Answer:

The correct response is that high wages had to be offered to workers recruited from many different countries in the region.

Explanation:

When the United States announced its plan to complete the Panama Canal, a new wave of recruitment of foreign workers swept across the area. Teddy Roosevelt told workers they were participating in a "great enterprise" and they were taking part in one of the "great works of the world." In 1906 there were 24,000 men working on the Panama Canal. By 1911 there were approximately 45,000 workers. The workers who were contracted came from Panama and some from the United States, but also West Indian nations like Barbados, Europe, and Asia. By the end of 1905, 20 percent of the 17,000 canal workers were Barbadian because they were willing to work for cheaper wages.

Why did some people clam that internment camps were unconstitutional?

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

As a result of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and until after the end of the war, the American government decided to confine hundreds of thousands of Japanese Americans who lived mainly on the west coast, fearing that they would collaborate with Japan during the war.

The confinement of Japanese Americans in internment camps was considered by many to be unconstitutional, illegitimate, arbitrary, and illegal. This is because the Constitution of the United States itself recognizes American citizens all civil rights, mainly freedom, without any distinction regarding race, ethnicity, color or national origin.

Which ancient civilization was not part of Northeastern Africa?

diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

The answer options are missing, but we can see which civilizations WERE part of Northeaster Africa to get the answer.

The most famous and developed was Egyptian civilization, that has a rich history and had developed around the banks of the river of Nile, at the territory of today's Egypt.

Underneath it was a Nubian territory, spread at the territory of today's southern Egypt and northern Sudan. Few civilizations developed here:

Kerma culture (The Kingdom of Kerma) at the territory of today's Sudan, that flourished around 2500 BCE.
Kingdom of Kush that developed afterward, around 1070 BCE, in the valley of southern Nile, and is divided into Napatan period (Kingdom of Napata, named for the capital of the civilization) and Meroitic period, for the later capital of Meroe.
Blemmyes culture, the group of nomadic tribes that traveled around Nubia

In Northern Ethiopia, there was the Kingdom of Aksum, although it developed only in the first century after Christ.

There were also civilizations at the place of today's Lybia - stone-age Aterian culture and the ancient Berber culture, such as iron-age Garamantes.

<h2>Therefore, any of the ancient civilizations that are not mentioned here were NOT part of the Northeathen ancient Africa.</h2>
