Agree or disagree with the following statement. Atomic weapons played a huge part in the Cold War. Give three reasons to back up your opinion.

I agree because many tensions were created primarily because of atomic weapons. The beginning of tensions were when President Truman failed to reveal the power of atomic weapons during the Potsdam Conference, which led to distrust between nations, especially the Soviet Union. After the U.S. dropped atomic bombs in Japan at the end of World War II, tensions increased all over the world because of the mass destruction from these bombs. The Soviet Union realized what a powerful weapon the new bombs were. The Soviet Union then rushed to develop their own nuclear weapons. The Soviet Union created nuclear weapons in 1949 and the hydrogen bomb in 1953. After this, the US and USSR each began a race to try to create larger and more powerful weapons that they could threaten each other with, which continued throughout the Cold War.

Do you agree or disagree with the way America responded to the September 11th attacks? Give three reasons to back up your opinion.

I agree with the way that America responded to the attacks on September 11.

President Bush's War on Terror helped focus Americans on terrorists. This also helped show the world that the U.S. was still strong and united after the attacks. The War in Afghanistan helped weaken the Taliban and Al-Qaeda and later led to the killing of Osama Bin Laden. The weakening of terrorists would have also helped save lives by stopping other future potential attacks in the U.S. and other countries.

Mohandas Gandhi and Nelson Mandela had two different philosophies on how to rebel against an oppressor. Explain which method you think is best. Give three reasons to back up your opinion.

I believe that Gandhi's way was better for rebelling against oppressors. Mohandas Gandhi believed in non-violent protests, while Mandela organized protests that sometimes became violent. Gandhi's non-violence became a powerful way to inspire the Indian people to fight against the British oppression of India. He didn't have the violence associated with leaders that try to gain freedom from oppression and gained the respect of many people around the world with his peaceful changes. Gandhi's non-violence helped persuade people to make social and political changes in India. Gandhi helped to organize boycotts for British items that also helped to change India. Gandhi's non-violent methods helped inspire others throughout the world including Martin Luther King, Jr. who saw the power with peaceful protests to make changes in the world.

Why was the communist takeover of China important to both the U.S. and Soviet Union? Give one reason for each country.

The Soviet Union supported the Communist Party in China and when Mao Zedong declared a victory for the Communist Party, it showed the strength and how communism was spreading and the Soviet Union gained an ally with China. The U.S. supported the Nationalist Party in China, and when they were defeated, democracy was lost in China. This made the U.S. worry about the growth and spread of communism. The U.S. didn't want other countries becoming communist, which led them to fight in the Korean and Vietnam Wars to try to stop communism from going into other countries.

The U.S. sent soldiers to help the South Koreans fight against North Korea and later sent soldiers to South Vietnam to help fight against North Vietnam. Tensions increased between the U.S. and the Soviet Union because of these wars and the fear of the spread of communism to more parts of the world.

Explain four reasons free-enterprise economies are more successful than communist economies.

The first reason that free-enterprise economies have more success than communist economies is that the free-enterprise system rewards people that work hard. By being rewarded from the effort of hard work, people are motivated to work harder than if they weren't rewarded because of how hard they work. Communist countries do not reward people any differently because of their effort, which can cause people to not care if they work harder or not. An additional reason that free-enterprise economies are more successful is that there is competition between companies, which causes the companies to each work harder to develop new technologies or better processes. Another reason is that free-enterprise allows anyone to create more opportunities for themselves and for their families because there are many ways that people can be successful. An additional reason is that people are free to create their own businesses, which causes people to be more creative instead of a system where the government owns everything and tells people what they need to do.

Why did Arab nations reject the state of Israel? Provide two reasons.

The state of Israel was created with land that was taken from Arab nations.

The State of Israel also caused tension between the Arab nations, Israel, and the U.S. who helped with their support of the creation of the state of Israel. The Arab nations and Israel have tension because both have claims to the land and both think the land is important to them.
