I’m pretty sure it’s D: Water
1. Saddam Hussein, the leader of Iraq, was afraid the Shiite south of Iraq (rich in oil) would rebel against the Sunni Baath Party, which Hussein headed, because of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.
2. The Shatt al-Arab waterway was also another reason. The waterway caused much tension in the region because who controlled it had much influence in trade for the region.
no way to see what reading this is coming from, do you have a powerpoint?
The correct answer is 3) exploited indigenous peoples.
The econmienda system was used by the Spanish in their colonization efforts of the New World. This labor system revolved around land being given to Spanish colonizers. These colonizers would then be given a group of indigenous people to work on their land. Besides providing them with shelter, the people who owned the land were supposed to convert the Natives to Christianity.
Despite the good intentions of this system it backfired mightly, as Spanish land owners treated indigenous people poorly. This system was close to a type of slavery in which the indigenous people had almost no political or legal power.
