Printing enable the Chinese dynasties to create a large, structured government to include contracts and legal documents as well as aided in the historical development of the empires. However the first printing method was slow and limited. When the Chinese developed moveable type, printing could be sped up and increased the volume of printed materials available. This type of printing will enable the printing of books and increased educational opportunities as literacy rates increased. 
Gunpowder was initially created to be an immortality potion. Ironically it ended the life of the creator when it blew up and has since ended the lives of millions in warfare. Gunpowder was used in China for fireworks and rockets but was eventually developed to be used for weaponry including canons and guns. This will change how wars are fought throughout the world. 
The compass will allow for travel through the seas enabling the boats to arrive at a destination and return safely. The Chinese are now suspecting as being explorers centuries before the Europeans and were likely the first outsiders to encounter the western parts of the Americas. The compass will eventually make way to Europe leading to an age of exploration beginning in the 15th century. 
Steel, tea, and porcelain were marketable resources for China allowing them to create large trade networks. Steel created structures, porcelain created durable dinnerware and statues, and tea was a clean and safe drink. All of these products will help to create the Silk Road trade network as well as water-based trading enabled by the compass. 
Lastly, inoculation technology improved the health of the Chinese eradicating diseases which were still killing European populations. This technology became the basis for vaccinations which today have reduced plagues, poxes, and as well as many other deadly diseases.

The answer would be B, it favored the republicans. This was caused by over conjecture in the West and cash inflation due to the inrush of Californian gold. The North was the strongest hit, while the South kept on thriving with its cotton. Northerners concocted the possibility of the administration giving 160-section of land plots of cultivating area to pioneers for nothing.

Explain three justifications for US involvement in WWI.
CaHeK987 [17]
OK, so U.S. ties to Britain, both culturally and practically, for trade reasons, had set the stage for justification for U.S. entry into the war. When Germany refuses to stop sinking U.S. ships and tries to get Mexico to attack the States, President Woodrow Wilson goes before Congress and requests a declaration of war. But now, how does the nation wage this war?

President Wilson actually opposed a draft, but at the point the U.S. declared war there were fewer than 400,000 troops in the U.S. Army and National Guard together. They were in no way prepared for a major war. So, Congress passed the Selective Service Act on May 18, 1917. The act required men between the ages of 21 and 30 to register for the draft. In time, the age range was expanded to 18 to 45. Over 2.8 million were drafted through the war.

That summer, the new recruits, those drafted and enlisted, reported for training. The military was far from ready for them. The barracks had not been built, so soldiers had to sleep in tents. So few supplies had arrived that the soldiers had to train with sticks instead of rifles and barrels instead of horses!

It wasn't only the troops that had to be raised, it was also the funds. Most of the revenue raised was from taxes, but there was also a huge amount of push for war bonds. War bonds are used by countries to raise money for war. Essentially, they are loan notes taken out by the government from the people. In World War I the U.S. dubbed them Liberty Bonds. Many celebrities, including the likes of Charlie Chaplin, made appearances at huge public rallies selling bonds. The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts actually had a large campaign to sell bonds. Their slogan was, 'Every scout to save a soldier.'
