<em><u>The significance of the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842 was that Europeans forced the Chinese to sign it, ending the first Opium War. </u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

Further Explanations:

The “Treaty of Nanjing” was the last treaty of the Opium war that marked the end of the war. It was signed amid Britain and China on 29th August 1842. The treaty comprises 13 clauses being ratified by the Daoguang Emperor on 27th October of which one copy was given to the British government and another to the Department of Foreign concerns of the Republic of China.

The whole conflict started when the government in china banned Opium trade and threatened to execute the culprit involved in the illegal trade. Most of the trade through Opium was under British control and they took it as a threat by Chinese that initiated the conflict amid the British and the Chinese.

The treaty led to the institution of the Crown society of “Hong Kong” which was in the authority of Britain until 1997. The formation of Hong Kong” and the intercontinental zone in Shanghai was a major development of the British policy.

Explain which theory the author supports: humans built the pyramids or aliens built the pyramids. Support your answer with valid
k0ka [10]

The egyptologist Mark Lehner, an associate of Harvard's Semitic Museum, supports that the pyramids were built by humans.

According to National Geographic,  there’s ample evidence that these tombs are the work of thousands of earthly hands.

There is archaeological evidence of their construction: remains of the quarries, roads, tools, records of the workers and the towns in which they lived.

Pyramid building was a long and complex process. The Great Pyramid is composed of roughly 2,300,000 blocks and was likely built in 23 years or less . The Egyptians were careful and precise architectural planners.

There is actually a lot of evidence of the ordinary people who performed the building work, who weren’t aliens, but most definitely Egyptian. The work force was organized by crews. Each gang was divided into five groups of 200 men called zaa, also known by the Greek name ‘phyle’. Within each phyle were ten divisions of twenty men. The gangs seems to have been competitive  and they actually graffitied their names on the buildings! The stones from some  pyramids have  hieroglyphs inscribed on them as notes which consist of the date of transport, the workmen in charge of the block, and the stage of transport.

Which of the following is the BEST explanation for government regulation of the public utilities market? The isolated location m
andrey2020 [161]

The best explanation for government regulation of the public utility market is:

The government wishes to reward the technological innovation of the utility providers with guarantees of limited competition.


The government regulates the public utility market because the sources used are a basic need for population, such as water and electricity, and should be in the public government control. As the company which works with that specific source, not the government, is investing in technological innovation, it is offered to them a limited competition as an incentive to keep the investment in technological innovation to offer to the population better services.
