Explanation:
What does Vanderbilt do to assert his dominance and “bleed” his competitors dry? Does it work?
Answer:
Cornelius Vanderbilt started his rail empire by borrowing $100 to buy a small ferry boat, he quickly earned the reputation of a shrewd businessman. He always got ahead by any means necessary by hook or crook, it was pretty much win or lose. No middle ground. His single ship quickly became a fleet of ships and he was christened “The Commodore.”
He quickly understood the power of transportation – own the infrastructure and call the shot. At this peak, he does the unthinkable; he sold all his ships and invested in railroads. In today’s speak; he disrupted/reinvented himself/business. He saw the future and was willing to bet everything on it. His decision paid off greatly and he became the richest man in America with a net worth of $68M, which will roughly translate to about $75B today. He would be the 3rd richest man in the world today, just after Buffet.
Then around 1806, tragedy struck! Vanderbilt lost his favourite son, George, in a war. He was devastated. The loss of his child had far-reaching consequences, almost threatening his empire. Vanderbilt’s rivals sensing this, swooped in. They wanted to take the old man out. Vanderbilt sent his other son, William, to carry out a trade negotiation; his rivals laughed him away and sent him back to his father. Vanderbilt, upon hearing this, was very upset. He called his son into a room, pulled out a map and declared ‘‘they want war, I will give them war.’’
Vanderbilt owned the only rail bridge in NYC then; it was the gateway to the country’s largest port and market. He understood this leverage and he wasn’t going to spare anything that will bring his competition to their knees. You don’t mess with Vanderbilt and expect to walk away unscarred. This was an opportunity to teach William what it meant to be a Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt commanded his son to close the bridge, essentially blocking other rail operators access into the country’s biggest port and market.
New York City was a gateway into the continent, with this move, he was asserting his power as the rail king. He said to his son “we are going to watch them bleed.” And bled, they did. The presidents of the rival companies had no option than to sell, their stock holdings were on a free fall. William, sensing another opportunity, came to his dad and informed him about the free fall, Vanderbilt commanded him to buy everything he could. He dealt his rivals a knockout punch. In just days, he bought out all his rivals, creating the largest, single rail company in America.
Vanderbilt wasn’t contented with being the rail king; he wanted the world to know about it. He built the Central depot. It will harmonize Harlem, Hudson and Central, he wanted it in the heart of New York. This rail magnet also pioneered the concept of a hostile takeover. As time passed, he came to the realization that at the end of the day, transportation will be a bigger business than owning railroads.
Explanation:
On September 2, 1945, following the surrender of Japan and the end of World War II, General Douglas MacArthur
made a radio broadcast. He said,
"We have known the bitterness of defeat and the exultation of triumph, and from both we have learned there can be
no turning back. We must go forward to preserve in peace what we won in war."
Based on MacArthur's words and the text of this lesson, describe in **two paragraphs** what efforts the Allies made
to preserve peace in the future.
Answer:
I think Mac was talking about if they would treat the Japanese well, then they will not be looking for revenge. After World War 1, they treated the Germans really bad in the peace deal and France had ruthless occupation in the Rhineland of Germany. That why the NAZI party took power, people today wonder how can such people vote Hitler in and this is why. If they would treat the Japanese like how they treated the Germans after World War 1 , there would be no peace between the Japaneses and the Americans. America fought world war 2 not to bring japan horrific occupation but a occupation with justice.
Explanation:
The U.S had some Reconstruction plans that would save japan from a new dictatorship. Many people wanted japan to fall and have a ruthless occupation as revenge. What I mean by "ruthless" is take the wealth away from japan and as much of the land resources as possible for revenge. Mac Arthur knew this would not only cause unrest but revenge.

What is the Meiji era?Meiji is an era of Japanese history that extended from October 23, 1868 to July 30, 1912. The Meiji era was the first half of the Empire of Japan, when the Japanese people moved from being an isolated feudal society at risk of colonization by Western powers to the new paradigm of a modern, industrialized nation state and emergent great power, influenced by Western scientific, technological, philosophical, political, legal, and aesthetic ideas.
As a result of such wholesale adoption of radically different ideas, the changes to Japan were profound, and affected its social structure, internal politics, economy, military, and foreign relations. The period corresponded to the reign of Emperor Meiji.
It was preceded by the Keiō era and was succeeded by the Taishō era, upon the accession of Emperor Taishō.

why did the cold war start? a) at the end of world war 2, the soviet union and the united states competed for global influence and power
Answer:
Um, where are the other answer options? do you want us to check if your answer is correct?
Explanation:
If so, I think what you've said is correct, but.....
Step 1.
You could also mention how the contrasting political ideologies of the countries resulted in added tension. The Soviet Union was a communist dictatorship while the United States was a democracy. Both countries promoted negative views of the other country and other political system (resulting in the "Red Scare" or "McCarthyism" incident in the United States).
Step 2.
Another point could be that while the USSR and USA were political allies during WWII, the way they handled the aftermath of it differed - the USA (and Britain) set to work liberating countries in Western Europe from previous German control, encouraging them to hold democratic elections and become democratic and capitalist countries like themselves. On the other hand, the Soviet Union was suspicious of the West and established Soviet "puppet governments" in those countries in Eastern Europe that it 'liberated'. This group of Soviet-controlled Communist countries in Eastern Europe became known as the Eastern Bloc, and served as a buffer zone between the contrasting societies of the East and West (the Soviet Union was worried that the West would invade the USSR like Germany had done during the war, so wanted some protection against them).
