Answer:
The use of toxic chemicals as weapons dates back thousands of years, but the first large scale use of chemical weapons was during World War I.[1][2] They were primarily used to demoralize, injure, and kill entrenched defenders, against whom the indiscriminate and generally very slow-moving or static nature of gas clouds would be most effective. The types of weapons employed ranged from disabling chemicals, such as tear gas, to lethal agents like phosgene, chlorine, and mustard gas. This chemical warfare was a major component of the first global war and first total war of the 20th century. The killing capacity of gas was limited, with about ninety thousand fatalities from a total of 1.3 million casualties caused by gas attacks. Gas was unlike most other weapons of the period because it was possible to develop countermeasures, such as gas masks. In the later stages of the war, as the use of gas increased, its overall effectiveness diminished. The widespread use of these agents of chemical warfare, and wartime advances in the composition of high explosives, gave rise to an occasionally expressed view of World War I as "the chemist's war" and also the era where weapons of mass destruction were created.[3][4]
The use of poison gas by all major belligerents throughout World War I constituted war crimes as its use violated the 1899 Hague Declaration Concerning Asphyxiating Gases and the 1907 Hague Convention on Land Warfare, which prohibited the use of "poison or poisoned weapons" in warfare.[5][6] Widespread horror and public revulsion at the use of gas and its consequences led to far less use of chemical weapons by combatants during World War II.

Answer:
C.) Job loss
Explanation:
A.) is incorrect because protectionism is reduced when countries engage in more trade agreements. Reducing protectionism is generally seen as a good thing. Protectionism involves protecting a country's economy mainly by taxing imports. The fact that countries are willing to participate in more trade with other countries directly opposes this theory.
B.) is incorrect because sanctions involve decreasing trade with other countries. Sanctions are some form of penalties a country places on another to pressure or protect themselves against that country. Sanctions make it more difficult to purchase international products and can negatively impact domestic businesses and citizens.
C.) is correct because this is the only negative consequence of more trade agreements. When trade expands, citizens have an easier time buying products from other countries. If citizens begin to purchase less domestic products, some companies may lose business. With less business comes more lay offs and lost jobs.
D.) is incorrect because tariffs would be loosened if trade agreements are reached. Tariffs are taxes placed on items entering a country that are meant to discourage international purchases. Lower taxes on foreign items makes the products cheaper for consumers.
Correct answer choice is:
A. That Britain only did so out of self-interest.
Explanation:
Thomas Paine was an English American author and commentator whose "Common Sense" and different scripts inspired the Westerner Revolution, and served to cover the route for the Declaration of Independence. Common Sense is a compilation composed by Thomas Paine in 1775–76 vindicating independence from Great Britain to personages in the Thirteen Territories. Inscribed indefinite and powerful prose, Paine ordered ethical and legislative contentions to support ordinary people in the Territories to struggle for the impartial rule.
