a. The trend shown is a representation of the Great Migration, where many African Americans left the Jim Crow South for the less discriminatory North/West. All of the places with large population loss are in the South and all of the states with large population gain are in the North/West (excluding Florida).b. One factor that led to the trend above was the wartime demand for industrial workers caused by WW1, encouraging many southern African Americans to migrate to northern cities for work. Another factor is the lesser discrimination in the North.c. One effect of the trend above is the Harlem Renaissance, where Harlem became the center of African-American literary, artistic, and political expression that was only made possible because of the large movement of African Americans to New York City.a. Because of the difficulties and uncertainty of World War II and the Great Depression, many people chose not to have children. Post World War II led to a great boost in the United States economy and the return of many soldiers from overseas, therefore creating a baby boom and high birth rates. b. One specific historical effect of the high birth rates on United States economy was the migration from urban areas to suburbs during 1946 to 1964. With this new baby boom, many people began to focus on a more family oriented lifestyle, moving to suburban areas and contributing to the demographic shifts of the time period such as the mass media and popular culture era emerging.c. One historical change in United States society from 1965 to 1980 was the beginning of the counterculture movement in the 60s and the baby boomer generation's part in it. Growing up in the 50s and 60s, the baby boom generation began to diverge from the views of their parents and the Nuclear family image. The counterculture movement was a reaction to the conservative views of the 1950s and led to a radical age of self expression, going against social norms, and standing up for one's beliefs.a. The point of view of the poster is to make the Japanese look as bad as possible to gain more support against them in WW2. The man is wearing a Japanese flag, attacking a woman with a knife, and looks almost monster-like with nails that look more like claws and barred teeth. On the bottom the poster states that "This is the enemy."b. One factor that led to this POV is the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. This attack on the US helped bring the country into WW2 on the side of the Allies, therefore making the Japanese their enemy and starting a need for propaganda, such as the one seen below, to get the people behind the war.c. One effect was the promotion of anti-Asian racism in America, as the poster clearly labels the Japanese as the enemy. This racism towards the Japanese led to the internment of all Japanese Americans despite the fact that they at no time posed a military or security threat to the US while German Americans were treated much differently despite both actively being in war against America.a. One development that led to the passage of New Deal legislation was the Great Depression and the tremendous economic and job loss it caused. The New Deal was passed to stimulate the economy and cut away at the large unemployment numbers.b. One effect of the New Deal legislation on the role of the federal government in the United States economy was that it expanded the government's role and the government assumed responsibility for the nation's economy and the welfare of its citizens. Through the New Deal, the government provided legal protection for labor unions, price stability for farmers, insurance for the elderly, and much more.c. One effect of the New Deal legislation on society is that it helped pull America out of the worst of the Great Depression by slowly increasing industrial production and greatly lowering unemployment. Many of the programs started to create jobs helped build infrastructure around the country, with an example being the PWA building many hospitals and educational buildings.a. The point of view of Kennan was one pushing for the containment of communism. Kennan believed that the communist Soviet Union was an evil rival to the United States, and that the only way to defeat them was to suppress their communist ideals and power for good.b. One cause of Kennan's point of view was the tensions arising between the United States and the Soviet Union following World War II. The Yalta Conference was a post war meeting that was supposed to align England, the United States, and the USSR's visions for new Europe; however, it instead highlighted the distrust between countries and set an early foundation for the Cold War.c. One effect of Kennan's point of view was the Marshall Plan. The United States sought to enforce their containment policy in Europe by aiding European Countries in rebuilding their economies and maintaining democratic governments following World War II. The United States wanted to stop Soviet influence and communism from spreading throughout Europe and to the rest of the world.a. Both the New Deal and Great Society programs made attempts from the government to improve the lives of the American people. Both were a continuation of the Keynesian economic policy and the Liberal Consensus, which focused on putting money into the hands of the consumer. b. One difference between the New Deal and Great Society programs was that the New Deal mostly focused on solving economic problems, while the Great Society programs focused more on social injustices during its respected time period. The New Deal wanted relief for the unemployed, recovery of the economy, and reform of the financial system following the Great Depression. The Great Society programs were a set of domestic policies that wanted to ensure an end to poverty and social injustice.c. One reason for a difference between the New Deal and the Great Society programs was the different time periods of the two. The New Deal occurred during the Great Depression, where the main issues in society were the failed economy and huge rates of unemployment. The Great Society programs occurred during the 60s, where social problems were coming to light and issues such as racism and crime became a bigger deal.a. One similarity between the goals of the Spanish and the English in establishing colonies was to promote their religion to other countries. While they both had other motives as well (such as economics to acquire wealth), both countries had the goal of spreading religion (the catholic Spanish and protestant English) to the new worlds.b. One important difference between the goals of the Spanish and English was that the Spanish mostly settled to acquire prestige and power for the Spanish crown while the English settled more privately to improve quality of life and achieve religious freedom. The Spanish were more interested in the glory of the Spanish crown and their colonization was all made with the main goal of providing power to the crown. Many English settled through joint stock companies, a more private way of colonization that did not rely on the funds of the government. Many English also left England to pursue religious freedom and make an ideal model of the church they hoped the official Church of England would emulate.c. One way in which the difference contributed to the development of Spanish and English colonial societies was that the Spanish had more royal authority over their colonies, while the English lived a life more separated from their mother country. The Spanish Conquistadors always answered to their queen, and they focused on building necessary trading networks and spreading Spanish catholicism to the indigenous peoples. The English focused more on their individual goals, and expelled indigenous peoples from their land to make more community-based colonies.a. The point of view of George HW Bush was that in support of a New World Order. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Bush pledged to work in support of world freedom, human rights, and peace among nations.b. One cause of this point of view was the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall. The reunification of Germany and the end to the long rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union opened up the new possibility of peace and prosperity and an end to conflicts around the world.c. One effect of this point of view was the Persian Gulf War. The United States entered the war to try and maintain peace in Kuwait. The invasion of Suddam Hussein into Kuwait disturbed Bush's vision for a New World Order, so the United States made sure to intervene and liberate Kuwait.a. The point of view of Herblock was that Nixon was drowning in the Watergate scandal of 1973. The Watergate scandal revealed that Nixon might have been involved in illegal affairs regarding his reelection, creating further problems for him in office and distrust from the American people.b. One cause of this point of view was Nixon's aggressive attempts at covering up his involvement in Watergate. Nixon's constant denial that he played a part despite evidence against him completely ruined his public support and left him with the inescapable choice of leaving office.c. An effect of the events depicted in the cartoon was Nixon's resignation from office. The Watergate scandal put Nixon in a difficult position where there was no way he could stay in office. Nixon chose to resign from his position before he could be impeached and removed by office by the Senate.a. The point of view of the poster is the government using propaganda techniques such as name-calling and fear to get people to enlist in the army and fight in WWI. By depicting a gorilla dressed as a German and calling it a "mad brute" it is trying to get Americans to feel the need to contribute to the war and defend against the "kultur" destroying wild Germans. b. The US entered WWI in 1917 in opposition to the Germans, so the government needed people to enlist in the army to fight in the war. Therefore the government started propaganda committees to push people to enlist while also keeping the nation united against the Germans, which was accomplished by dehumanizing the enemy (big, angry gorilla that's destroying culture and taking women).c. One effect of the poster's point of view is the shift in popular opinion from belief in isolationism and into belief in interventionism and stopping the spread of fascist aggression. In FDR's quarantine speech he calls for a quarantine of the disease of fascist aggression, a point of view similar to that of the posters which is calling for Americans to help stop the Germans, and portraying them as violent beasts who will ruin everything much like a disease.a. The point of view of Colin Calloway is a description of the impact the Columbian Exchange and the European colonization had on the New World. Once the Europeans arrived and began to colonize the New World, they changed the lives of the native people forever by bringing settlers, livestock, and other crops during the Columbian Exchange.b. One fact that would support Calloway's point of view was that once introduced by the Spanish, horses became a large part of native American culture and life. Horses revolutionized the natives' methods of transportation and hunting and became an integral piece of tribal culture, worship, and ceremony.c. One effect of the events described in the passage would be the impact European diseases had on the native population. With the other goods they brought overseas to the Americas, the Europeans also brought deadly diseases that the natives weren't immune to, resulting in the deaths of almost 90% of the population.blocking of trade with a certain countryThe practice of taking sailors from ships and forcing them into military service is known asWhy was the Louisiana Territory most important to France, the United States, and Spain?Qui est la Ministre de l'Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche ?Qui est la Ministre de l'Éducation nationale ?Qui est le Ministre de la Transition écologique et de la Cohésion des territoires ?Qui est le Ministre de l'intérieur et des Outre-mer ?quel est le concept qui est derrière l'illusion du train ?Qui est le Ministre de l'Agriculture et de la Souveraineté alimentaire ?
