Answer:

Modifying land is a common activity in all regions of the world. People modify their environments so they can use the resources for survival and profit. Land in South and Southeast Asia commonly is modified for three things: lumber, farming, and palm oil plantations. People in South and Southeast Asia use lumber to build structures, create furniture, and make ornamental objects, as well as to sell and to export to other regions. To modify land for farming, people in South and Southeast Asia use a technique known as slash-and-burn farming to clear areas and create fertile soil. This allows them to continue farming even after some land loses its nutrients. Finally, people in South and Southeast Asia create palm oil plantations, which produce an important oil used to fry, preserve, and create consistency in food. It is also used as a biodiesel fuel and exported around the world. These are all positive modifications that have enhanced the lives of people living in these regions. However, these land modifications also cause some negative effects. Deforestation has been a large problem in these regions. Forests are disappearing and taking plants and animals’ habitats with them. Many of these forests are not growing back and may not come back for hundreds of years. When vegetation is replanted, it sometimes lacks diversity and makes it hard for animals to find new homes. Deforestation can also limit resources for future populations. Finally, air pollution is a common result of slash-and-burn farming.

Traditional subsistence agriculture has turned into industrial mono culture farming. Among the negative effects are deforestation, soil degradation due to the use of toxic pesticides and the lack of variety in crops, decreased food security due to the use of agricultural lands for commercial crops with no alimentary value such as rubber and abusive private appropriation of land by industrial agricultural corporations. Among the positive effects in Thailand and China, because of their logistical, financial and educational support of poor farmers, the latter have been able to take advantage of the rubber boom and prosper, leaving poverty behind.

The civil war in vietnam caused the united states to rethink which foreign policy strategy?.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The civil war in Vietnam induced the united states to rethink Containment foreign policy strategy.

<h3>What is civil war in Vietnam?</h3>

The American Civil War existed as a civil war in the United States between the United States and the Confederacy. The central cause of the war was the level of slavery, especially the development of slavery in territories achieved as a result of the Louisiana Purchase and the Mexican–American War. The Vietnam War was represented as a civil war within South Vietnam, although it evolved into a proxy war between Cold War powers. As a consequence, the Vietnamese sorrowed the highest casualties in the conflict.

Containment existed as a foreign policy strategy observed by the United States during the Cold War. First laid out by George F. Kennan in 1947, the policy expressed that communism needed to be contained and isolated, or else it would extend to neighboring countries. The Truman Doctrine also understood as the policy of containment existed in President Harry Truman's foreign policy that the US would furnish political, military, and economic aid to democratic countries under the hazard of communist influences to control the expansion of communism.

Explain the coming of the First World War. What was the war really about? Why did virtually all the European Powers become invol
givi [52]

Simplified in the best way possible:

World War 1 started when Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot and killed by a Serbian man. As of a result, Austria demanded territory (taking advantage of the fact that the killer was Serbian). Austria declared war on Serbia. Serbia was in an agreement with Russia which led to war. Germany declared war on Russia for declaring war on Austria. Germany knew that France was allied to Russia, so Wilhem II declared war on France (it was going to happen anyways.)  Britain later declared war on Germany after they had declined an ultimatum. During the war, UU Boats attacked British boats, and tried to starve them. While attacking British boats, they had accidentally attacked an American steamboat. This had caused tension. Germany agreed not to do it again. A few years later, they had started attacking American boats, thinking that the Americans were supplying the British. Tension grew again, which led Germany to send a telegraph to Mexico asking them to attack the United States, promising them their old lands. Since Mexico was at a civil war at the time, their generals told their leader not to attack the United States, and side with them. Mexico did exactly that, and had informed the United States. The people's will to fight in the United States grew, as mobilization started. In 1917, the United States declared war on Germany and sent thousands of troops to France almost every week.

Serbia was to blame as a part of their military known as the black hand secret society had trained soldiers to kill Ferdinand and split Austria's provinces so Serbia can form Yugoslavia. The head of the black hand secret society was the chief of the Serbian military intelligence.
