Describe Belgian rule in the Congo.

History
1 answer:
Nimfa-mama [501]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The extraction of rubber from Central Africa by Belgium stole any wealth that could have been generated in the Congo for the Congolese population. Colonial rule during 1885-1908 stunted Congolese economic development, destroyed social trust, and prevented the creation of political institutions.Belgium was the obvious European candidate to run the Congo. For two years, it debated the question and held new elections on the issue. Yielding to international pressure, the parliament of Belgium annexed the Congo Free State and took over its administration on November 15, 1908, as the colony of the Belgian Congo.

Answer:

The right choice is:

C-Sinking of the uss maine, delome letter, desire for raw materials.

Explanation:

The American "yellow press" had been building public opinion support for an intervention by publishing shocking and alarming stories about the abuses and cruel treatment of the Cuban population by the Spanish authorities (which were true, an independence war was being fought in 1898 on the island). Worried about important American investments, the government sent the USS Maine to Havanna to protect them and US citizens. In a very dark incident, it blew off in the Havanna harbor.

US businesses had gone global. There was already an industrialized economy that demanded more raw materials and new markets for expansion.

All of these are reasons for the US getting involvement in the Spanish-American War.

Colonization and causes of the revolutionary war
Alchen [17]
Causes of the Revolutionary War

The American people were strongly independent. They wanted to do things for themselves. Great Britain was a long way away. The American people didn't want people an ocean away telling them how to live their lives.
The British government decided to make the American colonies pay a large share of the war debt from the French and Indian War.
Through the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and other taxes, the British tried to collect taxes that the American people considered harsh.
The American people also thought that they should be able to send their own people to Britain's Parliament or at least vote for Britain's lawmakers.
The combination of the harsh taxes and the lack of an American voice in Parliament gave rise to the famous phrase "taxation without representation."
Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, and others called for an independent America, colonies free from British rule and interference.
Americans started stockpiling guns and ammunition in violation of British laws. Their defense of such a stockpile led to the shots fired at Lexington and Concord and the beginning of the Revolutionary War.
