Answer:
The 20th century witnessed the birth of modern family planning and its effects on the fertility of hundreds of millions of couples around the world. In 1979, China formally initiated one of the world’s strictest family planning programs—the “one child policy.” Despite its obvious significance, the policy has been significantly understudied. Data limitations and a lack of detailed documentation have hindered researchers. However, it appears clear that the policy has affected China’s economy and society in ways that extend well beyond its fertility rate.
King James I granted The Virginia Company a royal charter for the colonial pursuit in 1606.
If we are talking about the second world war, then then answer would be that the Chinese kept the Japanese busy fighting them, and in turn, about 800,000 of their troops. This gave the Americans, who were the main force against the Japanese during this time, a little breathing room with which to continue military operations.
