What were three advantages the United States had in the Mexican- American War? Explain in detail.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The advantages that the United States had were that it was wealthier, larger, and more populous than Mexico. America also had industries to supply it with arms and ammunition as well as a larger and better navy and more advanced artillery.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The U.S. had Superior Firepower

Artillery (cannons and mortars) was an important part of warfare in 1846. The Mexicans had decent artillery, including the legendary St. Patrick's Battalion, but the Americans had the best in the world at the time. American cannon crews had roughly double the effective range of their Mexican counterparts and their deadly, accurate fire made the difference in several battles, most notably the Battle of Palo Alto. Also, the Americans first deployed the "flying artillery" in this war: relatively lightweight but deadly cannons and mortars that could be swiftly redeployed to different parts of the battlefield as needed. This advance in artillery strategy greatly helped the American war effort.

2. Better Generals

The American invasion from the north was led by General Zachary Taylor, who would later become President of the United States. Taylor was an excellent strategist: when faced with the imposingly fortified city of Monterrey, he saw its weakness right away: the fortified points of the city were too far from one another: his battle plan was to pick them off one by one. The second American army, attacking from the east, was led by General Winfield Scott, probably the best tactical General of his generation. He liked to attack where he was least expected and more than once surprised his opponents by coming at them from seemingly out of nowhere. His plans for battles such as Cerro Gordo and Chapultepec were masterful. The Mexican Generals, such as the legendarily inept Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, were way outclassed.

3. Better Resources

The American government committed plenty of cash to the war effort. The soldiers had good guns and uniforms, enough food, high-quality artillery and horses and just about everything else they needed. The Mexicans, on the other hand, were totally broke during the entire war. "Loans" were forced from the rich and the church, but still corruption was rampant and the soldiers were poorly equipped and trained. Ammunition was often in short supply: the Battle of Churubusco might have resulted in a Mexican victory, had ammunition arrived for the defenders in time.

What were the results of the Soviet Union’s attempts to consolidate power in Eastern Europe after World War II?

Soviet-built tanks wheel into action in a smoke-filled Budapest street during Hungary's rebellion against communist satellite government in October of 1956. (AP)
In a long-awaited history due to be published this week, journalist and author Anne Applebaum draws on firsthand accounts and previously unpublished archival material to describe how the Kremlin established its hegemony over Eastern Europe at the end of World War II. The book, titled Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe, 1944-56, explores the gutting of local institutions and the murders, terror campaigns, and tactical maneuvering that allowed Moscow to establish a system of control that would last for decades to come. I spoke with, Applebaum, whose previous book, a history of the Soviet Gulag, won the Pulitzer Prize. Here is more information. because they are so different and they just had extremely different experiences of war. Germany obviously was Nazi Germany, Hungary had been a country somewhat in-between, a sometimes happy, sometimes unhappy ally of Hitler, and of course Poland was an ally and very actively [involved in the fight against Hitler.]

So therefore there were three countries with different recent histories and what interested me was the fact that despite those cultural differences, despite the linguistic differences, despite the recent political history, by about the year 1950 if you'd looked in at this region from the outside, they would have all appeared very similar.

In the preface, you state that one of the purposes of the book it is to study the history of totalitarian countries and the methods employed by dictators to suppress populations. What can be learned from the history of the Soviet influence in Eastern Europe?

What you learn from studying the period is several things. One is how well prepared Stalin was before he got there. He had for example prepared police forces, secret police forces for each of the countries before he arrived in those countries. Most notably in Poland he begins recruiting policemen from the year 1939. Of course we've always known that he prepared and recruited, and organized communist parties from the time of the Bolshevik Revolution onwards.

​​You also see which kind of institutions the Soviet Union was most interested in. For example, everywhere that the Red Army went, one of the first things they did was take over the radio station. They believed very much in propaganda, in the power of propaganda and they believed that if they just could reach the masses by what was then the most efficient means possible, namely the radio, then they would be able to convince them and then they would be able to take and hold power.

You also learn about some of their obsessions, some of the things they were concerned about. From the earliest days of the Soviet Union, Soviet representatives in the region were very interested in what we now call civil society. So they were very interested in self-organized groups. That means both political parties, it means soccer clubs, it means chess clubs. Self-organized groups of all kinds were a target of Soviet interest and in some cases repressed from the very beginning. Hope this helps!

I think the first question is quite obvious. It's offensive and represents stereotypes geared towards a certain race. Others may try and hold onto it because of the legacy that the infamous mascot holds. The NFL team Washington 'Redskins' is a racial slur. As a result, it was changed. People who grew up with the name may hold onto it. They may know it's wrong but don't want something they once hailed as a fan to change.

This graph shows predicted population by continent.

A line graph shows predicted population by continent, from 2010 to 2100. For the continents of North America, South America, and Europe, the population remains steady, under 1,000 for each. Asia is predicted to rise 5,100 by 2050 before slowly falling to 4,700 by 2100. Africa is predicted to steadily rise, from 1,000 in 2010 to 4,200 in 2100.

Which would be the most logical reason for Africa’s population growth?

higher birth rates
more land available to populate

Explanation:

The correct option is higher birth rates.

What is population growth?Population augmentation is the increase in the number of humans on Earth. For most of the human record, our population size was rather stable. But with innovation and automation, energy, food, water, and medical care became more functional and reliable.The major conclusions were that social factors—such as education, child marriage, contraception use, and religion—correlate most deeply to population growth. Familiarized couples tend to have fewer children. More religious people tend to have more children.Population growth causes a disproportionate negative influence on the environment. Problems of inhabitants' size and growth, resource utilization and depletion, and environmental pollution must be considered jointly and on a global basis.

Which detail from this first-hand account of the Tet Offensive demonstrates that it was a surprise attack?

Answers

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Tet was launched in January 30th 1968, Tet being the Chinese New Year.

The attack was a complete surprise. The guard of the South Vietnamese army was lowered by Tet celebrations. Moreover the Vietcong and NVA switched their offensive from the countryside to the cities, which again took the South Vietnamese and Americans by surprise.

The fact that the Vietcong could get right inside the American embassy in Saigon emphasized the surprise nature of the attack.

Tet was actually a military defeat for the communists as they sustained massive losses. However psychologically it was a massive victory for them. Widespread coverage of the raging battles in cities such as Saigon and Hue on American televisions every night, swayed public opinion against the war, as the images suggested the Vietcong could go anywhere, and so it suggested the US was losing the war.
