Answer:
The 20th century was dominated by war and conflict that continually shifted the balance of power around the globe. This pivotal time period saw the emergence of "total wars" like World War I and World War II in which militaries used any means necessary to win—these wars were so massive they encompassed nearly the entire world. Other wars like the Chinese Civil War remained local but still caused the death of millions.
Motives for these wars ranged from expansion disputes to government upsets, even the intentional murder of an entire people. But they all shared one thing: an extraordinary number of deaths. You will notice that in many cases, soldiers were not the only ones dying.nation: The three wars of the 1900s with the highest number of civilian and soldier fatalities were World War II, World War I, and the Russian Civil War, respectively.
World War II
The largest and bloodiest war of the 20th century (and of all time) was World War II. The conflict, which lasted from 1939 to 1945, involved most of the planet. When it was finally over, between 62 and 78 million are estimated to have died.1 Of that enormous group, which represents about 3 percent of the entire world population at the time, the huge majority (over 50 million) were civilians.2
World War I
World War I was also catastrophic but total casualties are much harder to calculate as deaths were not well documented. Some sources estimate that there were over 10 million military deaths plus civilian casualties, of which there are thought to be even more (so in total, the number of deaths is estimated at 20 million or more).3 Factoring in the deaths caused by the 1918 influenza epidemic, spread by returning soldiers at the end of World War I, this war's death total is much higher. The epidemic alone was responsible for at least 50 million deaths.4
Russian Civil War
The third bloodiest war of the 20th century was the Russian Civil War. This war caused the death of an estimated 13.5 million people, almost 10% of the population—12 million civilians and 1.5 million soldiers.5 Unlike the two world wars, however, the Russian Civil War did not spread across Europe or beyond. Rather, it was a struggle for power following the Russian Revolution, and it pitted the Bolsheviks, headed by Lenin, against a coalition called the White Army.
Interestingly, the Russian Civil War was over 14 times deadlier than the American Civil War. By comparison, the latter was a much smaller war that resulted in 642,427 Union casualties and 483,026 Confederate casualties.6 However, the American Civil War, which began in 1861 and ended in 1865, was by far the deadliest war in history for the United States. The second deadliest in terms of American soldier fatality was World War II with a grand total of 416,800 military deaths.7
Other Major Wars and Conflicts of the 20th Century
Many wars, conflicts, revolutions, and genocides shaped the 20th century outside of these top three largest. Take a look at this chronological list of other major wars of the 20th century to see just how much this century was impacted by battle.

Candice is building a rectangular piece of a fence according to the plans her boss gave her. One of the angles is not labeled. Write an equation, and use it to determine the measure of the unknown angle
Answer:
41
Explanation:
Since the sum of angles of a triangle is 180, we add the given angles then subtract from 180. We see its a square cut in half diagonally so they are both congruent(same).
The little square is a right angle which simply is 90 degrees, and 49.
49+90=139
180-139=41

1. what is nationalism?
2. what is sectionalism?
Answer:
nationalism is an idea and movement that promotes the interests of a particular nation (as in a group of people), especially with the aim of gaining and maintaining the nation's sovereignty (self-governance) over its homeland. sectionalism is the restriction of interest to a narrow sphere; undue concern with local interests or petty distinctions at the expense of general well-being.
Answer:
Nationalism is an idea and movement that promotes the interests of a particular nation, especially with the aim of gaining and maintaining the nation's sovereignty over its homeland. Nationalism holds that each nation should govern itself, free from outside interference, that a nation is a natural and ideal basis for a polity and that the nation is the only rightful source of political power. It further aims to build and maintain a single national identity, based on shared social characteristics of culture, ethnicity, geographic location, language, politics, religion, traditions and belief in a shared singular history, and to promote national unity or solidarity. Nationalism seeks to preserve and foster a nation's traditional cultures and cultural revivals have been associated with nationalist movements. It also encourages pride in national achievements and is closely linked to patriotism. Nationalism is often combined with other ideologies such as conservatism or socialism.
Sectionalism is loyalty to one's own region or section of the country, rather than to the country as a whole. Sectionalism occurs in many countries, such as in the United Kingdom, most notably in the constituent country of Scotland, where various sectionalist/separatist political organizations and parties have existed since the early 1920s, beginning with the Scots National League. Today, Scottish sectionalism is most strongly associated and advocated by the Scottish National Party (SNP), which can be described as both sectionalism and separatist. The SNP advocates for both Scottish independence and more autonomy for Scotland while remaining a part of the United Kingdom.

All of the following nations invaded and attacked Israel upon its creation EXCEPT:
A. Ottoman Empire
B. iraq
C. Egypt
D. Saudi Arabia
Answer:
A. Ottoman Empire
Explanation:
First of all, with basic history. Israel didn't even exist during the time of the Ottoman Empire as the region was called Filistin (Palestine) at the time. After the conquest of the Ottoman Empire by the Entente in WWI was when the creation of a Jewish state was mentioned. In the Sevres Agreement, Britain would retain control of Palestine until it was ready to be independent (which was total lies). Britain started allowing Israelis to return to Palestine and over time, the population of Palestine went up in the thousands. Palestine was no longer Arab or Palestinian but Israeli (Side note: After the fall of the Ottoman empire, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk led a war against the Entente and Armenia and managed to create a Turkish Republic). Upon the creation of Israel, almost all Middle Eastern and Arab nations declared war and attempted to invade Israel including Iraq, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.

weitere I 1. During which period did American leaders face these problems?
A the Era of Good Feelings
B the Presidency of George Washington
Cthe War of 1812
D the Presidency of James Madison
Answer: (A) The Era of Good Feelings
Explanation: Although the “era” generally is considered coextensive with President James Monroe’s two terms (1817–25), it really began in 1815, when for the first time, thanks to the ending of the Napoleonic Wars, American citizens could afford to pay less attention to European political and military affairs.
Answer: B
Explanation: The years between the election to the presidency of James Monroe in 1816 and of John Quincy Adams in 1824 have long been known in American history as the Era of Good Feelings. The phrase was conceived by a Boston editor during Monroe’s visit to New England early in his first term. That a representative of the heartland of Federalism could speak in such positive terms of the visit by a Southern president whose decisive election had marked not only a sweeping Republican victory but also the demise of the national Federalist Party was dramatic testimony that former foes were inclined to put aside the sectional and political differences of the past.
