Answer:

Correct answer is A. Chinese weapons were no match for British gunboats.

Explanation:

Hello!

Between 1839 and 1842 there was the first Opium War, in which the armies of the Chinese Empire and the United Kingdom clashed.

The main reason for the war was economic, since China demanded payment in silver for its products, without demanding products from the United Kingdom.  This commercial relationship caused economic deficit for the United Kingdom, so the British began to introduce opium to China from their plantations in India.

Thanks to its naval superiority, British Navy forced China to surrender. On August 29, 1842, both empires signed the treaty of Nanjing, which marked the end of the war.

grigory [225]

A great example of this is the painting The Flagellation of Christ by Piero della Francesca (1415-1492). It is a very good illustration of the Golden Rule (Rule of thirds): an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject. The Golden Rule was invented in Ancient Greece which shows that the painter was not only knowledgeable in Classical Culture but that he wanted to emulate it in his work and us its techniques. Additionally, the very lucid perspective of the painting which is quite realistic is also in rupture with the flatter medieval perspective that was the norm until then. Della Francesca's painting was considered scandalous in his time because the 3 dignitaries are not only much bigger than Christ being flogged but are also positioned in the foreground and occupy the main intersections of the golden ration rectangle. This was a breaking change of philosophy since giving human beings the most important compositional place within the frame expresses a humanist view. The Christ, who is much smaller and put on the background, symbolizes the reduced place of religion in society, a stark contrast with the ideology of the Middle Ages.

Why did President Truman decide to use atomic bombs against Japan in 1945?
sleet_krkn [62]
<span>President Truman decided to use the bomb for many reasons. Having not knowledge about the existence of the bomb until his presidency, he saw it as a new weapon developed by the US and that should be used for that purpose. Secondly, Truman wanted to avoid an invasion of Japan because it would be extremely costly, difficult, and simply horrible. It also meant the loss of many more American lives since the Japanese attacks were so brutal. Truman hoped that the use of the bomb would and it's astonishing effects would be enough for Japan to surrender and they would not have to invade them. Lastly, Truman wanted to use it to show the soviets of it's power for post world war II policies. I personally believe that Truman did the right thing. It was evident in all the battles in the pacific that Japan was extremely stubborn and would do anything but admit defeat. Just taking over the underpopulated islands on the way to Japan was very difficult because of the Japanese's tireless efforts. I think that the only way to make them surrender was to scare them into a surrender. The back and forth combat wasn't completely useless but exhausting and would make the war last longer than needed.The Japanese were so focused on fighting and trying to harm us, that they trained their soldiers to die in the desperate kamikaze attacks. I really don't think that invading their homeland would lead to a surrender or end to the war. Not only would they not surrender, but many american lives would be lost in the process unnecessarily. The bomb was ready, and functional.</span>
