The Maine is known for its catastrophic loss in the Port of Havana on the morning of February 15, 1898. It was sent to protect the interests of American citizens during the Cuban revolts against Spain. It exploded suddenly, without warning, losing the life in the explosion three quarters of its crew. The causes of the explosion were not clear in a commission of inquiry, but the American public, fueled by the incendiary proclamations of the US tabloid press made by William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, blamed Spain.

It has been 120 years since the sinking of the Maine and still many wonder what really happened. The hypotheses remain the same: a mine placed by Cuban patriots who wanted to provoke an American intervention; agents of the Spanish government who tried to teach a lesson to the newborn northern imperialism; an accident caused by the use of highly volatile bituminous coal in boilers too close to the ammunition store; and that the United States itself caused the explosion to have a pretext that would allow them to invade the island militarily.

Which of these hypotheses approaches the truth? Will we know someday? Probably not. Maybe it does not even matter. In the Cemetery of Arlington they rest, under the recovered main mast of the ship, the victims of that unfortunate event. In Havana, facing the sea that guards the burned remains of the Maine, a soulless monument awaits for its just and definitive consecration.

Alisiya [41]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options for this question, we can comment on the following.

Indeed, despite societal mores that demanded separation of the races, "white slumming" (whites intermingling with blacks in black nightclubs) was common during the Jazz Age.

This cross-class socializing did not transfer to broader society because white people only intermingled with African Americans in those moments, enjoying the musical talent of black people. And that's it. Whites were never interested in strengthening their relationships with blacks. Jus saw black people as an artist, to have a good time and have fun in the clubs, with no intention to initiate a friendship.

For whites, was as simple as "I pay for the show, have a good time, establish the necessary contact to interact, and that's it." Segregation still existed under the Jim Crow laws and the black codes.

The Jazz Age occurred during the decade of the 1920s. It was a movement in the United States after World War I. From that movement, a new musical genre called Jazz emerged. African Americans created this new style of music that used the radio to spread the music to all kinds of audiences during the 1920s. Among the famous Jazz musicians of the Jazz Age, we find Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington.

How did the process of decolonization in belize similar to that in my Macau
Pavlova-9 [17]
The correct answer is that their processes were lengthy unlike many other colonies where a swift revolution ended it all. For example, Belize fought for its independence for over 20 years, and it ended with the UN asking for independence. Macau had 4 talks over 10 years regarding its transfer of sovereignty from the Portuguese government and it ended successfully.

how did winston churchill use his eloquence to lead his country(please dont look it up on the internet)
givi [52]
Churchill was a remarkable man who was an expert in the use of the English language. By clever use of words he was able to inspire the population, inspire and motivate them. The one that is probably most remembered is the one about fighting on the beaches:
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
Others include
I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this Government: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."
The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the World War by their prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. All hearts go out to the fighter pilots, whose brilliant actions we see with our own eyes day after day, but we must never forget that all the time, night after night, month after month, our bomber squadrons travel far into Germany, find their targets in the darkness by the highest navigational skill, aim their attacks, often under the heaviest fire, often with serious loss, with deliberate, careful discrimination, and inflict shattering blows upon the whole of the technical and war-making structure of the Nazi power. On no part of the Royal Air Force does the weight of the war fall more heavily than on the daylight bombers who will play an invaluable part in the case of invasion and whose unflinching zeal it has been necessary in the meanwhile on numerous occasions to restrain…
There are many, many more such examples and through Churchill's inspiration the British people and their allies persevered and won through.
