Answer:Two of Swift's pro-Irish writings were, 'The Drapier's Letters' which encouraged the boycott of English copper coins, and, 'A Modest Proposal' which drew attention to starvation in Ireland.

Explanation:According to Wikipedia, 'The Drapier's Letters (1724) was a series of pamphlets against the monopoly granted by the English government to William Wood to mint copper coinage for Ireland. It was widely believed that Wood would need to flood Ireland with debased coinage in order to make a profit. In these "letters" Swift posed as a shop-keeper—a draper—to criticise the plan. Swift's writing was so effective in undermining opinion in the project that a reward was offered by the government to anyone disclosing the true identity of the author. Though hardly a secret (on returning to Dublin after one of his trips to England, Swift was greeted with a banner, "Welcome Home, Drapier") no one turned Swift in, although there was an unsuccessful attempt to prosecute the publisher Harding.Thanks to the general outcry against the coinage, Wood's patent was recinded in September 1725 and the coins were kept out of circulation.'

According to Wikipedia, 'A Modest Proposal For preventing the Children of Poor People From being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and For making them Beneficial to the Publick, commonly referred to as A Modest Proposal, is a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift in 1729. The essay suggests that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. This satirical hyperbole mocked heartless attitudes towards the poor, as well as British policy toward the Irish in general. The primary target of Swift's satire was the rationalism of modern economics, and the growth of rationalistic modes of thinking in modern life at the expense of more traditional human values.'

Allisa [31]

When World War I broke out in Europe, the president Woodrow Wilson follow the policy stated in option B. He declared U.S. Neutrality and the right to trade with both sides.

Keeping in mind that, 1 in every 7 Americans were born in some of the countries at war, the president highly believed that his country must remain neutral. Besides that, by the time the WWI began The United States was in an economic recession, so his government couldn't provide any economic support to the war, and instead decided to focus on selling its goods to France and Britain because they were really interested in American products, and that's why the administration disguised neutral duties in ways that tended to favor the Allies.

Why did clergy in the eastern and western empire interpret the bible differently.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: They spoke different languages.

Explanation:

The language differences of the Latin speaking Western and Greek speaking Eastern Roman empire led to them interpreting the Bible differently as some phrases were translated differently in one language as opposed to another.

This difference contributed to a gradual division between the two churches which culminated with the Great Schism of 1054AD where the Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Churches were formally split.
