C. nations compete to build the most weapons.
Although polarization drives some improvements towards democratization and political scientists show that politicians support polarization, divisions have become more one-sided.

The 3rd Estate made the Cahiers de Doleances or better known as the Cahiers. (There is an accent on the e in Doleances) This was a list of grievance made by the 3rd Estate that asked: that the three estates should only follow the laws and be taxed with everyone approval, the estates general should meet on set times, when the three estates vote, it is by every person not by estate, the 3rd Estate doesn't want to be the only of the three estates to be taxed, freedom of speech and freedom of press. Those are a couple of the requests from the 3rd Estate.

As he surveyed East Asian affairs in the first months of 1899, Secretary of State John Hay saw few reasons for optimism. America's main rivals for influence in that part of the world—Russia,Japan, Germany, France, and Great Britain—bristled with imperial ambition as China, weakened by war and rebellion, steadily lost its capacity to resist them. The great powers laid claim to special privileges in various parts of the country, a process that recalled the subjugation of Africa and suggested that China might be similarly partitioned. What worried Hay most was the prospect that the United States would be shut out of this new scramble as the Europeans and Japanese, with strong footholds in the area and a far greater taste for territorial conquest, divided up China and protected their new possessions with impenetrable barriers to American trade. Like many of his contemporaries, Hay imagined China as a vital and nearly limitless market for the burgeoning output of America's rapidly industrializing economy. By 1899 the United States had made little progress toward realizing that dream, but the vision beckoned powerfully. Preserving access to the China market ranked high on the McKinley administration's foreign policy agenda even as the prospects seemed to dim.
