Answer: D. The Grapes of Wrath

Explanation: The Grapes of Wrath was written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939. It is a story about a family in the dustbowl and their struggle in the great depression. It cqptures the great anger and helplessness of the people as well as the heartlessness and nonchalance of the powerful elite.

Steinbeck masterfully depicted the struggle to retain dignity and to preserve the family in the face of disaster, adversity, and vast, impersonal commercial influences. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1940 for this novel.

He clearly stated his purpose for writing the novel as wanting to put a tag of shame on the greedy people who are responsible for this, that is the Depression and the plight of the worker.

What was one reason that China lost the Sino-Japanese War?
Kamila [148]

Answer: China had decided not to modernize and industrialize

Explanation:

The Sino-Japanese War (the first one, carried out between 1894 and 1895), was a conflict between Japan and China for the supremacy over Korea (which for a long time was the most important client state for China). This war meant the rise of Japan as a great world power by showing the weakness of the Chinese empire (specifically the Qing dynasty).

The war was formally declared on August 1, 1894, with favorable predictions for China by foreign observers, because China had more people to fight. However, the Japanese surprised to be better equipped and prepared, after having successfully modernized.

That is why after more than six months of uninterrupted successes by Japanese land and naval forces and the loss of the Weihaiwei port by China, the Qing government sued for peace in February 1895.

HURRY PLEASE! How did the actions of Union generals Grant and Sherman affect the outcome of the Civil War?
kirill115 [55]
Hi! :)

Answer: A. They destroyed the South’s morale and captured its capital, forcing the South to surrender.

There were no specific routes, however, Sherman and Grant had targets and if they would be able to bring down their targets, it would be easier for them to take over.

They had destroyed many cities in the South so that they won’t be able to wage war because of the damages they had done in those cities.
