What were two reasons that Britain was opposed to the Soviet Union's occupation of Poland after World War II?

Answers

Answer:

Britain was against communism, and the Soviet Union in Poland made the country a communist one. As well, they were losing trade with the country due to Soviet intervention in trades.

The two main reasons that Great Britain was opposed to the Soviet Union's occupation of Poland after World War II was...

If Poland was taken by the Soviet Union, trade would be harder to accomplish.If Poland was taken by the Soviet Union, that would mean they would be under communist control.

Poland was essentially a political country during World War II, whoever had control of Poland was seen to be winning politically. Great Britain, along with other countries like the United States, wanted to prevent and stop the spread of communism at all costs. They wanted to protect Poland and make sure it did not fall under communist control.

When Germany invaded Poland, Great Britain was quick to go to war with Germany and try to stop Poland from falling to another country. Germany had signed a nonaggression pact with the Soviet Union, which only made matters worse.

All of the above are examples as they show the influence that a people had on another people. The Chinese and their tea and porcelain vases became very popular in Europe which means that Europeans indulged in Chinese culture.

And the end of the Japanese Samurai era when they saw Western equipment was also an example of culture blending as one group (Japan) was affected by another group (Europeans).

¿Qué cambios crees que se dieron en la vida de México desde el modelo exportador hasta los años sesenta?

Answers

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

A pesar de que que no hay opciones ni incisos para responder, podemos comentar lo siguiente.

Los cambios que se dieron en la vida de México desde el modelo exportador hasta los años sesenta, fueron que los presidentes subsecuentes comenzaron a centralizar cada vez más la economía mexicana, lo cual derivó en un proteccionismo estatal notorio en la época del Presidente Luis Echeverría Álvarez (1970-1976) y con el Presidente José López Portillo (1976-1982).

Esos cambios políticos y económicos hicieron que el gobierno de México comprara una gran cantidad de empresas para estatizarlas. El resultado fue que la burocracia mexicana se infló a tal grado que esas empresas comenzaron a ser inoperantes y inefectivas, perjudicando el rendimiento económico del país.

Incluso, ante la crisis del final de su sexenio, el Presidente López Portillo tomó la decisión de nacionalizar los bancos.

explorers, because parts of the country were still unknown.

farmers, because there was great potential for growing crops.

business owners, because it consisted of urban developments.

Answers

Answer:

C. Farmers, because there was great potential for growing crops.

Explanation:

The Economic Crisis of the 1780s

In the late 1780s, the land in the northwest was allocated to farmers because it had better agricultural potential.

Farmers suffered significantly due to the thefts of troops. Farmers were required to borrow money that they were unable to repay. The legislatures then enacted measures to assist farmers with lenient repayment conditions. The new laws infuriated the lenders since they had anticipated payment from the debtors.

Many farmers were imprisoned for not repaying their debts. Although the United States emerged victorious from the Revolutionary War, its economy was in grave difficulties. Land was provided to farmers to cultivate crops and stabilize the economy.

What is true of the new left is that it was a political movement.

The students of the new left movement thought that one thing that was missing in American liberalism in the 1960s was the practice of true participatory democracy.

In a time of so many changes in the United States, the 1960s, represented the "window" for many students from Universities to express themselves. They created movements such as the "New Left," in which students tried to honestly support democracy, civil rights, feminism, and political rights, among others. One of these groups was the Students for a Democratic Society.

What do you believe would be an appropriate course of action regarding
Native American lands as the United States expands westward?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What do you believe would be an appropriate course of action regarding

Native American lands as the United States expands westward?

An appropriate course of action regarding Native American lands as the United States expands westward could have been a better will to dialogue and negotiate with the many Native American Indian tribes that lived in the region. That would have shown respect and tolerance on the part of the US federal government,

However, something different happened.

The Westward Expansion devastated the Native American Indians. The expansion removed the Indians from their original territories. White settlers started to occupy their territories under the protection of new legislation passed in the United States Congress. Farmers and miners settled in the Plains took the Indian's lands away and hurt Indians because they could not hunt animals in their former territories.

Indians tried to react and defend themselves by attacking the white settlers' homes, and wagons but their actions were limited.

Andrew Jackson encouraged westward expansion and settlement by supporting the Indian Removal Act

On May 28, 1830, United States President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act.
