Answer:
Option: A. Germany invaded the neutral country of Belgium.
Explanation:
Great Britain stepped into World War I when Germany invaded Belgium. Britain had promised to support Belgium under the Treaty of London of 1839. Belgium was a neutral country which guaranteed protection from Britain. The Germans wanted the British to ignore the treaty and let them pass through Belgium. The British protect Belgium because its ports were close to the British coast. German control of Belgium would have been a threat to Britain. The British wanted to crush Germany's military capability as they entered into the war.
Being a sharecropper or raising cotton in 1875 in Mississippi is exhausting, demeaning and destroys personal initiative. Being a share cropper might mean that you will have a little something left over for yourself if you have a very good crop. But without good crops, you will have nothing. My family and I work in the fields from sun up to sundown. We don’t own the land we work on. Our owner lets us grow crops on his land and takes a percentage of any profit. Sometimes we make enough money to have enough to eat and clothe ourselves. But it is more often that we just barely scrimp by. We eat what we can grow and on occasion, we can kill a chicken that we have raised. It is not a life you would wish on anyone.
1. Role of textile manufacturing in initiating industrialization
Before industrialization the textile manufacturing system was a slow method, it demanded time and it was usually sold in local communities. But in the 1700s inventors created machines - such as the wheel shuttle and cotton gin - and techniques that improved the textile production made those businesses grow and stimulated the coal and the iron industries.
The boom of textile industrialization boosted the import of raw materials such as cotton, improved transportation of those materials and made the economy move as a whole and initiate industrialization.
2. How transportation technology advanced the Industrial Revolution
Before the Industrial Revolution transport of goods demanded a long time, it took sometimes months to send a letter or to transport something across cities. With the industrial revolution the demand increased, industries needed more and more raw materials and goods to continue production. This pushed the construction of roads, river traffic, steamboats, canals, and railroads. Those transports made production and transportation of goods easier and boosted, even more, the industrial revolution because it permitted to spread selling around the country.
3. Why the first factories were more efficient than the earlier putting-out system
The putting out system is a system that subcontracts work. A central agent contracts subcontractors that complete the work for the agent. This has many problems because it was a domestic system which workers mostly worked from home in pre-urban times.
With the development of new technology such as machines that help with the manufacturing system, the first factories became more efficient because they brought workers and machines together in one place, it increased the production and time of production was smaller.
