How far do these 3 sources suggest that it was the sudden deterioration in the trade figures during the election campaign that explains labours unexpected defeat in the general election? Source 1 provides no direct evidence to show how labour was defeated in the 1970 election however economically in the 1960's, Labour and Harold Wilson had struggled. They inherited a large trade deficit and this became most apparent in 1966 once Labour had increased their majority. The problem was that to help ease the issue, Wilson would have to devalue the pound so that the UK's exports would be cheaper and therefore more competitive in price. However this was something that Wilson vowed he would not do.
Crisis Report: Tehran: The Carter Administration The Iran Hostage Crisis President Carter’s New Year’s 1979 toast to the Shah at a state dinner in Tehran, announcing that he was "an island of stability in one of the more troubled areas of the world”, set the tone of the stance the United States had with the Shah which indicated support. This led to the trigger of The Iran Hostage Crisis that lasted 444 days, in which Carter allowed an ally, the unpopular Shah to flee to the New York to receive medical care for his cancer and escaping the Iranian Revolution. On November 4th 1979 student demonstrators raided the US Embassy in Tehran, capturing 66 Americans, in which 13 women and minority hostages were let go almost immediately and 1 ill man shortly after. The dislike the Iranian people had for the United States began in the 1950’s, whereas the United States became allies with non-communist regimes, regardless of their country’s people support. 1953 marked the US’s decision to become an ally with the Shah, the leader of Iran.
Also, both Hungary and Czechoslovakia eventually said that they wanted to get away from communism. Detente – lesening of tensions Why did Detente collapse in the 1970s and the 1980s? Describe the key features of Detente Detente was a relaxation in tensions in the 1970s and 1980s between the USA and the USSR, this failed because there were economic problems in the USA and there was an arms race which was very costly, both in money terms and in terms of relations between the USA and the USSR. Also, in 1972, SALT was set up, this limited the amount of arms each country could have. This was not a good start to detente, however SALT seemed to have a positive effect.
After decades in the market, Coca-cola chose to leave india rather than cut its equity stake to 40% and hand over its secret formula for the syrup. b.) In 1988 Pure Drinks’ Campa Cola faced a dramatic shakeout following a government warning that BVO [(Brominated vegetable oil) which is used to stabilize citrus-flavoured soft drinks] an essential ingredient in locally produced soft drinks was carcinogenic. Producers either had to resort to using a costly imported substitute, estergum, or they had to finance their own R&D in order to find a substitute ingredient. Many failed and quickly withdrew from the industry.
This instability of the supply of gas was known as the “Gas Crisis “or “Gas Shock” of 1973. The “Gas Shock” of 1973 prohibited oil companies to raise their prices in order to cover the cost of crude oil to be refined. This caused many gas stations to go out of business and caused the price of gas to go even higher. In the 1970’s the gas crises lead to violence at the gas pump, many protests and trucker striking due to high prices and limited supply of gasoline. Setting a price for gas today, would lead to the same effects whether the price is set higher than the equilibrium or lower.
This led to conflicts and therefore partially led to the destruction of the Native American way of life. The white Americans quickly claimed land and would move the Plains Indians around as they saw fit, usually affected by where gold had recently been discovered. This culminated in putting the Native Americans on reservations. In many of the agreements and treaties signed over land the settlers would claim never to go back on their promises “as long as grass grew” and “the mountains stood”. Breaking the promises would have shown the Native Americans that the settlers thought little of their intelligence, and also would instil a lack of trust in the settlers, as now every apparently solemn vow to not attack certain areas or to treat the Plains Indians better etc.
The fed has to set a lower reserve requirement, which allows banks to loan out more money, which generates more interest, which could lead to periods of inflation and could have worse consequences if the government does not react quickly enough. Inflation would decrease the purchasing power of an individual's money, which would lead to more saving and less spending. (Fried) Less spending would mean less money being injected into the circular flow of our economy and would lead to economic crisis. However, many critics also use this to determine how national debt does not have a huge impact on the economy. A huge national debt has no effect on the money market.
The cigarette industry also relies on the printing media to advertise its product. Smoking has become influential to both teens and adults due to many different forms of advertising. Up until 1971, cigarettes had been advertised like all other products, but health concerns led to a government-imposed ban on broadcast advertising. In April of 1970, congress passed the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act, which banned the advertisement of cigarettes on radio and T.V. It also required a stronger health warning on cigarette packages, saying “Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined that Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health”.
He illustrates that the mercy of helping many people may make catastrophes occur. In addition, the author highlights that prosperity people gaining is the exchange of dwindling of the natural resources from the earth. Moreover, he uses the yearly increasing population as an example implying that people should not share the resource to the poor people. Hardin identifies that the population in the poor countries is a huge global problem because the reproduction isn’t under control of the government. He logically acknowledges that mutual ruin will occur inevitably because people would like to share resources with others for being humane.
The Iran hostage crisis, referred to within Iran in Persian as تسخیر لانه جاسوسی امریکا (literally "Conquest of the American Spy Den,"), was a diplomatic crisis between Iran and the United States. Fifty-two American diplomats and citizens were held hostage for 444 days (November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981), after a group of Iranian students, belonging to the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line, who were supporting the Iranian Revolution, took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. [1] President Jimmy Carter called the hostages "victims of terrorism and anarchy," adding that "the United States will not yield to blackmail. "[2] The crisis was described by the western media as an entanglement of "vengeance and mutual incomprehension. "[3] In Iran, the hostage taking was widely seen as a blow against the United States and its influence in Iran, its perceived attempts to undermine the Iranian Revolution, and its longstanding support of the recently overthrown Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
