The Allied faction, most notably the British, has gained the upper hand during the first world war due to their acquisition of various oil fields. The oil has powered their military vehicles most notably its naval fleet and the introduction of Mark V tanks that posed significant advantage at the course of the war.

The British secured access to oil during World War I and beyond by buying a majority stake in the Turkish Petroleum Company.

During World War I, oil was an asset of vital importance to all nations. British already had control over large oil reserves in Persia, where Iran is now, and they sought to have control over as many oil reserves as possible.

What were the effects of western colonialism to the early modern period of Iran?
Debora [2.8K]
The colonial powers that strove to control Iran because of its geopolitical location were Russia and Britain. Russia controlled the north of the country while the south was under the British. The people tried to constitutionalise their country when the King repeatedly failed to deliver even though he promised to. Twice in the early modern period did Iran try to become a democracy with a constitution and rights for the people. Both times the efforts of the people were thwarted and crushed by external colonial influence. The continued interest of the Colonisers in the oil of Iran meant that they were not willing to let the people have a fair share of say or profit in the way the national resources of the country were used.

How did the Organization of African Unity (OAU) reflect the philosophy of Pan-Africanism?
icang [17]

Answer:

ok

Explanation:

The Organization of African Unity (OAU) was postcolonial Africa’s first continent-wide association of independent states. Founded by thirty-two countries on May 25, 1963, and based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, it became operational on September 13, 1963, when the OAU Charter, its basic constitutional document, entered into force. The OAU’s membership eventually encompassed all of Africa’s fifty-three states, with the exception of Morocco, which withdrew in 1984 to protest the admission of the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic, or Western Sahara. The OAU was dissolved in 2002, when it was replaced by the African Union.

The process of decolonization in Africa that commenced in the 1950s witnessed the birth of many new states. Inspired in part by the philosophy of Pan-Africanism, the states of Africa sought through a political collective a means of preserving and consolidating their independence and pursuing the ideals of African unity. However, two rival camps emerged with opposing views about how these goals could best be achieved. The Casablanca Group, led by President Kwame Nkrumah (1909–1972) of Ghana, backed radical calls for political integration and the creation of a supranational body. The moderate Monrovia Group, led by Emperor Haile Selassie (1892–1975) of Ethiopia, advocated a loose association of sovereign states that allowed for political cooperation at the intergovernmental level. The latter view prevailed. The OAU was therefore based on the “sovereign equality of all Member States,” as stated in its charter.

What changes did communism bring to life in cuba?<br> time frame is near cuban missile crisis
Alinara [238K]
The changes that communism brought to Cuba were many. For one, commercial and political relationships were broken with many nations making Cuba an ethnocentric country. In relation to the atmosphere of the Cold War, communism greatly influenced contemporary geopolitics and the timeline of the Cold War. It brought to the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear war that had become the daily fear in American society and elsewhere.

What part dd slavery play in the early settlement of the new world
shusha [124]

Answer:

Although slavery is a horrible thing, the world we know today would not be the same without it in our past. The slaves raked in most of the economy by harvesting crops, mining, and much more. They did the work nobody wanted to do.

I hope this helped!
