Answer:

The demand for Chinese products—tea, porcelain, silk, and nankeen (a coarse, strong cotton cloth)—continued after the Revolution. Having seen the British make great profits from the trade when the colonies were prevented from direct trade with China, Americans were eager to secure these profits for themselves.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

D) British gunboats forced China to make major concessions

Explanation:

The British managed to come out as the victorious side in the two Opium Wars with China. The superior military, including the gunboats, made China to make major concessions. This led to strengthening of the British influence in East Asia, and also they were the ones that controlled the opium trade. The result of this was a lot of profit for the British Empire, but a hard hit for China, which needed more then a century in order to recover economically from this and get back on track as a strong economic power.

What was significant about the Tet Offensive?
lara31 [8.8K]

The correct answer is "It was a military defeat for the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese but was a psychological victory as they demonstrated their ability  to strike anywhere in the South."

Even though the U.S. and South Vietnamese armed forces were able to expel the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese armed forces from all the positions gained in the initial stage of the Tet Offensive, the ability of the latter to strike in force towns and cities all over South Vietnam, including Saigon, the capital, it undermined the statements made by the supreme commander of all U.S. armed forces in Vietnam, General Westmoreland, about a quick end for the war at the end of that year, 1968. For most political analysts, it became evident that the end of the war was still out of reach, which had a profound and negative effect in the U.S. population and an ever increasing antiwar sentiment in the country.
