History

Answer:

The Declaration of Independence was issued “by authority of the good people of these colonies.” It was a revolution, you know.

The Pilgrims did not cite any specific authority for the Mayflower Compact. However, they declared themselves to be loyal subjects of the king of Great Britain. The Compact was based on their experience in organizing dissenting churches in England and, I suppose, in the Netherlands, where they had sought shelter from persecution. In some ways it was in keeping with the English common law, which dealt with problems and controversies as they arose, rather than waiting for the government to settle them. But in some ways it was a revolutionary, democratic statement, asserting the colonists’ right to make their own laws.

What two dynasties ruled India during the classical period? *<br> Your answer

larisa86 [58]

Very interesting question as there are actually three Indian dynasties during the classical period, which includes:

Maurya Dynasty(300-184BCE)

Kushan Dynasty(40-176AD)

Gupta Dynasty(320-550AD)

Gupta is the most influential one but at the same time the youngest. It might not be in the classical period depending on the source of interpretation.

I suggest you check your readings or ask your teacher to determine the span of the classical period.

Hope this helps!

Is Taiwan part of China? Is Taiwan an independent country?

Mashcka [7]

See below.

#1:

Some individuals want the world to think of Taiwan as a sovereign, independent country, but they are fully aware that this is a falsehood. Taiwan is not a country in the world. Taiwan is, by any definition, a part of China.

Taiwan is not only considered a part of China by the Beijing government, which is responsible for the Chinese mainland, but Taiwan is also considered a part of China by the Taipei government, which is responsible for Taiwan.

Taiwan is specifically identified as being a province of China in both the constitutions of the People's Republic of China in Beijing and the Republic of China in Taipei.

Foreign states who wish to "divide and conquer" China are among those that want the world to believe that Taiwan is a sovereign and independent country. They also include Taiwanese pro-Japan Quislings like Tsai Ing-wen of the Democratic Progressive Party who want to declare "Taiwan independence."

Unfortunately, these Quislings have effectively used the public education system and promoted so-called "cultural Taiwan independence" to indoctrinate an entire generation of Chinese youngsters in Taiwan into believing they are "Taiwanese, not Chinese."

Fortunately, they have the good sense not to proclaim their independence since doing so would put the Chinese mainland under pressure. Then, just as ardent Nazis did after the Third Reich fell, the Quislings for Taiwanese independence would have to flee to Japan and the US.

#2:

Taiwan is not a nation.

Or the country's definition leaves it in the gray area. as its political economy is autonomous and operative.

Since 1972, when the People's Republic of China took over as the headquarters of the United Nations from Taiwan, the Republic of China. In "dollar diplomacy," the free China and the Red Cbina have offered loans or humanitarian help in exchange for diplomatic recognition as CHINA.

After 1992, Taiwan came to an end as China and South Korea approached each other in Beijing, considerably enhancing Korea in the process. Currently, 22 or 23 small countries acknowledge Taiwan as China.

When Chen Shui Bin of the DPP was elected president of Taiwan in 2000, Taiwan's claim to be China was virtually abandoned since the DPP supports Taiwan as an independent state rather than China.

As the PRC sets itself for global invasion, the Mainland continues to attempt to drive Taiwan into oblivion by offering cheap interest loans or other financial incentives: Zimbabwe is making the Chinese yuan one of its official currencies. At the United Nations and other international organizations, Taiwan is not represented (has no seat).

Thank you,

Eddie
