Explanation:

Social Darwinism, the theory that human groups and races are subject to the same laws of natural selection as Charles Darwin perceived in plants and animals in nature.

Answer:

Herbert Spencer, a 19th century philosopher, promoted the idea of Social Darwinism. Social Darwinism is an application of the theory of natural selection to social, political, and economic issues. In its simplest form, Social Darwinism follows the mantra of "the strong survive," including human issues. This theory was used to promote the idea that the white European race was superior to others, and therefore, destined to rule over them.

At the time that Spencer began to promote Social Darwinism, the technology, economy, and government of the "White European" was advanced in comparison to that of other cultures. Looking at this apparent advantage, as well as the economic and military structures, some argued that natural selection was playing out, and that the race more suited to survival was winning. Some even extended this philosophy into a micro-economic issue, claiming that social welfare programs that helped the poor and disadvantaged were contrary to nature itself. Those who reject any and all forms of charity or governmental welfare often use arguments rooted in Social Darwinism.

At its worst, the implications of Social Darwinism were used as scientific justification for the Holocaust. The Nazis claimed that the murder of Jews in World War II was an example of cleaning out the inferior genetics. Many philosophers noted evolutionary echoes in Hitler's march to exterminate an entire race of people. Various other dictators and criminals have claimed the cause of Social Darwinism in carrying out their acts. Even without such actions, Social Darwinism has proven to be a false and dangerous philosophy.

Como intentaron las potencias coloniales europeas hacer que los africanos dependieran de los bienes importados?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

No sé si esto ayudará, pero espero que lo dosifique

Explanation:

Este artículo abarca la diplomacia mundial y, más en general, las relaciones mundiales de las grandes potencias, de 1814 a 1919, que enlaza con artículos más detallados. Las relaciones internacionales de los países menores están incluidas en sus propios artículos de historia. Esta era abarca el período entre el final de las guerras napoleónicas y el Congreso de Viena (1814-15), al final de la Primera Guerra Mundial y la Conferencia de Paz de París.

Entre los temas importantes de la época están la rápida industrialización y el creciente poder del Reino Unido, Europa y más tarde, de los Estados Unidos, con Japón surgiendo como gran potencia e imperio al final de este período. Esto llevó a una competición imperialista y colonialista por la influencia y el poder por todo el mundo, cuyo impacto aún es amplio y con consecuencias que llegan a la época actual. El Reino Unido estableció una red económica informal que, combinada con la Royal Navy, hizo de ella la nación más influyente de la época. Hablando en términos generales, no hubo conflictos graves entre las grandes potencias, siendo la mayor parte de las guerras escaramuzas entre beligerantes dentro de las fronteras de países concretos. En Europa, las guerras fueron mucho más pequeñas, más cortas y menos frecuentes que nunca. Este siglo tranquilo se quebró al estallar la Primera guerra mundial (1914-18), que fue inesperada en cuanto a su momento, duración, bajas, e impacto a largo plazo.

Why did the treaty of Versallies fail to win support in America?
adoni [48]

One of the reasons of the failure is because it had failed to prevent the Second World War to occur. The purpose of the treaty itself was to stop another big war to exist again on this earth, yet it had unsuccessfully done so. The war still happened and the destruction of it was even larger and more serious than in WWI and other war in history of humankind due to the fact that the technology is increasing, and thus the weapons using are more powerful than ever, for instance, aircrafts, tanks, machine guns, and especially the use of nuclear bombs in Japan to end the war. Consequently, it resulted in dead of 75 million people including 20 million soldiers and 40 million civilians.


Furthermore, the cause of failure of the treaty was because it was lack of the enforcement mechanism and lack of willingness of the allied powers. Many terms stipulated in the treaty were not implemented. For example, the 14 points of President Woodrow Wilson including “1) no more secret treaties, 2) countries must seek to reduce their weapons and their armed forces, 3) national self-determination should allow people of the same nationality to govern themselves and one nationality should not have the power to govern another , 4) all countries should belong to the League of Nations,” and an intention of France in dividing Germany into smaller states did not occur, and thus it just caused the treaty to become weak; as a result, Germany could take the advantages of it.
