What events or historical forces contributed to the Boston busing crisis of the mid-1970s? Name at least three, and briefly explain why you think each one was a contributory cause of the Boston busing crisis?

1. the struggle for voting rights

2. de facto school segregation

3. quality of public schools in black neighborhood

Explanation:

1. the struggle for voting right: this was a struggle between de jure segregation that existed in just one part of the country (the states of the old south). but the problem of de facto segregation was one that existed throughout the country, and its effects perhaps seen most clearly in nation's public schools

2. de facto school segregation: several supreme court cases in the early 1960s made it clear that de facto school segregation was unlawful and that segregated schools would be integrated by court order if necessary. in early 1970s, court began requiring school plans, which would send African-American students to largely white schools and send withe students to largely African-American schools, as a means of achieving greater racial balance

3. quality of public schools in black neighborhood: in Boston, African-American community began protesting the quality of public schools in largely black neighborhoods in the early 1960s. in 1965, in response to federal investigation of possible segregation in the Boston public schools, the Massachusetts legislature passed a Racial imbalance act. the new law outlawed segregation in Massachusetts schools and threatened to cut off state funding for any school district that did not comply.

explanation:

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
