Which of the following best explains why the Soviet Union supported movements such as the one described in the passage ?
Answer:
D
The Soviets wished to undermine Western governments during the Cold War.
Explanation:
Passage :
As a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, I did not know much about being a freedom fighter, although I read nationalist newspapers and knew about the pronouncements of Jomo Kenyatta.* I read his book and Kenyatta himself was a frequent visitor to our home. He would talk to my father for hours on end. But, as children, we did not know what they were discussing. By the time the British declared a state of emergency in Kenya, I had already taken my first oath to the Mau Mau cause. Repeating carefully after the instructor, I swore to:
1. Fight for the soil of Kenya, which had been stolen by the Whites.
2. If possible, get a gun and any other valuables or money to help strengthen the movement.
3. Kill anyone who was against the movement, even if that person was my brother.
The state of emergency and the fighting kept me from studying abroad and joining my sister and brothers, who were studying in England. Finding myself with more time on my hands, I became even more eager to learn about freedom activities and felt even more commitment to Mau Mau, convinced that it was the only way that Kenya could be free.
Matters worsened as the state of emergency continued. People were arrested arbitrarily by the colonial authorities, and Black collaborators accused people of being Mau Mau with little or no proof. Despite the pressure, I felt as determined as ever. In my mind, I had no doubt that I was fighting for a just cause.”

The Soviets wished to undermine Western governments during the Cold War.
What did the Soviets want during the Cold War?Truman, his country, and the free world sought to uphold freedom where it already existed and promote it where it did not, whereas Stalin and the Soviets wanted to spread communism throughout Europe and the rest of the globe. Simply put, World War Two had shown how fundamentally incompatible the principles of two former friends were. And when Stalin and the Communists tried to project their ideology, unrest, and bloodshed on the international scene, the struggle spread globally.
The Soviet Union had enlisted spies and seized control of American communist organisations even before Stalin came to power. Their spy work was quite successful. Alger Hiss, Julian Wadleigh, Laurence Duggan, and Noel Field were all Communist spies working for the State Department.

The Treaty of Versailles was significant because
why?
Answer:
Explanation: The Treaty Of Versailles Significance The significance of the Treaty of Versailles is that it helped to bring an end to World War I and also helped in deciding the fate of Germany after the war came to an end. To under the significance of the treaty, it is important to first understand the mindset of the signatories.
Answer:
The Treaty of Versailles, signed in June 1919 was significant because it officially ended World War 1. The treaty held Germany responsible for starting the world with harsh penalties including loss of territory, massive reparations, payments, and demilitarization. Extremely different from President Woodrow Wilson's original idea (outlined in his famous Fourteen Points), the Treaty of Versailles humiliated Germany and failed to outline the issues that started the war in the first place. Economic distress and resentment of the treaty within Germany helped fuel the ultra-nationalist sentiment that led to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, thus ultimately leading to the start of World War 2.

summarize the treaties that led to the end of the cold war
Answer:U.S.-Soviet relations improved considerably during the middle 1980s. At a dramatic summit meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland, in October 1986, Gorbachev proposed a 50-percent reduction in the nuclear arsenals of each side, and for a time it seemed as though a historic agreement would be reached. The summit ended in failure, owing to differences over SDI. However, on December 8, 1987, the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty was signed in Washington, eliminating an entire class of nuclear weapons. The INF Treaty was the first arms-control pact to require an actual reduction in nuclear arsenals rather than merely restricting their proliferation.
As the decade came to an end, much of the Eastern Bloc began to crumble. The Hungarian government took down the barbed wire on its border with Austria and the West. The Soviet Union did nothing in response. Although travel was still not completely free, the Iron Curtain was starting to unravel. On November 10, 1989, one of the most famous symbols of the Cold War came down: the Berlin Wall. By the end of the year, leaders of every Eastern European nation except Bulgaria had been ousted by popular uprisings.
By mid-1990, many of the Soviet republics had declared their independence. Turmoil in the Soviet Union continued, as there were several attempts at overthrowing Gorbachev. On December 8, 1991, the Soviet Union ceased to exist. Boris Yeltsin, president of the Russian Republic, formed the Commonwealth of Independent States (C.I.S.). After 45 years, the Cold War was over.

what similarities did the kingdoms of vandals,visigoths,and ostrogoths have with the people of western roman empire whom they conquered
Answer:
Explanation:The Goths were a nomadic Germanic people who fought against Roman rule in the late 300s and early 400s A.D., helping to bring about the downfall of the Roman Empire, which had controlled much of Europe for centuries. The ascendancy of the Goths is said to have marked the beginning of the medieval period in Europe.

HISTORY OF THE HOLOCAUST! Please help.
Answer:
HOLOCAUST Happen after WW1 when Adolf Hitler rose again to power in hatred for Jews and Hitler and blamed Jews for troubles to gain more power and created he's own police force SS built large outdoor prison camps to keep a large group of people in one place started to banned Jews form jobs and Jewish kids from schools .On November 9/1938 violence of attacks riots led by SS officers acting on specific orders. Many wore regular clothes to blend in with the crowd to destroy Jewish-owned shops and burn synagogues, and murder 90 Jews Another 30,000 were arrested and sent to concentration camps. that night was called Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass. Many Jews had already left Germany. After Kristallnacht, more and more tried to escape They sought safety in other countries, at embassies, and at the borders. Most were turned away. On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland, that touching off World War II Within a year, most of Europe was under German control. This brought the fates of millions more Jews into the hands of the Nazis. Including those who thought they had escaped, Jews were stripped of their property and forced into ghettos, walled-off sections of cities. Conditions were extremely crowded, with little food and almost no medicine. From there, they were shipped off to a vast networks of concentration camps. The Nazis now had hundreds of these prisons across Europe. Prisoners spent their days doing hard labor They died by the thousands from torture, disease, and starvation. Well, for the Nazis, none of this went far enough. So Hitler's administration devised a final solution: Explanation: total extermination. Families were rounded up and shot by the thousands. And in late 1941, the Nazis began to build death camps with gas chambers. These were airtight rooms that were filled with deadly poisonous gas. Prisoners were told they were showers, but the showerheads poured gas, not water. By the end of the war, the Nazis had killed 6 million Jews, plus 5 million others. When the Allies won the war, the camps were liberated. and piles of bodies shocked the world. People struggled to comprehend the scale of the Nazis' crimes. Party leaders were prosecuted at a special court in the German city of Nuremberg. Accusing them of murder didn't seem big enough to fit their crimes. So they were charged with a new category of offense:" crimes against humanity." The newly-formed United Nations took steps to prevent another Holocaust. Its countries agreed to work together
to root out and punish genocide.
