A wedge issue is a political or social problem with a controversial nature. It divides a demographic or population group. They´re often used to weaken the unity of a population. In cases of a racial wedge, it refers to the intent to separate population groups attending to their ethnic group.

For example:

George W. Bush’s presidential campaign was in danger in February of 2000. John McCain had just scored an unexpected victory in New Hampshire, and his candidacy tended to triumph in numbers.

The Bush campaign was fighting to survive, so members of the political section start using a racial wedge for political gain.

South Carolina voters started suggesting that McCain’s adopted daughter from Bangladesh was really a <em>Negro </em>child he fathered out of his marriage. By the end, Bush scored a primary victory.

Whitch European country most likely monopolized the Indian cotton trade
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The European country that most likely monopolized the Indian cotton trade was Great Britain.

Explanation:

The 19th-century Great Britain was still an imperialist country. At that moment, however, it was prioritizing establishing colonies by means of free trade. It is interesting to notice the irony in the name, since the colonies were usually not free to trade with other partners at all. A colonizer would impose its presence and influence over an area or even a whole nation, forcing it to import its industrialized products and to export their raw materials. This is precisely what Great Britain did to India in the 19th century. India was absorbing textiles that Great Britain no longer had a market in Europe for. Great Britain, on the other hand, would import India's cotton, since India was no longer producing its own textiles.

How did monotheism, (belief in one god) first develop. Response should be at least 3-5 sentences.
Damm [24]
The first monotheistic religion developed in Ancient Egypt during the reign of Akhenaten, but it failed to gain a foothold and disappeared soon after his death. Monotheism did not become a permanent fixture in the world until the adoption of monotheism by Hebrews in Babylon. While monotheism is often seen as something that derived from Judaism, the history of how monotheism became pervasive and expanded beyond Judaism is complex. Integrating both historical and archaeological data, we find that the rise of monotheism has been influenced by key political events. These political events help transform not just these early monotheistic faiths but also by extension many parts of the world today.
