1. Identify and explain three (3) ways the power of the Federal Government increased over the daily lives of American citizens and I or industry during World War One.
Answer:
Despite expansion during Woodrow Wilson’s first term as president, the federal government on the eve of World War I remained small. In 1914, federal spending totaled less than 2 percent of GNP. The top rate of the recently enacted federal individual-income tax was 7 percent, on income over $500,000, and 99 percent of the population owed no income tax. The 402,000 federal civilian employees, most of whom worked for the Post Office, constituted about 1 percent of the labor force. The armed forces comprised fewer than 166,000 men on active duty. Although the federal government meddled in a few areas of economic life, prescribing railroad rates and bringing antitrust suits against a handful of unlucky firms, it was for most citizens remote and unimportant.
With U.S. entry into the Great War, the federal government expanded enormously in size, scope, and power. It virtually nationalized the ocean shipping industry. It did nationalize the railroad, telephone, domestic telegraph, and international telegraphic cable industries. It became deeply engaged in manipulating labor-management relations, securities sales, agricultural production and marketing, the distribution of coal and oil, international commerce, and markets for raw materials and manufactured products. Its Liberty Bond drives dominated the financial capital markets. It turned the newly created Federal Reserve System into a powerful engine of monetary inflation to help satisfy the government’s voracious appetite for money and credit. In view of the more than 5,000 mobilization agencies of various sorts—boards, committees, corporations, administrations—contemporaries who described the 1918 government as “war socialism” were well justified.
During the war the government built up the armed forces to a strength of four million officers and men, drawn from a prewar labor force of 40 million persons. Of those added to the armed forces after the U.S. declaration of war, more than 2.8 million, or 72 percent, were drafted.[3] Men alone, however, did not make an army. They required barracks and training facilities, transportation, food, clothing, and health care. They had to be equipped with modern arms and great stocks of ammunition.

What was a similarity between the French and American Revolutions? Both victories were achieved because of foreign involvement. Both rebellions were led by wealthy nobility but failed to represent commoners. Both conflicts were won by superior military talent on the battlefield. Both revolts were against monarchs and involved tax policies.
Answer:
Both revolts were against monarchs and involved tax policies.
Explanation:
The French Revolution was a revolution that started on the 5th of May, 1789 and ended on the 9th of November, 1799 at the kingdom of France.
Basically, the revolution was centered around the decision made by the French citizens to redesign and restructure their political landscape and leadership styles and as such led to the abolishment of the feudal system (Ancien Regime) and absolute monarchy. Also, this revolution caused a lot of political turmoil and chaotic bloodbath leading to the death of King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette in the month of January, 1793.
The American Revolutionary War was a war of independence of the United States of America that was fought between the 19th of April, 1775 and 3rd of September, 1783. The war started when the delegates from the thirteen (13) American colonies in Congress (First continental congress) revolted against the Great Britain over their lack of representation in the colonies and refusal to give consent to parliament's taxation such as Stamp Act and Townshend Acts.
Hence, the similarity between the French and American Revolutions is that both revolts were against monarchs and involved tax policies.

A A single empire ruled for thousands of years. B Three major empires ruled. C Slavery was never legal D There was no farming.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Today, it may be hard to find the heritage of the millions of original Americans who populated North and South America. Mostly, this is because huge numbers of those Native Americans were conquered and killed, either by new diseases or European guns. Cultural ignorance and a self-centered worldview allowed the white settlers to dismiss the Native Americans as "savages."
We now know a lot more about three major empires: the Maya, Aztec and Inca civilizations. These people built large cities to live in and giant temples to worship their gods. They didn't live in paradise; owning slaves was common in Mesoamerica. But they also demonstrated lots of practical knowledge, from astronomy to farming techniques to medicines. These were the original Americans.
Which of these is true of Mesoamerica?
A A single empire ruled for thousands of years. B Three major empires ruled. C Slavery was never legal D There was no farming.
Answer:
B. Three major empires ruled.
Explanation:
Mesoamerica is the region formed by southern Mexico and the territories of Guatemala, El Salvador and Belize. This territory was populated by pre-Columbian civilizations that established great empires. Although America had many of these empires, Mesoamerica featured three, which can also be considered great pre-Columbian civilizations. These civilizations were the Aztecs, the Mayans and the Incas.

Which best describes the acceptance of the Treaty of Versailles by the nations involved in
World War I?
(2 points)
Answer:
Let me explain.
Explanation:
After WWI officially ended in 1918, leaders of European countries met in the Paris to discuss the terms of Germany’s surrender, and to put an end to the fighting across Europe which killed millions of European and American soldiers.
In short summary, Germany had to come to terms with the following in this treaty:
-Germany has to surrender all its overseas colonies and territories across the world to the League of Nations (Founded by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson to maintain world peace after the fallout of WWI)
-Germany had to demilitarize its armies
-Germany had to demilitarize the Rhineland (an area in Northwestern France, near modern day Belgium)
-Germany had to pay a large amount of reparations to all the allied powers (money that Germany did not even have; they were broke!)
-Germany also was not allowed to have an air force anymore
Germany reluctantly signed this treaty, which left the country in economic depression, poverty, and chaos. Many native Germans (along with the German government) were very upset about the signing of the treaty. As a result, it is the anger, chaos, violence, and economic despair that led one man, by the name of Adolf Hitler to rise from Germany’s ashes and to become the one of the most hated men in the world. He founded the Nazi socialist workers party and promised Germany he would reform it into a great empire and fix all of Germany’s problems. Since the people were already desperate to escape the suffering and chaos that engulfed their country due to the signing of this treaty, it led many of them to support Hitler’s cause because they believed only he could help make Germany great again. That is why it’s said that the Treaty of Versailles was “failed” and “doomed from the start”.
I hope this answers your question.

One characteristic of an absolute monarchy includes –
O the glorification of the nation by all citizens
O a sharing of power between a ruler and a parliament
O centralized control of all political processes by the ruler
O an elected representative body for passage of legislation
Answer:
O Centralized control of all political processes by the ruler.
Explanation:
Just as the term signifies, an absolute monarchy is when all powers rest in the king or queen, the monarch. The term "absolute" tells us all, meaning the absolute rule or power of the monarch to do what he thinks is best.
In an absolute monarchy, the king or queen has unlimited powers to do whatever he/she wants in the land. All forms of power rests in the monarch. Moreover, depending on the monarch, the rights of the citizens may or may not be affected.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Which task was done by women in Mayan society? preparing for rituals building homes hunting fighting
Answer:
preparing rituals
Explanation:
The task done by women in Mayan society is preparing for rituals. Thus, the first option is correct.
What is Mayan society?The Mesoamerican Maya civilization is known for its ancient temples and glyphs. Its Maya script is the most advanced and sophisticated writing system in the pre-Columbian Americas.
Nobles, commoners, serfs, and slaves were rigidly divided in Maya society. The noble class was sophisticated and specialized. Noble status and the occupation performed by a noble were passed down through elite family lineages.
Beyond propagating the culture through childbearing and raising children, ancient Maya women were involved in economic, governmental, and farming activities. They played an active part in Maya religion, and were responsible for the care of domestic shrines.
Therefore, women in Maya society prepared for rituals.

Transportation now completely motorized and mostly fueled by crude oil has made traveling long distances faster, it is easier to visit relatives and stay in touch with friends even if you don't live near each other. The production of oil is done by large companies and often share holders are in politics. It has helped some in political gain by certain oil companies making large donations in a presidential candidate. It is now a political issue the continued use of an unrenewable resource has and continues to cause pollution, completely been the sole reason of some ecosystems end. Second, the phone now mostly we all have mobile phones that we can carry with us every where we go. Socially this new technology keeps us closer to our family and friends by being available for conversation, questions, etc at any moment. Before you would call there number and hope you caught them at home not busy with dinner or laundry etc. Economically the mobile phone has made having a phone readily available for everyone regardless of your spending limit there's a phone out there for you and it although put some of the traditional phone companies out of business it opened up a world full of possibilities to new companies. Politically the mobile phone has been a viable source of accurate news, and trade information. Social Media has socially allowed us to connect with people we know and people around the globe with opinions on topics we personally find intriguing. It has made even the socially awkward into social butterflies as you can read posts, comment, or post your own opinion and millions can view it. It along with text messaging definitely has caused loss of jobs in the post office. Before you would write a letter, buy a stamp and send it then the receiver would get your letter within 5 or so days and the have to write you a letter buy postage and send it to you. Now there's no postage no person to person delivery system you can just press send and your text message or social media message is received instantly. This has economically brought phone companies both old and new to the forefront of our economy. Politically it has both helped and hindered some presidential candidates because even the president uses Twitter now I could continue but maybe that will help get your ideas flowing. Basically they want you to debate modern technology both pros and cons and you are definately smart enough to do that.
