In a 1965 speech at Johns Hopkins University, President Lyndon Johnson said, "Over this war—and all Asia—is another reality: the

deepening shadow of Communist China. . . . This is a regime which has destroyed freedom in Tibet, which has attacked India, and has been condemned by the United Nations for aggression in Korea. It is helping the forces of violence in almost every continent. The contest in Viet-Nam is part of a wider pattern of aggressive purposes." With this statement, Johnson was aiming to justify American intervention in Vietnam using
the theory of containment.
→ Johnson's 1965 justification for U.S. intervention in Vietnam, articulated here, was a classic argument for containment. He was suggesting that Communist China had an aggressive agenda that, if left unchecked, would lead to communism throughout Asia.

I want to know about the history of The Opium War
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The Opium War, usually the Opium War refers to the First Opium War, which the British often refer to as the First Sino-British War or "Trade War", which was an unjust war of aggression launched by Britain against China from 1840 to 1842, and also the beginning of China's modern history of humiliation.

In 1840 (the twentieth year of Daoguang), the British government decided to send an expeditionary force to invade China under the pretext of Lin Zexu's Humen tobacco sales. In June 1840, 47 British ships and 4,000 army personnel, led by Rear Admiral George Yilu and Yi Lu, the commercial supervisor in China, arrived outside the mouth of the Pearl River in Guangdong province, blockaded Haikou, and the Opium War began.

The Opium War ended with China's defeat and the cession of land in reparations. China and Britain signed the Treaty of Nanking, the first unequal treaty in Chinese history. China began to cede land, pay indemnities, and agree on tariffs to foreign countries, which seriously endangered China's sovereignty, began to degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, lost its independent and autonomous status, and promoted the disintegration of the small-scale peasant economy. At the same time, the Opium War also opened a new chapter in the history of the resistance of the Chinese people to foreign aggression in modern times.

Mademuasel [1]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the options. However, we can say the following.

what the governments of the city-state of Athens and the Roman Republic have in common was that they were democracies. Of course, we are talking about the Roman Republic, because after the Republic, it began the times of the Roman Emperors.

In was first Solon, ruler of Athens, -the most important city-state in Greece-  the one that started to recognize dome liberties for the Athenian people and made some reformations. But it was truly Cleisthenes, the one who allowed Athenian men to participate in elections to choose their rulers. So we can say that it was the origins of democracy, although in those Greek years is was a limited democracy.
