Analyze the excerpt below from Woodrow Wilson, War Message to Congress (1917). Let us be very clear, and make very clear to all

the world what our motives and our objects are. Our object is to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic power and to set up amongst the really free and self-governed peoples of the world such a concert of purpose and of action as will henceforth ensure the observance of those principles. The menace to peace and freedom lies in the existence of autocratic governments backed by organized force which is controlled wholly by their will, not by the will of their people. A steadfast concert for peace can never be maintained except by a partnership of democratic nations. No autocratic government could be trusted to keep faith within it or observe its covenants.Only free peoples can hold their purpose and their honour steady to a common end and prefer the interests of mankind to any narrow interest of their own.What does Wilson think is the greatest threat to freedom in the world? Select the quotation from the excerpt where he describes this danger.

Answer:

**in the existence of autocratic governments backed by an organized force that is totally controlled by their will, not by the will of their people.**

The correct answer is C) The Manchus took over and created a new dynasty called the Qing.

<em>After the collapse of the Ming Dynasty what happened was that the Manchus took over and created a new dynasty called the Qing. </em>

The Qing or Manchu Dynasty was the last of the Imperial dynasties in China. It lasted from 1644 to 1911. During the dynasty the population grew up to 450 million people, forming a big part of what today is the Chinese territory. During this period, Emperor Kangxi forced the Russians to leave their fort in Albazin. Its last Emperor, Puyi, abdicated to the throne in February 1912, ending the Qing Dynasty.

How did Japan gain territory and control of areas of China during WW1?
horsena [70]

Answer:

Japan participated in World War I from 1914 to 1918 in an alliance with Entente Powers and played an important role in securing the sea lanes in the West Pacific and Indian Oceans against the Imperial German Navy as a member of the Allies. Politically, the Japanese Empire seized the opportunity to expand its sphere of influence in China, and to gain recognition as a great power in postwar geopolitics.

Japan's military, taking advantage of the great distances and Imperial Germany's preoccupation with the war in Europe, seized German possessions in the Pacific and East Asia, but there was no large-scale mobilization of the economy.[1] Foreign Minister Katō Takaaki and Prime Minister Ōkuma Shigenobu wanted to use the opportunity to expand Japanese influence in China. They enlisted Sun Yat-sen (1866–1925), then in exile in Japan, but they had little success.[2] The Imperial Japanese Navy, a nearly autonomous bureaucratic institution, made its own decision to undertake expansion in the Pacific. It captured Germany's Micronesian territories north of the equator, and ruled the islands until they were transitioned to civilian control in 1921. The operation gave the Navy a rationale for enlarging its budget to double the Army budget and expanding the fleet. The Navy thus gained significant political influence over national and international affairs.[3]
