The Twenty-one demands were a set of requirements made by the Empire of Japan to the Republic of China.

These notorious demands were issued at a time of shifting balance of power in East Asia. With the Qing dynasty’s humiliating defeat in the first Sino-Japanese War (1894-95), regional dominance for the first time had moved from China to Japan. Japan’s ambitions in China were further emboldened by its decisive victory in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05), which affirmed the Japanese presence in south Manchuria and Korea. The 1911 Revolution brought an end to the Qing dynasty and ushered in the Republican era in China, but China remained a pushover in the face of pressure from Western Powers. Furthermore, Yuan’s ruling status itself was shaky due to threats from competing local warlords. World War I granted Japan a perfect opportunity to push the envelope even more with China. As the war was underway in Europe, the Japanese hoped that other major powers would show little interest in countering Japanese expansion in China. For these reasons, Japanese Foreign Minister Kato was convinced that the filing of an ultimatum buttressed by the war threat would cause China to accept all the demands. so basically to control most of asia

What trends do you think will characterize federalism in the near future an expansion in national power or a return of power to

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The current Republican administration and the Republican-controlled Congress seem to support less government expenditure. Spokesman Ryan, as a rule, has shown a bias for fiscal discipline. President Trump went on a campaign that pledged government expenditure to save employment but did not generally deliver, and his position against the ACA showed a desire to reduce state action. It is also clear from the income cap that the state will get less revenue and that its expenditure and capacity to act will be lowered. Recent occurrences in Puerto Rico and the absence of complete assistance for the island represent less public action. I think that this pattern will persist at least until the next Congressional elections.
