Rapid economic development produced vast prosperity during the Gilded Age. New crops and machineries were improved which made a large influence to the quality of life of the middle-class. However, the workers and farmers did not share with the wealth, which led to working overtime with not enough income. The rapid growth in their personal wealth was attained when the collection of income tax was halted.

How did the roosevelt corollary differ from the monroe doctrine?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The Monroe doctrine stated that the U.S. should use military force to prevent any form of intervention from an European power in the western hemisphere.

The Roosevelt corollary was different in that it allowed European powers to intervene as long as the intervention was considered justified, but not to invade.

This difference became clear during the Venezuelan crisis of 1902-1903, when Germany, Britain, and Italy imposed a naval blockade on Venezuela because the Venezuela president refused to pay for the damages suffered by European citizens during the recent civil war.

At first, Theodore Roosevelt allowed the blockade to continue because he believed that it was justified, but when Germany threatened to invade Venezuela, he intervened sending a fleet under Admiral George Dewey.

What religious, social, and political developments that accompanied urbanization from 3500 to 2000 BCE .
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The greatest technological development of this time was irrigation. Originally the Mesopotamia’s’ believed their sole purpose was to serve the gods and provide them with luxuries such as fine clothes and lodging. Their communities consisted of 35 politically equal cites with religious sanctuaries. All cities were known as spiritual and economic. Social hierarchies began to grow, separating the privileged, and the less privileged. The Sumerians and the Akkadians believed in a group of gods that controlled everything including their political institutions. Each major god of the Sumerian pantheon lives in a luxury temple in the part of the city that he/she created, thus bettering each cities character and relationships with its neighbors. Royal palaces also revealed the power of

the elite, being the official home of the ruler and his family. Social hierarches were very important in Sumerian city-states. Ruling groups had access to economic and political resources. The kings/ priests were at the top of the list, then bureaucrats, followed by supervisors and craft workers, and traders. Movement among classes was very rare. Mesopotamia was the first to develop a complex writing system. They were the first record keepers and readers. This gave rise to written narratives. Due to rising populations,there was a lot of competition among these societies that often led to violence. The Chinese culture took a little longer to urbanize, although they eventually got there, they had some troubles in the beginning. Their animals for instance weren’t very domesticated, and deserts made it harder to migrate
