The War on Terror was a centerpiece in the race for the White House in 2004.
Is it correct to think that September 11, and the War on Terror caused the American people to surrender more of their freedom for security? (Mainly thinking about the Patriot Act)
Taking advantage of tensions between communist China and the Soviet Union, Nixon pursued closer relations with both in order to de-escalate tensions and strengthen the United States’ position relative to each.
Since Stalin died in the 1950s, is it possible that was also seen as an opportunity to de-escalate tensions for America since Soviet policies were no longer as strict as Stalins?
The Soviets accelerated their nuclear research, expedited in no small part by “atom spies” such as Klaus Fuchs, who had stolen nuclear secrets from the Americans’ secret Manhattan Project.
What were the main reasons behind stealing nuclear secrets? Was it because of money or fueling international unrest? Were the spies aware that selling the secrets would escalate the Cold War tensions?
Roosevelt believed that there were good and bad trusts, necessary monopolies and corrupt ones.
What would classify as good and bad trusts in this case? And what was necessary? What was the criteria that Roosevelt followed in this case?
Industrialization and mass production pushed the United States into the forefront of the world. The American economy had lagged behind Britain, Germany, and France as recently as the 1860s, but by 1900 the United States was the world’s leading manufacturing nation. Thirteen years later, by 1913, the United States produced one third of the world’s industrial output—more than Britain, France, and Germany combined.5
"Industrialization and mass production pushed the United States into the forefront of the world.

Thirteen years later, by 1913, the United States produced one third of the world’s industrial output—more than Britain, France, and Germany combined."
One of the many benefits of rapid industrialization was that it allowed for new jobs to be opened up to not only Americans, but immigrants too. Immigrants from all over the world seeked money, cheap land, and America in the late 1800s offered that. So when immigrants came to the US, cities grew, and urbanization grew too. The more immigrants showed up, more jobs were filled. The cities and factories expanded, and more jobs were needed. This led to the United States becoming a leading manufacturing nation, which was partially caused by immigration and the opportunity the United States provided to immigrants.
Much of that urban growth came from the millions of immigrants pouring into the nation. Between 1870 and 1920, over twenty-five million immigrants arrived in the United States.
During this time, there were a lot of labor strikes in major cities spread across the U.S. such as the 1877 Railroad Strike. But has immigration during this time contributed to those strikes happening or growing much larger thanks to immigration?
Americans had settled the region after Modoc removal several years before, and they complained bitterly of the Natives’ return. The U.S. military arrived when fifty-two remaining Modoc warriors, led by Kintpuash, known to settlers as Captain Jack, refused to return to the reservation and holed up in defensive positions along the state border.
It's interesting to think that there were so many more battles and fights for Westward expansion that are rarely discussed besides Custer. It really goes to show how determined the idea of Manifest Destiny and westward expansion was to the Americans. And how the Natives tried to fight to keep their land.
Points will be subtracted for every one of those things that you fail to do at thattime.
N I would like to know about due dates for each module. I'm seeing various different times and due dates but I don't know which is which.
