Answer:
The African states' government betrayed their people. In order to thrive knowing that they could lose land if the British strike them, they gave their people away in return for guns and weaponry. Some states fought back and most lost. Others complied with the British orders and gave them slaves.
In the 1970s, the supply of gas was affected by price controls imposed by the Nixon administration and then by an oil embargo by Arab members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
As a political move aimed at pleasing voters, President Richard Nixon announced in 1971 (prior to his reelection campaign of 1972), "I am today ordering a freeze on all prices and wages throughout the United States.” The wage and price controls the Nixon administration sought to put in place interfered with natural market forces and oil supplies were reduced. That problem was magnified in 1973 when oil exporting countries in the Arab world imposed an embargo on supplies to the United States due to US support of Israel in a war that Israel was fighting against a coalition of Arab states.
Both factors -- lingering efforts at price controls and continued control of the oil and gas market by OPEC nations -- played into the long lines at gas pumps seen in America in the 1970s.
Answer: The press served as one of the main tools in spreading nationalism.
Explanation:
During the American Revolution, propaganda placed through the press had a great influence on the spread of nationalism. In Europe, it was a powerful tool for emphasizing people's language as an element of nationalism. The print media replaced the weakening of the church as an institution in the New Age. They were in the hands of secular rulers who emphasized nationalist aspirations through the press. In this way, the collective national consciousness of the people was created. The press is an extremely powerful weapon in spreading nationalist aspirations. The print media technology did not invent nationalism, it is a product of state policies, but it significantly influenced the spread of these ideas.
The American War of Independence is tied to nationalism and the press. Namely, when the English wanted to increase taxes, the press all over America wrote about it. Thanks to the press, the news spread to North America with incredible speed, which led to a revolt among the people. In those years, the press spread negative news about colonial rule and emphasized creating national unity among Americans. Then various movements appeared, such as the Sons of Liberty, which spread national ideas in America through the press, and phenomena like these worried the colonial authorities. The media is still a very strong element in the spread of nationalism.
