...decolonisation process after the spring of 1942”. The British public opinions also changed due to British economic situation as well as the pressure from the USA. Furthermore the uprise of the Indian National army and the Quit India movement also had short term significance. At the outbreak of World War II, the Indian League voted for neutrality. When India came under Japanese attack, the Congress ordered for a democratic government in return for their cooperation in the second world war. The left wing of congress refused to support Britain during ww2 and staged a congress revolt while Bose raised the Indian National Army in order to gain Indian independence by supporting the Axis powers. This however weekended the position of the congress. The muslim league stayed loyal to the British. WW2 acted as a catalyst in the Muslim-Hindu divide.The League became increasingly powerful with a membership of over 2 million people.During The second world war it became know that independence could only be achieved if accompanied by a partition. “The Second World War had a profound influence on the British policy towards India.”India's problems during WW2 could not be described as...

...The international factors that led to WWII was straying away from neutrality. FDR approached conflict with German and Japanese aggression politically. FDR did not necessarily want the United States to enter any type of war state. He believed if we as a nation stood away from conflict, we would subsequently have less problems. Because of this, FDR created the “Good Neighbor” policy, where he recognized the pathway of non-intervention and cooperation with other nations. Gerald P. Nye posed a question that made us think about why we entered the war in the first place, and it says that war manufacturers mainly sought profits, so when war had begun, this industry took off. When war went on in both Europe and Asia, Roosevelt still wanted to remain neutral. But because Roosevelt also feared isolationist criticism, this also inclined him to start help Britain and France. Economic pressures were also faced when Japan needed raw materials, especially petroleum and scrap metal; so they simply resorted to military force when they faced hardships. Naval war also preceded and FDR had to take action when U-Boats would come along and sank ships that had American sailors on it. Then when the bombing of Pearl Harbor occurred, that was when the U.S. would not take it anymore and was fully involved in the war. 2) The U.S. assisted...

...passed the Lend-Lease Act. The lend lease act made is so the U.S could provide aid to any country it wanted in return for payment. This act cut off whatever isolation the U.S had left. Between this act and selling arms the U.S could no longer consider themselves isolated from the war. The U.S could no longer avoid involvement in ww2, after Roosevelt’s policies and the events that had been getting worse and worse in Europe, with Germany conquering France in 1940, after this congress passed the law which allowed to bring back the draft. With Nazi powers growing in Europe and enemies grouping the U.S could no longer remain neutral they had to act. 1- The reason for the U.S neutrality during the 1920s and 1930s is because they just came out of ww1, the great depression of the 1930s made people think that the U.S needed to concentrate on their own country and their own countries problems. Creeping up to the lend- lease act the government knew what they wanted, they wanted to get involved in the world President Roosevelt...

...The decisions in World War I (WW1), or the Great War, were mostly the reasons for the start of World War II (WW2). In 1902, a man named Benito Mussolini moved to Switzerland from Italy to avoid going to jail. He was an avid socialist news reporter. While earning a reputation as a political journalist and public speaker, he produced propaganda for a trade union, proposing a strike and advocating violence as a means of enforcing demands. (Hibbert, Foot. Jan 12, 2000). He had got into a lot of trouble with the Switzerland police due to his writing. Mussolini had been arrested and sent back to Italy, then being set free moved back to Switzerland. He got arrested again and was drafted into the military and completed his time. Once out of the...

...Timber Industry Economic Profile Following is a discussion of the timber industry including how several economic factors affect it, including: price elasticity of supply and demand; positive and negative externalities; wage inequality; and monetary and fiscal policies. Price Elasticity Important to note is that the timber industry and the lumber industry are not one in the same and experience differences price elasticity. The price elasticity of demand for the timber industry is inelastic. Often landowners will hold inventory to sell at a later date if demand is low. The timber will not lose value in storage so price does not need to change. The price elasticity of supply for the timber industry is elastic, as prices typically increase in the spring due to low volume of timber as a result of winter weather. Possible Negative Externalities Recreational and Commercial Fishing: Corporations may elect not to harvest timber and lose earnings if timber harvesting damages the fish habitat. Water Pollution: If timber harvesting pollutes the public water system, costs may be incurred in the remunerations effort. Risk of Flooding: Increased runoff my decrease sewer capacity costing taxpayers additional money to repair the damage. Water-Quality Reduction: If timber harvesting decreases the quality of water, other companies that use the water to cool or clean their equipment or products may suffer damages. Possible Positive Externalities Recreational Opportunities:...

...Unit 1: The Seeds of Conflict, 1917-1944 The differences between capitalism and communism Capitalism advocated private enterprise, land owned by individuals with minimum government interference. Liberal democracy was a political system where each person has freedom to vote, to elect, of speech and of worship. Communism advocated state-owned property, an economy where all industries and agriculture were owned by the government on behalf of the people. A one-party state was a political system with one political party to represent the people. In the USSR, all political parties other than the Communist Party were banned and elections were contested between individuals of this party. The tensions that existed between the USSR and the USA in the 1920s and 30s Communism was viewed as an unstable force that threatened social and political order and Lenin, leader of the Bolshevik Revolution, was to represent this. Allied countries Britain, France, USA and Japan had sent help to Bolshevik enemies during the Civil War therefore there were some hostile feelings towards them even after the war. The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk (March 1918) was a result of Russia withdrawing from the war, leading to a feeling of betrayal amongst the allies who were left to fight Germany alone. Communist groups in Spain and France grew in strength in the 1930s in response to the hardships of the Great Depression which placed strains on the USA. Britain’s appeasement policy towards Germany under Hitler’s...

...Korean War Korean War The Korean War (25 June 1950 - armistice signed 27 July 1953[1] ) was a military conflict between the Republic of Korea, supported by the United Nations, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, supported by the People's Republic of China (PRC), with military material aid from the Soviet Union. The war was a result of the physical division of Korea by an agreement of the victorious Allies at the conclusion of the Pacific War at the end of World War II. The Korean peninsula was ruled by Japan from 1910 until the end of World War II. Following the surrender of Japan in 1945, American administrators divided the peninsula along the 38th Parallel, with United States troops occupying the southern part and Soviet troops occupying the northern part.[2] The failure to hold free elections throughout the Korean Peninsula in 1948 deepened the division between the two sides, and the North established a Communist government. The 38th Parallel increasingly became a political border between the two Koreas. Although reunification negotiations continued in the months preceding the war, tension intensified. Cross-border skirmishes and raids at the 38th Parallel persisted. The situation escalated into open warfare when North Korean forces invaded South Korea on 25 June 1950.[3] It was the first significant armed conflict of the Cold War.[4] The United Nations, particularly the United States, came to the aid of South Korea in repelling the invasion.

...Chemistry Notes 2010 Core Module 1: Production of Materials Contextual Outline Humans have always exploited their natural environment for all their needs including food, clothing and shelter. As the cultural development of humans continued, they looked for a greater variety of materials to cater for their needs. The twentieth century saw an explosion in both the use of traditional materials and in the research for development of a wider range of materials to satisfy technological developments. Added to this was a reduction in availability of the traditional resources to supply the increasing world population. Chemists and chemical engineers continue to play a pivotal role in the search for new sources of traditional materials such as those from the petrochemical industry. As the fossil organic reserves dwindle, new sources of the organic chemicals presently used have to be found. In addition, chemists are continually searching for compounds to be used in the design and production of new materials to replace those that have been deemed no longer satisfactory for needs. This module increases students’ understanding of the implications of chemistry for society and the environment and the current issues, research and developments in chemistry. 1.1 Construct word and balanced formulae equations of all chemical reactions as they are encountered in this module: • Acid reactions: o acid (aq) + base (aq) salt (aq) + water (l) o acid (aq) + active metal (s) salt (aq) + hydrogen (g)...

PREFACE Rationale We agreed to produce the instructor’s manual for the sixth edition of A First Look at Communication Theory because it’s a first-rate book and because we enjoy talking and writing about pedagogy. Yet when we recall the discussions we’ve had with colleagues about instructor’s manuals over the years, two unnerving comments stick with us: “I don’t find them much help”; and (even worse) “I never look at them.” And, if the truth be told, we were often the people making such points! With these statements in mind, we have done some serious soul-searching about the texts that so many teachers—ourselves...
