Keystone Bridge Analysis

Most of Europe had already become industrialized. Britain’s industrial revolution had started in the eighteenth century and France had started industrializing in the 1800s, for example. Industrializing gave these countries an advantage over Russia because they could produce better farming equipment with their steel and had more things to sell and trade. One of the reasons that Russia wasn’t able to industrialize at that time is that in order to have a healthy working class population, a country needs to have a stable agriculture that feed everyone. However, Russia had many great famines and the weather also undoubtedly made it difficult to farm.

The song “Dear Mr President” was composed by an American artist with an international fan base, Pink. In this song Pink speaks on behalf of America for the issues that have been left aside because they didn’t seem important to the former president, George W. Bush. George W. Bush was the 43rd president of the United States from 2001 to 2009. The purpose of this song was to confront the president and question the president’s morals and who he is as a person to see if he is proud of who he is and how he is running the country. In the song there are many issues that Pink is protesting within this song and example is the inadequacy of empathy towards the poor and the middle-class citizens.

When the reporter talked to Chancellor Angela Merkel she said, “She was not sure he was in touch with reality, telling US President Obama that Putin was ‘in another world’”, it helps show the opinion of outside sources (Robertson 2). This suggests that Putin was out of control. The way he acts while he is in power shows a side of him that people don’t like. They believe that he is “in another world” because of how he behaves.

He writes that when William F. Buckley of The National Review wrote a piece condemning the Society and asking Welch to step down, he still needed to assert that “Many decent people belonged to the Society” and that it was controlled by a “lunatic fringe,” but even then Buckley still faced pushback from many conservatives. Mulloy depicts the Goldwater campaign as being the highpoint of the Society’s influence in politics. He states that, “a major problem facing Goldwater was that he was strongly identified with both the radical Right in general and the John Birch Society in particular.” Yet, he argues that Goldwater was afraid to distance himself from radical elements, such as the Birch Society, because of their influence. This, along with several other factors led to him being viewed as an extremist, and after his devastating loss the Society was pushed from the semi-mainstream by conservatives who viewed them as part of the extreme element that led to Goldwater’s

The first reason why James watt is influential is his accomplishments. One reason why he is influential is on (digital) it says “Watt continued to make improvements to the steam engines, and patented other inventions, such as the rotary engine and a steam locomotive”. This quote helps me by showing how he was making improvements. Also according to(the famous people) it says “ He modified the steam engine to increase its efficiency through his creative thinking and scientific knowledge of instrument design.”This quote helps me by showing how he wanted to make new design to the steam engine. The last reason is on (the famous people)it says “ In 1960, the 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures incorporated ‘watt’ as the unit of power in International System of Units”.

The locomotive started becoming popular and more people started to travel in them. Because it was such a success people began to improve it by adding comfortable seats and some even had sleeping cars. The locomotive was such a huge success in Britain that the first locomotive to operate in America was sent from Britain. It made a huge impact on people and was a great change in history. It was influential and because of that, most locomotives today are for historical and educational purposes.

Lincoln Electric began with a $200 investment, the ingenuity, and the drive from a beleaguered industrialist, John C. Lincoln, in 1895. After over a decade, his brother, James F. Lincoln, was brought on board to run the company and left John to his other ventures. This well reputed company was only in its infancy. As time would unfold, a distinctive culture was about to shift the paradigm. The organizational culture of Lincoln Electric continues to be well respected and studied far and wide.

The natural resources that England had gave them an advantage. Major resources that England had was Coal, Iron, Wool, Lead, Tin, and Cotton (Doc 1).

Coal was really important Europe, without coal they would have steam engines or factories.

( Nicholson pg 6 ) Clark began the long hard work of starting the construction from the help of his uncles. He was able to lease eighty acres from his uncles that would soon expand. He did not have the money to either buy his own land or start the construction by himself, so he had to come up with a way to kickstart his dreams. He was able to start his construction process by selling over 320 memberships for one hundred dollars a piece. People jumped at the idea of being able to be apart of something new.

These changes stimulated a large increase in the destructiveness, power potential and size of military forces. Perhaps the greatest advancement in military capability arose from the revolution in transport and communications, founded upon the development of the steam engine in the early nineteenth century that powered rail transport. The train transportation of troops and supplies meant that by the 1840s, armies were no longer restricted by previous time and space constraints. War was now a

Peter the Great did a lot to help Russia become a great power. It took him his whole 40 years to do this for Russia. The main goal for Peter in order to make Russia a great power was to westernize it. He thought if you modernize the country then the country would be strong. Peter wanted to have a capital near the water so the navy would be strong and it would be easier for trade.

One cause of World War I was Militarism. Germany had an industrialized military and spent millions of dollars on weapons and trying to improve and prepare them for war. Many other countries seen this newfound competition and started to try and rebuild their armies and navy so they could keep up. France and Russia were also other big spenders in the war. With Germany’s new and improved army, they started to gain confidence and were convinced that they could win a war.

However, Truman’s attempts to follow his hard line in the policy were largely limited by the Congress. The relationships between the President and the Congress had been burdened with many factors. Although Truman was a Democrat, the majority in the US Congress belonged to the Republicans, who adopted a series of legislations of the right-wing conservative character. In his pursuit of the economic progress and social equality, Truman followed Roosevelt’s course: he aimed to provide a full employment, public healthcare insurance, federal assistance to educational programs and extension of civil rights for the Americans. The Republicans who controlled the Congress in 1947-49, on the contrary, tried to depart from Roosevelt’s New Deal.

However, the liberal and progressive organizations that usually would have protected the civil liberties of the victims of McCarthyism backed down from the task. Although numerous Americans were disturbed and troubled by McCarthy’s allegations, there was an absence of effective outlets for them to express their opposition. Therefore, liberals and progressives merely did not mount a campaign against McCarthyism nor did they defend the victims’ civil liberties, or when few tried, it was not effective. Schrecker argues, “The destruction of the front groups and the left-led unions may well have had a more deleterious impact on American politics than the decline of the (Communist) party itself.” (Schrecker 105). This is because, as seen in the example of McCarthyism, with the demise of the left-led unions and organizations, the nation lost the network that created a public space where legitimate alternatives to the status quo could be presented.
