Answer:

A. The height of a region in relation to sea level

Explanation:

Altitude is the height of a region in relation to sea level, the highest the altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure, meaning that there will be fewer oxygen molecules and it may cause serious problems to our health. Although most humans live in regions relatively close to the sea level and can not be in regions of 4,900 ft altitudes for long without getting affected, there are certain human populations that have acquired the ability to live normally in high altitudes, such as in the case of people living in Tibet, Asia, people living in the Andes, South America, and those living in Ethiopia, Africa.

Was the British colonization of India a force for evil or was it a force for good?​
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Northern Ireland (importing Protestant Scots...why?)  

South Africa (1st concentration camps to contain Boers in 2nd war)  

India (salt tax, EIC financing local wars using revenue from the Bengal Presidency, buying Indian cotton--preventing textile industry in India--selling finished cloth back to India, administrating Muslim, Hindu, and Sikh populations in the same colony)  

China (importing opium from India -- only Communists fixed problem by executing addicts)  

Australia/United States (used to dump unwanted Brits, handing out smallpox-ridden blankets to Native Americans)  

Africa (like India...administrating hostile tribes into same colony & buying raw products--selling finished products to colony, pivotal actor in the 'Scramble for Africa')  

Trading allegiance for support for both the state of Israel AND Palestine at the same time (1915)  

Anglicizing strategic locations (Gibraltar, Falklands, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc. to the consternation of nearby nations)  

AND finally, why are there so many artifacts from other countries in British museums?  

Good? Hmm...the only thing I can think of is positive byproducts (modernization or military/economic assistance today, mediation in political conflicts) of the damage caused in the past.  

Now, many of the evils perpetuated upon the world by Great Britain have been copied, or initiated by others (Imperial China, France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Russia, Ottomans, Austro-Hungaria, United States, Japan, Communist China, etc.)

According to the map, what was Italy’s status in 1871?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Correct answer:  

<h2>Italy was fully united.</h2>

Explanation:

You didn't attach a map, so I've done so below (map credit: <em>AgeofTheSage.org</em>).

All of Italy had been unified by 1871.  

Giuseppe Mazzini (1805-1872) had been an early promoter of the cause of Italian nationalism during the 19th century, at a time when the Italian peninsula was divided into many smaller entities.  He founded the group known as Young Italy and was a major figure in the Italian unification movement known as "Risorgimento" ("rising again").  He was a strong voice calling for all Italians to unite together in a republic.

The actual unification process came toward the end of Mazzini's life, led by political and military figures.

Count Camillo di Cavour was prime minister of the Kingdom of Piedmont/Sardinia, serving under King Victor Emmanuel II.  Cavour and King Victor Emmanuel II led the cause of unification from the north of Italy, working southward.  

Giuseppe Garibaldi was a revolutionary military leader who recruited an army and led the battle for unification, starting in Sicily and southern Italy and working northward.  Garibaldi ultimately turned over the territories he conquered to Victor Emmanuel II, so that Italy could become united.

The last part of Italy to annexed were the Papal States, and that happened by a referendum vote of the people there, in 1870.
