The timeline below provides details about American imperialism.

castortr0y [4]

The most adequate argument in favor of these changes was the colonial peoples are inviting the American leadership to develop their economy.

American Imperialism is a series of historical events characterized by American intervention in the territory of other countries since the 18th century.

The imperialism exercised by the United States to a large extent was given by the endorsement of the governments of the intervened countries. For example, in South American countries where a Creole elite had established itself in government, the United States was seen as a support to strengthen the establishment of new nations.

Additionally, during the 20th century, the United States was the country called upon to intervene to prevent the emergence of left-wing movements influenced by the ideas of the Soviet Union.

Another important aspect is that the countries offered the United States their natural resources as a form of commercial exchange and to acquire financial status at the international level.

Note: This question is incomplete because the image is missing. However I can answer it based on my general prior knowledge.

In what way the Manor system was not beneficial to the Serfs?

Leona [35]

Answer:

All the land, not necessarily all physically connected to the manor house, that was retained by the lord of a manor for his own use and support, under his own management.

serfs

Peasants under feudalism, specifically relating to manorialism. It was a condition of bondage that developed primarily during the High Middle Ages in Europe.

villein

The most common type of serf in the Middle Ages. They had more rights and a higher status than the lowest serf, but existed under a number of legal restrictions that differentiated them from freemen.

freemen

Men who were not serfs in the feudal system.

Explanation:

The lord of a manor was supported by his land holdings and contributions from the peasant population. Serfs who occupied land belonging to the lord were required to work the land, and in return received certain entitlements.

Serfdom was the status of peasants in the manor system, and villeins were the most common type of serf in the Middle Ages.

Villeins rented small homes with or without land; as part of their contract with the lord they were expected to spend some time working the land.

Villeins could not move away without the lord’s consent and the acceptance of the new lord whose manor they were to move to. Because of the protection villeins received from the lord’s manor, it was generally not favorable to move away unless the landlord proved to be especially tyrannical.

The manor system was made up of three types of land: demesne, dependent, and free peasant land.

Manorial structures could be found throughout medieval Western and Eastern Europe: in Italy, Poland, Lithuania, Baltic nations, Holland, Prussia, England, France, and the Germanic kingdoms.

Briefly explain the Bosnian Crisis. Austria-Hungary took over part of a Turkish province in Bosnia. This outraged Serbians who f

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Bosnian crisis of 1908, state of severe international tension caused by the annexation by Austria-Hungary of the Balkan provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Congress of Berlin (1878) had given Austria-Hungary the right to occupy and administer Bosnia and Herzegovina temporarily, but the provinces officially remained possessions of the Ottoman Empire. Still, the Austrian administration tried mightily and at great expense to improve the strategically valuable region economically and to link it closely with Austria-Hungary. When in July 1908 the Young Turks staged a revolution in Constantinople (now Istanbul), established a constitutional government, and inaugurated a reform program, the Austrian foreign minister Graf (count) Lexa von Aehrenthal resolved to annex Bosnia and Herzegovina before the new Turkish regime could regain control over them.

To that end Aehrenthal met the Russian foreign minister, Aleksandr P. Izvolsky, at Buchlau, in Moravia; and, on Sept. 16, 1908, Izvolsky agreed that Russia would not object to the annexation. Aehrenthal pledged that in return Austria would not object to opening the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits to Russian warships, an advantage that had been denied to Russia since 1841. By a rescript of Oct. 7, 1908, Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Izvolsky, unprepared for such immediate action, could not control the strong popular opposition to the annexation that developed in Russia. Furthermore, Serbia, which was closely related to Bosnia and Herzegovina geographically and ethnically, was outraged by the annexation. It demanded that Austria cede a portion of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Serbia, and Izvolsky, pressed by anti-Austrian opinion in Russia, was forced to support the Serbian claims. Austria, however, firmly supported by its ally Germany, threatened to invade Serbia if that country persisted in its demands. Russia, having failed to secure equally strong support from its ally France, could not risk a war against both Austria-Hungary and Germany for Serbia’s sake, and in March 1909 Izvolsky notified Germany that Russia accepted Austria’s annexation. Although the crisis was resolved without immediate warfare, the resulting embittered relations between Serbia and Austria-Hungary and Russia’s resentment at having been deceived and humiliated contributed to the outbreak of World War I.
