One of China's notable achievements is A. a complex system o writing.
Its ancient form was originated from the practice of divination, finding the first inscriptions on pieces of bones and tortoiseshell. One of the facts that makes it notable is that, until relatively recently, Chinese writing was used more widely than alphabetic writing systems.

The correct answer is B. The outcome of the Chinese Civil War led to the implementation of the Great Leap Forward.
The Great Leap Forward was a campaign of economic, social and political measures implemented in the People's Republic of China between 1958 and 1961, during the presidency of Mao Zedong, with the aim of transforming the traditional Chinese agrarian economy through rapid industrialization and collectivization .
The main changes of the rural regime included the creation of popular communes, the prohibition of private agriculture, the promotion of labor-intensive projects and the policy called "walking with two legs", which combined small and medium-sized industrial initiatives, with the great undertakings, thus moving away from the Soviet model.
The Great Leap Forward was a failure, caused largely by political mistakes led by Mao Zedong, which caused the death by starvation of large numbers of peasants, estimated between 15 million and 45 million.
After World War I the Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles which was mainly based on the idea that the Treaty would require the United States to join the League of Nations and may have resulted to a loss of the United States sovereignty. The treaty would also force the United States to get involved in issues that were of less relevance to the U.S. The League of Nations was created as a body to prevent future conflicts by establishing a body to settle disputes between nations and authorize action against the Nation that did not comply. Some Senate members wanted to change the Versailles Treaty, i.e., Henry Cabot Lodge but president Wilson dismissed and disliked his suggestions.
John C. Calhoun supported the concept of nullification before the beginning of the Civil War. Nullification is the idea that US states have the right to ignore (invalidate) any law that they deem unconstitutional. This means that if a state thinks that a new law goes against a current constitutional amendment, they have the right to not follow it. The nullification crisis causes severe tension in Congress for decades leading up to the Civil War.
