How did mercantilism increase the likelihood of conflicts between European powers

History
1 answer:
USPshnik [31]4 years ago
5 0

Competition over wealth and resources--under the theory of mercantilism it was believed there was a limited amount of wealth in the world and power was given to the country that held the most wealth.


 Power and wealth are connected under the mercantilism theory. If there is only so much wealth in the world and a country must hold the most wealth to have the most power, then countries would be willing to fight each other for wealth. During the late 15th and early 15th centuries, this theory drove European countries to create colonies and trade connections with Asian Empires. In doing this they believed they were gaining power through the wealth of land and resources.

What were 3 main reasons for immigration to the UNITED STATES after world war 2?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Post-1945 immigration to the United States differed fairly dramatically from America’s earlier 20th- and 19th-century immigration patterns, most notably in the dramatic rise in numbers of immigrants from Asia. Beginning in the late 19th century, the U.S. government took steps to bar immigration from Asia. The establishment of the national origins quota system in the 1924 Immigration Act narrowed the entryway for eastern and central Europeans, making western Europe the dominant source of immigrants. These policies shaped the racial and ethnic profile of the American population before 1945. Signs of change began to occur during and after World War II. The recruitment of temporary agricultural workers from Mexico led to an influx of Mexicans, and the repeal of Asian exclusion laws opened the door for Asian immigrants. Responding to complex international politics during the Cold War, the United States also formulated a series of refugee policies, admitting refugees from Europe, the western hemisphere, and later Southeast Asia. The movement of people to the United States increased drastically after 1965, when immigration reform ended the national origins quota system. The intricate and intriguing history of U.S. immigration after 1945 thus demonstrates how the United States related to a fast-changing world, its less restrictive immigration policies increasing the fluidity of the American population, with a substantial impact on American identity and domestic policy.

What did the French and American revolutions have in common? How did they differ?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Both the American Revolution and French Revolution were the products of Enlightenment ideals that emphasized the idea of natural rights and equality. With such an ideological basis, it becomes clear when one sets out to compare the French Revolution and American Revolution that people felt the need to be free from oppressive or tyrannical rule of absolute monarchs and have the ability to live independent from such forces. The leadership in both countries at the time of their revolutions was certainly repressive, especially in terms of taxation. Both areas suffered social and economic hardships that led to the realization that something must be done to topple the hierarchy and put power back into the hands of the people.

While there are several similarities in these revolutions, there are also a few key differences. This comparison essay on the French and American Revolutions seeks to explore the parallels as well as the divisions that are present in both the American Revolution and the French Revolution. The political climate in France during its revolution was quite different than that in America simply because there was not a large war that had just ended in America (while in France the Seven Years War had nearly devastated the French monarchy’s coffers). Furthermore, although the lower and middle classes were generally the majority of the rebelling populace, there was far more upper class support for the revolution in France versus the participation of loyalists in America.

Which situation represents a business benefiting from global trade?
lisabon 2012 [21]

<em>B. A company has new multinational consumers.</em>

Explanation:

Global trade is the act where a business expands the places they trade from, which usually earns them more money and different types of goods.

<u>A. A company creates new regional jobs.</u> This is incorrect, creating regional jobs means creating jobs within a close proximity of one another, which has nothing to do with global trade.

<u>B. A company has new multinational consumers.</u> <em>This is correct</em>, if a company has multinational consumers, that means they are benefiting from global trade from other nations and creating ties to trade consistently between them.

<u>C. A company invests in several business ventures.</u> This is incorrect, this has nothing to do with global trade. We do not know if these business ventures are overseas, also investing usually is not a first-hand benefit from global trade in the first place.

<u>D. A company becomes more successful and self-reliant.</u> This is incorrect, this has nothing to do with global trade. Although many businesses become more successful with global trade, they usually don't become more self-reliant as they are now relying on numerous other multinational businesses and consumers.
