Answer:
D. The natural barrier of the Himalayas prevented the religion’s spread.
Explanation:
Water and mountains surrounded ancient India. This geographic isolation protected the people who settled in this region. It was extremely difficult for outside invaders to reach the subcontinent without making dangerous journeys over the mountains or across the ocean. Natural barriers, such as mountains, deserts, rivers, and seas, made travel to and from China challenging. The Himalayas in the west and the Gobi in the north were two important geographic barriers. They made the spread of ideas and goods between the ancient Chinese and others outside the region difficult.
So the correct answer would be:
D. The natural barrier of the Himalayas prevented the religion’s spread.
The principle of free consent. It stated that no formal church decisions were to be made without the consent of the laity.
Political leaders were accountable to the people, and there should be limits to prevent the abuse of authority.
The earliest Congregational churches were subject to no man, but rather to the Scriptures and God.
Popular sovereignty<span> or the </span>sovereignty<span> of the people is the principle that the authority of a state and its </span>government<span> is created and sustained by the consent of its people, through their elected representatives (Rule by the People), who are the source of all political power.</span>
To me, the main impact of this war was that it acted as a wedge to open China up. As China was forced to open up more and more to the West (and eventually Japan) it lost its sovereignty and its whole society was undermined.
The actual immediate impacts of the war were not that great. Some opium came into China. Some ports were opened up and some missionaries were allowed in. But in the long run, this was just the start. From there, the British and other countries started to demand more and more access until they practically destroyed the soveriegn power of the Chinese government.
Big Stick Diplomacy refers to President Theodore Roosevelt's foreign policy.
<em>'Speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far' </em>- it was a combination of intelligence and decisive action while dealing with foreign issues. It meant having strength when things go wrong but trying to negotiating peacefully.
This foreign policy was applied during U.S. intervention in Latin America, for example in the Venezuelan Affair in 1902.
It was also used during the 'Canal Diplomacy' while dealing with incidents from Nicaragua and Panama.
Another example is Roosevelt's involvement in the Russian-Japanese War Peace Treaty in September 1905. He negotiated the treaty between these two nations<em> 'speaking softly'</em>, which brought him a Nobel Piece Prize the following year.
