Answer:

The siege of the International Legations occurred in 1900 in Peking, the capital of the Qing Empire, during the Boxer Rebellion. Menaced by the Boxers, an anti-Christian, anti-foreign peasant movement, 900 soldiers, sailors, marines, and civilians, largely from Europe, Japan, and the United States, and about 2,800 Chinese Christians took refuge in the Peking Legation Quarter. The Qing government took the side of the Boxers after the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Tianjin at the Battle of the Taku Forts (1900), without a formal declaration of war. The foreigners and Chinese Christians in the Legation Quarter survived a 55-day siege by the Qing Army and Boxers. The siege was broken by an international military force which marched from the coast of China, defeated the Qing army, and occupied Peking (now known as Beijing). The siege was called by the New York Sun "the most exciting episode ever known to civilization."

The Legation Quarter was approximately 2 mi (3.2 km) long and 1 mi (1.6 km) wide. It was located in the area of the city designated by the Qing government for foreign legations. In 1900, there were 11 legations located in the quarter as well as a number of foreign businesses and banks. Ethnic Chinese-occupied houses and businesses were also scattered about the quarter. The 12 or so Christian missionary organizations in Beijing were not located in the Legation Quarter, but rather dispersed around the city. In total, there were about 500 citizens of Western countries and Japan residing in the city. The northern end of the Legation quarter was near the Imperial City where the Empress Dowager Cixi resided. The southern end was bounded by the massive Tartar Wall which ringed the entire city of Beijing.[2] The eastern and western ends were major streets.

Which house of the general assembly must a bill originate in?
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Bills may originate in either house, but may be amended or rejected by the other

Explanation:

Bills may originate in either house, but may be amended or rejected by the other." In general, a bill becomes law after passing both houses of the General Assembly with a majority vote and receiving the Governor's signature of approval. A bill may start out in either the House or the Senate.

A bill is researched in a chamber, given a number, and sent to a committee. ... Then, the bill is brought to the floor of the chamber and put to a vote. If the bill passes, it is sent to the other chamber of the General Assembly, who then sends it to a committee. If that house approves, it is sent to the floor for a vote.

The governor has the power to veto a bill. If the governor vetoes a bill the legislature may override the veto by a three-fifths majority vote in each house. Laws that have passed the legislature and signed by the governor are called public laws or statutes. A bill may be introduced in either the House or the Senate

Consider the noted policy mistakes made by the Federal Reserve during the Depression and explain how each may have contributed t
brilliants [131]

Answer:

The federal reserve system gave only big banks loans/money to give out to their customers as credit, but many people had money in smaller banks, so when people started to fear after the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and take money out of the banks, not everyone was able to, so the banks went under and some people left without their money. This began to cause deflation, causing prices to drop, businesses cut costs which then requires them to let off workers, which begins the whole cycle again.

Was the Mexican revolution successful? <br><br> One paragraph
mestny [16]

Answer: According to many historians, the revolution was a success.

Explanation:

The Mexican Revolution was bloody and long-lived, killing over 100,000 lives. The literature states that a successful revolution requires four steps. The first is the state of relations in the world the second condition is a political crisis that paralyzes the country, and the third condition is a widespread peasant revolt. In contrast, the fourth condition is the existence of a dissident political movement.

The fact is that the revolution in Mexico has had all of the above. The Mexican Revolution resulted in the overthrow of the old aristocratic, landowning elite, which also lost its political power. One of the main results of the revolution was the redistribution of land ownership, the Catholic Church was stripped of its political and economic power, and the state became a significant factor in regulating relations in society.
