Answer:

The correct answer is the letter b) the U.S. dollar emerged as the dominant world currency, gradually replacing the British pound for the role.

Explanation:

The dollar became a reference throughout the world in the first half of the 20th century, when the gold standard, adopted until then, failed. Until the beginning of the First World War, financial institutions adopted a fixed rate for their currencies in relation to the other. Trade negotiations were carried out respecting this fixed price, preventing some countries from altering their exchange rate to increase their exports and reverse trade deficits, thus guaranteeing the stability of the economy.

With the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the gold standard fell, reflecting the major imbalances it caused in economies around the world. Then, a difficult transition period began. Discussions about the new model started during World War II, and the view that the best strategy would be something similar to that adopted during the gold standard, with a fixed exchange rate, based on a hard currency.

Still in the midst of world conflict, 730 delegates from 44 countries met in July 1944 in Bretton Woods, United States,

to define a new world economic order, which would help to restore world capitalism. The leaders started from two initial proposals, one American, by the US Treasury official Harry White, and one British, by the well-known economist John Keynes.

More comprehensive, according to Colistete, Keynes' proposal was centered on the creation of the International Clearing Union (ICU), which would have the role of generating and regulating credit in order to avoid very large economic fluctuations, as occurred in the interwar period. In addition, a new currency unit, the bank, would be created. White's proposal maintained the link between the exchange rate and gold, but the dollar would be the only currency with a value directly fixed in gold (US $ 35 per ounce of gold). Thereafter, all other countries would have a fixed value for their currency against the US currency.

American ideas ended up prevailing, due to the importance of the United States in the post-war scenario.

How does the map of modern Europe differ from the map of Europe in the 17th century? (5 points)
saul85 [17]
A is most likely right because a lot modern European countries get their borders from cultural and linguistic boundaries after old empires like Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Germany split up. Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Slovenia, just to name a few, were ethnic groups without countries before WW1.

B: isn't true, just look at eastern Europe in the 17th century, tons of ethnic groups living in one country. Even with more immigration to the Europe, most immigrants assimilate into European cultures.

C: Although geography can influence political borders to varying degrees, European nations don't strictly follow physical geographic features to my knowledge. There are a lot of borders based off of rivers you can see have stayed the same despite the rivers moving (Serbia and Croatia's border is a prime example)

D: I don't know what 'define' means in this context, but if it means religion and geography are the main reasons Europe get's their borders is just flat out wrong. We already talked about geography, but religion doesn't effect European borders since most European countries are christians and are secular. The only example I can think off the top of my head of religion affecting borders is in Ireland when they separated the protestant north from the rest of the island which was catholic.

Hope this helped you out :)
