Explanation:

Most foreigners from democratic countries have parliamentary forms of government, so there isn't the drama of a "divided" government such as we have most of the time. Historically, it's the way we chose to limit the power of our central government. As such, Washington D.C. is definitely not the center of all American political influence, despite what people who live and work there might think. America is huge geographically; this is the uniform reaction of foreign visitors from most countries – keep in mind that their countries are often much smaller than one of our smaller states, and the very idea that one can drive thousands of miles, all across America, and never encounter a border boggles the mind of most foreign visitors. It's the one thing you hear from most visitors here.

In 150 to 200 words, analyze how the meiji restortation was similar and different from the changes instituted by Otto von Bismar

iren [92.7K]

Both the Meiji Restoration in Japan and the efforts of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck in the German Empire were focused on unifying, strengthening and modernizing the government and economy of their nations.

Bismarck led the way in uniting the many German states and principalities into a single, powerful German Empire, created in 1871. In Japan, prior to the Meiji Restoration, shogun rule (rule by military leaders) held control over part of the country, but feudal warlords maintained much power in their own lands. In 1868, shogun rule was ended and the emperor was restored to full power over the country.

A push for rapid industrialization characterized both Germany and Japan in the latter portion of the 19th century.

A key difference, however, was that the various German states had already begun industrializing before Bismarck came to power in Prussia and led the creation of the united German Empire. Bismarck's government strongly backed and increased industrialization efforts. In Japan, before he period known as the Meiji Restoration, Japan was not focusing on industrialization. Feudal arrangements persisted. But the new emperor took the name "Meiji," meaning "enlightened rule." And under the reign of Emperor Meiji, which lasted till 1912, Japan aggressively pursued modernizing and westernizing it economy and way of life.

Explain why the Germans were not happy with the War guilt clause of the Treaty of Versailles.

natima [27]

The Germans were also furious about the various terms of the Treaty. They hated clause 231 – the ‘War Guilt’ clause – which stated that Germany had caused ‘all the loss and damage’ of the war. Firstly, the Germans did not think that they had caused the war (for the Germans, the war was a war of self-defence against Russia, which had mobilised 31 July 1914). During the 1920s, the Germans published all their secret documents from 1914, to prove they had tried to stop the war. Secondly, the Germans hated clause 231 because accepting it gave the Allies the moral right to punish Germany – it validated all the harsh terms of the Treaty.

Hope this helps:)
