Answer: In the nineteenth century, England was able to use its already powerful merchant navy to sell the huge amounts of manufactured products made by the factories built as a result of the Industrial Revolution and the invention of steam-powered machines that enabled workers to work faster and yield a greater production than ever before. The economic power obtained through trade made it possible for England to conquer more countries where it could sell its products with no competition.

Answer: D. <em>Detente</em>
Détente means "loosening" or "relaxing." Countries which have been strongly at odds with one another, with much tension between them, make an effort to relax that tension through negotiations.
In history, the famous example of détente occurred between the USA and the USSR, especially in the 1970s. There was an effort to ease the heated tensions of the Cold War. Rather than continuing the massive buildup of nuclear arsenals in an arms race, the United States and the Soviet Union began to talk to one another about the strategic reduction of armaments. The nations' leaders, Leonid Brezhnev and Richard Nixon, met in Moscow in 1972 -- the first visit of a US president to Moscow. They signed agreements stemming from these Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT), which began a new direction in policy between the two superpowers.
The main reason why Ptolemy's Earth-centered system of epicycles taught throughout Europe for over a thousand years was because this fit well with the religious narrative of the day, since people could not fathom that the world was not in fact at the center of the universe, since this would imply than human being's were not the focus of God's creation.
