Astride horses, American Indians could hunt far more effectively in many parts of the West, especially among the vast herds of b

ison on the Great Plains. Those bison were hunted not just for their meat but also their hides, which women processed into robes to feed a hungry market in the east and Europe. Horses thus expanded Native trade and brought a flow of new items into their lives—a trade invigorated also because Indians could travel so much farther and faster than before. As from the time of the first horse cultures in central Asia, western Indians exploited a new military potential. Some groups quickly developed astonishing skills as mounted warriors and proceeded to expand their hunting and trading territories against weaker neighbors. –Elliott West "The Impact of Horse Culture” Despite geographic separation and diverse environments, many American Indian peoples used some common practices. According to the excerpt, which practice was unique to the Plains Indians? A) The use of hunting both for food and for material resources such as skins and bone. B) The division of labor between males and females to meet the needs of the community. C) The development of permanent settlements for trade and agriculture. D) The use of the domesticated horse in hunting and warfare.

Answer: D) The use of the domesticated horse in hunting and warfare.

Explanation:

With horses now domesticated, the Indians could travel so much further than before which led to them being able to hunt animals more effectively in many parts of the land.

The Indians also used the horses in warfare as some of them got so adept at using horses that they developed astonishing qualities which they then used to expand their territories against weaker tribes.

What was one reason that China lost the Sino-Japanese War?
Kamila [148]

Answer: China had decided not to modernize and industrialize

Explanation:

The Sino-Japanese War (the first one, carried out between 1894 and 1895), was a conflict between Japan and China for the supremacy over Korea (which for a long time was the most important client state for China). This war meant the rise of Japan as a great world power by showing the weakness of the Chinese empire (specifically the Qing dynasty).

The war was formally declared on August 1, 1894, with favorable predictions for China by foreign observers, because China had more people to fight. However, the Japanese surprised to be better equipped and prepared, after having successfully modernized.

That is why after more than six months of uninterrupted successes by Japanese land and naval forces and the loss of the Weihaiwei port by China, the Qing government sued for peace in February 1895.
