History

Answer: Balkans were called the "powder keg" of Europe because of the tensions and conflicts in the political situation going on. The Balkans consisted of numerous ethnic people, different religious groups, several  cultural backgrounds.

Explanation:

The Balkans were preceded by World War 1 and in the early 20th century. Men from several countries joined the Balkan League because some were still under Ottoman rule even though independence had been achieved. It only took 4 states to defeat the Ottomans during the first war. However, Bulgaria was defeated in the 2nd war. When the "powder keg" finally exploded after fighting back and forth, this was when  the first World War was started.

The first one is not true directly. However they use the media for fundraiser announcements and pleas for more money. This is probably the second best answer.

I think B is the answer. The media is intended to communicate information. What elected officials are doing is information <<<<

Unfortunately C is also correct. The media is used to spread messages (sometimes labeled propaganda.) Which to pick?

And so is D. Gallop polls certainly are of great interest to the media, also as much as they are of interest to the elected officials.

In what way was siam different from other countries of southeast asia
Dmitriy789 [7]
It was different because it remained independent during the colonial era when the rest of South East Asia was colonized. It modernized itself and worked with both British and French colonies but remained independent and chose who they wanted to work with. The territory of Siam is what is nowadays known as Thailand, so you can see that Thailand managed to develop itself and its culture independently of the colonizers who ran rampant among the South East Asian region and which caused many wars in recent times.
