Answer:
The correct answer is D. A group of Chinese peasants resisted the loss of their traditional ways of living.
Explanation:
The Boxer Rebellion was a Chinese movement against European, US and Japanese imperialism. In the spring and summer of 1900, the attacks of the Boxer movement against foreigners and Chinese Christians brought about a war between China and a coalition consisting of Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Austria-Hungary, Russia and the USA, which ended with a defeat for the Chinese.
It was directed primarily at Chinese Christians and their missionaries, and eventually at Western political and commercial influence in China in general. Eventually, it became an overriding goal for the boxers and for the forces at the Qing court who supported and nurtured them to get all foreigners removed from China. From the point of view of the foreign powers, the goal was initially to come to the aid of besieged foreigners in Beijing, but eventually there was a punitive expedition and a positional race in the expectation that the Qing dynasty would have to hand over even more power to foreign powers.
Answer: Alleged attack on US Navy ships by North Vietnamese torpedo boats.
Detail:
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was a measure passed by US Congress that allowed the US President to make military actions, like increase troops, without formal declaration of war. It led to huge escalation of US involvement in the Vietnam War. The resolution was passed by Congress in August, 1964, after alleged attacks on two US naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin. The key wording in the resolution said:
- <em>Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.</em>
That resolution served as a blank check for President Johnson to send troops to whatever extent he deemed necessary in pursuance of the war. Between 1964 and the end of Johnson's presidency in 1969, US troop levels in Vietnam increased from around 20,000 to over 500,000.
John Quincy Adams went on to win the presidency in a highly contentious election in 1824, and served only one term. Outspoken in his opposition to slavery and in support of freedom of speech, Adams was elected to the House of Representatives in 1830; he would serve until his death in 1848.
