A)

Articles 164-172 disarmed the German military, limiting the number of weapons and even how much
ammunition it could possess. Smaller artillery pieces, for example, were allotted 1,500 rounds, while
bigger guns got just 500 shells.

Article 231, commonly called the war guilt clause, required Germany to accept responsibility for causing
“all the loss and damage” inflicted on the Allies. That provision became the basis for the Allies for
demand that Germany pay reparations, which were set by a series of conferences in 1920 at $33 billion
(about $423 billion in 2019 dollars).

Article 80 required Germany to respect the independence of Austria.

Articles 45-40 compelled Germany to turn over its coal mines in the Saar Basin to France, although they
technically were under control of the League of Nations.

B)

Wilson desired to create a system that would keep future wars from happening, as well as promoting a
U.S. vision of democracy and peace. He believed that the best way to accomplish this goal was through
the creation of an international organization called the League of Nations.

C)

I agree, he did not get everything he wanted out of the Treaty. He was satisfied with clause 231 (which
blamed Germany for the war), the disarmament clauses of the Treaty (army at 100,000, only 6
battleships, no airforce or submarines), getting back Alsace-Lorraine, and being given Germany colonies
as mandates on behalf of the League of Nations. But even this did not go far enough. Clemenceau had
wanted Germany weakened to the point where it would never be a danger to France ever again. He was
angry that France got the Saar coalfields for only 15 years, and he was angry that the Rhineland was
merely demilitarised – France had wanted it made into a powerless independent country, and Germany
split up.

A)

Abortive invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs, Girón Beach to Cubans, on the southwestern coast by some
1,500 Cuban exiles opposed to Fidel Castro. The invasion was financed and directed by the U.S.
government.

B)

After the Bay of Pigs incident, Cuba clearly felt threatened by the United States. Castro started to look for
a closer relationship with the USSR who could offer the country protection. Soviet leader Nikita
Khrushchev decided to agree to Cuba's request to place nuclear missiles there to deter future
harassment of Cuba.

C)

I agree, it was a victory for the United States, although later, around July, when Cuba had the best
weaponry in Latin America, Khrushchev was ready to test the new president believing him to be
inexperienced and weak.

Cuba was only 90 miles from Florida, meaning that many of its most important cities would be
compromised by the launch of missiles by Cuba.

A)

The Nazis wanted Germans to support the Nazi dictatorship and believe in Nazi ideas. To accomplish this
goal, they tried to control forms of communication through censorship and propaganda. This included
control of newspapers, magazines, books, art, theater, music, movies, and radio.

B)

Those opposing the Nazi regime were motivated by such factors as the mistreatment of Jews,
harassment of the churches, and the harsh actions of Himmler and the Gestapo.

C)

I agree, because, one of the most important factors of power is money. Through this you can buy any
establishment that is moderately corrupt. Or even the people to support you.
