Jim knows he only has a few moments to decide what to do when they are all going to be swept away by the waves.
He remembers that in the Admiral Benbow Inn, the wall in Captain Smollett's room had a light cord and he recalls the captain mentioning it was put there in case of emergencies. Jim instinctively recognizes this opportunity and grabs onto the cord, hoping it will be strong enough to pull them away from the rushing waves.
The cord miraculously provides Jim and his companions with the help they need and they eventually make it to shore safely.Jim's quick thinking and quick actions saved everyone from an almost certain death.

What did the town look like before the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki? (3 - 5 sentences) No links!!!!! Plz answer :)
Answer:
The city of Hiroshima is located on the broad, flat delta of the Ota River, which has 7 channel outlets dividing the city into six islands which project into Hiroshima Bay. The city is almost entirely flat and only slightly above sea level; to the northwest and northeast of the city some hills rise to 700 feet. A single hill in the eastern part of the city proper about 1/2 mile long and 221 feet in height interrupted to some extent the spreading of the blast damage; otherwise the city was fully exposed to the bomb. Of a city area of over 26 square miles, only 7 square miles were completely built-up. There was no marked separation of commercial, industrial, and residential zones. 75% of the population was concentrated in the densely built-up area in the center of the city.
Hiroshima was a city of considerable military importance. It contained the 2nd Army Headquarters, which commanded the defense of all of southern Japan. The city was a communications center, a storage point, and an assembly area for troops. To quote a Japanese report, "Probably more than a thousand times since the beginning of the war did the Hiroshima citizens see off with cries of 'Banzai' the troops leaving from the harbor."
The center of the city contained a number of reinforced concrete buildings as well as lighter structures. Outside the center, the area was congested by a dense collection of small wooden workshops set among Japanese houses; a few larger industrial plants lay near the outskirts of the city. The houses were of wooden construction with tile roofs. Many of the industrial buildings also were of wood frame construction. The city as a whole was highly susceptible to fire damage.
Some of the reinforced concrete buildings were of a far stronger construction than is required by normal standards in America, because of the earthquake danger in Japan. This exceptionally strong construction undoubtedly accounted for the fact that the framework of some of the buildings which were fairly close to the center of damage in the city did not collapse.
The population of Hiroshima had reached a peak of over 380,000 earlier in the war but prior to the atomic bombing the population had steadily decreased because of a systematic evacuation ordered by the Japanese government. At the time of the attack the population was approximately 255,000. This figure is based on the registered population, used by the Japanese in computing ration quantities, and the estimates of additional workers and troops who were brought into the city may not be highly accurate. Hiroshima thus had approximately the same number of people as the city of Providence, R.I., or Dallas, Tex.
Nagasaki
Nagasaki lies at the head of a long bay which forms the best natural harbor on the southern Japanese home island of Kyushu. The main commercial and residential area of the city lies on a small plain near the end of the bay. Two rivers divided by a mountain spur form the two main valleys in which the city lies. This mountain spur and the irregular lay-out of the city tremendously reduced the area of destruction, so that at first glance Nagasaki appeared to have been less devastated than Hiroshima

1-How did the Second World War shift the focus of the global story you've learned so far?
The Second World War shift the focus of the global story which we have learnt so far. While Europe remained significant, the world's attention turned elsewhere. Six years of warfare and tremendous death tolls from both war and genocide had decimated the major European governments. Outside of Europe, the two main powers that emerged from the conflict were the United States and the Soviet Union.
What happened after the Second World War?Historians often characterize the events of the half-century or so following the end of World War II in 1945 using two distinct techniques. The first was the Cold War, during which the United States and the Soviet Union led opposing coalitions that clashed everywhere. The second was decolonization, as people in colonies around the world sought independence and to establish their own nation-states.
At the end of the war, millions of people had died and millions more had been rendered homeless, the European economy had collapsed, and much of Europe's industrial infrastructure had been devastated. The Soviet Union has also suffered greatly.
Therefore, there was the rise of the two super powers the United States and the Soviet Union that shifted the focus of the global story from Europe to the other parts of the world.

Explique las razones de la neutralidad de estados unidos durante las décadas de 1920 y 1930. ¿Cómo cambiaron las ideas sobre la neutralidad durante el periodo desde el final de la primera guerra mundial hasta la aprobación de la ley de préstamo y alquiler ?
Answer:
Estados Unidos fue neutral durante la década de 1920 y de 1930 por varias razones, entre ellas:
-Si bien la incursión en la primera guerra mundial fue exitosa, no dejó de representar un gran gasto para el país, un enorme costo de vidas humanas, en una guerra que se libró principalmente en Europa, esto hizo que Estados Unidos no quisiera repetir la misma experiencia dos veces.
-Durante los años 20 la economía entró en un boom largamente impulsado por políticas monetarias expansivas de la Reserva Federal. Cuando la burbuja estalló en 1929, el país entró en una grave depresión económica durante los años 30, lo cual dificultaba la consideración de asuntos de política internacional.
-Una vez comenzó la segunda guerra mundial en Europa, Estados Unidos intentó no hacer parte del conflicto, debido a lo costo que éste podría ser, recordando la experiencia de la primera guerra mundial. No obstante, al final el envolvimiento en dicha guerra fue ineludible, debido en especial a la hostilidad que presentaba la Alemania Nazi frente al país. Esta es la principal razón por la que el congreso decidió aprobar la ley de préstamo y alquiler con el fin de ayudar a la Unión Soviética en su lucha contra los nazis.
