Answer:
Jefferson completed the Louisiana purchase even though he feared it was unconstitutional.

Jefferson argued that a constitutional amendment was needed. ...
This purchase was needed because the President feared that if the America did purchase New Orleans from France it would eventually lead to war.

Modernizing and industrializing
Explanation:
The Qing Dynasty helped China become weaker than the British by not "Modernizing and industrialized."

This led to civil unrest and a series of protests that ultimately weaken China.
Answer: The mandate system authorized a member nation of the League of Nations to govern a former German or Turkish colonial area after the conclusion of World War I.
Context/detail:
When World War I erupted, the Ottoman Empire sided with Germany as part of the "Central Powers." In the end, the Central Powers lost and the Turkish empire of the Ottomans ceased to exist as an empire. Turkey remained as a country, but it lost control over other territories that it had held before. Germany was stripped of its overseas colonial holdings.
The League of Nations created a system for governing former German and Ottoman territories, called "the mandate system." There were mandate territories for former German territories in Africa and Asia, as well for former Ottoman territories in the Middle East.
The former Turkish provinces of Syria, Iraq and Palestine in the Middle East were divided into a French mandate territory and British mandate territory. The British mandate rule over Palestine has much to do with the history of the development of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
