After the end of WWII, two main political blocs were conformed in the world, the Western bloc (USA being the main representative along with its European allies), and the Eastern bloc (the USSR and its satellite states, such as Poland, East Germany, and Romania).

As for the Eastern Bloc, the Soviet control and the government in each of these satellite states was fluctuating and changing, but however dissimilar they may have been, they all shared the commonality of being under the general and widespread control of the Soviets and within their borders (as is the case of Poland, East Germany, and Romania), strong governmental control, motivated by the USSR, was exercised in detriment of their populations. This all came to change after the fall of the USSR in 1991.  

the main inference that can be drawn from jean jacques rousseau's book the social contract is: a. people can enjoy civil and physical freedom, even if it sometimes harms society.

the assassination of president lincoln was just one part of a larger plot to decapitate the federal government of the u.s. after the civil war. the first reaction to lincoln’s death was disbelief. then it quickly changed to grief. abraham lincoln’s death created an outpouring of grief from citizens in both the north and the south.

explanation:

lincoln was the first u.s. president to be assassinated. president abraham lincoln, america’s civil war leader, was assassinated just five days after confederate general robert e. lee surrendered his army at appomattox court house, ending the four-year war between the states. on the evening of april 14, 1865, lincoln was attending a performance of our american cousin at ford’s theatre in washington, d.c. john wilkes booth – a 26-year old actor, confederate sympathizer, and white supremacist – slipped into the presidential box and shot lincoln in the head. john wilkes booth and his conspirators had initially planned to kidnap lincoln to save the confederate states. but as the confederacy faltered, booth’s thoughts turned to murder. booth may have decided to act on his hatred after lincoln endorsed giving the right to vote to african-american men who had served in the union army.
