A tariff is a tax that is placed on either imported or exported goods. It is a means of taxing foreign goods to encourage domestic industry. The answer is false.
An element is a pure substance. Simply look at the periodic table for examples of elements. Some examples are oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen.
A compound is composed of two or more elements. Some examples include water (hydrogen and oxygen combination) and carbon dioxide (carbon and oxygen combination).
Compounds can be separated by chemical means, while elements cannot be further broken down (because they are pure)
Answer
This late Victorian alphabet, written and illustrated by Mary Frances Ames (writing as Mrs. Ernest Ames), aims to teach young Britons their ABCs — along with a veneration for military might, empire, and colonialism. At the end of the 19th century, the British Empire was nearing the zenith of its empire and territorial holdings. With unchallenged naval superiority, Britain extended formal control over India and large swaths of Africa, as well as indirect economic control over many more nations. That global hegemony is celebrated in this children’s book, with racist illustrations of tiger hunts in India, “naughty” Africans in chains, and fearsome displays of military power to excite the next generation of conquerors. It also includes classic British icons such as roast beef and unicorns.
Explanation:
What did our Victorian forebears think of their country, the empire, the army and navy, the life they led and, of course, their beloved Queen? Hundreds of mighty tomes have been written about the great colonial years when Britain ruled the waves but perhaps none summed it up so succinctly as this ABC for Baby Patriots first published in 1899. Was it written to instil patriotic and imperial values into children? After all, the great Empire builder Cecil Rhodes had said 'Remember that you are an Englishman and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life'; or was it a disapproving tongue in cheek comment on jingoism? You must judge for yourself. Either way it provides an extraordinary view of the Victorian values and attitudes that made Britain great.
The Spinning Jenny allowed the string of cotton to be put into a thicker fiber, that could hold up to more extremes, at a faster rate.
The United States embargoed scrap-metal shipments to Japan and closed the Panama Canal to Japanese shipping. This hit Japan's economy particularly hard because 74.1% of Japan's scrap iron came from the United States in 1938 :)
