The correct answer is wealthy or rich.

In America during the Articles of Confederation, many public officials did not get paid. This is because the federal government lacked the ability to collect taxes from states. Without any new sources of revenue, the individuals running for public office had to be people who were willing to work without a guaranteed salary. Only the most wealthy citizens were able to do this, as a majority of Americans would not survive without some sort of compensation.

How did the end of the Civil war affect the cattle industry in Texas?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Most of the fighting had taken place in the south, and this left the economy and cattle industry in ruins. Herds had been left un-managed during the war and had become half-wild by the time it had ended. Furthermore, the ruined economy meant there was little demand for expensive beef.

Japan's only chance was the element of surprise and to destroy America's navy as quickly as possible. Japan wanted to move into the Dutch East Indies and Malaya to conquer territories that could provide important natural resources such as oil and rubber.

War between Japan and the United States had been a possibility that each nation's military forces planned for in the 1920s, though real tension did not begin until the 1931 invasion of Manchuria by Japan.

Why where the russians ready to revolt in 1917?
algol13
There were many reasons. The country was in extreme poverty, there was starvation everywhere and people were dying in misery. They wanted to change the imperialistic rule and impose their own bolshevik rule. People also wanted to end their participation in the war which is one of the first things that happened after the revolution. The communists left the war before the war ended.
