Answer:
Western Countries.
Explanation:
Almost all Western Hemisphere countries were into the sphere of influence in China, but primarily the United Kingdom (which continued to have Hong Kong till the 1900s), the United States, France, Germany, and many others. The Opium War started when the Chinese Emperor believed that the lucrative business that the Europeans and Americans were running, or the opium drug, was detrimental to his people. In a effort to stabilize the general public health, he led a war that ended with the defeat and a even greater influence of foreign countries in China.
<span>By merging many of the independent colonies situated in New England into one large colony King James I was able to more tightly control what the colonists were doing. Largely he wished to more easily encourage the colonists to abide by the Navigation Acts, legislation that essentially prohibited the colonists from trading with any non-British entity. Additionally, it allowed him to more easily increase the revenues provided to Britain by the colonists.</span>
The answer is d) against self-incrimination
The Maine is known for its catastrophic loss in the Port of Havana on the morning of February 15, 1898. It was sent to protect the interests of American citizens during the Cuban revolts against Spain. It exploded suddenly, without warning, losing the life in the explosion three quarters of its crew. The causes of the explosion were not clear in a commission of inquiry, but the American public, fueled by the incendiary proclamations of the US tabloid press made by William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, blamed Spain.
It has been 120 years since the sinking of the Maine and still many wonder what really happened. The hypotheses remain the same: a mine placed by Cuban patriots who wanted to provoke an American intervention; agents of the Spanish government who tried to teach a lesson to the newborn northern imperialism; an accident caused by the use of highly volatile bituminous coal in boilers too close to the ammunition store; and that the United States itself caused the explosion to have a pretext that would allow them to invade the island militarily.
Which of these hypotheses approaches the truth? Will we know someday? Probably not. Maybe it does not even matter. In the Cemetery of Arlington they rest, under the recovered main mast of the ship, the victims of that unfortunate event. In Havana, facing the sea that guards the burned remains of the Maine, a soulless monument awaits for its just and definitive consecration.
