In May and June of 1989, students in Beijing, China staged a pro-democracy demonstration in Tiananmen Square, Beijing. The Chine

se government's response shocked the world when cameras saw tanks roll into the square and fire into the crowds. Over the course of several days, hundreds were killed, injured, or arrested. The outcry here in the United States was profound. The nation, and Congress, called for a swift and strong response from the President. President Bush, however, measured his response against the United States' long-term interest in US-Sino relations, imposing sanctions, but also using diplomacy and patience to demonstrate strength and support of pro-democracy movements while not alienating the Chinese government.
Read this unclassified memo outlining the themes President Bush put forward when he sent his National Security Advisor and Deputy Secretary of State on a secret meeting with Chinese officials to assess the situation and keep lines of communication open.

What were the key points Bush wanted communicated to China? How did Bush characterize the United States' position in a way that did not alienate China?

Bush wanted china to change, and to allow democracy. However, he didn't want to "alienate" them. This meant that when he wanted to change, he helped them through the struggle to get to the finish line (democracy). If he left China on its own and restricted them, China may not have became a democratic country as it is now.

hope this helps

Answers will vary, but should focus on the fact that Bush considered the US-China relationship vital to each country's economy and to international peace. Bush communicated a tone of cautious friendship, but indicated that while the United States would respect China's handling of internal affairs, the Chinese government had to understand the internal affairs of the United States, which included support for democracy world-wide and an expectation of its president to act on it. Bush warned China, without threatening, that its response to its internal crisis would have implications for its external relations with the United States

What was the industrial revolution? Why was the northwest region of the untied states so important to the industrial revolution,
finlep [7]
The Industrial Revolution is an era of technological advancements in the united States. It led to Americans moving to cities to work in factories to manage the machines in factories. The Northwest region was important because the Transcontinental Railroad made is possible for Americans to move out west. The California Gold Rush also took place during this period. However, the heart of the Industrial Revolution took place in the Northeast because the many rivers were used for water power in the factories. Also, the soil is poor in New England, so farming was difficult and not a large industry like it was in the South. It has a lasting impact today because he revolutionized the American economy and caused a massive wave of immigration.

Nikolay [14]
Compounding is one of the challenges faced by developing countries in regards to health care. The WHO plays a big part in these challenges, because there needs to be a person or group with a stable financial situation to donate or offer help. If someone who does not have any power or money help, there is a less likely chance in making a difference in regards to the problem.

Which was a cause of the English Civil War?
laiz [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. A cause of the English Civil War was a dispute between the King and Parliament.

Explanation:

The English Civil War was the process of transition of England from an absolute monarchy to a bourgeois republic between 1640-1660, which ended with the death of Protector Cromwell and the restoration of the monarchy.

The revolution took the form of a conflict between the executive and legislative powers (the King against Parliament), resulting in a civil war, as well as a religious war between Anglicans, Catholics and the vacillating Scottish Puritans on the one hand, and English Puritans on the other.  

The first civil war began on August 22, 1642, when Charles I ordered his banner to be raised above Nottingham Castle, and the war ended in 1646, when Cromwell created the “New Model Army”, which won a decisive victory in the battle of Nesby.  

The Civil War ended in a complete victory for Parliament. The revolution paved the way for the industrial revolution in England and the capitalist development of the country.
