adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

A localist reaction against Chinese immigration, which contributed a large number of workers who were mainly employed on the west coast of the United States.

Explanation:

Hello!

At the end of the 1840s, gold was discovered in California, which caused a great movement of people who came with the hope of obtaining great economic benefits. Many immigrants arrived from China.

In 1873, the New York bank Jay Cooke and Company went bankrupt, causing a financial crisis that hit California economically.

In the 1880s, the estimated number of Chinese in California was 100,000.

In this climate of economic uncertainty, white workers blamed the Chinese for representing unfair competition, since they often accepted jobs for a low payment. The Chinese population began to suffer many acts of violence.

The Chinese exclusion act of 1882 suspended the immigration of Chinese for 10 years.

Which words best describe king leopold ii’s actions in central africa?

serg [7]

Answer:

cruel, ruthless, genocidal

Explanation:

Leopold II, who reigned in Belgium between 1865 and 1909, sought to turn his small country into an imperial power for which he led efforts to develop the Congo River basin.

Arguing his desire to bring the benefits of Christianity, Western civilization and commerce to African natives, the monarch convinced the Eurasian powers to allow him to take control of that vast region through an organization he called the International African Association and that In 1885 he transformed into the Free State of Congo.

This private institution was not linked to the Belgian state but depended directly on the monarch, who presented himself as his "owner." It was the only private colony in the world.

But behind the philanthropic discourse of Leopold II there was a great interest in seizing the great wealth of the territory.

First, of ivory, which was immensely appreciated at the time.

Thus arose most of the wealth obtained by the monarch during the first years of the Free State of Congo.

Gradually, interest in ivory was displaced by rubber fever, when in the 1890s its use skyrocketed to produce bicycle and car wheels.

There are also many stories about the crudeness with which this material was exploited in the territories controlled by Leopold II.

He turned his 'Free State of the Congo' into a massive labor camp, made a fortune for himself by collecting rubber and contributed greatly to the death of perhaps 10 million innocents.

In 1998, the American historian Adam Hochschild published a book in which Leopold II was designated as responsible for a kind of African holocaust, which would exceed the number of dead Jews by Nazi Germany in number of victims.

What there is a coincidence among scholars was in the brutal methods used by the representatives of Leopold II to force the native population to exploit the rubber.

The method to force Congolese to work was as follows: they entered a village by force, took women and girls hostage and ordered men to enter the jungle to collect a certain quota of rubber.

While the men fulfilled the task imposed to save their wives and daughters, they starved or were subjected to sexual abuse.

In addition, those who were not able to complete the quota that had been imposed on them were threatened with the amputation of one of their hands or those of one of their children.

Is it enough to qualify Leopold II as a genocidal?

Let's take the example of Walmart, which has the large presence in the United States and is an important part of the Consumer Services Industry.

Walmart began with just one store but has grown all over the country to many unique aspects of the American economy and demographics. The United States, in contrast to what many people assume, is a very diverse country.

The culture of New England is very different from that of the Bible belt. Similarly, the African American culture of Georgia is different from the casual California where there is a vast Hispanic population.

Walmart saw an opportunity in this diversity and has grown by catering to needs of all these consumers. Communities with highly dense Hispanic population stocked food items that were very different than can be found in Jewish neighbourhoods and vice verse.

This enabled Walmart to connect with each community and grow with them over the generations.

In all this, Walmart prides itself in providing benefits to US army veterans and provides jobs to women from low-income backgrounds and the disabled.

In all this, Walmart does face a number of different challenges, including:

A slowing economy can hit the profits of the company

Competition from other companies such as Costco and even international players like Aldi and Lidl can decrease their market share

Online rivals such as Amazon have long been identified as a threat to the company and is one of the biggest challenges facing the consumer service industry.

Companies like Amazon are not only involved in retail but also in selling movies, music, etc that can completely challenge the consumer service sector

What if you time traveled and gave guns to americans during the civil war?

Kamila [148]

<span>The Civil War wasn't won or fought based on technology, since both sides had the same kind of weapons and resources, although a person could travel in time and give them pistols and modern machine guns, the conflict of the North against the South, the struggle for the abolition of slavery and the political struggle would not have been solved, and on the contrary, it had become more bloody and more deaths would have occurred, albeit in a shorter time, since battles would gain faster. </span><span>The South would have had more chances to win, even with its diminished troops, by using only modern weapons, they would have decimated the northern armies.</span>
