Explanation:
Is it fair to say that Christopher Columbus "Discovered" America? Why or why not?
Support your claim with evidence and argument.
Answer:
No.
Explanation:
It is not fair to say that Christopher Columbus discovered America, because there were people living there first (Native Americans). Not including people that lived there a long time ago, the issue was up for debate until 1960, when a ancient Norse settlement was discovered near Newfoundland.

What are two reasons why Communism was seen as such a threat to America in the 1950s?
the possession of nuclear weapons by Russia
France leaning toward becoming a Communist state
perceived infiltration of Communists in government
Canada becoming a Socialistic nation after the war
Answer:
World War II eliminated one type of totalitarianism only by strengthening another, with Soviet communism gaining territory and momentum. The U.S. and Soviet Union were the two powers left standing at the end of WWII, but their longstanding rivalry never degenerated into a direct armed conflict between the two nations. Thus, their rivalry was called the Cold War as opposed to an actual hot war, though smaller conflicts spun out of it. What lent the Cold War such urgency was that if it had turned into a hot war, it would’ve been the hottest war in history because each side stockpiled big arsenals of nuclear weapons.

Starved Peasants on the Street in Kharkiv, Ukraine, 1933
Complicating matters, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was a sociopath of near Hitlerian proportions. As General Secretary of the Communist Party, his ruthless disregard for human life made him the idol of future Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. The son of Georgian peasants, Comrade Stalin worked his way up the Bolshevik ranks as a bank robber in the czarist era. In power from 1922-53, he was probably as murderous as Hitler, killing at least 10 million Soviets through deliberate, if famine-related, starvation, including the Ukrainian Holodomor (left), Great Terror political purges, and imprisonment in Gulag labor camps. Holodomor translates to “extermination by hunger.” Some historians, including Robert Conquest in The Great Terror (1968), estimate the number as high as 20 million while others, including Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Soviet historian/political reformer Alexander Yakovlev, put the number far higher yet, at 60-70 million. If we’re keeping score, Hitler’s total should include more than just the Holocaust since he was largely responsible for the entire European theater of WWII that killed tens of millions more, including civilians in Stalin’s USSR.
For sheer callousness at least, Stalin could rival anyone. He sealed off borders and liquidated prosperous peasants (kulaks) by starving them to death to redirect their money toward industry. He famously said that “one death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.” Like Hitler, his genocidal policies were often aimed at nationalities such as Ukrainians or nomads of Kazakhstan. Nonetheless, most historians would argue that, given the choice, Soviets and Eastern Europeans were lucky that the USSR prevailed over Germany in World War II. Remember, Hitler’s unrealized Generalplan Ost would’ve enslaved, expelled or exterminated most of the Slavic population. Under Stalin, citizens were usually allowed to live as long as they submitted to state authority and many prisoners survived the Gulags. Luckily, Stalin never fully provoked the West to the point of escalation and didn’t live to see the advent of nuclear missiles with hydrogen-bomb warheads.

1. How did an expanding Chinese society arise from diverse local traditions?

Explanation: The Allies won and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
On the first day, the brits lost 57,470 people, and 19,240 of them died. The frenchies lost 1590 people and the Germans lost 10 - 12 thousand. Over 1.5 million people died, got wounded, or went missing. For 5 days straight, the British fired shells at the German trenches to destroy them. At 7:30 am on the 1st of July, the Brits attacked the Germans, but enough machine guns survived the bombings so that the Germans mowed down the Brits. The Germans used poisonous gas. The prince of Wales served on the Somme.

How would non-Europeans and non-Westerners feel after reading what Josiah Strong wrote?
Answer:
They would conclude that he was a racist. He talked disparagingly of other races. He did not believe any human being on the planet earth has equity and equality as the Superior Anglo-Saxon. He believed that the Anglo-Saxon race was the most superior, and will continue to exist unchallenged, while all other races will go into extinction, if certain measures were not taken.
Since he feels prejudice against all other races of different skin color, and believed the Anglo-Saxon was the most superior, these were racist remarks.
