Political corruption best describes the gilded age.
<u>The period in which the greatest economic or technological progress that occurred in the United States was between the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century</u>. <u><em>During this period, the country went from being a simple agricultural economy to the first industrial power in the land</em></u>.
<u>It was in the second half of the nineteenth century when the first manufactures were created with imports of skilled foreign labor from England.</u>
<em><u>The answer is</u></em>: <u>A. Britain supplied a market for American manufactured goods</u>.
You didn't list anything, however, here are a few things that the tensions directly led to:
-The Space Race
- NATO was formed
- Warsaw Pact
- Proxy Wars
- Fighting against communism [Korea and Vietnam]
Hope this helps!
As the French pursued their part in the scramble for Africa in the 1880s and 1890s, they conquered large inland areas, and at first, ruled them as either a part of the Senegal colony or as independent entities. These conquered areas were usually governed by French Army officers, and dubbed "military territories".
