In 1924 the U.S. Congress passed legislation severely limiting immigration from Europe, and cutting off almost all immigration f

rom Asia. Two years earlier the Supreme Court had ruled that Asians were ineligible for U.S. citizenship. The Japanese viewed such measures as deliberate insults, and responded by organizing boycotts of American products. The following editorial appeared in the April 29, 1924 issue of the Japan Times and Mail.
The fact remains that the Senate has passed, with an overwhelming majority, an amendment which they know is a most humiliating one to the Japanese race, and the event cuts the Japanese minds deep, a wound that will hurt and rankle for generations and generations....
...[T]he Senate has been most unfortunate in the choice of time for taking its action. While professing to be jubilant over the increased prospects of permanency of peace in consequence of the Washington Conference, all Japanese have ever since felt in the secret recesses of their heart that their country has been considerably weakened in its naval strength. To add to this there came that great devastating earthquake of last year [1923, when a massive earthquake destroyed a large section of Tokyo], with its far reaching effect in all directions, seen especially in the ever-increasing balance of the country’s trade on the wrong side. It has been said openly more than once in different quarters abroad that Japan is as good as crushed to a naval and economic helplessness, from which there will be no recovering for a generation or two. Mark, then, it is at such a time that the Senate of the United States has said practically this: “We deliberately offer you this insult, knowing that you can do no more than make a wry face.”
This is extremely unfortunate. For a friendly turn in the hour of need will be remembered permanently, but an unfriendly act that takes advantage of one’s helpless condition makes nothing of all the past and darkens the long future....

In what way did Christopher Columbus fail to meet his objective concerning his voyage in 1492?
Gennadij [26K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>C. His original objective in his 1492 voyage was to find a westerly route to the Orient. He never reached the Orient. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

"Christopher Columbus" was an Italian explorer and a navigator. His voyage in 1492 was an endeavor to reach the Orient using the shortest path.

Columbus failed to reach the Orient and reached Indies, partly due to some error and partly due to the thought process. This route was shorter than the original route by approximately 7000 miles.

Columbus and his cruise had landed on islands surrounding Asia uncertain of the region where they landed. It is said that they stepped on the Watling Island.

What did Roosevelt do which had never been done before in conservation?
castortr0y [4]
What President Roosevelt did which has never been done before in conservation was that the president made conservation a major part of his administration. He was a dynamic force in the new movement which was known as conservationism. The president saw the need to preserve natural resources and he put in place appropriate mechanisms to do this. At the end of his tenure, he had already built five national parks, four game refugees, fifty one national bird reservations and national forest service.
