Answer:
King Leopold II treated the Congo as his personal property and exploited the country for slave labor, rubber, and ivory. The Belgian Congo was established in 1908 after the international community pressured the Belgian government to annex the country and take it out of the king's hands. Conditions in Belgian Congo improved as the Belgian government supported education and established trade. Nevertheless, the people of the Congo increased their demands for independence.
The best explanation why the area between Spain and Gaul was not part of the Roman empire until that later period was a culmination from both undesireability and difficulty in accessing this region due to its mountaineous nature. So I would wager the answer being both C and D - undesireability and difficulty in access.
Answer:
1) Peace
2) Do you believe sustained world peace is possible? Why or why not?
Explanation:
There are two valid definitions of the word peace:
<em>Peace is a period in time without any conflicts similar to war. </em>
<em>Peace is the state of freedom that no one disturbs.</em>

World peace is possible in <u>theory</u>.
To achieve world peace all of the nations would have to relinquish dogma, religion and political beliefs.
Those are the three main reasons why people cannot have peace.
Similar topics are discussed in many Utopian books. Something similar was the main idea of communism at the beginning. In the perfect world without any conflict, everyone would have to live by the same rules, have equal rights and the same lifestyle. Still, there is a problem with this type of life and it lies in the efforts of society and individuals. For example, a person who goes to college would not have a better financial life than the person who did not go to college, thus the individual effort to stand out would be pointless.
<u>To conclude, world peace is possible in theory, but it is almost impossible to have it in practice.</u>
If someone where to set aside the check of the "Executive Branch". The president would have alot of power and no one could stop him because he has so much authority.
Hope this helps
