Answer 2

The late 1800s saw an explosion in population growth and industrialization in American cities. A surge in immigration from Europe and improvements in urban planning allowed rapidly growing cities to accomodate the increasing population.

New industrial jobs emerged in factories and were filled by the many people flocking to cities for better economic opportunities. The increasing industrial output and grwoing economy provided more products at affordable prices, allowing more people to join the middle class.

Cities were planned to encourage flow of people and goods. Wide streets were common. And the rapidly expanding rail networks allowed faster transportation within and between cities. The introduction of the bessemer process allowed cheaper and easier manufacture of steel, which allowed the construction of ever higher buildings to accomodate even more people.

Cities were obviously segregated into communities based on social class. Wealthy families often lived in single family mansions or brownstones. Middle class workers and artisans could afford their own flats or lived in the apartments above their shops. The poor were often crammed into tenement slums, which were horrendously crowded.

Answer 15

ok “Commander In Chief” is a term commonly used for the president of the United States. But it’s only one of several titles conferred on the nation's chief executive. Commander In Chief refers to the president’s duties as head of the U.S. armed forces: the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines. The U.S. Constitution establishes this power for the president.

Answer 22

The "Fourteen Points" was a statement given on January 8, 1918 by United States President Woodrow Wilson declaring that World War I was being fought for a moral cause and calling for postwar peace in Europe. Europeans generally welcomed Wilson's intervention, but his main Allied colleagues (Georges Clemenceau of France, David Lloyd George of the United Kingdom, and Vittorio Emanuele Orlando of Italy) were skeptical of the applicability of Wilsonian idealism.[1]

The U.S. had joined the Allies in fighting the Central Powers on April 6, 1917. Its entry into the war had in part been due to Germany's resumption of submarine warfare against merchant ships trading with France and Britain. However, Wilson wanted to avoid the U.S.'s involvement in the long-standing European tensions between the great powers; if America was going to fight, he would try to unlink the war from nationalistic disputes or ambitions. The need for moral aims was made more important, when after the fall of the Russian Regime, the Bolsheviks disclosed secret treaties made between the allies. Wilson's speech also responded to Vladimir Lenin's Decree on Peace of November 1917, immediately after the October Revolution, which proposed an immediate withdrawal of Russia from the war, calling for a just and democratic peace that was not compromised by territorial annexations, and led to the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk on March 3, 1918.

The speech made by Wilson on January 8, 1918 laid out a policy (free trade, open agreements, democracy and self-determination). The Fourteen Points speech was the only explicit statement of war aims by any of the nations fighting in World War I. Some belligerents gave general indications of their aims, but most kept their post-war goals private.

The Fourteen Points in the speech were based on the research of the Inquiry, a team of about 150 advisors led by foreign-policy advisor Edward M. House, into the topics likely to erect in the anticipated peace conference.
