Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

They hoped the king would believe that the colonies could win a war, is the right answer.

The Second letter sent to  George III, the King of Britain by the Americans, is known as the Olive Branch Petition. It was also known as the  Humble Petition due to the fact that it declared that the colonies will remain loyal to the crown given that the King just accepts to some of the grievances these colonies. However, when King George III commanded blockade to cut off the trade and supplies to the colonies as retribution for revolting against his rule, this Petition became one of the causes for the Revolutionary War.

Rawanda- The United Nations sent a peacekeeping force in order to try to limit the fallout from the civil war and genocide taking place in the country. They were somewhat ineffective, due to few troops on the ground, limited authorization for using force, and the overwhelming amount of violence occurring.

Tienanmen Square- The international community condemned China for its brutal use of force against student protesters in the country. Sanctions were also employed, and China found itself briefly exiled from the diplomatic community. Ultimately, China was too important an economic and security partner for the world to shun. Little has changed in terms of human rights in the country following the incident.   

Citizens like me can read and become informed. We in the United States are able to choose our leaders, an incredible privilege and globally important responsibility, due to our nation's status in the world. Given this fact, we should be the most informed citizens in the world; we are not. A more informed citizenry would elect leaders whose ideas are at least based on intimate knowledge of the issues, regardless of whether or not everyone agrees with those ideas.

Mkey [24]

The term "Braceros" mostly describes "immigrants from Mexico who had contracts to work in America, mostly in agriculture" The term comes from the Spanish<em> "Brazos"  (Arms)  </em>and it makes reference to the fact that Mexicans work mainly with their when involved in agricultural work.

It is necessary to mention that not all <em>"Braceros"</em> have contracts to work, a lot of them just cross the border as <em>" Mojados"  -because they cross the Bravo River  as illegal inmigrants and get wet, therfore the term Mojado (wet).</em>
