saul85 [17]

Answer:

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

Explanation:

Article IV of the Constitution said new states could be added, but made no provision for taking on foreign territories.

Jefferson was concerned that the treaty powers granted to the President in the Constitution did not allow the executive branch to attain land through treaty.

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.

The initial intent was to only purchase New Orleans, but when the representatives returned they proposed a buy out of the entire Louisiana territory. Napoleon needed money for an impending war with England. The territory was sold to the US for $15.

Question 3
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Modernizing and industrializing

Explanation:

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

The above statement is true because, towards the eventual fall of the Quin Dynasty in 1912, the empire was full of corrupt practices, bad administration, shortage of food, etc., all of which was due to the inability to modernize and industrialize the country by the leaders. This led to civil unrest and a series of protests that ultimately weaken China.

As result of world of war 1 what happened to the foreign colonies held by European powers
nataly862011 [7]

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.
