Answer:
There are whole lots of differences between the two political systems at that time. And this is largely because Igbo communities were too fragmented and each of the community was autonomous with its unique political system.
Looking at it closely, Igbo political system was acephalous. There was no specific head in most of the Igbo communities. Whereas, Yoruba political system was monocephalous. Each Yoruba community had a head — An Oba or a Baale.
Igbo people adopted gerontocracy as the Council of Elders effectively took up the functions of managing the affairs of the state. But, monarchy was in place among Yoruba people.
Unlike in Yoruba kingdoms, Igbo communities rarely had standing armies. Such arangement was usually made when there a war against an enemy.
Being a monarchy, the leadership transition was through heredity. Most times, a child of the deposed, abdicated or dead Oba succeeded him. Whereas, Igbo system was typically Republican. Neither Ofo nor Ozo title was attained through heredity, but through age and wealth.
Igbo people neither had taxation nor tribute system, but Yoruba people had a tribute system.
Unlike among the Igbo communities where each community was totally autonomous, many Yoruba kingdoms regarded Oyo as their political headquarters.
Igbo political system emphasized egalitarianism, age and persuasions; Yoruba political system was characterized by political power, legitimacy and check and balances.
There were two things, actually:
- Britain intercepted the Zimmerman Telegram
- Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare
Context/detail:
Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania -- but that happened before 1917. When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania in May, 1915, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship.
Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks. But a couple years later they resumed such attacks, and there was also an intercepted telegram (the "Zimmerman Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States.
In 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response.

Answer:
Slaves
Explanation:
To a degree, the material conditions of slave life were predetermined by the status of the slave. During the early colonial period, slaves and indentured servants enjoyed greater freedoms than black slaves would in later periods. But even then, they belonged to the lowest, poorest ranks of society. In the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, slaves were condemned to impoverishment by the law. In many colonies, slaves could not participate in wage-earning trade or labor. In others they were denied the right to own property. The slave's resulting dependence on his or her master for the most basic necessities -- food, clothing, shelter -- was integral to the preservation of the master's power and the sustaining of the slave society.
Answer:
Banning Coast lights and airplanes were used to spot U-Boats
Explanation:
British experience in the first two years of World War II, which included the massive losses incurred to their shipping during the "First Happy Time" confirmed that ships sailing in convoy — with or without escort – were far safer than ships sailing alone. The British recommended that merchant ships should avoid obvious standard routes wherever possible; navigational markers, lighthouses, and other aids to the enemy should be removed, and a strict coastal blackout be enforced. In addition, any available air and sea forces should perform daylight patrols to restrict the U-boats' flexibility.
