Explain how civil rights and liberties are limited in China
Ksju [112]
In China, a single party, the Communist party, controls the government. This means that other political parties are not allowed, and most people do not have an opportunity to participate in government. People who speak out against the government are jailed without trial, and prisoners have no rights to an attorney, a fair hearing, or an appeal. There is no freedom of the press, and the Internet is censored.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

The present-day state which was fully contained within new Netherland when the <em>Dutch surrendered the entire region</em> to the English in 1664 is:

  • New York

<h3>What is Surrender?</h3>

This refers to a process whereby one entity decides to <em>give up from its stance of belief</em> or aggression and hands over authority to a superior power.

With this in mind, we can see that when the Dutch surrendered to the English in 1664, the former name of new Netherland was changed to the name which is now known as present day New York.

Which statement describe a reason the united states entered world war l on the Allied side?
scZoUnD [109]

You didn't list choices, but the two possible answers would be:

<h2>Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare.</h2><h2>The Zimmermann Telegram revealed a German attempt to gain Mexico as an ally against the United States.</h2><h2 />

Context/detail:

Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania, which had happened in May, 1915.  When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania, 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 two years later, the Germans resumed such attacks. This inflamed public opinion against Germany once again and poised America to go to war.  

In addition, British intelligence intercepted and decoded a telegram (known as the "Zimmermann Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States.  The revelation of this plan inflamed feelings in the United States.  The telegram was sent in January, 1917.  In March, 1917, German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann admitted the telegram was, in fact, sent by his office.

In April, 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response to the Germans' submarine warfare and the Zimmermann Telegram.
