Explanation:
The reclamation Act was passed in 1902 and financially assisted the irrigation projects for lands of West America. It covered thirteen lands excluding Texas. The act basically set aside the money received from the sale of less fertile and dry public lands to construct and maintain irrigation projects. The irrigated lands would be sold and the money would be used for funding more such projects. The act led to the created United States Reclamation service. Due to this act the western regions became major agricultural areas of the west. Many dams were built and those dams harnessed the water of Colorado, Columbia, Missouri and Rio Grande systems.
Answer:
Treaty of Nanjing, (August 29, 1842) treaty that ended the first Opium War, the first of the unequal treaties between China and foreign imperialist powers. China paid the British an indemnity, ceded the territory of Hong Kong, and agreed to establish a “fair and reasonable” tariff. British merchants, who had previously been allowed to trade only at Guangzhou (Canton), were now permitted to trade at five “treaty ports” and with whomever they pleased (see Canton system). The treaty was supplemented in 1843 by the British Supplementary Treaty of the Bogue, which allowed British citizens to be tried in British courts and granted Britain any rights in China that China might grant to other countries.
