History

Well to put it simply, it was because it had the advantages of having thriving cities, a wealthy merchant class, and the classical heritage of Greece and Rome.

Large independent city-states in northern Italy, such as Florence, Venice, and Rome, grew wealthy through trade and banking creating a class of affluent businessmen.

Why did congress not approve joining the league of nations?
RSB [31]

Answer:

Though President Wilson firmly believed in an international body to conduct the matters of conflict between different nations by peace talks and his 'Fourteen Points' were influential in the foundation of the League of Nations, he could not rally the United States to be a member of League of Nations. Opposition came from the isolationist section who considers that Article Ten could draw the United States again into international war. Article ten required the members of the League to defend an attack on any of its member from any external threat.

Nationalism became a major force in world events in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Explain the meaning of th
Sophie [7]
Nationalism is a political principle or ideology that aims to unify the whole nation through the value of patriotism, in which each member should value the products produced by its nation, use its distinct language and never accept anything outside their sovereignty. This idea is accompanied by the belief that a certain country is far better than other countries, therefore there's a hidden idea of superiority. 

Although pride for one's nation is good; however, this principle led to discontent in the empires of the 19th and early 20th centuries due to the fact that this ideology bred the idea of racism and fascism. These ideas gave a negative impact on humanity.

The Nazi regime (1933-1945) under the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler controlled almost all the aspects of life not just to the Germans but to other races as well. This regime caused the holocaust of the early 20th century where millions of Jews and other people were killed for they were viewed as undesirable. Racism is actually the central feature of Nazi regime where Hitler viewed his country and people as the master of race and the superior of all.

The fascist government run by Benito Mussolini in Italy (1922-1943) is another example of nationalism. Fascism deals more on the economy of the country in which the government controls the private sector's factors of production, it's labor, capital goods, and natural resources. This type of government lured the masses by letting them believe that this control would give them general welfare to achieve their goals. Since the mass of people has been included, the private sector could no longer do anything to fight against the government mandated system. 

Both these two systems of governance use the idea of nationalism to override self-interests. They manipulate the mass of people to take control.

The idea of nationalism is naturally good, but the desires of men changed its purpose. It should ideally be applicable to those leaders who value humanity more than himself for this ideology breeds selfishness in the desire for power. 

Japan's nationalism over their technologies remains successful until these days because they serve the ideal purpose of nationalism, to love its own country by means of being patriotic.

AleksAgata [21]
The answer is Shay’s Rebellion, in which this spotlighted the problems of governing the new nation under the articles of confederation because neither the national government nor an individual state was strong enough to protect public or private property. In addition, this encounter in Massachusetts results in many to condemn the Articles of Confederation and acknowledge the weak central administration was not functioning. The uprising is headed by Daniel Shays in a determination to stop courts from excluding on the farms of those who cannot recompense the taxes

Based on the list of grievances, was the Revolutionary War justified?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Until the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763, few colonists in British North America objected to their place in the British Empire. Colonists in British America reaped many benefits from the British imperial system and bore few costs for those benefits. Indeed, until the early 1760s, the British mostly left their American colonies alone. The Seven Years' War (known in the United States as the French and Indian War) changed everything. Although Britain eventually achieved victory over France and its allies, victory had come at great cost. A staggering war debt influenced many British policies over the next decade. Attempts to raise money by reforming colonial administration, enforcing tax laws, and placing troops in America led directly to conflict with colonists. By the mid-1770s, relations between Americans and the British administration had become strained and acrimonious
