Answer:

Al inicio del siglo XX, varias eran las naciones que se disputaban entre si el liderazgo económico mundial.

En Europa, naciones como Gran Bretaña, Austria-Hungría, Francia y Alemania se encontraban entre las más ricas del mundo. Especialmente importante eran las posiciones de Gran Bretaña, sustentada en su gran extensión imperial y la explotación mercantilista de sus colonias; y Francia, impulsada por sus colonias y su consolidado estatus hegemonía. Por otra parte, Austria-Hungría era una nación plenamente industrializada, conformada por los sectores mas pudientes de Europa Central, y con ambiciones imperialistas en los Balcanes que le garantizaban el acceso al mar y a recursos naturales de la región. Por último, Alemania, que se había unificado tras la guerra Franco-Prusiana, también había incurrido en un rápido proceso de industrialización, que moldeó una economía productora de manufacturas y altamente militarizada.

Adicionalmente, en el continente americano, el surgimiento de los Estados Unidos como una potencia tras el proceso expansivo en el Pacifico y el Caribe lo depositó como una nación productora de bienes industriales y basada en el comercio interoceánico con naciones como Gran Bretaña y Francia.

What was the name for the tectonic force that moved the North American Plate westward, breaking it away from Europe and Africa,
miskamm [114]

Answer:

<em>Mantle convective current</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The North American Plate is a tectonic plate that covers most of North America, Greenland, Cuba, the Bahamas, extreme northeastern Asia, and parts of Iceland and the Azores. It is Earth's second largest tectonic plate, behind the Pacific Plate. It is thought to be moved by the very slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface.
