Answer:

The correct answer is D. The desire to build a transcontinental railroad led to the passing of the Kansas-Nebraska Act.

Explanation:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act was a law drafted by Stephen A. Douglas, Illinois Democratic senator and president of the Senate Committee for the Territories, and approved by the United States Congress in 1854. It represented a crucial point among the events that led to the Civil War.

In that year, Congress wanted to design a transcontinental railroad to the Pacific. Stephen A. Douglas, as an Illinois senator, wanted it to pass through Chicago, but the Southerners protested, insisting that it should pass from California through Texas to New Orleans. Douglas then decided to compromise and presented the Kansas-Nebraska Act: in exchange for the passage of the railroad to Chicago, he proposed the organization of those territories in two new states: Kansas and Nebraska.

What was a major issue that led to the crimean war 1.1.5?
blagie [28]

Ottoman/Russian Balance of Power.

(There were a number of causes for the Crimean War. None of them particularly good. A conflict between Catholic and Orthodox Christians concerning access to the Holy places in Palestine was one. Arguably this was about Ottoman treatment of Orthodox Christians in Ottoman territory which was a concern to Russia. Inept negotiation made the situation worse.


The major players were Britain, France, and Turkey on one side and Russia on the other. Austria played an important diplomatic role. A since extinct country of Piedmont/Sardinia also sent troops.


Russia lost but the bungling on both sides made the war a gong show from the beginning. Arguably the the issues at stake had been decided before the Crimean portion of the conflict even started. The War was by then pointless homicidal idiocy.


It was an important precursor in the next balance of power moves that created Italy and Germany.)

What factors in russia contributed to the eventual revolution?
nadezda [96]
Three of the factors in Russia which fostered the revolution of 1917 were the impoverishment of the peasants who struggled to survive on their small plots of land and to pay the debts they owed to buy their land after the serf system was changed; many peasants who couldn't make a go of it fled to the cities and took part in the local industrial revolution but were oppressed by inadequate wages and poor working conditions and lastly WWI resulted in the poor masses in Russia being used as canon fodder in an unjust imperialist war to divide up the world differently unlike WWII which was to end the Nazi tyrrany.

Why did the Ottoman Empire not engage in industrialization until many years after the Industrial Revolution had begun in Western
inysia [295]
The main reason was that the Ottoman empire was in very slow decline during these years; when other major European powers were starting to industrialize themselves. Because the Ottoman Empire couldn't keep up ,they suffered the consequences in the form of a later period of industrialization.
