All of the following were advantages that the north had over the south in the civil war except which one? a. over 20 million people lived in the north, while only 9 million lived in the south. b. the north had far better military leadership than the south. c. the north was far more industrialized than the south. d. there were 20,000 miles of railroad track in the north, while there were only 10,000 miles in the south.

The correct answer is B. The North had not got far better military leadership than the South during the Civil War.

Explanation:

During the Civil War, the North surpassed the South in almost all aspects: it had a larger population, therefore also a larger army, and had a larger and more dynamic economy, producing industrial goods, compared to the delayed south, which only exploded its natural resources. But the South had an advantage that could match its possibilities: it had the best army generals in its favor. Robert E. Lee, Joseph E. Johnston and Raphael Semmes were three of the most recognized American military of the time, and all three joined the Confederate cause. On the Union side, only Ulysses Grant was at their height in terms of knowledge of strategy and war tactics.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.

to reform the distraught soviet union, the democratization of the communist party was promoted through party secretary mikhail gorbachev's policies of “perestroika” and “glasnost.” perestroika refers to the reconstruction of the political and economic system established by the communist party.
