The main reason why <span>Thomas Paine questioned British authority to rule the colonies in common sense was because the colonies were not allowed to have representation in Parliament, which he viewed as tyrannical. </span>
The correct answer here is the second option.
When the US helped the Panamanian people win their independence from Columbia they got the rights to build and operate the Panama Canal in perpetuity. But Panamanian people had no say in this and thus over time they wanted it back. After the riots, which were also presumably instigated by the soviet agitators, the conflict arose between Panama and the US. So, because of the riots a new deal was made.
The Fall of the Western Roman Empire (also called Fall of the Roman Empire or Fall of Rome) was the process of decline in the Western Roman Empire in which it failed to enforce its rule, and its vast territory was divided into several successor polities. The Roman Empire lost the strengths that had allowed it to exercise effective control; modern historians mention factors including the effectiveness and numbers of the army, the health and numbers of the Roman population, the strength of the economy, the competence of the Emperor, the religious changes of the period, and the efficiency of the civil administration. Increasing pressure from "barbarians" outside Roman culture also contributed greatly to the collapse. The reasons for the collapse are major subjects of the historiography of the ancient world and they inform much modern discourse on state failure.[1][2]
Relevant dates include 117 CE, when the Empire was at its greatest territorial extent, and the accession of Diocletian in 284. Irreversible major territorial loss, however, began in 376 with a large-scale irruption of Goths and others. By 476 when Odoacer deposed the Emperor Romulus, the Western Roman Emperor wielded negligible military, political, or financial power and had no effective control over the scattered Western domains that could still be described as Roman. Invading "barbarians" had established their own power in most of the area of the Western Empire. While its legitimacy lasted for centuries longer and its cultural influence remains today, the Western Empire never had the strength to rise again.
The Fall is not the only unifying concept for these events; the period described as Late Antiquity emphasizes the cultural continuities throughout and beyond the political collapse.
<span>The arrival of Europeans in Africa led to the dismantling of old cultural patterns and produced the introduction of new cultures and cultural exchange. Africa faces a new position of customs and traditions that enter with the colonizers and is reflected in the new traditions. However, after the process of decolonization of Africa, it is possible to recover old and own cultures.</span>
