Why did Egypt sell their “shares' ( partial ownership) of the Suez Canal to England?

History
1 answer:
olga_2 [115]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:First, Britain took partial control of the canal in 1875.  This happened because the ruler of Egypt was in serious financial difficulties.  He owned a large bloc of shares in the canal and sold them off to take care of his debt.  This gave the British partial control of the canal, but they still did not have complete control of it because the majority of the shares were owned by the French.

Second, in 1882, Britain essentially took control of Egypt as a whole.  This time, they came at the request of the ruler of Egypt (the son of the ruler who sold the shares).  The ruler of Egypt was faced with rebellions from within the country.  He asked the British to come in and give him military help in resisting the rebellions.  Once there, the British stayed and essentially occupied Egypt.  This gave them control over the canal.

Which graph represents the function r(x) = |x – 2| – 1
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

On a coordinate plane, an absolute value graph has a vertex at (2, -1).

Explanation:

Let g(x) = |x|, g(x) is a parent absolute value, whose vertex is located at x=0. Then, r(x) is g(x) translated horizontally two units in the +x direction and vertically one unit in the -y direction. Hence, the vertex is located at (2, -1).

Lastly, we include a graph for r(x) below.

How did japan’s 1889 constitution make the country similar to western nations?
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

El Artículo 9 de la Constitución de Japón es una cláusula en la Constitución japonesa que prohíbe actos bélicos por parte del estado. La Constitución se aprobó el 3 de mayo de 1947, inmediatamente después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En su texto, el estado renuncia formalmente a la guerra como derecho soberano y prohíbe la resolución de disputas internacionales a través del uso de la fuerza. El artículo también señala que, para cumplir estos objetivos, no se mantendrán fuerzas armadas con potencial bélico, aunque Japón mantiene fuerzas armadas de facto, conocidas como las Fuerzas de Autodefensa de Japón (自衛隊 Jieitai?) (JSDF por sus siglas en inglés).
