Answer:
I believe the answer is "a. Nationalism." ***I might be wrong.
Explanation:
Regarding any Indian conflict in the North American theater of the Seven Years War, the British and French were disputing over territory of the Ohio River Valley, thus showing how both countries were very greedy to obtain land for themselves and show off their prowess and superiority to each other. I feel like answer choices B and C just don't seem applicable, because the throes of the Seven Years War occurred in the midst of early imperialism, which is all about nationalism and not really about revenge, economics, or Indian conflict. Besides, this question is inaugurated with "like most wars," meaning that the answer choice must be common to wars such as World War II or the Mexican-American war. As any historian notices, nationalism is one of the most prevalent characteristics of any conflicts between multiple sovereign states.
<em>The Chinese Exclusion Act</em>
Explanation:
The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in 1882 and was the ban of Chinese laborers from immigrating into the United States. President Chester A. Arthur signed this law and approved it.
Many people during this time were prejudice against Chinese immigrants. Most of this prejudice and racism came from the California Gold Rush, as many Chinese immigrants went to California during this time for work trying to find gold. Many white Americans thought that the Chinese were trying to take their wages and jobs and were not happy about it whatsoever.
This lead to a lot of hate to Chinese immigrants from white Americans and eventually got into the hands of higher authorities such as President Chester A. Arthur. The ban upon Chinese laborers was the first immigration law that banned a race or ethnic group to this extent.
I think it was the past with Britain where only one person had complete power. This did not allow people to have a say, which was the reasons why the 13 colonies rebelled. Including the right of the people to revolt against a tyrannical government would protect the fundament of the united states government which was to give the people power and to make sure the US would not become something similar to Britain.
