The Soviet Union turned back their ships on their way to Cuba due to a naval blockade set up by the United States.
This blockade by the United States was done after they found out that the Soviet Union had missiles in Cuba that could hit almost every American city. The US government was worried that the Soviet Union would continue to bring in weapons as a means to prepare for war. To stop this from happening, the US Navy set up a blockade which would prevent the Soviet Union from getting any more weapons into Cuba.
B) Realization that their civilizations were backward and poor was not a reason for doing this. After being deceived from Western powers, there was a determination among the Chinese and the Japanese to keep outsiders from changing traditional beliefs and practices, and they did not want Europeans to control them and hold all their power. They also wanted to be independent and self-sufficient, as well as fully sovereign.
Its b for sure :) :) anytimeee
Populist Party: this was the party of the farmer during the Gilded Age (late 1800s in the US).
The Populist Party wanted reform and regulations for capitalism which would allow them more success as farmers. They also wanted more democratic say in the government reducing the power of those with money.
Darn it i just had it in my head.
