Answer:
B. To expand it's influence throughout Asia
Explanation:
During Japan's time of expansion in World War One, communism was only prevalent in the Soviet Union. It wasn't spreading like it later would after World War 2. It did not want to protect it's territory from Chinese aggression. China knew that if they got in a war with Japan, they would lose in terms of area and population. Japan did not want to remain neutral either, Emperor Hirohito wanted Japan to ally with it's closest allies. So, the answer is actually option B.
The middle passage was the transporting of slaves from Africa to America. Many slaves perished on this journey due to the conditions.
That's quite a lot of questions for one Brainly post! I won't aim to respond to each of those individual questions, but to the questions as a set.
All four thinkers referenced -- Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu and Wollstonecraft -- were aiming to use reason and evidence to analyze issues in society and suggest solutions.
Hobbes, observing what he saw as the natural suspicion and competition human beings have of one another, suggested that establishing strong governmental authority is the only way to ensure stability and security for us to live together in society.
Locke had a more favorable view of human nature, and believed that if we acted reasonably we could together construct societies in which we respected one another's rights and worked to improve our mutual condition as a majority-governed body politic.
Montesquieu used his reason to research and analyze governments and set forth what governments he saw working best in which situations. The idea of "checks and balances" that we have in our American system was something he proposed (as the quoted text indicated).
Wollstonecraft applied principles of reason to the role of women and the rights for girls to be educated for active participation in society and civic life.
Best wishes to you as you work out your more specific answers to the whole array of questions you're working with on this assignment!
