History

Lina20 [59]3 years ago

The correct answer is: The samurai and daimyo restored the emperor to power and worked to reform Japan.

Indeed, Japan had remained fiercely isolated from the rest of the world for centuries. Japan especially mistrusted Western powers sine they had better technology and were extremely aggressive and powerful. In 1853, American Commodore Matthew C. Perry, arrived with four US military, steam-powered ships which were equipped with very modern and destructive guns. The Japanese had no means to oppose him in any manner and yielded to his demands, that Japan sign an official treaty if trade and commerce with the United States. This treaty, the Convention of Kanagawa angered many of the highest-ranking samurais for whom it was seen as a capitulation. They decided that Japan was way behind Western powers and that unless they imposed radical societal, economic reforms, they would be dominated by the West. They managed to remove Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the last Shogun of Japan and restored the Emperor.

Traditionalist samurais were incensed by this action and a civil war ensued, which reformist samurais were able to win with the help of Western technology and military advisors. Most power was transferred to the Emperor and Japan started massively importing technology and methods of social organization from many different countries in the west.

Aleks [24]
I'd go with C, D and F.  The main causes of population growth had to do with diet and hygiene and health care.
The Agricultural Revolution (which started in the 17th century) led to better food production and thus better diet and nutrition for people, so healthier lives.
The Industrial Revolution (beginning in the mid 18th century) pushed cities to create better sanitation methods to avoid cholera and other disease epidemics.
And the ongoing advances in medicine ever since the Scientific Revolution were doing their part also to increase lifespans.

How do natural resources and geography relate to economic growth for a
leonid [27]

Limited natural resources like infertile land and lack of coastal access can limit economic growth of a country.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Agriculture is an important sector that determines a country’s economic stability. If a country   does not have enough agricultural productivity it should depend on other countries to meet its needs. This will cause the outflow of wealth from the nation to other countries and slow down its economic growth.  

Fertile land is the necessary resource that ensures stable agricultural productivity. If a country’s geographical location favours its trade relations with other nations, imports and exports become smoother. Coastal access is an important factor that boosts up a country’s active participation in global trade.  

Thus infertile land and lack of coastal access can bring down the economic growth of a country.
