Hi!

The ideas of the enlightenment were exponential to the ideas we have today regarding politics. Great philosophers like John Locke set forth ideas like the invisible hand and the social contract.

Thoughts like these led to the fall of one of the most common forms of government at the time - a monarch. This led to nations changing to form a true system of government, where not one individual has too much power.

The ideas set forth by great thinkers like Locke helped put power in the hands of the people, not one individual at the top. The ideologies developed during this time are still in place today.

People conjured up the idea of splitting the government up into branches, as a way to prevent one person from having all the power. Our government still follows this set of ideas, by being split up into three different branches.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

Why were spheres of influence established in China?
worty [1.4K]
China was itself an established empire and could not be conquered the same way as they did Africa and India.

What you are saying is basically equal to saying why not land in England (during that period) and turn everyone into slaves.

Since that is impossible, establishing spheres of influence allows major powers to break China from the inside.

The major powers of europe, Japan, and America ganging up on china during those days is the main reason behind China's firm foreign policy today.

Which pharaoh is regarded as being one of the most successful female Egyptian leaders, having reigned longer than any other fema
raketka [301]

Both C and D were both male rulers, so we can rule them out.

Next comes Hatshepsut and Cleopatra.

Cleopatra was a co-regent. Even though she was a very strong person of history, Hatshepsut takes the answer.

Hatshepsut ruled for a whopping 20 years, making her considered one of the most successful female Egyptian rulers.

 Hope this helps!
