Why did many Americans not share in the prosperity of the 1950s?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The United States was the world's strongest military power. Its economy was booming, and the fruits of this prosperity-new cars, suburban houses and other consumer goods-were available to more people than ever before. However, the 1950s were also an era of great conflict.

Answer 2
Although the economy grew in the 1950s, not everyone experienced prosperity. Michael Harrington's The Other America (1962) documented poverty in the United

how were albuquerque and santa fe affected by their population growth after world war ll ap ex

Answers

Answer:

World War II became a formative period in the history of New Mexico. Besides the Manhattan Project, which continues to influence the state to this day, World War II had unique advantages and consequences for other aspects of New Mexico and its residents.

The Manhattan Project

The success of the Manhattan Project ensured that the military, large-scale government science, and the state of New Mexico would be tied together for decades to come. After World War II, the federal government took control of millions of acres of New Mexico land, which it used to build military bases, missile ranges, and R&D facilities. The laboratory at Los Alamos became part of a new network of National Laboratories around the country.

The Sandia National Laboratories became the second National Laboratory in New Mexico. Also focused on nuclear weaponry, Sandia was built in Albuquerque near the Kirtland Air Force base. Millions of federal dollars and jobs flowed into New Mexico. As the University of New Mexico grew in size and prestige, its science and engineering departments began to work closely with the National Laboratories in New Mexico.

New Mexico's natural resources also helped promote the state's nuclear industries. In the 1950s, a Navajo shepherd named Paddy Martinez discovered a large hunk of uranium near Grants, NM. This touched off a massive mining rush; by the 1980s, 40% of America's uranium supply was mined and milled in what became known as the Grants Uranium Belt. For more on the history of uranium mining and its consequences, visit the Environmental Protection Agency's website.

Today, New Mexico has more scientific and technical workers per capita than any other state in the union. Electronics firms relocate to New Mexico to be near Los Alamos and Sandia, and to take advantage of the pools of expertise they draw on. Federal investment and the National Laboratories have made New Mexico a center of science and technology.

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt,

Washington D.C.


Dear Mrs. Roosevelt


On January 1st I was laid off from my work, leaving my father the whole support of our family. Just recently he was cut down to three days a week with a cut in pay. With seven of us in the family, it is just about impossible for us to live on this amount of money. Our bills are piling up, and we are behind on our rent.

I am 18 years of age, the oldest girl in the family, and it just seems impossible for me to get a job any where. I have been to mills, stores and firms of all sorts. I am willing and able to work. It just seems impossible to find work.

If you could help us out with money from $35.00 to $50.00, I believe we would be the happiest family in the world. Just as soon as I get back to work, I will pay you back as much a week as possible until your kind favor has been fully repaid.

How did new technologies of the 1920s influence entertainment

Answers

Answer:

make me brainliest

Explanation:

After WWI, America bathed in economic prosperity, allowing them to enjoy more leisure time and technology.   People were getting richer and began to spend more money. They therefore began to spend money for better roads, tourism and holiday resorts Henry Ford's Model T., was the first car invented and helped people to live an easy life by making transportation easier and faster. Henry Ford's Assembly Line was also important, because, many people adopted it to make labor fast and easy in their industries. However it decreased the amount of laborers needed to do one job.

Another popular invention found in almost every home was the Radio. Radios sold at 400 to 850 dollars. The first public station was known as KDKA station, at first located in Pittsburgh. Radio had become a national pastime and many listeners gathered in their living rooms to listen to sports news, concerts, sermons and "Red Menace" news.  

Silent movies were introduced to the people in 1922 and were an extremely popular form of entertainment. It was so popular, it was the 3 rd leading business industry during the 1920s.   In 1926, the introduction of Technicolor made movies more entertaining and memorable.   As we all know, the movie industry became a major part of American industry then and now.

The 1920s was also a time of advancement in science and medicine. Deaths by Diphtheria was reduced due to the introduction of new immunizations. America's population also increased in health because of a new interest in nutrition, caloric consumption and physical health. The dietary habits of Americans changed significantly as they practiced the moral of less fat and meat and more fruits and vegetables.   The discovery of vitamins and their effects also came about during this decade.

           The 1920s contributed to the development of America and how it is today because of its advancement in technology and science.

Answer:

Down

Explanation:

The increased prosperity of the 1920s gave many Americans more disposable income to spend on entertainment. As the popularity of “moving pictures” grew in the early part of the decade, “movie palaces,” capable of seating thousands, sprang up in major cities.

When the plane cuts the cone at an angle between a perpendicular to the axis (which would produce a circle) and an angle parallel to the side of the cone (which would produce a parabola), the curve formed is an ellipse.

Answers

Answer:

Answer:

hyperbola

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

double-napped cone = 60°

plane intersecting cone angle = 50°

                                                         

solution        

conic section is formed hyperbola because here plane intersecting the cone makes an angle of 50° is less than angle b/w generator and central axis of 50°

hope this helps

If the plane that cuts the conical surface is perpendicular to its axis, the section is a circle. If the plane that cuts the conical surface is tilted so that it cuts all the generators, the section obtained is an ellipse.

Answers

Answer:

Africa had several advanced civilizations during the Middle Ages. The kingdom of Zimbabwe, founded by the Shona people, was the largest kingdom in southern Africa. The people of this kingdom built a grand stone palace with gigantic walls. Timbuktu, a city in the kingdom of Mali, was a center of Islamic scholarship. The people of these kingdoms traveled across the Sahara to conduct trade. They traded with countries as far away as India and China.

Explanation:

Answer:

African Americans advanced civilization during the middle ages:

The Kingdom of Kush--- Though often overshadowed by its Egyptian neighbors to the north, the Kingdom of Kush stood as a regional power in Africa for over a thousand years. This ancient Nubian empire reached its peak in the second millennium B.C. when it ruled over a vast swath of territory along the Nile River in what is now Sudan

The Land of Punt--- Few African civilizations are as mysterious as Punt. Historical accounts of the kingdom date to around 2500 B.C., when it appears in Egyptian records as a “Land of the Gods” rich in ebony, gold, myrrh, and exotic animals such as apes and leopards. Egyptians are known to have sent huge caravans and flotillas on trade missions to Punt

What do you think accounts
for these differences?

Answers

Different people perceived the events of the Boston Massacre differently because of their political ties. The loyalists who wanted Great Britain to rule over them saw the event as an accident. The patriots who wanted freedom from Great Britain saw this event as an intentional act for the Red Coats.

The reason for the differences in what happens at the Boston Massacre is because through out the chaos no one knows exactly which side fired the first shot. This led to many accounts of which side fired first. Also, some people many have let their political views sway them as to what happened that night.
