History
1 answer:
NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago
7 0
<span>China was a big exporter of silk and tea. It was exchanged for gold and precious metals. However, China kept its markets closed for the British which made trade a one-way road. The British didn't accept this situation and it leads to war. The Chinese lost the war and were forced to have free trade ports (Treaty Ports) with the British. It was called the opium war because it was the drug of choice for many Chinese people. It was something the British imported into China. Not that the Chinese used a lot of drugs. Raw opium has a relaxing effect (similar to a few drinks). It can't be compared to opium derivates like morphine and heroine.</span>

Why did the value of the money printed during the revolutionary war plummet ?
nata0808 [166]

In addition to this the colonies simply printed more money to pay for things which led to an enormous rise in the amount of currency in circulation which led to massive deflation. This massive deflation led the value of currency to plummet during the Revolutionary War.

How do National Parks fit in with Muir's ideas about preservation?
ElenaW [278]

<span>John Muir thought that the parks should be preserved for poor people as well as rich. Thus, Americans of all sorts shared the same need for getting back in touch with nature. Though Recreation on National Parks is commonly expressed purpose of the parks which usually means outdoors exercise in the form of hiking, camping, fishing or boating, it fits on John Muir understanding that recreation should be a re-creating of our inner selves through immersion in nature. He wrote in his book of “Our National Parks” on 1901 that the parks should offer winldness which is another word for nature and that wildness is a necessity. Moreover, he belived that a nation of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people seek in the parks an escape from the vice of over-industry and the deadly apathy of luxury. </span>
