Rise
The rise of Islam in Africa and Asia was a consequences of years of military and political strategies as well as missionary work. After the Arab peninsula was united under one leadership of the prophet of Islam, there was enough stability and funding to expand abroad.
Islam grew out of a region that is correctly identified as the Middle East, completely in between both Africa and vast Asia.
The natural expansion of the religion took place in Palestine and to the east in, Syria and Persia up til modern-day Pakistan.
On the west, the expansion was naturally in Egypt and North Africa.
Fall
While Islam never 'Fell' out of Africa, there was a marked decline in Islamic Empires. This was mostly due to European powers who were scrambling for Africa. This saw the English, French, Belgians all conquer large parts of the land and use them for slaves and other trades.
Id say C but in reality it was more profitable because farmers had to pay slaves next to nothing if not anything and could have multiple workers in poor conditions so mass amounts of free workers saved them money and they could work them 24 hours a day until they dropped making the process go faster producing more than other competing farms. A sad truth from our past.. hope this helps!
In common sense, Paine suggested that American independence from Britain was an absolute necessity, since he thought it was absurd for such a small island to rule over such a vast territory.
The option is D.
The best example of this is colonial
India, where several famines happened under British Rule, being the
first major of it in 1770, in the region of Bengal, where about
a quarter or a third of the population starved to death in a ten-month
period, and East India Company's raising of taxes to farmers
disastrously coincided with this, exporting
the majority of the crops to Europe, and leaving poor most of the population that was employed in agriculture in that moment.
