Explanation:
War broke out in Europe in the summer of 1914, with the Central Powers led by Germany and Austria-Hungary on one side and the Allied countries led by Britain, France, and Russia on the other. At the start of the war, President Woodrow Wilson declared that the United States would be neutral. However, that neutrality was tested and fiercely debated in the U.S.
Submarine warfare in the Atlantic kept tensions high, and Germany’s sinking of the British ocean liner Lusitania on May 7, 1915, killed more than 120 U.S. citizens and provoked outrage in the U.S. In 1917, Germany’s attacks on American ships and its attempts to meddle in U.S.-Mexican relations drew the U.S. into the war on the side of the Allies. The United States declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917.
Within a few months, thousands of U.S. men were being drafted into the military and sent to intensive training. Women, even many who had never worked outside the home before, took jobs in factories producing supplies needed for the war effort, as well as serving in ambulance corps and the American Red Cross at home and abroad. Children were enlisted to sell war bonds and plant victory gardens in support of the war effort.
The United States sent more than a million troops to Europe, where they encountered a war unlike any other—one waged in trenches and in the air, and one marked by the rise of such military technologies as the tank, the field telephone, and poison gas. At the same time, the war shaped the culture of the U.S. After an Armistice agreement ended the fighting on November 11, 1918, the postwar years saw a wave of civil rights activism for equal rights for African Americans, the passage of an amendment securing women’s right to vote, and a larger role in world affairs for the United States.
As you explore the primary sources in this group, look for evidence of the different roles U.S. citizens played in the war effort, as well as the effects of the war on the people of the United States.

During the Middle Ages, it was unusual for a woman to be a supreme leader of a country. Empress Wu Zetian, therefore, was an exception to the general rule that women did not typically have leadership roles in the government. Why do you think it was so unusual for a woman to rule at that time?
Answer:
Explanation:
On December 16 in the year 705, Empress Wu Zetian passed away. She effectively ruled the vast empire of the Tang dynasty for more than half a century. Being the only empress regnant of imperial China, she was also arguably the most capable woman to have been recorded in Chinese history.
Empress Wu ruled with an iron fist. That might have been necessary at the time because of strong resistance by the royal family which considered her to have usurped the throne. Several military revolts against her took place, and they were all brutally put down.
Resentment was common within the ruling bureaucracy. The all-male officials quietly described her as “a hen that crowed”, a derogatory remark with full gender bias which was typical at the time.
Answer:
Sample answer for Edmentum:
During the Middle Ages, China was a traditional society that was dominated by men. Most people viewed women as inferior to men. Women’s roles were limited to the household. They had little to no say in larger matters related to the government. In such circumstances, it would be unusual for a woman like Empress Wu Zetian to become the supreme leader of a country.

Count Camillo di Cavour contributed to Italian unification by:
a. supporting France in the Crimean War.
b. industrializing the nation.
c. drawing Austria into war with Sardinia.
d. All of the choices are correct.
Answer:
The correct answer is D. All of the choices are correct.
Explanation:
Count Camillo Benso of Cavour was an Italian politician who played a key role in the unification of Italy. He was elected to the parliament of the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1848 and became Prime Minister in 1852 with the support of leftists and moderate rightists. When the Crimean War broke out, he sent troops to support the great powers France and Britain. In 1858 he had a secret meeting with Napoleon III in which they agreed on French support for the annexation of the northeastern regions of Italy from Austria-Hungary in exchange for the French acquisition of the French part of Savoy and Nice. The war broke out in 1859 and Sardinia annexed Lombardy, but the French withdrew earlier than planned. He assisted Giuseppe Garibaldi in planning the Millennium Expedition, but then used the fear of Garibaldi's revolution to gain French support for the invasion of the Papal States (with the exception of Rome). When Sardinian troops arrived in southern Italy, he "gave" Victor Emmanuel II this part of the country, which led to the unification of what is now Italy.

which aspect of the u.s congress most reflects the constitutional valve of republicanism?
Answer:
The aspect of the US Congress that most reflects the constitutional valve of republicanism is the existence of two congressional chambers, the House of Representatives and the Senate, which exercise joint power in legislative terms, and are jointly limited in such a way that both chambers must pass the bill so that it becomes law. In turn, another republican value that is reflected in the organization of Congress is the system of checks and balances through which Congress controls the actions of the other two branches of the federal state: the executive branch and the judicial branch.

A “citty upon a hill” is a Puritan metaphor for a spiritually exemplary city. In a well-developed paragraph, explain the origin of the term, “citty upon a hill” and what did it signify for the Puritans? Do you think it still applies to Modern day America?
A "City Upon a Hill"
Jesus Christ told his followers that they were the salt of the earth and the light of the world. He also referred to their community as a city that was set on a hill which could not be hidden. Matthew 5:14 This is the biblical origin of the Puritan's "city upon a hill" metaphor.
When the Puritans were leaving England in 1630, onboard Arbella, for America, they were charged by John Winthrop to build an exemplary society governed by just laws and freedom.
The Puritans were English men and women who had left England because of the religious persecution they experienced in England. They moved to Massachusetts Bay (the New England) to settle so that they could enjoy religious freedom.
The significance of the charge for the Puritans was that they should not forget the reason for leaving England. They should build a society that other people would look up to as a good example.
Specifically, John Winthrop warned the Puritans never to be unfaithful to God, otherwise, their sins would be exposed, and they would become a laughing stock to the world.
In Modern day America, this charge is not totally lost. Peoples all over the world still look up to America to be a beacon of hope, enlightenment, and freedom. America has championed the enthronement of democratic governance in most parts of the world.
Despite the odds, America should continue to ensure that as a city set upon the hilltop that it shows the way and truly demonstrates "in God we trust."
