuvered those politicians who wanted to negotiate with Adolf Hitler. But Britain’s success in continuing the war would very much depend on the RAF Fighter Command’s ability to thwart the Luftwaffe’s efforts to gain air superiority. This then would be the first all-air battle in history.

In what way did the allies hold an advantage over the central powers?
The main advantages of the Allies over the Central Powers was that they had numbers on their side, and were surrounding them.
Germany and Italy were surrounded on pretty much all sides by the forces of the Allies, which at the end of the war turned to be crucial after they suffered defeats in some battles, and then were cornered. The Japanese too were surrounded on all sides by the forces of the Allies, not to mention that they were heavily outnumbered after the Allies organized properly, which again led to gradual winning of position, battle by battle, until the atomic bombs were used for speeding up the procesa and avoiding more casualties.
Answer:
The Allies had greater military strength and size.

Why is the civil war considered the first modern war?
It was considered the first modern war because it was the first war after the industrial revolution. More technology was invented and modern weapons were used. It was the war that transformed our country.
The Civil War is recognized as the first modern war due to the utilization and advancement of new technologies and strategies, such as railroads and telegraph for logistics and communication, ironclad warships for naval warfare, rifling in firearms for improved gunfire, and innovative methods in battlefield medical care and photography.
Explanation:The Civil War is considered the first modern war because of the implementation and advancement of new technologies and strategies that are now associated with modern warfare. Firstly, the use of railroads and the telegraph changed the logistics and communication during warfare. Railroads allowed for efficient mass transportation of supplies and soldiers and the telegraph enabled real-time communication over long distances.
Secondly, the Civil War introduced the use of ironclad warships and rifling in firearms, which drastically updated combat techniques. Ironclad warships marked a departure from wooden naval vessels, bringing in a new era of naval warfare. Rifling in firearms significantly improved the accuracy and range of gunfire.
Furthermore, novel methods in combat medical care and battlefield photography emerged during the Civil War, setting a precedent for modern wars. Despite all the devastation, the war spurred dramatic developments in technology and warfare tactics, solidifying its status as the first modern war.

What has been the MAIN reason for the high degree of tension between the United States and Iran in recent years?
Answer:
Nuclear power
Explanation:
In recent times, the United States and Iran have not had good relations at all, in fact their relations are mostly based around tensions and disagreements between the two. The main reason behind this is that the United States do not want Iran to develop nuclear power because it might use it for development of nuclear weapons as well. Iran on the other side is firmly standing on its development of nuclear power because it considers that every nations should have the right to do so, not only few to have that advantage. The United States have forced numerous sanctions on Iran because of this in order to damage its economy, so understandably Iran was not pleased at all.
