    That one is actually a deceptive question. The Italian people welcomed the allied troops as liberators and the US viewed Russia as a clear enemy (they were allies in name only, really) as both sides marched towards Berlin and Russia was annexing everything they could. So, yes the textbook answer is Russia because they were one of the Allied powers, but just before the end of the war allegiances changed.

Despite being reluctantly allied with Stalin and supporting the war on the eastern front via Lend-Lease, the US (and UK) was very wary of Stalin, especially after the Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam Conferences as the war began to draw to a close (there was the whole business about Truman deciding to proceed with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in part as a show of force to keep Stalin from interfering in the Pacific theater, as well as Patton wanting to continue pushing eastward beyond Berlin because of his distrust of the Red Army, etc.) It’s also a trick question due to semantics-“Russia” didn’t exist at the time, but the Soviet Union did.

    @Alexi marchenko Even if that passionate, at best, opinion (spiteful at worst), were true, those two things are not mutually exclusive. They could be turncoats and welcome the Allies as liberators. But I'm hesitant to call them turncoats since Italian participation with the Axis was top down. Any favor towards the war early on by the people I would argue to be mob mentality, but the view changed quickly as things progressed. I would support your opinion if it's towards Mussolini's government and military command, but not if it includes the general population.

I'm sure that, if Millie went through the classes necessary before taking the Citizenship test, she'd do splendidly. And congrats on knowing these things. I'll pretty consistently miss one.

She is now a US citizen (maybe dual citizenship, not sure) and is arguably more patriotic (about USA) than most natural born US citizens. With right hand over her heart she stands for every performance of the National Anthem and throws dagger eyes at any and all who are not on their feet with hand over heart as well. In my humble opinion, the biggest problem with the public education system here in the US is it's inability to get students to want to learn. Anything in the world that grabs your attention you will want to learn all you can about it. This means the vast majority of people are capable of learning a great deal about any subject. We simply need to find a way to grab every student's attention, interest and imagination for each subject. I had very few teachers with that ability. Unfortunately, today boys are taught the same way girls are which is the way in which girls learn/perform better. I could spend hours in this but I need to sleep.

The Korean War took place almost immediately after WWII and was the first conflict of the Cold War. It's the reason there is a North Korea and a South Korea...

    Beesley made a comment when trying to figure out what power the states had instead of the federal government. He wording implied that the federal government gives the states powers. This is not the case at all. In the US, when they wrote the Constitution in 1787, one of the main issues hindering it being ratified by the states was because for the federal government to have power the states would have to surrender certain powers to that government. Therefore, state powers are not derived from the national government, but rather the inverse is the case. Also, on the whole, government power is derived from the bottom up. In other words, government powers are derived from the people. The government's job is to guarantee the people's rights, not to give the people rights as is done in England with power derived from the monarch and rights given to the people via Parliament. This is a key difference between a republican government and a constitutional monarchy.

    Before you take another test, you need to watch some of the "School House Rock" videos. As a child in the 70's that's how we learned our American history and government, "No More King", "The Shot Heard Around the World", "The Preamble", "I'm Just a Bill", "The Great American Melting Pot", "Elbow Room", ....they had ones on science and english as well.

They sided with neither the British or the new American country. Vermont became part of the USA in 1791. Texas and Hawaii were also seperate countries prior to becoming states.

Typically you will here these all lumped under "freedom of speech" but those are the 5 components of what is considered speech in the constitution. You guys should have definitely known who Eisenhower was, or at least have known that he was supreme allied commander in WW2...a fact that your Montgomery was not too pleased about lol. Maybe it's because in the UK you have a lot more history to cover, from Rome, the Viking age, the Norman Conquest, etc. but I'm honestly suspired that you didn't learn more about WW2 in school. Invading Italy was actually Churchill's idea. I have to ask, not sounding to be rude, but do you know who Mussolini was?

I'd imagine that most Americans, if they had to take the UK test, would do far worse than you did with ours. And yeah, the Secretary of State one can be confusing. A lot of people don't know this so don't feel too bad but by definition, state just means a nation with a government so for example, Germany is a state in the EU (cus Germany has its own government) or Florida is a state in the US (cus Florida has its own State government).
