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.

Using four or more complete sentences, differentiate between nationalism and Islamism. Describe why these two concepts emerged a
anastassius [24]

Both, nationalism and Islamism, were ways that were used by the authorities of the newly formed countries for unification and strengthening the position of the nation, and the politicians as well.

Nationalism was based on ethnic level, and it was a way of creating despise, revolt, anger, towards the other nations. It was used as a unification method and for creating a nationalist core, and in this way the authorities were able to create a large mass of people that were willing to fight for their own nation, and had a deep hatred towards the other nations.

Islamism was based on religious level, and it was promoting unification on religious basis, but was also creating lots of hatred and aggression towards other religions. In this way, the authorities were trying to create a strong religious core in the country, but also brotherly alliances with the countries that practice the same religion.

Both, nationalism and Islamism were terrible towards the minorities, and the nationalist were killing and committing genocides on ethnic level, while the Islamist were doing the same but on religious level.

PART A: Which statement best describes King Leopold's ideas for the resources in the Congo?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:He saw the superiority of the African continent and a chance for Belgium to dominate world trade.

part a -

Explanation:

The Congo became part of Belgium's attempt to be a dominant country in Europe, and luckily, in the world. Acquired the Congo in 1884, Leopold had amassed a huge personal fortune from the exploitation of Congo's natural resources - at first thanks to the export of ivory, but it did not yield as much as expected. As global demand for rubber exploded, attention turned to the labor-intensive gathering of rubber from plant sap. This process of exploration was followed by violent practices with the natives, with extensive use of beatings, killings, and mutilations when production quotas were not reached.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

There is little doubt that the widespread use of the automobile, especially after 1920, changed the rural and urban landscapes in America. It is overly simplistic to assume, however, that the automobile was the single driving force in the transformation of the countryside or the modernization of cities. In some ways automobile transport was a crucial agent for change, but in other cases it merely accelerated ongoing changes.

In several respects, the automobile made its impact felt first in rural areas where cars were used for touring and recreation on the weekends as opposed to replacing existing transit that brought people to and from work in urban areas. Some of the earliest paved roads were landscaped parkways along scenic routes. Of course, rural people were not always very pleased when urban drivers rutted unpaved roads, kicked up dust, and generally frightened or even injured livestock. Yet, cars potentially could help confront rural problems—isolation, the high cost of transporting farm products, and the labor of farm work. Although farmers may have resisted the automobile at first, by the 1920s per capita automobile ownership favored the rural family. Adoption was uneven in rural areas, however, depending on income, availability of cars, the continuing reliance on horses, and other factors. Automobile manufacturers did not lose sight of this market and courted potential customers with advertisements touting that cars were “Built for Country Roads” or promoting vehicles that would lead to “The Passing of the Horse.”
