In what way(s) did the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 hurt the U.S.S.R. and begin the decline of communism?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

For the Soviet Union, the intervention proved extraordinarily costly in a number of ways. While the Soviets never released official casualty figures for the war in Afghanistan, U.S. intelligence sources estimated that as many as 15,000 Russian troops died in Afghanistan, and the economic cost to the already struggling Soviet economy ran into billions of dollars. The intervention also strained relations between the Soviet Union and the United States nearly to the breaking point. President Jimmy Carter harshly criticized the Russian action, stalled talks on arms limitations, issued economic sanctions, and even ordered a boycott of the 1980 Olympics held in Moscow.

What makes a third or fourth wave of feminism different from the first two?

Answers

The First Wave is your Susan B Anthony/Marie Stopes era stuff, seeking to redress a variety of manifest injustices, most notably the right to vote. It started in the 19th century and could be said to have ended with the right to vote in the 1920s (in the US).

The Second Wave started in the 1960s, though "feminism" never really stopped from the First Wave. This was the Betty Friedan/Gloria Steinem era; it was also called "Women's Liberation". It focused on expanding women's roles from the traditional wife-and-mother thing to, well, everything else: the right to equal pay for equal work (and in any job), the right to do what they wanted with their bodies, an end to all sorts of sexism and discrimination. I would say that it ended with the failure of the Equal Rights Amendment, part of an anti-feminist backlash that eventually turned to infighting. It was, however, hugely successful in advancing the rights of women to be treated equally in work, in politics, at school, and in society at large.

The Third Wave is more nebulous. It doesn't have a strong legislative agenda, and the key players are less likely to be household words. It could be said to have begun as soon as the Second Wave ended, trying to pursue remaining legal injustices, but it seems to me to be more about expanding and questioning received notions of gender and gender roles. It is more abstract and less politically focused; it's more academic and post-modern. I'd say that the political aspects of it are really Second Wave feminism continuing to work on the remaining problems.

The Fourth Wave is a Quora board. It's not really a broader movement at all (yet), except as an attempt to try to get past some of the divisiveness and lack of focus that marked Third Wave feminism. It seeks to solve the remaining very real issues that gender still leaves in our nation, as well as the rest of the world, much of which still hasn't benefited from the gains of the First Wave.

How did the Texas State Legislature support women's suffrage in 1918? a. By supporting the airline industry during World War I b. By ratifying the 19th Amendment to the Constitution c. By limiting freedom of speech during the war d. By allowing women to vote in primary elections

Answers

Answer:

The answer would be D. Allowing women to vote in primary Elections!

Explanation:

Texas women won the right to vote in primary elections in 1918. In January 1919, an amendment to the state consitution enfranchising women finally passed through the legislature but was defeated when put to the male voters in May of that year. So therefore, women earned the right to vote in primary elections!

evaluate the extent to which the institution of slavery changed in the period from 1754 to 1850?

Answers

Answer:

e

Explanation:

Slavery was a huge part of American society in the 1800s. Several states made use of slaves to work, however, as the American Revolution approached, slavery started to decrease in popularity in the 1800s as many Northern states opposed slavery, creating a great change in what seemed to be a non-ending movement.

What happened to slavery in the 1700s and 1800s?

Northern states abolished slavery in the late 1700s and early 1800s.  And Southern critics, including slave owners such as Thomas Jefferson, arose in the Upper South.

While some founders believed that slavery would last forever, most foresaw its demise.  At the time of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, slavery was declining in the Northern states, and Virginia and Maryland also became less dependent on slave labour.  The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 kept slavery out of territories North of the Ohio River, and the U.S.

The Constitution allowed for an end to the importation of slaves in 1808 though the framers were careful to do so without using the word slave.
