what situation allowed authoritarian governments to flourish in the 1920s?
Answer:
URL copied to clipboard
As the one hundredth anniversary of the beginning of World War I approaches, one may encounter some rather strained attempts to compare the current global balance of forces to that in Europe in 1914. I recently visited several countries in south east Asia and a different comparison struck me, the similarities between now and the 1930s, weak democracies and strong dictatorships.
This comparison “jumped off the page” after a week in Bangkok, followed by several days in Hanoi - a journey from a country with weak and faltering formal democratic institutions to an apparently stable one with an authoritarian regime (bordering on a country with a considerably more brutal dictatorship, China).
In The Age of Extremes, Eric Hobsbawm argued that the conflict between capitalism and communism determined the course of the twentieth century. This confrontation of socio-economic ideologies without doubt dominated European and global history, especially after 1945. But another, inter-related confrontation that determined the course of the century was authoritarianism versus democracy. The capitalism-communism conflict seems but a moment of history for people in their forties and younger. However, the danger of a rising authoritarian wave is as imminent in the twenty-first century as it was in the twentieth.
In most countries of Europe in the 1930s the contest between authoritarian and democratic visions of society dominated the political struggle. The exceptions were Italy where the fascists had already established an extreme version of authoritarian rule, and Britain where a rigid class structure gave stability to superficially democratic institutions. By the middle of the decade, capitalist authoritarian regimes were clearly on the rise in Germany and much of central and eastern Europe (e.g., Hungary and Poland), as well as Portugal, with Spain soon to join the anti-democratic camp.
Indeed, in very few of the industrialised countries in the late 1930s did democracy seem the stronger trend. Among the large countries only in the United States was there an unambiguous shift towards strengthening popular participation. Ironically enough it was during the presidency of patrician Franklin D Roosevelt that trade unions asserted themselves as a major political force (which would not survive much past mid-century).
Now, well into the twenty-first century it is even more difficult to find a major country with vigorous and democratic institutions, certainly not in the United States nor in Europe. In the United States the confrontation between a well-funded right wing Republican Party and the middle-of-the road Democrat Party dominates politics, one doctrinaire and aggressive, the other muddled and vascillating. The anti-democratic trend is demonstrated by passage of laws restricting the right to vote in Republican controlled states, linked to the racist xenophobia of the Tea Party. In the White House sits a Democrat apparently unconcerned by a massively intrusive national security complex.
In Europe anti-democratic trends are if anything stronger. Britain probably has the most extensive video surveillance network in Europe (see recent articles in the Guardian), as well as legal restrictions on the right of assembly, designed to reduce public protests (as we find in Spain). In addition, the Conservative-dominated coalition government’s brutal attack on poor households receiving social support in effect legalises civil rights violations. Surveillance, attacks on the poor and the government fanning fears of immigrants combine to make a potent anti-democratic package.
On the continent pre-existing authoritarian tendencies enjoyed a quantum leap under the EU-wide austerity regime fostered by the German government under the cover of the European Commission. The unelected governments in Greece (2011-12) and Italy (2011-13) represent the most obvious and shocking examples of the authoritarian trend. Much more serious in the long term is the EU fiscal compact (officially named the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union).
This treaty, which came into effect at the beginning of 2013, severely limits the authority of national parliaments to set fiscal policy. The treaty and additional measures demanded by the German government remove fiscal policy from public control (with monetary policy in the hands of the European Central Bank and beyond national accountability). This process in which major decisions are taken away from the electorate fundamentally undermines public faith in the democratic process.
Explanation:
Authoritarian governments were able to flourish in the 1920s because democratic governments were failing especially in the late 1920s and early 1930s. On top of that socialism was spreading which scared many people and authoritarianism seemed like a better option than democracy for stopping socialism.
What is an authoritarian government?Authoritarian government is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, reductions in the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic voting. Political scientists have created many typologies describing variations of authoritarian forms of government.
Authoritarian regimes may be either autocratic or oligarchic and may be based upon the rule of a party or the military. States that have a blurred boundary between democracy and authoritarianism have sometimes been characterized as "hybrid democracies", "hybrid regimes" or "competitive authoritarian" states.
Minimally defined, an authoritarian government lacks free and competitive direct elections to legislatures, free and competitive direct or indirect elections for executives, or both.

Italian-American American women, because of their poverty, frequently worked outside of their homes as domestics in order to support their Italian husbands.
O True
O False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The vast majority of Italians who came to the United States were very poor peasants or workers from Southern Italy (the poorest part of Italy), who had to live in harsh conditions, work for long hours, and support each other in order to survive during their first years in the United States.
Italian American women did not only work as domestic servants to help support their families, but also as laborers in factories, because most Italians emigrated to the industrial Northeast, and also in shops, restaurants, bars, and even agriculture.

a. limitations on freedom of the press
b.a greater variety of programming
c. an increased diversity of viewpoints
D. more reporters investigating government corruption
Answer:
a. limitations on freedom of the press
Explanation:
As a result of the prime minister of Italy having majority ownership of the press establishments in the country, the MOST LIKELY consequence of this situation on the Italian media is that there will be limitations on freedom of the press.
This is because, as majority owner, Mr Berlusconi can attempt to control what the press says thereby severely limiting the freedom of the press.

Renaissance artists wanted to celebrate human
.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you forgot to attach the options for this question.
However, trying to help you, we can comment on the following.
Renaissance artists wanted to celebrate human experiences.
That was the importance of the Renaissance, that people could free themselves of the rigorous teachings of the Catholic church that imposed its beliefs during the dark ages of Medieval times.
That is why important artists questioned those antique ideas about god and creation and expressed a new form of thinking through art. That was the case of Michelangelo Buonarroti, Leonardo Da Vinic, and Rafael.
Humanism challenged core structures in the medieval. Among them was that human beings could use reason as a way to make decisions based on their intellect, religion should be out of political and economic decisions that affect a society, and people started to challenge explanations that the Catholic church believe were valid about natural world.

In a mixed market economy, who makes most of the daily economic decisions?
Answer:
The correct answer is individual citizen. A mixed market economy is one in which there is some government involvement in the economy but mainly consists of individuals making decisions for their own benefit.
In the United States, we have a mixed market economy. Based on this information, you can better understand why an individual citizen has a majority of the power in this system.
Everyday, millions of Americans have the ability to choose how they spend their money. This can range from buying food, to electronics, and almost anything inbetween. In this mixed market economy, individuals are not limited by the government in terms of what they can buy. Rather, their own personal finances are what may set limits on what they consume.

The mystery religions
Answer:
Mystery religion, any of various secret cults of the Greco-Roman world that offered to individuals religious experiences not provided by the official public religions. They originated in tribal ceremonies that were performed by primitive peoples in many parts of the world.
Explanation, the word mystery is derived from the Greek verb mien (“to close”), referring to the lips and the eyes.
History
Dionysiac
In every Greek city the god Dionysus was worshipped by fraternities and sororities and also by mixed communities. Dionysus was a god of fruitfulness and vegetation but especially of wine. The Dionysiac festivals provided an opportunity for stepping outside of the daily routine. The festivals included not only drinking wine and engaging in sexual activity but also participating in such significant features of Greek civilization as choral singing and mimes. In many cases, only the initiated could participate in the ceremonies. As almost every Greek did join in, initiation into the Dionysiac cult might be compared to tribal initiations. It seems that initiation into the Dionysiac Mysteries was accompanied by initiation into sexual life.

The cheapest way to live in Polotzk was to pay as you went along. Even a little girl understood that. In your father’s parlor hung a large colored portrait of Alexander III. The czar was a cruel tyrant—oh, it was whispered when doors were locked and shutters tightly barred, at night—he was a Titus, a Haman, a sworn foe of all Jews—and yet his portrait was seen in a place of honor in your father’s house. You knew why. It looked well when police or government officers came on business.
The czar was always sending us commands,—you shall not do this and you shall not do that,—till there was very little left that we might do, except pay tribute and die. One positive command he gave us: You shall love and honor your emperor. In every congregation a prayer must be said for the czar’s health, or the chief of police would close the synagogue. On a royal birthday every house must fly a flag, or the owner would be dragged to a police station and be fined twenty-five rubles.

Read this excerpt from a campaign speech:
My opponent in this race for the governor's office claims
that I am corrupt. He dares to suggest that I accepted
favors from business owners in exchange for putting them
in contact with state legislators who lowered business
taxes. This is an absurd claim. Moreover, I find it ironic that
he, of all people, wants to point fingers and talk about
corruption. Isn't it interesting that he accepts so many
campaign donations from the oil industry and is single-
handedly responsible for sponsoring state laws that ease
environmental regulations? Dear friends, remember on
Election Day who the real honest politician is in this race.
It's certainly not the man on the other side of the aisle
trying to distract us from his own bad character.
Which statement best describes the speaker's point of view?
Answer:
B. The speaker wants to win an election.
Explanation:
In the given passage from a speech, the speaker delves into the point of corruption which his opponent has accused him of. But the speaker counters the accusation by deflecting the same accusation at his opponent.
The speaker openly declares, imploring the audience "[to] remember on Election Day who the real honest politician is in this race. It's certainly not the man on the other side of the aisle trying to distract us from his own bad character." This deflection is done to point out the faults of the opponent and paint a good, much better picture/image of himself to garner support so that he can win the election.

introductory paragraph that clearly states your position on ratifying the Constitution as a Federalist or Anti-Federalist
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
My stance is that of Anti-federalist. I support the Anti Federalist because they prefer to make a more crucial change and evolve better.
This is because, the Anti-federalist favor the states having more power and a good form of autonomy, from the central government, including individual rights being protected of which I agreed.
I also agree with the anti-federalist's perception of the constitution, which demands the inclusion of a bill of rights that is crucial to the citizen.
