Since you didn't list choices, I can just provide you a summary of what led to the United States' involvement in World War I.

Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania. When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania in May, 1915, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship. Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks.
In January, 1917, Germany resumed its policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, again attacking non-military vessels which they suspected of carrying military supplies. The resumption of Germany's U-boat warfare again inflamed tensions with the United States.
In February, 1917, the "Zimmerman Telegram" was intercepted by British intelligence and shared with the US. Germany's foreign minister, Arthur Zimmerman, had telegraphed an offer to Mexico's ambassador seeking Mexico's support in war vs. the United States in exchange for getting land back from the US.
On April 2, 1917, President Wilson made a powerful speech to Congress in which he argued that the nation needed to enter the war "to make the world safe for democracy." Wilson's speech was powerfully convincing, and four days later, Congress declared war.

How did European colonization affect west Africa HELP

bogdanovich [222]

The European colonization of West Africa had numerous effects on the native people of the region. The Europeans used multiple methods to keep the things under control, including assimilation and association, or dividing and ruling. There was segregation, and the native people were not allowed to take high positions, or to be included into the education.

The borders between the imperialist powers did not corresponded with the ethnic or religious background of the people, which later in the history turned out to be a huge problem which has a big effect even in the present.

The Europeans also used lot of the natural resources of the region. For that purpose they built infrastructure, which can be seen as positive as it remained for usage for the native people after they gained independence. Also the Europeans introduced multiple plants, mostly cash-crops in the region, and they were of great benefit during the colonization, and in the present are still the main source of income for multiple nations of West Africa.

Which of the following explains how the Mandate of Heaven was used?

zmey [24]

The correct answer is b) to limit the power of the ruler

The Mandate of Heaven has four basic principles, the right to rule is granted by heaven but this did not mean the ruler could do whatever he wanted - as an example of European rulers - this means that the right to rule is based on the virtue of the ruler, if he does not meet the expectations he does not deserve the right to rule.

At that time Chinese Society had a strict moral code, the ruler had to follow it to deserve power. There are some episodes when there were natural disasters happened and people interpreted it as a sign that the ruler was unjust and needed a replacement.
