Answer 1

The correct answer is D) the attempts of European nations to control trade in China.

The Open Door Policy resulted from the attempts of European nations to control trade in China.

The United States came up with the concept of "Open Door Policy" in 1899. They wanted to protect the same privileges to the countries that traded with China. The US did not want European nations and other Asian powers to absolutely control the commerce activity with the Asian country. US Secretary of State informed other nations of this situation. Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia, Japan, and Germany. These countries accepted the initiative that regulated trade actions between these countries for four decades.
