Socrates in prison from The Greeks documentary

After Socrates had been found guilty of impiety and corrupting the morals of the city's youth, he was next invited to propose a suitable punishment.

This was a legal tradition in Athens and an opportunity for him to show remorse, and hopefully lessen his sentence. But asked what sort of punishment he thought he should receive, he responded with an answer that was nothing short of a death wish.

He argued that he should receive the highest honors of the city and be granted free meals at the public's expense, an honor reserved for Olympian athletes.

The outraged jury voted for his death by even greater majority than had found him guilty of his alleged crimes.

Led away to the city's prison house, his trial and last days became the subject of Plato's 'Crito & Phaedo'. Visited by many people, he faced the prospect of death with characteristic unconcern, and even refused to be rescued and smuggled abroad by a group of friends.

Fear of the rise of foreign influence on Japanese culture and politics resulted in all of the following except...
ivanzaharov [21]

The closure of all but one Japanese port.

Explanation:

Japan was not like the other nations of East Asia when it came to contact with the Europeans, or their own internal affairs. Seeing that the European imperial powers are closing in and managing to occupy the nations in their surroundings, the Japanese were not willing to allow the same to happen to them. The country was unified, had very strong nationalistic core, and quickly started to cut down and move away the Europeans. The Christians were persecuted, while the European ships and merchants were expelled and not allowed to come to Japan.

  • Japan continued with its measures, and it started to rapidly industrialize.
  • The industrialization of the country resulting in more finances, large amount of which went for modernization and enlarging the army.
  • Japan became a very powerful country and let everyone know that it is not a good idea to try and engage into a conflict with it.
  • Instead of being occupied as the surrounding nations, Japan became an imperial power, gradually starting to conquer territories in East and Southeast Asia.
