European civilization experienced a period of unprecedented rapid expansion around the globe during the last third of the nineteenth century. European nation-states had become very powerful because of industrialization and because of the organizational efficiency of the nation-state.
European global expansion had actually begun in the fifteenth century, but the process greatly accelerated in the nineteenth century.
Latin America and the seaports of Asia and Africa were the first to be colonized by Europeans. Native Americans were liquidated or thoroughly subjugated to European rule.
Most Latin American descendents (Latinos) of the Spanish conquerors gained independence from Spain by the early 19th century, while many indigenous peoples remained subject.

<em>A. Congress was denied power to regulate trade.</em>
Explanation:
The Articles of Confederation had many weaknesses, it did not give proper power to the national government, so they could not regulate trade, enforce laws, or tax citizens. Colonists were scared that if enough power got into the hands of the government, the same thing would happen with what happened with Great Britain. Although the national government had no judicial branch, would also be correct in this case, as the national government did not have enough power or resources to do so, the question states "mercantile laws", which have to do with trade. Congress did not have any power to regulate trade under the Articles of Confederation, as they hated how the British used to enforce laws on them about what they can and cannot trade, and who they can and cannot trade with.
First, we must note the difference. The federal system used under the USA allows the government to be branched, so that each area of the land is allowed to focus on their own problems, with a general government to help enforce, supply, and be the 'parent' of the smaller governments. In this way, it eases the tasks needed for a central government, which in turn can focus on national interest and over-sea policies. This type of government also has three branches, and with the passage of the checks-and-balances, allows the three to share equal power and to make sure that none of the branches become to powerful (in becoming a unitary government).
In a unitary system, however, the central government (national) is the only power and only gives its power to those they wish to have. The country is only governed by one branch, the executive branch, which also incorporates all other branches together too. However, there are many sub-branches, but they do not have the same rights (as they do not have checks-and-balances, as in the federal system). These rights are given by the central government, who has the final say in all things.

The Korean War, is the direct cause for the Korean Peninsula being split in to separate nations. The north is a authoritarian dictatorship with their leader Kim Jong un, having complete control, whilst the south is a relatively peaceful country.
