Western nations turn out to be fascinated in Saudi Arabia
during the twentieth century for the reason that oil was revealed on the
Arabian Peninsula. Subsequent World War II the United States made a special
relationship with Saudi Arabia assuring its safety however also making a
partnership to mine oil from the Kingdom.
One reason is the policy of salutary neglect. Salutary neglect was a policy of Britain which basically meant that the colonies didn't have to follow all the British laws as long as they didn't cause any problems. People were satisfied with ti because they weren't bothered by Britain. When the French-Indian war ended, the policy of salutary neglect was abandoned and the crown started pressuring people more to obey the laws and this caused mass dissatisfaction.
Another is the political power that they had. Before 1763, they were allowed to purchase land and deal with the natives in such purchases and if they were rich enough they could even start their own colonies as governors or rule their own colony as a company. This was forbidden after 1763 and all governing started belonging to the British crown exclusively.
What are the answer choices
No, I don’t believe in souls.
Humans are mortal.
George W. Bush's environmental policies during his presidency weren't that succesfull to begin with. On his presidential campaign he promised tu reduce carbon dioxide emissions by a considerable amount and a year after he won, he backed down on that promise claiming that carbon dioxide was not a pollutant under the Clean Air Act and that restricting it, it would cause energy prices to go up.
In 2001, he got out of the Kyoto Protocol, a treaty that required nations to reduced their greenhouse emissions and even the administration views on global warming were really controversial. They acknowledged it but they claim that it was because of natural causes instead of man made.
On the other hand, under Barack Obama's presidency, the largest marine reserve in the world was established, but to be fair, it was started by Bush's administration, albeit in a much smaller scale. He rejected the Keystone XL oil pipeline, voted against Bush's CLean Skies act, raised the fuel efficiency standards and invested in green energy during the Great Recession.
Hope this helps!
