Answer:

Explanation:

trans-atlantic trade promoted colonies since colonial powers could now use foreign nations as a trading post and get cheaper, government-subsidized products by colonizing places with different exports. Mercantilism promotes imperialism, tariffs and subsidies on traded goods to achieve peak economical strength, so it's no surprise imperialist powers used tariffs on colonists and subsidies on colonial goods in their home countries! Also, mercantilism promotes exports and minimizes imports (sound familiar? colonies were sort of puppet organizations of a larger empire, where the colonies would just export goods the empire wanted to trade with or buy cheaper).

What was the concept of voting rights based on?
aleksandrvk [35]
It's based on the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This prohibits the states and various political parties from putting voting qualifications or any other requirements in order to proceed with voting. Take note that this is all for the sake of the Civil Rights of the citizen so that everyone will be able to have a fair way to vote - regardless of status and color. 

Before this happened, take note that only a few African Americans had access to voting. There were even tests conducted to see if they are worthy for voting - indicating a bias in their colored race.

how did industrialization and expansion bring about the competing forces of nationalism and sectionalism
IrinaVladis [17]
To industrialize so that they could catch up with western powers or stay strong, they had to constantly use natural resources. Once they realized that their own natural resources were not enough, they had to expand imperialistically; that is, acquiring overseas/overland colonies, such as the British in India producing cotton and textiles and the Spanish in Latin America.

As time went on and the abuses of these mother nations went on, those who were ruled over decided to band together as a common ethnic group with the same goal of getting rid of their rulers and unifying their split up groups. This resulted in the unification of people, an independent nation, as well as the removal of foreign powers within that nation.

Examples include the various revolutions throughout the west: the American, French, Haitian, and Latin American revolutions, as well as the revolutions throughout Africa: the revolutions in Algeria, Angola, and Ghana.

However, not all people within a nation were entirely for this idea, resulting in the competing forces of nationalism and sectionalism. For example, during the process of unification in Italy, there were areas of modern Italy that were very different from the other parts of Italy, becoming an obstacle for unification. Specifically, Piedmont, which is Northern Italy today, was industrialized and had a centralized system of governance, while areas in Southern Italy, such as Sicily, were poor and still had an agrarian society.
