Help Galactic Gigolo pass US History 102

[Guest Galactic Gigolo]

When the Soviets agreed to withdraw the missiles from Cuba, President Kennedy pledged that he would:

a. work on establishing normal diplomatic relations with Cuba.

b. respect Cuba's sovereignty.

c. cease the economic boycott against Cuba.

d. Guantanamo Bay's naval base would be abandoned.

 

From all the reports on the internet about it, it says that Kennedy agreed to end the blockade, in addition to secretly finishing off the shit with Turkey. I'm thinking B or C, but my book is confusing me (which I'm supposed to go by). "The United States promised not to invade Cuba and (Turkey crap)."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The late 1800's (nineteenth century) is nicknamed the Gilded Age because

a. the gold standard was what the government was very committed to.

b. corruption and greed ran rampant during this era.

c. the standard of living improved rapidly for the average American.

d. countryside citizens were lured to growing cities.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These are two out of the 70 or so questions that I'm not 100% sure on. Oral sex will be a gift to those who help me out.

Cuban Missile Crisis

 

According to Nikita Khrushchev's memoirs, in May 1962 he conceived the idea of placing intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Cuba as a means of countering an emerging lead of the United States in developing and deploying strategic missiles. He also presented the scheme as a means of protecting Cuba from another United States-sponsored invasion, such as the failed attempt at the Bay of Pigs in 1961.

 

After obtaining Fidel Castro's approval, the Soviet Union worked quickly and secretly to build missile installations in Cuba. On October 16, President John Kennedy was shown reconnaissance photographs of Soviet missile installations under construction in Cuba. After seven days of guarded and intense debate in the United States administration, during which Soviet diplomats denied that installations for offensive missiles were being built in Cuba, President Kennedy, in a televised address on October 22, announced the discovery of the installations and proclaimed that any nuclear missile attack from Cuba would be regarded as an attack by the Soviet Union and would be responded to accordingly. He also imposed a naval quarantine on Cuba to prevent further Soviet shipments of offensive military weapons from arriving there.

 

During the crisis, the two sides exchanged many letters and other communications, both formal and "back channel." Khrushchev sent letters to Kennedy on October 23 and 24 indicating the deterrent nature of the missiles in Cuba and the peaceful intentions of the Soviet Union. On October 26, Khrushchev sent Kennedy a long rambling letter seemingly proposing that the missile installations would be dismantled and personnel removed in exchange for United States assurances that it or its proxies would not invade Cuba. On October 27, another letter to Kennedy arrived from Khrushchev, suggesting that missile installations in Cuba would be dismantled if the United States dismantled its missile installations in Turkey. The American administration decided to ignore this second letter and to accept the offer outlined in the letter of October 26. Khrushchev then announced on October 28 that he would dismantle the installations and return them to the Soviet Union, expressing his trust that the United States would not invade Cuba. Further negotiations were held to implement the October 28 agreement, including a United States demand that Soviet light bombers also be removed from Cuba, and to specify the exact form and conditions of United States assurances not to invade Cuba.

the period in the U.S. c1870–98, characterized by a greatly expanding economy and the emergence of plutocratic influences in government and society.

Historians coined the term "Gilded Age" in an effort to illustrate the outwardly showy, but inwardly corrupt nature of American society during the industrialization of the late 1800's.

I only spent 20 seconds on Google looking for these, hopefully they ain't a pile of shit.

boy, that really motivates me!

 

hehe..

[Guest CED Ordonez]

The Gilded Age answer is: b. corruption and greed ran rampant during this era.

 

If you need evidence, it can be found here.

 

I defer my blowjob to Rob E Dangerously, who seems more wanting of the reward than I.

[Guest Galactic Gigolo]

Thanks for the help, but I've already looked around and found all that type of stuff. I just don't know which answer would fall into the defintions of what took place.

 

Well, now that I think about it, we still have an economic boycott on Cuba. And I don't think A is right, so I'll proabbly go with B.

 

I'm not sure on the Gilded Age, though. Plutocratic = Wealthy government. I'm going to leave it blank until someone else intervenes, as it still could be the gold standard or corruption.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

I was just thinking of starting a History Trivia Thread.

 

b sounds like the best answer for #1.

Thank you very much.

 

 

There you go.

 

I still have eight or so quizzes left to go, so check back tomorrow morning or whatever if you want to help me some more

 

Edit: Just submitted the answer. Corruption and greed was right. Still working on the quiz with Cuba, so half hour or so to verify that.

I have a question to the people who ask for help with a paper. When you give sources, do you cite "losers on a wrestling board"?

[Guest Vern Gagne]

This isn't a paper. But if someone did get help on a paper. I'd better be cited has a source.

I'm great at writing papers. The wording of some of these quizzes though (it's an online college class), is kind of vague.

[Guest Galactic Gigolo]

Why did the economic turmoil that Europe and Asia were going through in the immediate postwar period cause conflict between the US and Soviet Union?

a. Both believed it was up to the other country to invest a lot of money in Asian and European nations to make sure they had a proper recovery.

b. Different models on how to solve the problems that the economics of Europe and Asia had.

c. They played the blame-game, blaming each other for the economic problems that other parts of the world were suffering from

d. Each felt that they solely were responsible for extending humanitarian aid to the two nations.

 

 

Newest questions will be now be in bold.

 

This is one out of another twenty. My book is not helping me at all here, neither is in the internet.

 

To Internet: Why hath you forsaken me?

 

President Nixon and Henry Kissinger's Vietnam Policy included:

a. reduction of troop strength + increased bombing of the North.

b. troop strength and bombing missions both getting increased.

c. no more boming of North Vietnam, along with reducting the number of American troops in Vietnam.

d. increase in ground forces and reduction in bombing missions.

 

I know that Nixon pulled troops out. So I'm saying it's either A or C.

 

Thanks everyone. And Verne's answer was right, but I'm too lazy to dig up the oral sex picture. Just imagine it.

d. Each felt that they solely were responsible for extending humanitarian aid to the two nations.

A is definitely wrong, I think. The U.S. had the Marshall Plan and Truman Doctorine, so they felt that they should be helping.

 

B seems the most right, C the second most right.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

So, are these actual quizzes we're helping you cheat on?

[Guest Galactic Gigolo]

Well, it's an internet-college class, so you're allowed to use your book to take the tests. The four questions I've asked is like 4/100 questions. And those four don't have clear answers in the book. I hate lazy fuckers who don't search for stuff, but I honestly can't figure out these couple.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Oo, so yes. Cool.

 

I already knew the answers, but I found solid evidence for both of them in under 2 minutes apiece using Google searches. Go fetch, slugger.

[Guest Kelly]

a. reduction of troop strength + increased bombing of the North.

 

Thats the answer.
