It was a oil-exporting nation and it lost too much of an important resource, thus crippling the economy.

The "Oil Glut" of the 1980s was a surplus of oil supply caused by the reduced demand due to the 1970s Energy Crisis. After reaching a historical peak of $35 in 1980, the price of the oil barrel would sharply fall from $27 to less than $10 in 1986 due to the excess in the offer. This would severely affect the economic wealth of the Oil producing countries, such as the Soviet Union. This event would be one of the main factors that contributed to an eventual fall of the Soviet regime and dissolution of the country in 1991.

Give one argument in favor of the Tea act and one argument against the Tea act?
Ivahew [28]
The Tea Act would serve as to limit enforced inflation on tea stock internationally due to eased export, as well as to aid financially crippled British East India Company.
The Tea Act would also lead to tea prices being unfairly regionally based, rather than fairly marketed. Increased company profits don't necessarily stimulate economy.

why were pregnant women weak individuals and the sick the first to be executed in the Nazi concentration camps
ddd [48]

After deportation trains arrived at the killing centers, guards ordered the deportees to get out and form a line. The victims then went through a selection process. Men were separated from women and children. A Nazi, usually an SS physician, looked quickly at each person to decide if he or she was healthy and strong enough for forced labor. This SS officer then pointed to the left or the right; victims did not know that individuals were being selected to live or die. Babies and young children, pregnant women, the elderly, the handicapped, and the sick had little chance of surviving this first selection.
