June 2006 - US History

<ol>
<li>Correct, it is anti-federalist because it was afraid that power would get out of control</li>
<li>Was the Soviet army really a threat? From what I remember, the US praised the German army because of its vast superiority, but nowhere in history does the US feel threatened by the Soviet army. The Soviets were feared because of their missiles, and their advanced technology that at one point exceeded that of the US. From this standpoint it seems almost certain that the main aspect of fear from the US point of view was Soviet technology. Please someone enlighten me if you find proof for the Soviet army as the correct answer.</li>
<li>Does anyone remember any of the other answer choices for that question? I'm forgetting that question.</li>
</ol>

<p>Wasn't it Madison because it talked about how it was impossible for the voices of all the people to be heard.</p>

<p>yea the soviet army was a threat if u will remember one of the reasons truman dropped the atomic bombs was to keep the russian army out of Japan.....they also had trouble with the russian army in berlin with the blockade and all......immediatly after world war ii the army was a threat, but further along the line i believe missiles and technology would replace the fear of the army</p>

<p>alexander hamilton question anyone?</p>

<p>Well, antifederalists argued that the strong national government proposed by the Federalists was a threat to the rights of individuals and had a fear that the President could become a king.</p>

<p>Can someone verify this? James Madison seems like it could be a plausible answer, but at this point I have insufficient evidence to determine the correct answer.</p>

<p>Wasnt that E. Stablilize economy so US could become a strong nation.</p>

<p>shiva, your reasoning is very correct, but did not the question specifically state the fears in the post-WW2 era? If so, then surely the US fear of the Soviets would be of their technology. This fact is almost irrefutable by countless historians.</p>

<p>^, No, it said IMMEDIATELY following WW2.</p>

<p>Oh it did didn't it, I must have read the question too fast. Army seems to be correct.</p>

<p>lol.....there was one question on the stimson doctrine do u know what the answer to that one was?</p>

<p>Manchuria.</p>

<p>yessssssssssss</p>

<p>does anyone know how i can cancel my score?</p>

<p>so what do you guys think...the curve will be better or worse than the real SAT book</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure the answer about post world war 2 russia is not army because the russian army had more casualties than all the other allied powers together...also truman did want them to go into japan russia didn't want to go into japan because there army had suffered so many casualties</p>

<h2>Wasnt that E. Stablilize economy so US could become a strong nation.</h2>

<p>Yup.</p>

<h2>i'm pretty sure the answer about post world war 2 russia is not army because the russian army had more casualties than all the other allied powers together...also truman did want them to go into japan russia didn't want to go into japan because there army had suffered so many casualties</h2>

<p>People keep saying this, but just because they lost the most soldiers doesn't mean their army wasn't still HUGE..it's not like everyone starts out with the same number of soldiers. The soviets were behind us technologically immediately after WW2, they surpassed us later with their space program but then burned out later when their economy went to ****.</p>

<p>umm.. i disagree I still think ballistic missiles is the best way to go.</p>

<p>Technology as you said, was not up to par with the United States after the War. </p>

<p>the Soviet Union also joined the U.N. security council in fall, 1945. Thus, this assuaged the United States, and therefore the Army was not a threat.</p>

<p>What do we have left: ballistic missiles</p>

<p>AAMSCO</p>

<p>The five major allies of wartime - the United States, Great Britain, France, China, and the Soviet Union - were granted permanent seats and veto power in the U.N. Security Council...The Soviets however, REJECTED a plan proposed by Bernard Baruch for regulating NUCLEAR energy and eliminating atomic weapons. Rejection of hte Baruch Plan was interpreted by some AMERICANS as proof the Moscow did not have peacecul intentions. </p>

<p>BEAR IN MIND, this is the fall of 1945, immediately following the war. </p>

<p>What is the primary issue at hand: </p>

<p>nuclear power = ballistic misiles.</p>

<p>AAMSCO...BERLIN AIRLIFT</p>

<p>Truman dismissed any plans to withdraw from Berlin, but he also rejected the idea of using force to open up the roacs through the Soviet-controlled eastern Zone. He he order U.S planes to fly in supplies ot the people of West Berlin...At the same time Truman sent 60 bombers capable of carryin atomic bombs to bases in England. the word wait nervously for the outbreak in war, and STALIN DECIDED NOT TO CHALLENGE THE AIRLIFT.</p>

<p>1946^(some may think of this as immediately after WWII)</p>

<p>So whose afraid of whose army. Umm yeah...thats what i thought.</p>

<p>It's not much different. I predicted my score with the questions compiled for the May exam using this curve, and I got that exact score.</p>
