XYZ affair was a political affair in 1797 and 1798 involving United States and France.

It was a situation in which war could have been declared. It started with financial problems of the French government and their decision to seize American merchant ships. A diplomatic mission was working towards a de-escalation of the conflict, but the French side demanded bribes, which the US didn't want to grant.

The conflict finally was settled in a diplomatic way and a war was avoided.

In the years of 1797 and 1798, the United States got into a diplomatic incident that was between France. The XYZ affair led to the undeclared Quasi-War. The attempt was to avert war with Great Britain. The XYZ affair started because France allowed an order for the seizure of American merchant ships in the year 1796. The XYZ affair was a very unsuccessful diplomatic incident and this contributes to the hostilities between both the United States of America and France.

I had to look for the options and here is my answer:

Based on Seth's graduation project which is about conditioning a monkey to fear a flower, she might consider coming up with a different plan because the monkey does not possess any biological predisposition to be afraid of a flower, which makes this project difficult to achieve or rather impossible.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, why did the poet Qu Yuan drown himself in the river? Why is t

hram777 [196]

Answer:

1. To die for the country. At that time, the Qin state was particularly powerful, and after the capital of the Chu state was captured by Qin. Qu Yuan felt that his country was about to perish. As a person with strong feelings for the state of Chu, Qu Yuan did not want to see this scene happen with his own eyes, so he threw himself into the Miluo River.

2. Dying to be perfect. Qu Yuan's character is upright, while politics is dark and cruel. Qu Yuan found that his political ambitions were impossible to accomplish under the leadership of a king like King Huai of Chu and the cooperation of incompetent colleagues who were scheming but not involved in civil affairs. What Qu Yuan wanted was "Mingjun" and "Prince Zhe", and colleagues who could sincerely make achievements for the common people, but the stark reality woke him up again and again and finally threw him into the river.

3. Died to save King Qingxiang. This is a rather novel statement. It originated from a folklore that after the death of King Huai, the state of Chu could no longer withstand any attacks. At that time, the state of Qin often invaded the state of Chu and finally captured Yingdu. During the process of being hunted down by Qin State, King Qingxiang thought of Qu Yuan who was near the Miluo River with Liufang, and wanted to ask him if there was any way he could pull back the game and revive Chu State. However, the Qin army followed after learning of King Qingxiang's thoughts. In order to protect King Qingxiang, Qu Yuan exchanged clothes with him and jumped down the Miluo River in front of the Qin army, and King Xiang was rescued.
