One of the main factors which contributed to the Stock Market Crash in 1929, when the very loose regulations related to margin orders.

In financial terms, margin in an instrument which consists on depositing a collateral with a counterparty (generally the broker) to cover some of the credit risk that the depositor places to that counterparty.

In the 1920s, the mandatory requirements regarding margins were not very strict, and brokers asked investors to put in a small fraction of their own money. Leverage rates which measure the proportion of debt, reached 90% with a high frequency. Nowadays, the Federal Reserve has established the limit of 50%.

Back in 1929, when the stock market started to contract, many investors received margin calls. They had to hand in more money to their brokers, because the amounts required before were not enough and if not, their shares would be sold. Many people did not have the extra margin amounts required, their shares were sold and the market declined further. This generated more margin calls and more declines. This is why margin calls were one of the causes which triggered the Stock Market Crisis and, in turn, the Great Depression in 1929.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

Get the British to revoke their Orders in Council, which placed harsh trade restrictions on the Americans.

Get the British to stop the impressment of American sailors into the Royal Navy.

Defend Americans' rights to freedom of the seas .

Explanation:

The Impressment of Sailors

Impressment of sailors was the operation of Britain's Royal Navy of sending officers to board American ships, examine its crew, and seize the sailors that were found guilty of being runaways from British ships.

occurrences of impressment are often recognized as one of the causes of the War of 1812. And while it is true that impressment occurred on a regular basis in the first decade of the 19th century, the exercises was not always seen as a awfully significant problem.

It was widely known that vast numbers of British sailors did abandon from British warships, frequently because of the hard regulations and miserable surroundings endured by seamen in the Royal Navy.

The impressment of sailors was definitely one of the causes of the War of 1812.

Trade Restrictions of the Americans

With the early Englishmen that settled in Jamestown, Virginia, and Plymouth, Massachusetts, England did little to direct their trade. As the colonies got more prosperous, however, England began to enforce its mercantile ideologies. A string of laws were passed in 1660s known as the Navigation Acts. They were established to make the Americans depend on the manufactured products of England. The colonists, of course, were expected to buy more from England than they sold and pay the gap(difference) in gold and silver. Therefore, England forbade all non-English ships from trading with colonies.

Freedom of the seas

A challenge to the discipline of freedom of the seas arose soon after the conclusion of the revolutionary war. In 1784, American commercial shipping in the Mediterranean, lacking the shielding of he British navy, came under attack from the North African Kingdoms along what was known as the Barbary Coast.

EXCEPT

The federalists opposed the war, they viewed the war as way to further the interests of the Republicans. The federalists also feared that the war would through the nation into the arms of the Napoleon.

Which of the following reason allowed Great Britain to further its colonization in the new world

Nitella [24]

Assuming that this is referring to the same list of options that was posted before with this question, the correct response would be the "Slave trade", since this trade gave Britain a large amount of free labor with which to build settlements and extract wealth from the Caribbean in the form of sugar.
