Answer:

The correct answer is B. John Hay declared tht the countries' lack of response meant that they agreed to the policy.

Explanation:

The Open Door policy was the American political doctrine held in China from 1899 to 1949, the beginning and basis of which were laid by the diplomatic statements of Secretary of State J. Hay. The essence of this policy was that China should pursue free trade and the free flow of capital.  

After the failed Boxer Rebellion, it was decided to divide China into spheres of influence between Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Japan. The United States was not among the powers that received power in China. This was the main reason for this doctrine.

The main point of the doctrine was to provide equal opportunities for European powers and the United States in trade policy in China. The United States suggested that the great powers in their spheres of influence or in the “rented” territory not to impede the interests of other powers and apply the Chinese contractual customs tariff on all goods, regardless of where they were made. It was also proposed to levy the same shipping charges. These measures provided favorable conditions for the penetration of American monopolies into the Chinese market, and the favorable treatment regime in the trade of European capital was minimized. In general, the Americans tried to appear to be benefactors, since the European powers brought a lot of misfortune and ruining to China through the Opium Wars, while the United Statesdid not participate in them, but wanted to get economic benefits in China too.

What unexpected event following the French Revolution does this cartoon illustrate?
qwelly [4]

3. The French Revolution eventually led to a military dictatorship

Explanation:

One of the watershed events of the world’s history, the French Revolution, revolutionized France during 1789 to 1790s.  

Initially spread as a widespread upheaval against the French monarchy under King Louis XVI, with the rise of the Third Estate, the revolution gained strength, led to the declaration of Rights of Man and the Citizen; however, later turned radical and ended in the reign of terror.  

With the execution of Robespierre, the President of the National Convention, the Reign of Terror came to end.  

This again led to a lot of frustration among people which made the young and determined Army General Napoleon Bonaparte stage the coup d’etat which was the military coup that overthrew the Directory.

Napoleon with his dictatorial powers became the first consul of France and then in 1804 became the French emperor and brought France under his sole military dictatorship rule .

10 points and BRAINLIEST!!!!What’s the importance of the magma carta and the Hundred Years’ War
Ludmilka [50]

In the 13th century, after the Magna Carta failed to prevent the Baron Wars, King John and his son King Henry III’s reigns were characterized by numerous rebellions and civil wars, often provoked by incompetence and mismanagement in government. The reign of Henry III’s son Edward I (1272–1307), was rather more successful. Edward enacted numerous laws strengthening the powers of his government, and he summoned the first officially sanctioned Parliaments of England. He conquered Wales and attempted to use a succession dispute to gain control of the Kingdom of Scotland, though this developed into a costly and drawn-out military campaign.

After the disastrous reign of Edward II, which saw military losses and the Great Famine, Edward III reigned from 1327–1377, restoring royal authority and transforming the Kingdom of England into the most efficient military power in Europe. His reign saw vital developments in legislature and government—in particular the evolution of the English parliament—as well as the ravages of the Black Death. After defeating, but not subjugating, the Kingdom of Scotland, he declared himself rightful heir to the French throne in 1338, but his claim was denied. This started what would become known as the Hundred Years’ War.

The Hundred Years’ War is the term used to describe a series of conflicts from 1337 to 1453, between the rulers of the Kingdom of England and the House of Valois for control of the French throne. These 116 years saw a great deal of battle on the continent, most of it over disputes as to which family line should rightfully be upon the throne of France. By the end of the Hundred Years’ War, the population of France was about half what it had been before the era began.

The outbreak of war was motivated by a gradual rise in tension between the kings of France and England about Guyenne, Flanders, and Scotland. The dynastic question, which arose due to an interruption of the direct male line of the Capetians, was the official pretext.

The Hundred Years War was one of the defining events in the creation of a feeling of nationhood in France and England.

Although England had become a unified state with the Norman Conquest, for generations afterwards the upper classes felt a strong cultural affinity for France. Medieval French remained the language of choice for them, was the basic language of the law, and was a powerful class marker.

At the same time, France had not achieved a unified state. The kings of France controlled only their own territory around Paris. The great magnates operated their domains almost as independent countries.
