The British attacked china in the Opium War (1839-1842) because?

1 answer:

8 0

The British had attacked China in the Opium War because China had terminated trade of opium from the British and burned all opium they could find in China. The British saw this as a form of aggression and therefore sent their troops.

The problem first rooted with tea (that was a pun :D). The British wanted tea and China had tea, but China wanted silver. Eventually, the British decided to buy the tea and sold China opium instead. This went well at first until China saw the effect opium had on their civilians. So China banned it, and burned any speck of opium. This got back to the British and they sent their troops.

Hope this helps!

4. Altogether there were over 1500 city-states in the Greek world, but some of these would barely qualify as towns in modern terms. Even Athens, by far the largest of all city-states, only contained an estimated population of about 200,000 people in the year 500 BC.

5. The Athenian form of electing a government was called Limited Democracy while the Spartan form was called oligarchy" (rule by a few), but it had elements of monarchy (rule by kings), democracy (through the election of council/senators), and aristocracy (rule by the upper class or land owning class).

Discuss anti-immigrant sentiments in the United States in the late nineteenth century.

Xelga [282]

The anti-immigrant sentiments, or nativism, in the United Staets in the late nineteenth century is very well documented. Americans were mostly worried that immigrants come to the United States, move to cities and take American jobs away from Americans. Immigrants were willing to work for less and therefore more profitable for the robber barons taking advantage of the cheap labor. Therefore, nativism grew in the United States. This resulted in the passing of immigration legislation like the Chinese Exclusion Act and also the Gentleman's Agreement. The immigrants were also mostly from Ireland which meant that they were Catholic. Americans have always been hostile to Catholics because of previous conflicts between Catholics and Protestants.

When does Locke say it is appropriate to use military force? Do you agree with him? Explain your reasoning.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

No, I do not agree with him because not every aggression can be solved with military retaliation, force, or killing in self-defense.

Explanation:

John Locke has a theory of war in which he describes war as being a state of destruction which happens because someone pre-meditated taking another person's life. In his theory, he states that a person may kill another if his life is threatened, in self-defense.

He further argues that war is just and fair because it is a response to aggression and that the aggressor loses his or her rights when he puts people in a state of war and any means can be employed to defeat the enemy because war has no rules.
