What was the relationship between racism and slavery?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Racism is "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race <u>based on the belief that one's own race is superior</u>."

When one believes he/his race is superior, he by default looks down on others. This leads to "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race" because he doesn't consider their feelings and/or opinions worth as much as his own if not completely worthless. In a case where one considers another as inferior he may even subjugate them.

Why is the Yellow River (Huang He River) sometimes referred to as "China's sorrow" in Chinese history?
igor_vitrenko [27]
The nickname "China's Sorrow" memorializes the millions that have been killed during the Huang He River's many diversions and floods. Most notably, in June 1938, the Nationalist Chinese Army used the river to block the Japanese army, killing an estimated 800,000 Chinese citizens and very few Japanese soldiers.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The mother country controlled trade and exported more than imported

Explanation:

The British Empire came up with a strategy to keep their economy quite healthy with a system called mercantilism. The colonies of the British were the ones making money for the mother country and they put restrictions on how the colonies should spend their monies.  

The British put certain taxes on goods that were brought into the country to discourage that practice and this made the colonies to buy goods that were only made by the British and not that of the European countries.
