Answer:

The author's purpose in writing this article is to elucidate the tragic and vicious manner in which Japan committed a genocide on the Chinese nation. The author wrote, " But what was exorbitant -and terrifying- about the Second Sino Japanese war were the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese military which reached depths of depravity unmatched in modern warfare." This shows that the crimes committed by the Japanese were heinous and the author detailed most of them.

Explanation:

This CommonLit article by Mike Kubic provides an insight into the atrocities committed by the Japanese nation on China from the late 1800's to 1945. These atrocities show the ease with which young minds can be easily influenced to hate a whole people and inflict harm on them. The author of the article vividly described the manner in which these crimes were committed.

Japanese attack was spurred by just hatred of the Chinese nation and a greed for the resources of other nations to motivate their own agenda. They were only stopped after the attack of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Hello. This question does not contain the source to which it refers. However, it is possible to find the same question and the source with a quick internet search.

Answer:

D. The introduction of the slave trade to the Atlantic World.

Explanation:

Source 1 presents the beginning of the African slave trade, also known as the transatlantic trade, which allowed that during 1450 to 1750 a large number of African slaves were bought at very low prices and transported to different parts of the world, mainly to the American continent, to be part of the workforce of the farms in European colonies spread across the continent. Most of these slaves came from West Africa and were sold by other Africans, but it was common for Europeans to sail to Africa and capture slaves with their own hands to be sold on the American continent, which was more profitable for the sellers.
