(BRAINLIEST QUESTION) Why did President Theodore Roosevelt feel that building the Panama Canal had become a military necessity for the United States?


Relations between the United States and Mexico had deteriorated and a canal would allow the US Navy to enforce a blockade of Mexico

The Panama Canal could be fortified and used as a defense against an invasion from South America into Central America.

The US acquisition of Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico meant the US Navy would need to defend territories in both oceans.

There were no shipyards on the west coast of the United States, so the canal was needed to move warships to the Pacific Ocean.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The US acquisition of Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico meant the US Navy would need to defend territories in both oceans.

Explanation:

The United States was a huge country with coastlines on both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans and then as a result of the Spanish American war, gained territories in the Pacific being Guam, Philippians and Hawaii as well as Puerto Rico in the Atlantic.

The US therefore needed a way to move their military resources from one coast to the other to defend these territories, coastlines and exert American control over both oceans. The solution was the Panama canal and so the US built it through Gun-boat diplomacy.

Answer 2

I agree with the other person, the correct answer is indeed C.

War 12

O People became resentful of the burdens the war placed on them.
O Banking systems failed when most people could not pay back loans.

Answers

Answer:

People became resentful of the burdens the war placed on them.

Explanation:

Following the end of world war 1 in 1918, the Europeans who were the major players in the war felt its negative impact the most. The major effect that economic inequality had on European countries after World war 1 is that "People became resentful of the burdens the war placed on them."

This is because economic inequality has to do with people in a particular place been fully entrenched in poverty with the tiny likelihood of rising above it.

Hence, the "People became resentful of the burdens the war placed on them" as there were economic downturn, job loss, many industries were affected, some governments got destroyed, many soldiers and their families felt the direct impact as they recorded death and disabled casualties with little or no chance of earning money to survive.

What are the five main ideas of Wilson's 14 points? How well did Wilson's 14 points do in the Treaty of Versailles? What will be the ultimate outcome of the treaty?

Answers

Answer: Formation of the League of Nations, decolonization, removal of all economic barriers, the public conclusion of peace treaties, and the reduction of national armaments.

Explanation:

These were elementary fragments of the 14-point agreement. President Wilson and his associates sought to implement the above points. Yet, they were not successful in these endeavors. The countries that won the war were focused on collecting war reparations. So Wilson withdrew from the negotiations but was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. Germany was declared the main culprit for the war. All the colonies were taken from Germany and had to pay huge war damages. Such conditions of peace will contribute to the strengthening of extreme nationalism in Germany and help Hitler come to power.

What is Spartan military?

Soldiers were prepared for life as hoplites, or heavily armed foot soldiers. The Spartan army was famous for their skill in land combat. Sparta fought its neighbors as well as opponents from abroad. However, Sparta did join forces with Athens in 480 BCE to prevent the Persian king Xerxes from annexing Greece.

Due to their strict military discipline and intense military training, the Spartans were skilled at fighting in a phalanx formation in the traditional Greek fashion. In what is referred to as a "phalanx," or compact, deep arrangement, the army executed synchronized mass maneuvers as a unit.

Due to their legendary fighting prowess, the Spartans were able to hold their own against armies that were several times their size.

Thus, option D is correct.

Whatever the court decides on an issue, their decision is ______ and can only be changed by another court ruling.

Answers

Answer:

Final.

Explanation:

Judicial power can be defined as the power given to the courts to act and pronounce judgment on a case after making a decision with respect to the parties that brought the case for litigation.

Whatever the court decides on an issue, their decision is final and can only be changed by another court ruling.

This ultimately implies that, when a judge presiding over a court of competent jurisdiction gives a verdict or judgment on a case, his or her decision is final and can only be upturned by a higher court such as a court of appeal (appellate court) and supreme court.

An appellate court is also known as court of appeals and can be defined as a court of law of the judicial system that is empowered by law (jurisdiction) and saddled with the responsibility of hearing and reviewing an appeal of a trial-court or other lower court (tribunal).

A supreme court refers to a federal court and it is typically the highest court in relation to the hierarchy of courts in the judicial branch. The appellate jurisdiction of the supreme court simply means that, it has the ability to hear a case on appeal brought by a court of original jurisdiction such as cases relating to federal laws or the constitution.

Answers

Answer:

C. Saudi Arabia.

Explanation:

Saudi Arabia is a monarchical country where all the powers are vested in the hands of the king. It does not have a people's government rather the king is the legislative, executive and judicial head of the country.

Saudi Arabia does not hold national elections and so there are no political parties. The government rests in the hands of the king. Municipal elections are held often but only men were allowed to vote. However, in a recent historical development, women were allowed to vote for the first time in 2015.

Therefore, Ramzahn lives in Saudi Arabia where the king is the head of the country, has no political parties and only men could vote until women were allowed for the first time in 2015.

Was Andrew Jackson a great president? Opinions are mixed. What is yours? Consider the words that Jackson biographer James Parton wrote in 1859:

"Andrew Jackson, I am given to understand, was a patriot and a traitor. He was one of the greatest of generals, and wholly ignorant of the art of war... He was the most candid of men, and was capable of the profoundest dissimulation... A democratic autocrat [dictator]. An urbane [sophisticated] savage. An atrocious [awful] saint."

Now write a well-constructed essay (two paragraphs) of your own about the quality of the Jackson presidency. Be sure to start with a clear thesis statement and then give specific examples of events and issues to support your position.

Answers

Answer:

Yes he was a great president (not as good as George Washington though)

Explanation:

Jackson become a hero for defeating the British Army at New Orleans, that is what made him such a good president, he was also a general for the United States Army and then In January of 1832, while the President was dining with friends at the White House, someone whispered to him that the Senate had rejected the nomination of Martin Van Buren as Minister to England. Jackson jumped to his feet and exclaimed, “By the Eternal! I’ll smash them!” So he did. His favorite, Van Buren, became Vice President, and succeeded to the Presidency when “Old Hickory” retired to the Hermitage, where he died in June 1845.

Answer:

I believe that he was because it overcomes his negative effects as president.

Explanation:

    I believe that he was because it overcomes his negative effects as president. Yes, he was a traitor and a dictator which I do not stand for. However, he did so much good at the same time. He was the only President to be a veteran in the Revolutionary War and War of 1812. He was a President that remained committed to this nation and protected the common man and common welfare of the common man. He did enslave people but many President's at the time did that too. For example, George Washington owned/inherited slaves as well. In the 1800s, slavery was still in existence and people had yet to learn that it was wrong. It took many movements and reformations when Christianity played a massive role to eliminate slavery and establish equality.

   Andrew Jackson also had some remarkable effects on our economy such as erasing the U.S. economy's debt entirely. He used his commanding presence, strong mindedness, good willpower, and a personality that ultimately showed a reflection of his decisiveness and strength not only as a President but as a person. He grew very popular and became known as the people's President by putting an end to the Second Bank and founding the Democratic Party. Unlike many Federalists, he supported individual rights and liberties and in the pursuit of happiness. He also negotiated in the trade agreement with Great Britain which opened American trade with Canada and the British West Indies. Even though President Jackson owned slaves and tried to veto a bill, without him, our nation would have still been in enormous debt, trade would be limited, the outcomes of the wars would have been different, and we wouldn't have a Democratic Party.
