Answer:

Wars cost too much.

That’s really not a surprise. The surprise is how much more they cost than we’ve been told.

It might help to think of the nation’s post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq like a pair of icebergs. The Pentagon tells us how much we’ve each paid for the wars. But that only tells us how much of those icebergs we can see above the waves. While it includes totals for war fighting, it doesn’t track the Pentagon’s bigger war budget, interest paid on money we’ve borrowed to fight the wars, veterans’ care, and other ancillary costs. There’s a whole lot more hidden beneath the waves. The real issue isn’t whether the cost of war is high; the issue is why the U.S. government keeps under-estimating it, and why U.S. citizens and taxpayers keep tolerating it.

Which of the following was a cause of the Boxer Rebellion?
never [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. A group of Chinese peasants resisted the loss of their traditional ways of living.

Explanation:

The Boxer Rebellion was a Chinese movement against European, US and Japanese imperialism. In the spring and summer of 1900, the attacks of the Boxer movement against foreigners and Chinese Christians brought about a war between China and a coalition consisting of Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Austria-Hungary, Russia and the USA, which ended with a defeat for the Chinese.

It was directed primarily at Chinese Christians and their missionaries, and eventually at Western political and commercial influence in China in general. Eventually, it became an overriding goal for the boxers and for the forces at the Qing court who supported and nurtured them to get all foreigners removed from China. From the point of view of the foreign powers, the goal was initially to come to the aid of besieged foreigners in Beijing, but eventually there was a punitive expedition and a positional race in the expectation that the Qing dynasty would have to hand over even more power to foreign powers.
