Answer:

follow

Explanation:

Britain sent a peace mission to Bhutan in early 1864, in the wake of the recent conclusion of a civil war there, under Ashley Eden.[1] The dzongpon of Punakha – who had emerged victorious – had broken with the central government and set up a rival Druk Desi while the legitimate druk desi sought the protection of the penlop of Paro and was later deposed. The British mission dealt alternately with the rival penlop of Paro and the penlop of Trongsa (the latter acted on behalf of the druk desi), but Bhutan rejected the peace and friendship treaty it offered partially because of the previous unilateral British annexation of some Assam duars. Britain declared war in November 1864. Bhutan had no regular army, and what forces existed were composed of dzong guards armed with matchlocks, bows and arrows, swords, knives, and catapults. Some of these dzong guards, carrying shields and wearing chainmail armor, engaged the well-equipped British forces.

Storming of Dewangiri fort.

The fort, known at the time as Dewangiri, at Deothang was dismantled by the British during 1865. The British initially suffered a humiliating defeat at Deothang and when they recaptured Dewangiri they destroyed much in an attempt to compensate.

The Duar War lasted only five months and, despite some battlefield victories by Bhutanese forces which included the capture of two howitzer guns, resulted in the loss of 20% of Bhutan's territory, and forced cession of formerly occupied territories.[2] Under the terms of the Treaty of Sinchula, signed 11 November 1865, Bhutan ceded territories in the Assam Duars and Bengal Duars, as well as the 83 km² of territory of Dewangiri in southeastern Bhutan, in return for an annual subsidy of 50,000 rupees. The Treaty of Sinchula stood until 1910, when Bhutan and British India signed the Treaty of Punakha, effective until 1947.

Why powers are given to the president through the checks and balances system ?
borishaifa [10]
Due to the colonist and such leaving from a tyrant ruled nation. They wanted to make sure the same wouldn't happen over here, therefor they gave the President power. However it would go through some people and such. For example President Trump signed a bill, the travel ban. Yet in around 1 to 2 days, the Judicial Branch found it unconstitutional. Therefor it was overturned and disbanded.

Trava [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Industrialization transformed American life in the late 19th century as nothing had before. This industrial change transformed the life of the American people. Technology changed farming and many farmers decided to move from the rural areas of the United States to the larger cities where the large factories where located. Those new fabrics were offering many jobs to operate the new machines. Although those were low paid jobs, they represented a relief to the difficult conditions on many Americans.

Important businessmen such as Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller created huge companies in the steel industry and oil industry, respectively. Although they invested a lot of money to create successful companies, during the Gilded Age those companies were accused of monopolistic practices.
