Answer:
Nineteenth Century - Belgium had a colony in Africa: the belgian Congo. The Belgian leadership treated the native people of the Congo in an extremely brutal manner, most people were essentially slaves. Some workers were mutilated if they did not meet certain quotas, or if they "misbehaved".
Twentieth Century - France and Britain came to dominate several areas in the Middle East after the Ottoman Empire collapsed. The French Mandate in particular, created the countries of Syria and the Lebanon.
The problem was that the borders of these countries were created without regard for ethnic and religious differences.
For this reason, modern Syria and Lebanon are very conflictive countries (Syria is in a civil war, Lebanon had a civil war from 1975 to 1990) because of that.
Twenty-first century - The United States invaded Iraq in 2003 under the false claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction hidden in its territory. While the U.S. army managed to depose the former dictator, Sadam Hussein, the invasion caused the deaths of thousands of American Soldiers and Iraqi citizens, and Iraq continues to be a unstable country up to this day.
I would go with the Answer A. just because I would assume the lower class women would do ANYTHING to get a way of making money.
Answer:
The treaties at the End of World War I completely changed the map of the world and had a huge impact on the subsequent events.
Explanation:
The treaty of Versailles was signed in June 1919 and consisted of the great powers of the world who had fought in the war. The Axis were made to give reparations and had to either free large parts of lands or give them to the Allies.
The Ottoman Empire was allied with Germany and both of them lost the power. The Ottoman Empire was eventually broken up which had an impact on Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Greece, Armenia, Bulgaria among other countries gained Independence. The Middle East completely changed with the formation of Iraq and eventually Saudi Arabia with a British Mandate for Palestine.
In Europe, Germany also had to give up a lot of land. The Mighty Austro-Hungarian Empire also ceased to exist.
The American West was indeed a land of great opportunity from 1865 to 1900 in the sense that there was an abundance of land and resources available to all those willing to go west.
<u><em>The Mir Space Station was in orbit for an astonishing 15 years, being the first modular space station public ally known!</em></u>
The Mir Station is no longer in orbit and was destroyed upon forced reentry by the Russians in an attempt to get rid of it, so it is NOT A.
Does the word "Mir" sound American to you? Well I certainly hope not, because it isn't, so it is NOT C.
If it isn't A, and it isn't C, it can't be all of the above, so it is NOT D.
So the answer is B by process of elimination!
