Answer:

The term "robber baron" was applied to powerful nineteenth-century industrialists who were viewed as having used questionable practices to amass their wealth. On the other hand, "captains of industry" were business leaders whose means of amassing a personal fortune contributed positively to the country in some way. Another thing was, the wealthy elite of the late 19th century consisted of industrialists who amassed their fortunes as so-called robber barons and captains of industry. ... They made their wealth — and used it — in a way that would benefit society, such as providing more jobs or increasing productivity.

How did Enlightenment thinking and the American example influence French revolutionary ideals? (Check textbook pages 528-529 for

Aneli [31]

Answer with Explanation:

"Enlightenment thinking" refers to a philosophical movement which occurred in the 17th and 18th century. This movement focused on "reason" or "logic" especially when it comes to people's natural rights.

This kind of thinking influenced the Americans, especially when it comes to their economic struggles and rights. For example, the Americans thought that their taxation system was unfair. The French also had a similar thought that their taxation was discriminating. The Americans felt that some of the rights were only granted to particular groups of people in the society. In the same manner, French people also thought the same way. So, when the Americans revolted against Great Britain during the "Revolutionary War," the French saw how it happened. They were, in fact, "key participants" in the war. This, somehow, influenced or set the stage for their uprising (the French Revolution).

Thus, this explains the answer.

The correct answer is - Exports grew significantly in the 1820's.

This graph shows us the exports of opium by the British toward China. Starting from the year of 1729 the exports of opium in China constantly grew, though relatively slowly. In 1790 there's significant rise in the exports, but that it kind of stagnates and the growth is minimal in next three decades.

From the begging of the 1820's to the end of the 1820's the exports of opium start to grow very quickly. The rise in exports was so quick that in just this decade the exports of opium went up by around three times (tripled).

That trend of rapid growth in the opium exports continued in the next decade, the 1830's, as well.

makkiz [27]

Japan's imperialism was justified as a way to protect East Asia from the West. The idea was that only by taking advantage of its neighbors, could Japan become economically powerful. And this economic power, along with safety, became very important to the country, more so than maintaining traditional Asian values. Because it was considered so important, any action was justified in order to achieve it.
