DBQ: What were the causes of westward expansion and what effect did westward expansion have on the United States?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the first English settlers arrived at Jamestown in 1607, the story of America has been one of movement westward. As more and more Europeans came to our shores, colonists spread further and further into what was called the frontier, which is defined as an area of unsettled land. We know, however, that America was already inhabited by Natives whose ancestors had arrived thousands of years earlier. Conflicts over land ownership, religion, and culture, combined with broken promises by the U.S. government, moved the Indian population away from their homeland. The presidency of Andrew Jackson forced the removal of the tribes of the Southeast on the “Trail of Tears” to what is now Oklahoma. In the period following the Civil War, many people moved west for new opportunities and a new life. This would mean more clashes—this time with Plains Indians. Although America had changed much in the 250 years since the first settlers arrived, the attitude toward Native Americans had not. The building of the transcontinental rail road was the beginning of the end for many proud tribes of the West.

In the mid-19th century, the quest for control of the West led to the annexation of Texas and the Mexican–American War. President James Polk’s administration (1845–1849) was a period of intensive expansion for the United States. After overseeing the final details regarding the annexation of Texas from Mexico, Polk negotiated a peaceful settlement with Britain regarding ownership of the Oregon Country, which delivered to the United States what are now Washington and Oregon.

The acquisition of additional lands from Mexico, a country many in the United States perceived as weak and inferior, was not so bloodless and culminated in the Mexican–American War. After U.S. victory, the Mexican Cession added nearly half of Mexico’s territory to the United States, including New Mexico and California, and established the U.S.–Mexico border at the Rio Grande. The California Gold Rush of 1849 rapidly expanded the population of the new territory, while also prompting concerns over immigration, especially from China.

Efforts to seize western territories from native peoples and expand the republic by warring with Mexico succeeded beyond expectations; few nations had ever expanded so quickly. However, this expansion led to debates about the fate of slavery in the West. Increasingly, the South came to regard itself as under attack by radical northern abolitionists, and many northerners began to speak ominously of a southern drive to dominate U.S. politics for the purpose of protecting slaveholders’ human property. As tensions mounted and both sides hurled accusations, national unity frayed. Compromise became nearly impossible and antagonistic sectional rivalries replaced the idea of a unified, democratic republic. Tensions between the North and South ultimately led to the collapse of American democracy and a brutal civil war.

After 1800, the United States militantly expanded westward across the continent. Rooted in the idea of manifest destiny, the United States considered it a God-given right and duty to gain control of the continent and spread the benefits of its “superior” culture. Illustrated by the white, blonde, feminine figure of Columbia, the historical personification of the United States, people saw the nation’s mission as one of bringing education, modern technology, and civilization to the West and driving away the “uncivilized” American Indians.

How did Kaiser Wilhelms insistence on building up Germany's military make Germany less safe

Answers

Answer:

The reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II as King of Prussia and Emperor of Germany from 1888 to 1918 saw the meteoric rise of Germany as an economic and military power.

Explanation:

in Germany's humiliating defeat and the abolition of German monarchical rule.

Kaiser Wilhelm’s foreign policy differed from Bismarck’s in many ways. Whereas Bismarck did things based on logic Kaiser Wilhelm did things more based on emotion. This resulted in incoherence and inconsistency in the German relations with other nations.

Wilhelm wanted to an empire to rival the British Empire.

He also managed to alienate the English by aggressively expanding the navy. He was more aggressive and wanted Germany to be the best.

The more you spend on the navy and army the less money for the general public. and when other countries see you building up a navy they get worried and build up theirs. And then things can get sketchy because other countries feel threatened leading to a possible declaration of war.

Please select the best answer from the choices provided
A. A civic responsibility must be fulfilled by citizens.
B. A civic duty must be fulfilled by citizens.
C. A civic duty is for politicians only.
D. There are consequences for not fulfilling civic responsibilities.

Answers

I’m pretty sure it’s d

Answer:

b

Explanation:

civic responsibility is optional while a civic duty is mandatory, like when a male has to sign for selective services once the male turns 18. another example of a civic duty is obeying the law or paying your taxes while a civic responsibility is something like voting (only citizens are allowed to vote), you do not have to vote but it would be nice if you did.

Let me eliminate the answers.

A- this is wrong. you do not need to fufill a responsibility. it is optional.

C- this is wrong. Duties are for all citizens.

D- this is wrong ( im pretty sure ) a consequence can either be good or bad, its not always bad. So why would you recieve bad consequenses for not fufilling civic responsibilites? its not like you HAVE to do it.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

In this speech, FDR describes four essential freedoms to which every person in the world is entitled.

These freedoms are freedom of worship, freedom of speech, freedom from fear, and freedom from want.

United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt mentioned these four freedoms as part of his state of the Union speech in 1941, on January 6, 1941.

President Roosevelt was concerned about the national security of the United States during a conflictive time in the world. It was the time of World War II, and although the US remained neutral at the beginning of this conflict, the Japanese attack over the nave base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in December 1941, forced the US to enter the war.

What was American President Herbert Hoover’s biggest mistake when faced with the Great Depression?

Answers

Answer:

What was American President Herbert Hoover’s biggest mistake when faced with the Great Depression?

Explanation:

He tried very hard to get America out of the Great Depression. He tried very creative things, and succeeded in making matters oh-so-much-worse.

He was an engineer by training, a businessman at heart, and a gifted diplomat out of need.

But his training was in economics of the business sort, and he did not understand macroeconomics. Not his fault - probably three people in the United States did.

He had heard that people who were out of work had to stay home, and often turned to drink as a solution to their depression. So he invented and promoted a ball game called Hooverball. There are films of him showing staff how to play the game, which was really quite vigorous, healthy and no-contact. Creative!

But he was very much a supply-sider and austerity-minded and protectionist that was simply wrong-headed. He was operating out of his area of expertise, and his advisors’ area of expertise, and used the wrong tools for the wrong problem.

Answer:

The approval of the Smoot-Hawley Act in 1930 which placed tariffs on imported goods was Hoover’s biggest mistake.

Answers

Answer:

A United States policy using numerous strategies to prevent the spread of communism abroad. A component of the Cold War, this policy was a response to a series of moves by the Soviet Union to enlarge communist influence in Eastern Europe, China, Korea, and Vietnam.

Primarily because of the threat of Communist expansion by China, along with fear that the SU was working with China to create bombs. Plus, Korea was positioned at the 38th Parallel, which makes it an important point to hold in the area for political control.

North and South Korea had been a single country known as Korea. ... By invading South Korea, North Korea hoped to reunite the two nations as a single country under communism. With North Korea's invasion of South Korea, the United States feared the spread of communism.
