Answer:
Athens was not justified in using the money and resources of the league to build its navy and attack other city-states; the reason why Athens was not justified was because it (Athens) was also a member of the body of Greek city-states—known as the Delian League—which had a lot of successes over the Persians. On the other hand, the members of the league can be blamed for their situation because they opted to leave the Delian League which was powerful because of the navy that was controlled by Athens; the decision of the city-states to leave the League, prompted Athens to forcefully subdue and control the city-states/members of the League.
There is much debate whether or not Hirohito made the declaration. There is a lot of controversy whether he had actually done it or was it his government that was the one who was actually pulling the strings since he didn't care much about what was happening in China and his government and his cabinet took care of all Chinese invasion.
The purpose of the declaration was to justify imperialistic tendencies. They had to officially declare that they were participating in the war so they would get international support from their allies such as Germany in order to spread over China and the South East Asia region which was mostly colonized by European forces.
Answer:
Negligible most of the time, or being able to flip a major party's success at best.
Explanation:
The United States is known to be using a mostly 2 party system ever since the nation was created. The current two major parties are the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, and currently are the only two that actually win presidential elections. At best, the the largest third party (Independents) have seats within Congress, but never have they actually have a representative elected as president.
However, note what I stated at the end of the answer. Third party representatives within the US government is essential to be won over especially when trying to pass controversial party-aligned bills that may not garner support from the opposition. In cases like these, the major parties would try to appease the third parties in order to flip the majority vote to their side. In this case, they play an important role in influencing the US politics, but in any other cases, they are merely representative at best.
