The main cause of the armed conflict between Great Britain and China was related to the trade of Opium. China tried several times to stop illegal commercialization of the drug by foreign traders, among which the British played a key role.

Confrontations rose as both nations took retaliation against each other. China destroyed a large opium cargo stored in a warehouse, causing a growth of antagonism. These wars are known as 'Opium Wars'.

The cause of the armed conflict between Great Britain and China was that Great Britain refused to stop selling opium in China.

It was called the First Opium War, also called the Anglo-Chinese War or the Opium War. This conflict between China (the Qing dynasty) and Great Britain focused around the port of Canton and was a series of military arrangements fought between these two countries. Their main conflicts were that they had different perspectives on trade, diplomatic relations and the administration of justice in China.

Read the excerpt from Herbert Hoover’s “Rugged Individualism” speech, delivered on October 22, 1928. Choose two highlighted exam
Rashid [163]

All highlighted examples show how Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) believed that once the federal government started to take directly participate in the economic system the inevitable outcome would be the loss of freedom.

In the first and second examples he is saying that once the government starts to take part, it goes all the way into the private lives of individuals which would be an attack against the basis of freedom.

Hoover thought like this because for him freedom only exists in the private life when it's kept away and separate from the government.

The third and fourth examples have the same meaning as the priors only now he is talking specifically about economics. He believed the problem of the Great Depression should be figured out by private businesses and the government should only cushion the situation.

Amenican Indians who lived in the West
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

American Indians who lived in the West tried to prevent settlers from moving onto their territory.

Explanation:

American Indians previously occupied the west  and viewed settlers as invaders.  However, resisting the encroachment of the settlers proved very difficult. The American Indians were forced onto reservations and the American settlers began to systematically kill the buffalo herds to try to weaken the American Indian position. The settlers broke many of the treaties the US government had established with the American Indians in the West, further taking their land.  Many heroic American Indians like Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse made  courageous efforts to save their people but unfortunately many communities were pressured onto reservations or assimilated and suffered violence.

Place the technology advancements in the order in which they emerged. Tiles the first school of oceanic navigation Ptolemy’s map
rjkz [21]

Here's the order:

  1. Ptolemy's map of the world
  2. the first school of oceanic navigation
  3. Portuguese caravels with triangular sails

Details:

Ptolemy (ca. 100-150 AD) was an astronomer, mathematician and geographer in the Roman Empire era.  Ptolemy's map of the world was a map based on descriptions in Ptolemy's book, <em>Geography, </em>which dates back to around the year 150 AD.

Prince Henry the Navigator started the first school for oceanic navigation at Sagres, Portugal, for training in navigation, map-making, and science. The date of founding of the school (and even full details about it) are a bit uncertain, but it seems to have been established in about 1418.  Prince Henry was called "The Navigator" because of his strong support for sending out ocean exploration voyages.

Caravels were developed by the Portuguese around the middle of the 15th century (around 1450).  These more agile ships were better suited to ocean sailing than previous ship models used in the calmer waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
