The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question is incomplete and does not refer to any specific war, we can assume that it refers to the end of the Civil War, when the Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrenders at the Appomattox, Virginia, after the victory of the Union Army led by General Ulysses Grant. The date: April 9, 1865. The two generals had great respect for each other and Grant showed his respect to Lee and had a conversation before signing the terms of the surrender. With the authorization of President Abraham Lincoln, the terms of the surrender were generous because Lincoln really wanted a long term peace and the unity of the nation. The Confederate troops had to turn in their weapons and were allowed to return to their homes.

I think the terms were correct because what was most important at the time was not punishment but unity. The war had killed many soldiers and caused so much damage and pain in the United States. So, Lincoln wanted unity and peace, and that is how he thought about these terms.

"Dear Momma.

       Life in the infantry was hard... I'd no sleep... I gave up my stripes. Lieutenant Ackerson is meaner than a bull on a farm... By god the cold.... I'm not used to it like the white boys are. I'm only used ta' the hot Texas heat. The media usually ignores me. But they are a talkin' to the white boys like they're heroes... I don't think I'll be welcome when I come back. At least... I'm proving something for my country. That I'll be fighting. For the good of the united states."

Which of the following is a key similarity between the constitutional republic and the British monarchy?
My name is Ann [436]

The correct answer is C. Both a constitutional republic and the British Monarchy have its own legislative body, which is the branch of the State responsible of making laws.

The constitutional republics have a legislative body in order to keep the separation of powers within the state, which guarantees the full existance of democracy.

The British Parliament was created to restrict King's powers.  In this way, the Monarchy ceased to be absolute and started  to be under parliamentary control from society.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

D. “That is incorrect. The dynasty strengthened and unified China.”

Explanation:

The Qin dynasty (221 a.c. - 206 a.c.) unified China under the hand of Zheng, the young king of the Qin state, and his prime-minister Li Si. Zheng conquered the feudal states of Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi and adopted the name Qin Shi Huangdi meaning "First Emperor".  Shi Huangdi was violent, unpopular and considered an autocratic tyrant, his government was bureaucratic and legalist, opposed to Confucio´s predicaments. However, important buildings such as the first part of the Great Wall of China and the terracotta warriors (found in Shi Huangdi´s tomb) belong to this period.
