Answer:
The Boston Tea Party.
Explanation:
On December 16, 1773 , 342 chests of tea beloging to the British East India Company were thrown by a group of colonists to the sea in Boston, Massachusetts. It was a protest against heavy taxation and harsh treatment by British authorities. "Taxation without representation" was the slogan of a growing number of dissatisfied Americans who resented taxes dictated by the Crown without having the benefit of political representation in Parliament. The incident is called the Boston Tea Party.
Different tools for different jobs used differently by different people.
Remember, from a population base of about the same size (two million) the Mongols deployed far more archers much farther from home. There were twice as many Mongol archers (30,000) at Mohi alone (thousands of miles from home) than there were English archers at Crecy, Poitiers, and Agincourt (right next door) combined (15,000).
The English would not have done any better, nor worse, with the Mongol recurve bow. The Mongols would have done worse with the longbow. That’s due to how they fought with them, not how good or bad the bows were.
Draw weights were comparable. English longbows ranged from 80–120lbs at the beginning of the Hundred Years War (which the English lost BTW) to 100–140lbs by the end. By the 16th century most of the bows found on the the ship Mary Rose were in the 140–160lbs range, with the heaviest at about 185lbs.

Philo T. Farnsworth, Vladimir Zworykin, Charles Jenkins and John Baird all attributed greatly to the invention of the modern television each supplying their own piece of the puzzle.
Seventy-five years ago, the television was introduced with skepticism and awe. No one truly believed it would change the way we view the world. Now, people are more attached to their televisions than ever including programming on computers and cell phones; and manufactures, broadcasters and producers are continually finding new ways to bring big entertainment to the small screen.
Answer: B) The Organic Theory
Details:
The Organic Theory of geography -- or maybe more accurately, of geopolitics -- was proposed by German geographer Friedrich Ratzel in 1897. He suggested that nations function similarly to living organisms. The controversial part of his theory was that the way a living organism takes in nourishment to grow and thrive, strong nations naturally will nourish and expand themselves, taking in weaker nations or cultures around them. Ratzel coined the term "Lebensraum" (German for "living space"), which originally, in his view, meant the space for a strong nationalist culture to grow. His writings came only a few decades after the German Empire had been reborn as the "Second Reich" (second kingdom), a renewal of the older "Holy Roman Empire" of German states as they were linked together in the medieval era. Ratzel's ideas about "Lebensraum" later were picked up by Hitler and the Nazis as a justification for expanding German territory and taking over neighboring countries. Germany's expansion under the Nazis as the "Third Reich" led to World War II in Europe.
