The Stamp Act was approved by the British in 1765 imposing taxes on all American colonists requiring them to pay taxes represented by a stamp on every piece of printed paper they used. Legal documents, licenses, newspapers, publications, etc. Colonists reacted with boycotts, riots and attacks to tax collectors.  Although the Stamp Act occurred years before the Declaration of Independence, it was a critical  issue that provoked the American Revolution.

Agency: Who were the primary actors in Newark's rapid
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Seth Boyden and the ideas of manufacturing leather, railroads, and the first plastic.

Explanation:

Newark's rapid growth began in the early 19th century, much of it due to a Massachusetts transplant named Seth Boyden. Boyden came to Newark in 1815, and immediately began a torrent of improvements to leather manufacture, culminating in the process for making patent leather. Boyden's genius led to Newark's manufacturing nearly 90% of the nation's leather by 1870, bringing in $8.6 million in revenue to the city in that year alone. In 1824, Boyden, bored with leather, found a way to produce malleable iron. Newark also prospered by the construction of the Morris Canal in 1831. The canal connected Newark with the New Jersey hinterland, at that time a major iron and farm area. Railroads arrived in 1834 and 1835. A flourishing shipping business resulted, and Newark became the area's industrial center. By 1826, Newark's population stood at 8,017, ten times their 1776 number. The middle 19th century saw continued growth and diversification of Newark's industrial base. The first commercially successful plastic — Celluloid — was produced in a factory on Mechanic Street by John Wesley Hyatt. Hyatt's Celluloid found its way into Newark-made carriages, billiard balls, and dentures.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Bangladesh

Explanation:

After political, economical, and cultural divides between East Bengal and West Pakistan which had been present for almost 30 years, the Bengali people wished to be independent from West Pakistan. Some examples of these divides were the Bengali Language Movement, the Kaptai Dam, the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, and further tensions & conflicts.

Eventually on March 7th 1971 the first revolutionary movements commenced amassing approximately 2 million people, led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

The West Pakistani government ordered the nationalist movement to be stopped through military action, which prompted Operation Searchlight led by General Yahiya Khan. The operation resulted in the arrest of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the leader of the Bengali nationalist movement. Before his arrest he declared the Independence of Bangladesh, which subsequently sparked the Bangladesh Liberation War within hours.

The Bangladesh Liberation War caused further conflict between both parties and India (supporting Bangladesh) enduring for 10 months, resulting in 300,000 - 3,000,000 civilian casualties. The conflict concluded as the Pakistani armed forces surrendered on December 16th 1971. After the war, on December 16th 1972 the People's Republic of Bangladesh was instated, which is still in place to this day.
