<em>D. The slave trade was banned in Washington, D.C.</em>
Explanation:
After the Mexican-American War ended, the United States had a lot more territory to deal with. Slavery was always a huge debate during this time, but now that there were more territories, people started to get nervous about how the new territories would be split up into free and slave states.
The Compromise of 1850 were laws and compromises that set the field for the slavery situation in the new territories. These laws tried to be as fair and unbiased as possible, since slavery was controversial during this time.
With these laws, California was now a free state, the slave trade was now prohibited in Washington, D.C, and Texas lost New Mexico, but got money from the government in the process.
I don't know what the choices are since your didn't put them in the question, but what did happen is that Portugal continued to go eastward and develop their new trading empire...
The plan was set forth. The giants — Calhoun, Webster, and Clay — had spoken. Still the Congress debated the contentious issues well into the summer. Each time Clay's Compromise was set forth for a vote, it did not receive a majority. Henry Clay himself had to leave in sickness, before the dispute could be resolved. In his place, Stephen Douglas worked tirelessly to end the fight. On July 9, President Zachary Taylor died of food poisoning. His successor, MILLARD FILLMORE, was much more interested in compromise. The environment for a deal was set. By September, Clay's Compromise became law.
California was admitted to the Union as the 16th free state. In exchange, the south was guaranteed that no federal restrictions on slavery would be placed on Utah or New Mexico. Texas lost its boundary claims in New Mexico, but the Congress compensated Texas with $10 million. Slavery was maintained in the nation's capital, but the slave trade was prohibited. Finally, and most controversially, a FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW was passed, requiring northerners to return runaway slaves to their owners under penalty of law
After 1900 Japan aligned itself with Britain, and Germany and Japan were enemies in World War I. Japan declared war on the German Empire in 1914 and seized key German possessions in China and the Pacific. In the 1930s, both countries adopted aggressive militaristic attitudes toward their respective regions. Hope this helped!!
