8 0

Answer:

"Robber baron" is a derogatory term of social criticism originally applied to certain wealthy and powerful 19th-century American businessmen. The term appeared as early as the August 1870 issue of The Atlantic Monthly magazine. By the late 1800s, the term was typically applied to businessmen who used exploitative practices to amass their wealth. These practices included exerting control over natural resources, influencing high levels of government, paying subsistence wages, squashing competition by acquiring their competitors to create monopolies and raise prices, and schemes to sell stock at inflated prices to unsuspecting investors. The term combines the sense of criminal and illegitimate aristocracy.

Explain the long-term historical factors that moved america toward independence from britain.
barxatty [35]
There were several factors that moved America towards independence from Britain. They are as followed:

1) The development of an American culture- Even though the colonists were still part of Great Britain during the 18th century, many of these individuals were natives of the colonies and had never even been to Great Britain before. This is a huge transformation from when settlers came here originally to find freedom from religious persecution during the early 16th and17th centuries.

2) Colonists being forced to into wars they did not want to fight in- The British army was constantly fighting with other European powers like France in North America. This resulted in colonists being part of wars they did not want to be in (like the French and Indian War).

Over the course of the three centuries after the fall of the Han and before the rise of the Sui Dynasty, Group of answer choices
vivado [14]

Answer:

Buddhism developed a much wider following among the Chinese people.

Explanation:

The Han Dynasty fell in 220 CE and the Sui Dynasty emerged around 581 CE. These two dynasties may be successive but there is a huge gap of three decades in between the two.

For the three decades that remained 'silent' after the fall of the Han and the rise of the Sui Dynasty, the Buddhist religion would develop a much wider following among the Chinese people. This would begin the spread of Buddhism in the nation.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
