What was the main idea of the Monroe Doctrine?

Answers

Answer:

Old world and New world should remain in distinct spheres

Explanation:

Monroe Doctrine was the cornerstone for the US foreign policy. It declared that the Old World and the New world had different ideas and systems. The worlds must remain in distinct spheres. This was enunciated by President James Monroe.

Four basic points stated by Monroe.

1. USA would not interfere with internal affairs between European powers

2. The USA recognized and would not interfere with existing colonies and dependencies in the Western Hemisphere

3. No future colonization pf Western Hemisphere.

4. Any attempt by a European power to oppress or control any nation in the Western Hemisphere would be viewed as a hostile act against the United States.

The main idea of the Monroe Doctrine was the declaration of American supremacy in the affairs of North and South America. Through this declaration the United States attempted to prevent any European or external involvement in the affairs of the Americas. 

how did the department of defense analysis that was leaked as the pentagon affect the Nixon administration?

Answers

Ultimately, the Pentagon Papers led to the demise of Nixon's presidency.  Nixon reacted to the leak of the Pentagon Papers by forming a group that became known as "the plumbers."  They were a "special investigations" unit that the Nixon White House had set up in 1971 to stop the leaking of classified information.  Members of this group were later involved in the Watergate break-in (among other activities).  The Watergate scandal, in turn, eventually caused Nixon to resign the presidency.

Further detail:

The Pentagon Papers revealed that the US government had been lying to the American public about the war in Vietnam.  Daniel Ellsberg was the military analyst who leaked "The Pentagon Papers" to the American press in 1971, revealing top secret information about US planning and decision-making in regard to the Vietnam War.  

In the Nixon administration's efforts to control their political enemies, some individuals working on behalf of Nixon and his reelection campaign were involved in a break-in in May, 1972.  They broke into into the Democratic National Committee office in the Watergate complex of buildings in Washington, DC.  They were planting wire-taps on the Democrats' phone lines, and also stole copies of documents.  When the wire-taps didn't work properly, they broke in again (in June) to try to fix the surveillance devices, but they were caught.

Nixon's role in Watergate was especially in his efforts and those of members of his staff to cover up what had happened.  Ultimately, the Watergate affair brought down the Nixon presidency.  He resigned in order to avoid impeachment.  And the whole affair made Americans more distrusting of government -- a strong distrust that had begun when the Pentagon Papers became public.

Critics were horrified to learn that the government expected an eventual Communist victory.

not enough confidence in the nation's prosperity
United States extending loans to foreign countries for the purchase of its products
the organization of unions that controlled large industry
people buying too much on credit
speculative buying on the stock market

Answers

The seven events that led to the Great Depression are:
1. overconfidence in the nation's prosperity
2. farmers producing more than they could sell
3. 
large industries not as successful as they appeared
4. 
people buying too much on credit
5. 
competition from foreign countries
6. 
speculative buying on the stock market
7. 
United States extending loans to foreign countries for the purchase of its products
The response by Taskmasters lists the seven events accurately:
1. overconfidence in the nation's prosperity
2. farmers producing more than they could sell
3. large industries not as successful as they appeared
4. people buying too much on credit
5. competition from foreign countries
6. speculative buying on the stock market
7. United States extending loans to foreign countries for the purchase of its products

Allow me to provide some context/explanation regarding especially item #6 - "speculative buying on the stock market."  In the 1920s, people were so eager to invest and earn profits through the stock market that they bought stocks "on margin."  In other words, they paid for only a marginal percentage of the stocks with their own funds, and borrowed bank funds for the rest of the purchase.  By the late 1920s, 90% of the purchase price of stocks was being made with borrowed money.  This inflated the market in a way that spiraled out of control, and in 1929 the market crashed.

As to item #7, that also had something to do with spreading the Depression worldwide.  After the Great War (World War I), Germany was required to pay heavy reparations payments to Britain and France.  Meanwhile, Britain and France owed repayment of funds to the United States for borrowing they had done during the war.  So the United States had been supporting Germany in the 1920s with loans.  When the USA could no longer afford to extend loan monies to Germany after the market crash of 1929, that sent Germany's economy spiraling even deeper into the Depression than was felt in the United States.

List some of the changes initiated by françois mitterrand's government in france. how successful were mitter- rand's socialist policies?

Answers

Answer:

Some of the changes initiated by Francois Mitterrand included, raising the minimum wage in the country, abolishing the death penalty, providing more special benefits to the poor and nationalizing key industries and institutes.

Explanation:

Francois Mitterrand was a centrist politician who increasingly became a leftist as ge gained power. His stance was complete opposite of the previous French government and his policies had a lasting impact on the country.

Some of the things he did were lauded as revolutionary, including abolishing death penalty, providing more social benefits and introducing a livable wage for the poor.

However, his policy of nationalization has a detrimental impact on the business community and entrepreneurship in the country. Many investors lost confidence in the country and the economic went through a tough period.

His socialist policies can still be felt today in the country where labor laws and rights for unions can sometimes cripple the country.

Marx wrote about his disagreement with the free enterprise system in

Answers

Marx wrote about his disagreement with the free enterprise system in Das Kapital
Das Kapital is considered the most important book and opus magnum of Marx which was fundamental for socialist and communist ideology, published in 1867 in Hamburg. Das Kapital was a reasoned carefully researched treatise based on Marx saw as the inevitably ongoing class conflict between bourgeoisie and proletariat. Marx agreed with Hegel on the need for a driving impetus but disagreed about this impetus. Marx envisioned a world of a continually evolving materialism that forced human beings to remain in eternal conflict. As a result, in The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital, Marx boldly announced that he had found Hegel standing on his head and was determined to swap his head with his feet. This "swapping" forms the basis of the three volumes of Das Kapital.
