Women gained the right to vote in the United States in 1920 with the ratification of the 19th amendment. After World War I ended, a new type of carefree woman, called flappers, emerged in both the United States and Great Britain. Flappers wore makeup, short skirts, bobbed hair, and engaged in activities like smoking and drinking in public. The Equal Rights Amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1923 to guarantee equal rights for both men and women. Higher education for women also increased dramatically in the 1920s, with the percentage of college degrees earned by women rising from 19% to 39% in less than a decade.

Unit 3 notes 1
The document outlines the key events of Reconstruction from 1865 to 1877. It describes Andrew Johnson's lenient presidential reconstruction plan, which pardoned many Confederates. It sparked conflict with Radical Republicans in Congress who wanted to address the needs of freed slaves and destroy the political power of former slaveholders. Congress attempted to pass the Freedmen's Bureau Act and Civil Rights Acts of 1866 to assist freed slaves, but both were vetoed by Johnson. This led to congressional reconstruction and the drafting of the 14th Amendment guaranteeing citizenship and equal protection under the law. Johnson was eventually impeached by the House but acquitted by the Senate.
Unit 2 notes 2
The document summarizes key events and developments during the American Civil War. It discusses the Emancipation Proclamation that freed slaves in Confederate states and allowed African Americans to join the Union army. It also describes how the Confederacy and Union implemented conscription and dealt with dissenters. The economies of the North and South were affected differently, with the Union economy strengthening due to factories supplying the war effort while the Confederacy struggled with shortages and a weakened economy due to the loss of resources to the war and Union blockade of ports.
Genocide In Cambodia
The Khmer Rouge seized control of Cambodia in 1975, renaming it Democratic Kampuchea. Led by Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge sought to create an agrarian socialist society and persecuted those deemed "tainted" by Western ideas like doctors, lawyers, and former military. Over four years, their policies of forced labor, starvation, and torture in communal living arrangements led to over 1.7 million deaths before Vietnam invaded and removed them from power in 1979. While called a genocide by some, others label it an "auto-genocide" as it targeted Cambodian society broadly rather than a specific group.
Unit 3 notes 3
After the Civil War, former slaves went back to working in the fields through exploitative systems like sharecropping and tenant farming. The Ku Klux Klan emerged as a terrorist organization that used violence to intimidate blacks and Republicans in order to reinstate white supremacy and prevent blacks from voting. As scandals weakened the Republican Party's control, Democrats took back power in Southern states in the late 1870s. This ended the Reconstruction era and allowed Southern Democrats to restrict the rights of blacks through "home rule" policies.
Unit 2 notes 4
The Civil War resulted in significant political, economic, and social changes. Politically, it increased the power of the federal government and no state has attempted to secede since. Economically, the North's industry boomed while the South's economy was devastated by the loss of slavery and destruction of infrastructure. An enormous human and economic toll was taken, with over 600,000 casualties and both sides amassing over $3 billion in war debts. The war also ended slavery through the 13th amendment and impacted individuals like Clara Barton, John Wilkes Booth, and the challenges of Reconstruction.
Unit 1 notes 2
The document outlines the key differences between the North and South in the United States prior to the Civil War. The North was more urban, industrial, and had railroads, factories, immigrants, and no slavery, while the South was more rural, agricultural, relied on cotton, had little industry and railroads, few immigrants, and legal slavery. It then discusses the Compromise of 1850 which admitted California as a free state but also strengthened the Fugitive Slave Act, causing tensions over the issue of slavery in new western territories to increase.
Cambodian genocide
The Cambodian Genocide occurred from 1975-1979 when the Khmer Rouge led by Pol Pot took control of Cambodia and attempted to transform it into an agrarian socialist society. They forcibly evacuated cities and forced the population to work on collective farms, resulting in mass starvation, disease, and executions that killed an estimated 1.4-2.2 million Cambodians, around 20-30% of the population. The Khmer Rouge's radical policies and brutal executions were ended when Vietnam invaded Cambodia and ousted Pol Pot in 1979.
Politics 1920s
The 1920s in America saw significant social and economic changes. After World War I, the US experienced a period of isolationism, increased nativism, and fears over communism. Congress passed quotas limiting immigration from southern and eastern Europe. The Red Scare led to discrimination against radicals. The Ku Klux Klan grew rapidly during this period. Economically, the country saw widespread labor unrest and strikes. The automobile industry boomed, profoundly transforming infrastructure and society. By the late 1920s, many Americans believed the prosperity would continue indefinitely, but some problems were emerging in businesses and agriculture. Herbert Hoover was elected president in 1928 on promises of continued prosperity.

Genocide in Cambodia
Pol Pot rose to power in Cambodia in the 1970s and imposed a brutal communist regime. He forced all citizens to work on collective farms and killed anyone who objected, including intellectuals. Pol Pot outlawed religion, closed schools and hospitals, and murdered thousands seeking to transform Cambodian society entirely. Life under the Khmer Rouge was harsh, with long labor camps that provided little food or pay, leading many to starve or fall ill with no treatment. Vietnam eventually invaded Cambodia in 1978 to remove Pol Pot's China-aligned regime, though he remained in the jungles and conflict continued for years after.
1920s transition america notes
After World War I, America saw many transitions as it moved from a rural, agricultural society to a more urban, industrial one. There was a shift from isolationism to internationalism, as well as a transition from a cash economy to one fueled by consumer credit. Socially and culturally, the country struggled with clashes between rural, traditional conservatives and urban, liberal reformers over issues like prohibition, women's changing roles, and new social norms. While some embraced modern flappers and new opportunities, others reacted by trying to preserve older values and restrict immigration and dissent. Overall, the postwar period was one of significant change and conflict as America adjusted to its new place in the world.

The legacy included greater government intervention through Keynesian economics and the beginnings of the modern welfare state.
The American Revolution
The document summarizes the key events that led to the American Revolution, including England's policy of mercantilism that caused tensions between the colonies and England. It discusses the French and Indian War, various Acts by Parliament like the Stamp Act and Intolerable Acts that imposed taxes without colonial representation. In response, the colonists formed groups like the Sons of Liberty and held protests. This led to conflicts like the Boston Massacre. The Continental Congresses were formed where the colonies began coordinating resistance and eventually declared independence in 1776.
Twenties
The 1920s was a decade of social, political, and economic change in the United States. After World War I and the Russian Revolution, there was a "Red Scare" where fear of communism led to attacks on radicals. The 1920 election saw a return to "normalcy" under Warren Harding. The decade saw rapid economic growth driven by new industries like automobiles, installment buying, and advertising. However, scandals plagued Harding's administration.

The document summarizes key events in the British colonies in North America from the 1760s to 1770s that led to increasing conflicts with Britain and the beginnings of the American Revolution. It discusses the economic hardships faced by many colonists, the British victory over the French in the French and Indian War, and the various Acts passed by the British Parliament to tax the colonies that angered colonists and challenged the idea of their rights as Englishmen. This led to acts of protest and non-cooperation by the colonists along with events like the Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party, culminating in the battles of Lexington and Concord which marked the unofficial start of the Revolutionary War.
Politics of the 1920’s

Harding, and Herbert Hoover during that decade.
U.S.2,The South And West Transformed
The document summarizes how the economy, society, and culture of the American South and West changed after the Civil War. Racism persisted against African Americans and new Jim Crow laws were established to enforce racial segregation. Native American tribes were forced onto reservations and their children were sent to boarding schools. Chinese immigrants helped build the transcontinental railroad but then faced discrimination. The Homestead Act encouraged western expansion and the era of the cowboy drove cattle from Texas to markets in the North and West. Railroads, mining, and ranching transformed the economies while racism, immigration, and conflicts with Native Americans shaped western society and culture.
Americans struggle with postwar issues
After World War I, Americans struggled with economic issues as soldiers faced unemployment and the economy slowed without wartime production. There was also social unrest as nativism and isolationism grew, fueled by fear of communism during the Red Scare and Palmer Raids. Immigrant workers like Sacco and Vanzetti faced discrimination, and quotas were established to limit immigration. Labor unrest increased as well, with major strikes in Boston and the steel industry, though unions ultimately failed to gain widespread appeal.
Uk Immigration Short
Immigration to Britain increased in the 1950s as the country sought cheap labor following World War II. Immigrants primarily came from Commonwealth countries like the West Indies and Indian subcontinent. By the 1970s, over 1.4 million non-white immigrants lived in Britain, comprising about 1/3 of the non-white population. In response to fears over mass immigration and racial tensions, the UK government passed laws in the 1960s-1970s restricting entry for non-white immigrants. Racial issues and tensions continued to be a challenge through the 1980s-2000s, with anti-discrimination legislation and a rise in asylum applications and ethnic diversity in Britain.

types of computer networks
A computer network is a collection of connected computers and devices. There are several types of computer networks including personal area networks (PANs), local area networks (LANs), campus area networks (CANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), and wide area networks (WANs). PANs connect devices in close proximity like phones and computers. LANs connect computers within a single building while CANs connect multiple LANs within a limited area. MANs connect computers within a single city or town and WANs connect LANs and MANs over a large geographical area or around the world.

Zaccius James is auditioning for the role of JA Rule in a music video recreation. He believes he is well-suited for the role because he can portray the same feelings and vibe as JA Rule in the original video. As someone who usually dresses in a stereotypical "thug" style, Zaccius feels comfortable taking on the look and wouldn't find it challenging to portray on camera.
Jebba Ali is proposed for the female lead role who evolves from a "good girl" to a "bad girl" throughout the video. She suits the role because she has a strong yet fun personality and can switch between girly and tougher styles. As someone who is phot

Google Risks Explained
Google faces competition from two main rivals - Facebook and Apple. Facebook is building a "great wall" to keep Google from accessing Facebook's user data and is focusing on personalized recommendations and connections between users. Apple is ensuring that Google cannot access its users' data on iPhones and iPads and is challenging Google's dominance of the browser market with its Safari browser only available on Apple devices. Both rivals threaten Google's main business of online advertising by controlling alternative platforms and data about users.
Stock Return Forecast - Theory and Empirical Evidence
The document discusses several models for stock return forecasting including CAPM, the Fama-French three-factor model, a four-factor model with momentum, and a five-factor model including asset growth. Empirical evidence is presented analyzing daily returns of Coca-Cola stock in 2005, finding that momentum is highly significant in predicting returns, while beta is less so. Multi-factor models, particularly the four and five-factor models, provide improved forecasting over CAPM alone, though with increasing complexity. Limitations include selection bias and issues with beta estimation.

Women 1920s
Women's roles expanded significantly during the early 20th century. During World War I, many women took jobs in factories and as nurses for the first time while men were deployed. After the war, they continued to work in greater numbers outside the home. This led to demands for better wages and women's suffrage. In 1920, the 19th amendment was passed, guaranteeing women the right to vote. In the 1920s, women gained further rights while cultural changes challenged traditional views of women's roles, as new fashions and activities made women's lives less domestic and more focused on social life and individual expression.

This document discusses the history of women's rights from the early 20th century through the late 20th century. It describes how, in the early 1900s, women in many parts of the world had very limited roles and rights. They had little access to education, employment, property rights, or suffrage. Starting around the 1920s, industrialization created more jobs for women. The women's suffrage movement gained successes in the UK, US, and other Western nations through the 1920s. World War I further opened opportunities as women took over men's civilian jobs. Advances in contraception in the 1960s increased women's control over their reproductive rights. However, equality was still lacking, and struggles continued into the late 20

Modern women
This document discusses how women's roles changed in the early 20th century, particularly after World War 1. It notes that during the war, women took on new jobs and responsibilities to support the war effort while the men were away, giving them more freedom and independence. After the war, "flappers" emerged who pushed boundaries by behaving more freely, such as cutting their hair short, wearing short skirts, smoking and drinking. The 19th amendment, which guaranteed women's right to vote, was passed in 1920 after over 70 years of campaigning by suffragists. World War 1 helped advance the cause of women's suffrage by disrupting traditional gender norms.
Women's Rights, & Gatsby (Summer 2012)
The document summarizes the history of the women's suffrage movement in the United States from the late 18th century to the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. It discusses early organizing efforts in the 1800s, the state-by-state fight for voting rights, and the final push to pass an amendment at the federal level during World War 1. It also notes how changing gender roles, the rise of consumerism, and women's expanding public roles contributed to the shifting social views that helped secure suffrage.
Women in the 1920s
In the 1920s, women's fashion and hairstyles changed dramatically. Hemlines rose to the knee, corsets were abandoned, and short bobbed hair became very popular. The "flapper" style emerged, characterized by short skirts, visible stockings, makeup, and short hair. Flappers danced provocatively and smoked and drank in public, challenging social norms. Careers also opened up for women in fashion design, hairdressing, and dance performances like the Rockettes. Broadway and jazz music provided opportunities for women's self-expression and rebellion through dance. Overall, the 1920s saw women gaining newfound independence and social freedoms through fashion, hairstyles, careers, and public behaviors.
Women in the late 1800’s
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, women continued to perform most domestic duties at home but began shopping more rather than making goods themselves. Nearly 2 million women aged 16-24 worked outside the home, usually earning much less than men. Careers and marriage were seen as incompatible. Some women engaged in civil disobedience like picketing and voting illegally to push for women's suffrage. The National American Woman Suffrage Association advocated for constitutional amendments guaranteeing women the right to vote. The 19th amendment, which passed in 1920, guaranteed women the right to vote. During WWI, women contributed to the war effort through jobs, bond campaigns, and rationing. In the 1920s, some women adopted the "

The hoover dam 3
The Hoover Dam was constructed between 1921 and 1935 at a cost of $49 million. It stands 726 feet tall and required over 3.25 million cubic yards of concrete. To prevent cracking as the concrete cured, it was poured in stages with steel pipes circulating cold water. This created Lake Mead behind the dam. When completed in 1935, it was the largest dam in the world and harnesses the Colorado River to generate electricity through 17 turbines.
Prohibition2
Prohibition was the banning of alcoholic beverages in the United States from 1920 to 1933 as a result of the 18th Amendment. Temperance movements in the 1800s led to the Lever Food and Fuel Control Act in 1917 temporarily banning breweries and distilleries during World War I. The 18th Amendment permanently banned the sale and production of alcohol nationwide in 1920 in hopes of improving health and reducing crime. However, people broke this law by making homemade liquor, frequenting underground speakeasies, and smuggling alcohol from Canada. Politicians and even President Harding admitted to drinking during Prohibition. The 21st Amendment in 1933 repealed the 18th Amendment, ending the "Noble Experiment" of Prohibition
