1. Leading the Nazi Party to become the largest party in the Reichstag.
2. Stripped Jewish Germans of their citizenship and rights.

The Nazi Party took advantage of the people's situation in Germany and therefore made people look at the Nazi party as their only hope to fix Germany.

What was the main cause of the strike at Carnegie's Homestead Mill? Andrew Carnegie had employed Civil War veterans in place of steelworkers. Anarchists intended to blow up the Homestead Steel Works near Pittsburgh. Andrew Carnegie wanted to break up the power of the steelworkers' union. Steelworkers left their jobs to enlist as soldiers since war with Spain was likely.
Answer:
Andrew Carnegie wanted to break up the power of the steelworkers' union.
Explanation:
Following the success of the 1889 strike in which the steelworkers had won a favorable three-year contract, the outcome did not go down well with Andrew Carnegie who was hell-bent to reduce the influence of the workers' union.
To do this, he made changes to working conditions through his plant manager by demanding increased production and failure to meet up led to the sack of the majority of the workers.
Eventually, all the workers went on another strike in 1892

They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength be irresolution and inaction? What is the point of this dramatic rhetoric? a The colonists will gather strength through resolution. b The colonists' patience will be rewarded. c British control over the colonists will only increase. d The British army intends to station a guard in every house.
Answer:
c British control over the colonists will only increase.
Explanation:
Patrick Henry, an important figure of the American war of independence said these lines in his famous "Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death" speech.
In the above lines, the speaker tries to question the listeners that how long will they need to wait to take an action before the Britishers take control of them completely. The point of these lines is to emphasis the fact that British control over the colonists will only increase if they keep on remaining silent and subservient.

Based on the excerpt you read and what you learned in the lesson, is William of Rubruck describing a traditional Mongol society or one that has adopted foreign customs? Explain your response in three to five sentences, identifying specific evidence from your reading to support your view.
Answer and Explanation:
Although you did not put the passage to which the question refers, we can say that William of Rubruck was describing a traditional Mongolian society. This is because Rubruck's text highlights the life of Mongolian shepherds in a nomadic life system, which was the system adopted by the oldest and most archaic Mongolian society. The author also describes the traditional clothes used by society, which are very different from the clothes used today, with the influence of Western beauty standards.

How did American Indians participate in the American Revolution?
Answer:
Indians knew that the Revolution was a contest for Indian land as well as for liberty. Some Indian tribes went to war early. Cherokee warriors, frustrated by recurrent land losses, defied the authority of older chiefs and attacked frontier settlements, only to be soundly defeated by expeditions from Virginia, Georgia, and the Carolinas.
Explanation:
Answer:
Many Native American tribes fought in the Revolutionary War. The majority of these tribes fought for the British but a few fought for the Americans. Many of these tribes tried to remain neutral in the early phase of the war but when some of them came under attack by American militia, they decided to join the British. Indians fought in the Revolution for Indian liberties and Indian homelands, not for the British empire. But the image of Indian participation presented in the Declaration of Independence prevailed: most Americans believed that Indians had backed monarchy and tyranny.

How many people have only dominant traits?
Answer:
From this, people often jump to the conclusion that the dominant trait is also the most common one. This isn’t always the case and there is no reason it should be.
Whether or not a trait is common has to do with how many copies of that gene version (or allele) are in the population. It has little or nothing to do with whether the trait is dominant or recessive.
Let’s take eye color as an example. The decision on whether to have brown eyes or not is pretty much controlled by a single gene, OCA2.
More on genetics
We can think of OCA2 as having two versions, brown and not-brown. The brown allele of OCA2 is dominant over the not-brown allele.
Nearly everyone in most of Africa has brown eyes. This isn’t because brown eyes are dominant over blue and green. Instead, it is because there are mostly brown alleles of OCA2 in the African population.
Northern Europe is a different story. In some parts of the continent, over 80% of the population has lighter colored eyes. Here the not-brown allele is more common even though it is recessive.
Now this allele isn’t exclusive, there are still brown-eyed folks in northern Europe. So why don’t their brown eyes dominate over time? Because in populations, dominant isn’t dominant over other people’s recessive gene versions. Your brown eyes can’t affect my kids’ eye color unless we get married.
Let’s do a thought experiment to make this clearer. To simplify things we’ll call brown eyes B and not-brown eyes b.
