Prohibiting the export of arms, ammunition, and implements of war, from the United States to foreign nations at war
The correct options are:
- military dictatorships
- rebellions and insurgencies
- high rates of poverty
After gaining its independence, the young nation faced several problems: the country had to be rebuilt from the ravages of war and reach an agreement with several Japanese collaborators and entrepreneurs to begin their economic development. Meanwhile, the Hukbalahap, a rebel communist army that previously fought against the Japanese, remained active in rural areas. Finally, this threat was addressed by the Secretary of National Defense and later president Ramón Magsaysay, although some sporadic cases of communist insurgency continued to be presented. In 1965, Ferdinand Marcos was elected president, with his wife Imelda Marcos at his side. As the Constitution forbade being re-elected more than twice for the presidential office, at the end of his second term he declared martial law on September 21, 1972. To continue governing by decree, he used as arguments the political division, the tension of the War Cold and the specter of the communist rebellion and the Islamic insurgency in the country. Thus began a dictatorship that lasted more than ten years and was characterized by strict control of the economy and political repression.
The return of democracy and reforms to the government after the events of 1986 were hampered by the national debt, corruption, coup attempts, a persistent Communist insurgency and Islamic separatist movements. Although the economy improved during the administration of Fidel V. Ramos, who was elected president in 1992, the start of the 1997 Asian financial crisis halted these advances.
<u>Three strategies that artists began using to make their work more realistic:</u>
The three strategies that artists began to use to make their work more realistic included perspective, representation or impressionism and abstract art.
- Perspective was used as a technique to depict spatial distance as a realistic illusion. In this technique, the closer objects appeared larger whereas the objects that were behind were smaller. The perspective technique took into consideration the distance of the object from the viewer.
- Representation as a technique that depict actual objects from reality. The technique shows objects as they would be seen by a viewer in reality.
- Abstraction is a technique that takes objects from reality but depicts them in a different form thereby triggering the imagination of the artists as well as the viewers.
