Was the annexation of Hawaii justified

History
1 answer:
Lorico [155]4 years ago
7 0

The answer to this really depends on what prism you are viewing it from?

As a globe, we are pretty opposed to imperialism these days. China has started to dabble a little more in the South China Sea but we mostly have our nation states and there isn't really a lot of movement.

That was not the case at the time of annexation.

So, is it ethical to subsume a sovereign nation? No

Was it strategically justifiable at the time? Yes. If the United States had not annexed Hawaii, the Empire of Japan likely would have stepped in.

Hawaii has enormous strategic value and was then justifiable at the time of annexation.

That being said, and I hope this is an obvious statement, imperialism is not a good thing and is ethically problematic.

Why was irrigation easier for egyption than for mesopotamia
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
The Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia were erratic. The rivers would flood or drought unpredictably and even shift their courses. Also, the Tigris had high banks which meant water irrigated from it would have to be drawn upward from the banks.

The Nile on the other hand followed a consistent annual inundation that brought water and fertile silt deposits right onto the crop fields. Egyptian farmers simply had to wait for the flood to recede some and plant their crops; the water and nutrient soil was already provided by the River.

3. Congress has tried to replace the Electoral College with a simple popular vote numerous times. Why has this attempt never bee
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

hope this helps

Electoral college reform proposals include (1) the district plan, awarding each state’s two at-large electoral votes to the statewide popular vote winners, and one electoral vote to the winning candidates in each congressional district; (2) the proportional plan, awarding electoral votes in states in direct proportion to the popular vote gained in the state by each candidate; and (3) the automatic plan, awarding all of each state’s electoral votes directly on a winner-take-all basis to the statewide vote winners. Major reforms of the system can be effected only by constitutional amendment, a process that requires two-thirds approval by both houses of Congress, followed by ratification by three-fourths (38) of the states, usually within a period of seven years.

Calculate the area of the regular pentagon below:
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Area of the regular pentagon is 532.40 SQUARE INCHES.

Finding the Area of a regular pentagon, use this formula:

A = 1/4 √5(5+2√5) a²

where:  a = side length.

A = 1/4 √5(5+2√5) (17.6in)²

A = 1/4 √5(5+2(2.24) 309.76 in²  

A = 1/4 √5(5+4.48) * 309.76 in²

A = 1/4 √5(9.48) *  309.76 in²

A = 1/4 √47.4 * 309.76 in²

A = 1/4 * 6.88 * 309.76 in²

A = (1*6.88*309.76in²)/4

A = 2131.15 / 4

A = 532.79 in²
