SAT II United States History

<p>What did the shading on the map represent? I put "percentage of foreign born population".</p>

<p>The Lincoln map was sections I and III, yes?</p>

<p>Lastly, was Margaret Sanger a correct answer?</p>

<p>why was the Atomic Energy Commission started by Truman in early '46? To seriously address the threat of Soviet nuclear technology. why would Truman had been so fearful and defensive in his foreign policy if the Soviets did not have advanced technology with the atomic bomb - he would have had the upper hand and been more assertive</p>

<p>Lincoln map was I and IV (CA and OR)</p>

<p>1 and 4 for lincoln</p>

<p>and yes and yes for other 2 q's</p>

<p>did the lincoln one include the north and the west i wasnt so sure about that
sanger was definitely right</p>

<p>atomic warfare was to reduce the necessity for conventional warfare
like hiroshima, it was seen as more "bang for the buck"</p>

<p>you can find the proof yourself its the army if you dont believe me</p>

<p>I think the other map was urbanization areas because the south didn't seem to be shaded at all</p>

<p>speaking of chinese exclusion act, favored by middle class workers?</p>

<p>um, blueducky, what is the right answer then? and what textbook?</p>

<p>does anyone know the other answer choices for the northwest ordinance?</p>

<p>and i think it was foreign born population</p>

<p>at first i was thinking urbanization, but then i was like, why would montana & idaho have such dark shading then?</p>

<p>my explanation is that it's dark cuz people from canada & mexico migrated in @ the borders</p>

<p>Yeah, I had the same thought process on that one.</p>

<p>soviet union's greatest asset was its army right after wwii</p>

<p>America's History, fourth edition
p.869
"The Soviet Union's greatest asset was its army, including a vast force of troops occupying Eastern Europe and parts of Germany at the end of the war. Although the USSR hoped to preserve its influence in these areas, its dominance did not extend beyond the region"</p>

<p>it was sooo foreign born population. the other ones didnt make sense.</p>

<p>why would the US fear the USSR army? they're so far away</p>

<p>edit: hmm that makes sense. but its such a subjective question i can definitely see another textbook say something different</p>

<p>well if it's any consolation, it has to be what TRUMAN believed</p>

<p>and i don't think truman would have to be afraid of just an army after world war ii, because the US army was at least comparable if not superior</p>

<p>me 2. one of the reasons he dropped the atomic bombs was to show that their technology was better than the soviet unions</p>

<p>OK, guys, the Soviet question was pretty obvious: the US was wariest of the Red Army, which controlled much of Europe and was still a viable force. That's the fact, jacks.</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>hm, good point</p>

<p>list of other questions</p>

<p>peter zenger
not a cultural development in 1950's- victory gardens
silent majority- support vietnam
social darwinism- corporate something
appropriate job for women- schoolteacher
navy recruitment- EXCEPT asking women to join
president match w/ ethnic groups- wilson</p>

<p>it was inappropriate job, so therefore politician</p>

<p>soviet's greatest asset </p>

<p>I remember reading about how by the end of war, the Soviet was exhausted after fighting germany. Millions of its troops were depleted. In the fight against Japan, U.S wanted the Soviet to agree to back it up on a land invasion after it'd dropped the two atomic bombs (this is before U.S actually tested the effect of the two bombs), but the Soviet was reluntant b/c it had lose a lot of troops. Thus, U.S had to make a deal with the Soviet about something so that it'd agree. But the idea here is that the Soviet did lost a lot of its men by the end of war and U.S knew so I doubt the Soviet's greatest assest is the army. Besides, right after WWII was the cold war, which was a race on the advancement of technology. So advanced technology seems to be a better choice. But of course, this answer is arguable.</p>
