By the beginning of January the drill was down to 1,200 feet. On January 10, 1901, the drill was lowered into the hole, and within minutes, the well exploded. A messy shower of mud and four tons of drill pipe shot out of the hole. Then came a roar of gas and a sound like a cannon shot. Finally, a big fountain of oil gushed up out of the hole and almost drowned the crew. The noise stampeded cows several miles away. The gusher could be seen for ten miles.
What event is taking place in the reading?
A. The gusher Spindeltop is discovered in Texas.
B. Cattle stampeded and ruined an oil field.
C. Poorly laid railroad track caused a wreck.

Do government have the right to on the termination of life of undesirable people their citizens
Answer:
Explanation:
No government has any rights not granted to it by the governed. It may have the power but it would be pretty darn foolish for the people to grant it that power. The people on the other hand have the right to decide on the termination of an undesirable government and or its officials. A sane modern liberal government will have an established procedure for doing this in an orderly, non violent fashion.

What was the plan to redraw the borders of postwar(WW2) Poland called?
The answer is nowhere in my history book and I’ve been looking everywhere on the internet for it :/
Answer:
Curzon Line
Explanation:
at the teheran conference, the Big Three agreed to moving the borders of Poland which would give Poland part of the industrial areas of Germany.
I hope one of these helps somehow if not I am sorry
In 1795, Poland's territory was completely partitioned among the Kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire, and Austria. Poland regained its independence as the Second Polish Republic in 1918 after World War I, but lost it in World War II through occupation by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union
The borders are shifted to the east relative to present-day Poland, including parts of what is now Lithuania, Ukraine, and Belarus. This territory that was part of Poland between the World Wars, but is excluded from today's Poland, is known as the Kresy
After the end of World War II Europe was divided between communist and non-communist controlled territory. Germany and its former capital Berlin was divided into French, American, British and Soviet sectors. Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania became republics within the Soviet Union
On September 29, 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union agree to divide control of occupied Poland roughly along the Bug River—the Germans taking everything west, the Soviets taking everything east.
This is called the Curzon line.

What do you know about Ancient Greece?Greek urban poleis started to emerge around the eighth century BC, ushering in the Archaic period and the colonization of the Mediterranean Basin, some three centuries after the collapse of Mycenaean Greece in the Late Bronze Age.
The period known as Classical Greece, which included the Greco-Persian Wars and the Golden Age of Athens in the 5th and 4th centuries BC, came next. Hellenistic civilization was brought to Central Asia by Alexander the Great of Macedon's conquests of the western Mediterranean.
The Roman Republic's conquest of the eastern Mediterranean region and its subsequent annexation of the Roman province of Macedonia in Roman Greece, and later the province of Achaea during the Roman Empire, marked the end of the Hellenistic period.

What can we learn from this hi storical event? How can we ensure that the US does better at living up to its democratic ideals, especially i n times of crisis?
Answer:
Explanation:
Due to the attack from Japan, Americans were easily swayed to be xenophobic towards Japanese Americans and even other Asian Americans. Examples such as Executive Order 9066, Korematsu v United States and Japanese Internment show how Japanese Americans were unfairly treated after the attack.
From events such as these we learn America is not the perfect country our government tries to make us seem like. We learn that racial prejudice such as these are not acceptable in any instance- war hysteria or not. 9/11 is another similar example of American xenophobia after an attack.
We the people must push our government officials as well as our representatives to live up to its democratic ideals. By advocating, voting, calling your representatives, you may help promote these ideals. Educating ourselves and educating others is the most helpful thing we can do.
