D is the answer hope that helped
They feared that a central government would become tyrannical
The Articles of Confederation did not create a strong central government. As a result, the federal government could not negotiate foreign treaties without agreement from the states, and contained no provision for federal courts. The national government under the Articles of Confederation was simply too weak as it also lacked taxation powers
By moving into these countries and establishing trading posts, they were then able to establish a military presence.
Answer I would suggest: POISON GASES (chemical weapons)
The three gases that caused the most chemical weapons injuries and deaths during World War I were:
- Chlorine gas - which strongly affects eyes, nose, throat and lungs. If hit with a high enough dose, a person could die of asphyxiation.
- Phosgene - much more deadly than chlorine gas, and also colorless and odorless, so victims wouldn't know they were affected till it was too late. After being exposed, victims lungs would start to fill with fluid and they would slowly suffocate over a couple days' time.
- Mustard gas - which would cause blistering of the skin and extreme irritation to the eyes. Mustard gas caused the highest amount of injury casualties from chemical weapons in World War I by the effects it caused, even if it did not directly kill many.
