Your answer is India and China.

<u>Problems faced in India(water and air pollution)</u>

<em>A diverse range of pollution sources co-exists in urban environments. Conventional sources of air pollution include vehicular emissions, coal-based power plants, fossil fuel consumption in industries and some agricultural activities such as fertilizer application and farm fires. Air pollutants can be natural or may be the result of various anthropogenic activities. Examples include production of brick kilns that use raw wood, agricultural waste or poor quality coal used as a fuel, the roadside burning of organic and plastic waste, cooking that involves the burning of solid biomass or cow dung and the unintentional burning of municipal solid waste at landfills, and construction activities (Kumar et al, 2015) (Figure 3). The local emission inventories point to about 5300 and 7550 tons yr−1 of PM10 and PM2.5 release from waste burning in Delhi, respectively, while the corresponding emissions from construction are 3250 and 10,750 tons yr−1 (Guttikunda and Goel, 2013). Other such sources include diesel generators for temporary power generation in cities, traffic congestion, and </em>

<u>Problems faced in China(water and air pollution)</u>

For over a decade in China, China has been the world’s largest annual emitter of greenhouse gases. Regardless of some pro-ecological alternatives and investments in alternative energy sources, the country’s emissions keep growing, contrary to the worldwide trends.

That seems to be the most worrying part. The other main global polluters, for instance, the US, have been successfully pursuing the reduction of greenhouse gas and particulate matter emissions. That’s not the case with China, which continues to fulfill its growing demand for energy with fossil fuels.

Why did people migrate into the forest region and how was life there different from the rest of West Africa?
Arlecino [84]
<span>I think the fact that there was no single ruler in the stateless societies allowed them to endure for many centuries. No family had too much power than the others. The way they resolved their problems also helped them survive for a long time since it allowed them to peacefully talk about the issue without violence. They also had a very organized way to decide to who to pass down the possessions and property too. People were also separated into age-sets where they would pass stages of life with other people in the same generation.</span>

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Correct answers are:

A. Dictatorship of the Roman emperors

B. Inefficiency of the Roman soldiers

Analyze the imperial motives of the United States in the 1800s to the early 20th Century.
ladessa [460]

Answer:

After reading about the United States and their imperial motives in the 1800s to the early 20th century, I believe that most of their actions were unjustified. Americans justified the imperialistic behavior by basically claiming it was their responsibility to intervene with other nation's affairs as a superior nation. However I think it isn't justifiable to intervene with other nation's affairs just because you may be a superior nation. The United States government never lost sight of their goal to earn money and establish an empire.

An example of American actions being unjustified would be in the late 1800s when Cuba began rebelling several times against the Spanish but were overpowered each time, atrocities against the Cuban citizens horrified many Americans. Then in 1898 the Maine accidentally blew up killing 260 men, the Americans falsely accused the Spanish of blowing up the Maine as an excuse to go to war with them. As a result 400 American lives were lost as well as another 2,000 from diseases such as yellow fever and malaria.

Another example of American actions being unjustified would also be in the late 1800s when the United States launched a surprise attack on the Spanish fleet in Manila bay Philippines destroying most of their ships then seizing the island of Luzon. The Filipinos began a fight for independence in 1899 leaving 4,000 Americans dead and 200,000 Filipinos dead. These are just some of my reasons that support why American Imperialism was unjustified.

Hope this helps, god bless you~
