Economic:
The peasant class was very poor and was taxed horribly because the King wass spending all his money.
Also they just got out of a war that they were not payed for yet(American Revolution)
Political: The king was taxing the life out of the lower classes which caused resentment
Social: the Enlightenment was causing some problems bc it challenged the views everyone held about rights, authority, religion, etc.
C. Had propaganda made that promoted them as being aligned politically and personally.
1. The speaker is most likely a common man living in a town in Victoria. The fact I understand from the text is that, the speaker is a patriotic person. He is so sad about the destruction caused after, probably a war.
2. In my Opinion, this poem is trying to give a vivid picture of a place after a war, probably.
3. The speaker's tone towards the city is a pity as well as a humorous tone. His reference "Here are broken fingerbones of clay pipes" is a pitiful statement and his words "and mud is thick as meat".
4. I think the poem literally comes between the year 1990 - 1999. This is proved when he refers "air sweet as rust" as there were wars during that time in major parts of Asia.
5. The words mud is thick as meat, seed stained black, inner city's chalk, broken fingerbones of clay piles etc are some of the main humorous as well as unimaginable quotes made by the speaker in order to say about his feelings of the ruined city.
Hope it helps you...

Answer:
U.S. Commodore Matthew Perry opened American trade relations with Japan in 1854. President Theodore Roosevelt brokered a 1905 peace treaty in the Russo-Japanese War that was favorable to Japan. The two signed a Commerce and Navigation Treaty in 1911. Japan had also sided with the U.S., Great Britain, and France during World War I.
During that time, Japan also embarked on forming an empire modeled after the British Empire. Japan made no secret that it wanted economic control of the Asia-Pacific region.
By 1931, however, U.S.-Japanese relations had soured. Japan's civilian government, unable to cope with the strains of the global Great Depression, had given way to a militarist government. The new regime was prepared to strengthen Japan by forcibly annexing areas in the Asia-Pacific. It started with China.
