Why do southern and eastern africa clear forests for mining

History
1 answer:
brilliants [131]3 years ago
5 0

The nations in the southern and eastern part of the African continent have economies that are mostly reliant on the mining. They have numerous valuable metals, as well as diamonds, and coal. In order to be able to extract them and the mining to take place, the terrain has to be cleared, and usually it is the forests that are having the worst of it, as large portions of them are totally destroyed.

While this may be good for the economies of these nations on the short run, on the long run, the destruction of the forests can be fatal for them. The reason for that is that the metals, diamonds, coal, are non-renewable resources, they are limited, and once their reserves end, these nations will find themselves in a situation where they would have totally destroyed environment and no mining activities to run their economy.

How do Senate Republicans attempt to address concerns over the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations without rejecting
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

<h3>The Senate Republicans rejected certain provisions of the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations.</h3>

Explanation:

  • When President Wilson proposed for the Treaty of Versailles and an international organization which he believed would govern international relations and interactions, it was rejected by the the allied forces as well by the Senate Republicans.
  • The Republican Senate leader, Henry Cobot Lodge was very skeptical about Wilson's proposal for the treaty. The Senate Republicans were against certain provisions of the treaty which they believed would hamper U.S's interest in world politics and economy.
  • Lodge, therefore, proposed for certain reservations or exemptions and amendments in the provisions in the treaty which would enhance U.S's interest in the world politics.
  • Wilson's failure to address Lodge's proposals in the treaty led Senate Republicans to vote against the treaty and consequently U.S failed to join the League of Nations.
