I believe the answer is B and D
A. European imperialist powers gained further control of trade with China.
Answer: B. acquired empires by means of military conquest
Explanation:
Inca and Aztec societies were similar in that both acquired empires by means of military conquest.
Inca civilization existed around about 1400 and 1533 CE in Peru. It should also be known that at that particular period, it was the biggest empire in the world.
Aztec Empire existed around 1345 to 1521 CE around northern Mesoamerica. The warriors of Aztec fought other neighbouring states and instilled their religions and ideas across Mexico.
Several totalitarian states developed after World War I. One of the most famous ones is Hitler's Nazi Germany. Hitler was able to gain power for several reasons. The first reason is Germany's poor economy. Thanks to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was forced to pay reparations (aka money) for the cost of World War I to countries like Britain and France. These reparation payments caused the German economy to decline rapidly.
Another reason why Hitler was able to gain power was because of the German citizens anger with their leaders during the 1920's and early 1930's. Many German citizens felt that the government was cowardly for accepting all of the terms and conditions of the Treaty of Versailles.
These events helped lead to Hitler's rise in power. Once in power, Hitler used several different methods to maintain power. One of the most popular methods was using his secret police to threaten/kill anyone who opposed his policies. This method scared many individuals from speaking out. Along with that, he made promises to the German people to restore the country to its former glory.
Genghis Khan was ruthless and gruesome. His strategy was to scare people into submission. When they were scared, they would surrender easily and it would save Khan's army much money, time and resources. however, in order to do so, Genghis would ruthlessly slaughter men, women, and children to prove his point.
