2. B

Explanation:

John Monroe was an American diplomat, lawyer and statesman who was elected as the fifth president of the United States of America, he served from 1817 to 1825. President Monroe was born on the 28th of April, 1758 in Monroe Hall, Virginia, United States of America.

After the War of 1812, the United States of America and Great Britain had series of improved relationships with one another. These mutual relationships gave rise to the signing of the 1817 Rush-Bagot Pact and Convention of 1818 which played a significant role in the resolution of longstanding boundary disputes with respect to the 1783 Treaty of Paris.

Under President James Monroe, the 49th parallel was set as the boundary between the United States and Canada by Convention of 1818, which was signed on the 20th of October, 1818 in London, United Kingdom.

On the 22nd of December, 1823, President Monroe published the "Monroe Doctrine" in which European Colonialism in America was strongly prohibited and as such the Western Hemisphere was forbidden to the European powers.

Hence, the main purpose of the Monroe Doctrine was to establish that the nations of Europe should not establish any new colonies in the Western Hemisphere.

Also, the United States agreed to not intervene in the affairs of Europe.

How did gutenberg's printing press lead to the spread of protestant ideas?

siniylev [52]

The printing press was important to the spread of the Renaissance and Humanist thinking because it made it easier to print books and pamphlets. People then soon read more often and understood the ideas written in the book or pamphlet. At the time it was the priests who only knew how to read, so they would plant ideas into people's heads causing them to not have ideas of their ideas. Because of the printing press, people started to learn to think on their own.

How did Chinese communism differ from Soviet communism ?

viva [34]

Answer:

The Soviet Union and China were uneasy allies. Chinese communism differed from Soviet communism, especially on Marxist ideology. A main difference was their view of the peasantry as playing a major role in the communist revolution. On the other hand, Soviets put their trust in a "revolutionary elite" of intellectuals and urban workers instead of the rural poor. After border clashes and disagreements over ideology, in 1959 Soviets withdrew all of their aid and advisors from China, ending their alliance.

Hope this answer is right!
