<u>Answer:</u>

Continuing the war was becoming too expensive.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The British had already waged several wars for consecutive decades and had not been able to pay the war debts of the earlier wars.

They already relied on the American colonies for the taxes so that they could repay the war debts.

But being at war with the colonies itself cut their source of revenue entirely.

Hence, it became difficult for the British to continue the war with the colonies owing to the heavy expenses.

On September 2, 1945, following the surrender of Japan and the end of World War II, General Douglas MacArthur

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

I think Mac was talking about if they would treat the Japanese well, then they will not be looking for revenge. After World War 1, they treated the Germans really bad in the peace deal and France had ruthless occupation in the Rhineland of Germany. That why the NAZI party took power, people today wonder how can such people vote Hitler in and this is why. If they would treat the Japanese like how they treated the Germans after World War 1 , there would be no peace between the Japaneses and the Americans. America fought world war 2 not to bring japan horrific occupation but a occupation with justice.

Explanation:

The U.S had some Reconstruction plans that would save japan from a new dictatorship. Many people wanted japan to fall and have a ruthless occupation as revenge. What I mean by "ruthless" is take the wealth away from japan and as much of the land resources as possible for revenge. Mac Arthur knew this would not only cause unrest but revenge.

Do you think the Protestant Reformation would have taken place if the printing press had not existed?

irinina [24]

I think it is unlikely to occur and if it occurs only a small portion of Europe. The printing press becomes a significant factor of the spreading of Protestant Reformation due to the access of information is much easier and effective to transmit around rather than word of mouth. The prints also are easier and cheap to produce.
