Answer:

The Tea Act of 1773 was one of several measures imposed on the American colonists by the heavily indebted British government in the decade leading up to the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). The act’s main purpose was not to raise revenue from the colonies but to bail out the floundering East India Company, a key actor in the British economy. The British government granted the company a monopoly on the importation and sale of tea in the colonies. The colonists had never accepted the constitutionality of the duty on tea, and the Tea Act rekindled their opposition to it. Their resistance culminated in the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, in which colonists boarded East India Company ships and dumped their loads of tea overboard. Parliament responded with a series of harsh measures intended to stifle colonial resistance to British rule; two years later the war began.

The treaties that settled the conflict referred to in the passage most directly change the Geo political structure the middle ea

Svet_ta [14]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to attach the passage and the options for this question.

However, trying to help you we did some deep research and can say the following.

The treaties that settled the conflict referred to in the passage most directly change the Geopolitical structure of the middle east in the following way: "Allied Powers received territorial mandates from the League of Nations."

The League of Nations was formed after World War I in order to prevent another armed conflict. It was the precursor of the United Nations. United States President Woodrow Wilson was one of the most important supporters of the idea although, in the end, the United States decided no to be part of the League.

The reason was that European Allies did not accept the terms of Wilson's Plan. More than peace, European countries such as France and Great Britain wanted revenge and forced Germany to pay for war retributions.

The League of Nations was a forum to resolve disputes among member countries. Through its charter, member nations pledged to act collectively against any country that attacked a member country.

What was the significance of the location of the french blockade during the american revolution

rodikova [14]

During the American Revolutionary War (American War of Independence; 1775–1783), France recognized and allied itself with the United States in 1778, declared war on Great Britain, and sent its armies and navy to fight Britain while providing money and matériel to arm the new republic. French intervention made a decisive contribution to the U.S. victory in the war. Motivated by a long-term rivalry with Britain and by revenge for its territorial losses during the French and Indian War, France began secretly sending supplies in 1775. Spain and the Netherlands joined France, making it a global war in which the British had no major allies. France obtained its revenge, but materially it gained little and was left with over 1 billion livres in debts.
I probably misspelled some stuff here or there, but it beats being slow :)
