Many great European powers had been exploiting China's weak economic system to enforce their own trade regulations for years. The United States simply wanted to join the fray, so the Open Door notes were sent to the European powers basically stating, "Hey, you guys can't own all of China, make sure that all countries get to trade equally with them."
Just as a side note, the Open Door policy with China was extremely hypocritical for the United States, as the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 basically stated that none of the European powers could interfere with the Western Hemisphere... While no one was allowed to touch the Americas, the United States was apparently allowed to mess with the rest of the world.
Hello there, I am Steel42 and I am willing to help :)
The First crusades was led by many French Lords, but one that we are familiar with is, <span>Godfrey of Bouillon, a </span> Frankish knight, and one of the leaders of the First Crusade from 1096 until his death. They were also led by many dukes, some that is not named in history.
Hope this helps : )
They used new military tactic and weapons that were never used or tested before
