3 0

Answer:

Lin described the British merchants as "people who are carefully of their own lives but rather are careless of other people's live and indifferent in the gain they want to make not considering the harm others "

Explanation:

Lin Zexu was the commissioner in charge of the trading port in of the east India company in Canton. He was appointed by the Emperor based on the death of his son as result of overdose intake of the opium that was imported into China.

However, Lin made all efforts to stop all these importation by taking all strict measures to end the trade. He put more efforts by writing letter to the Queen informing her of the atrocities committed by the British merchants involved in the opium trade.

The British were uncooperative which lead to Lin seizing their goods there by resulting in the opium war of 1839-1842. It lead to Lin being removed and the trade was renegotiated between Britain and China because they won the war.

Why did Osama bin Laden’s group, Al-Qaeda, attack the United States?
slavikrds [6]

After the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, bin Laden had seen the attack as an insult and act of aggression towards Islam. That's when he began to start a resistance against the Union. He had collaborated with many Arab volunteers to help with the resistance. After much help from Afghan resistance leaders and his collaboration with Azzam, Osama had created a militant network named al-Qaeda (the Base) in 1988. This is basically how him and his base attacked the U.S., 12 years later.

Hope this helped a lot!

From 1919, Ghandi openly belonged to the front of the Indian nationalist movement. He established new methods of social struggle, such as the hunger strike, and in his programs he rejected armed struggle and carried out a preaching of the ahimsa (nonviolence) as a means to resist British rule and to reveal the abuses and problems of colonialism in his country.
