Answer 2

Answer:

D. Destroying food supplies so that they would not fall into the hands of enemy troops

Explanation:

The Colonial Experience in World War II

World War II had tragic consequences not only for the European states but also for their colonies. The war destroyed existing trade networks and disrupted regular commercial activities. These disruptions caused widespread famine in colonized countries. For example, the Japanese took rice for their military from colonial Vietnam, and consequently, as many as two million people died of starvation. One of the worst famines occurred in the Bengal Province of India, where the Japanese were fighting the British. To slow down the Japanese, the British used a scorched earth strategy, meaning that the British deliberately burned Bengali villagers' food supplies so that the enemy troops could not use them. That strategy, combined with a particularly destructive cyclone that swept through the region in 1942, was responsible for the deaths of more than three million people. Colonized people trapped in the middle between empires at war found themselves in similar conditions throughout World War II.

Describe how the U.S. government hoped to address the problem of lack of taxation & land expansion after the revolution? (in at least 3 sentences)​

Answers

The American Revolution was precipitated, in part, by a series of laws passed between 1763 and 1775 that regulating trade and taxes. This legislation caused tensions between colonists and imperial officials, who made it clear that the British Parliament would not address American complaints that the new laws were onerous. British unwillingness to respond to American demands for change allowed colonists to argue that they were part of an increasingly corrupt and autocratic empire in which their traditional liberties were threatened. This position eventually served as the basis for the colonial Declaration of Independence.

Why did the Haitians owe France compensations after the Haitian revolution?

Answers

Answer:

The debt dates back to when Haiti, then St Dominique, was France's most profitable colony thanks to slavery. In 1791 the slaves revolted, and in 1804, after defeating Napoleon's forces, they founded the world's first independent black republic. But after independence, French slave owners demanded compensation

Explanation:

here are my notes:

Haitian Revolution

Haity: below Cuba

They owed France compensations after the Haitian revolution because they had went to war with them and killed the slave owners. Also, they took they took the land away.

In France, after the French revolution, what inspiHalf of Haity had been controlled by France, and the other half by Spain.

The portion of people who had been enslaved had declared freedom.

red the French? The United States. France goes and does the same things, and then creates The French Rights. Then, Haity thinks the same as what America.

80 % of people were slaves in Haity

The original people who lived in Haity died out because of Europien diseises.

Distribution of Hatian Society (Similar to the 3 Esates in France)

Grand Blancs (Big Whites) People who were wealthy

Free people of color (People of mixed race) These people could own land even though they are black.

Petit Blancs (Little whites) People who weren't so wealthy who came from France or other places. These people were the most raciest. These small whites wanted themselfs to be higher ranking.

Slaves

Slaves were banned from having a profesion.

Maroons- runaway slaves

Haidy was the first nation to declare its freedom with people of African backgrounds controling it.

The slaves' plan to declare freedom was:

           get the slave owner's slash          

           hit the slave owner with the slash and then burn the plantation

Which of the following was NOT an impact of the Great Famine?

A. pushed westward settlement in the United States
B. spurred Irish emigration to the United States
C. increased death and starvation in Ireland
D. contributed to Anglo-Irish tensions
E. led to a female Irish work force for US textile mills

Answers

B is the answer !!!!

Answer:

I believe it may be A

Explanation:

For this, I can tell you that the answers are NOT B, C, or E.

It is not B, because when the potato famine hit, that was one of the places that the Irish ran to. The US, Canada, and Great Britain.

It is not C, because for the small Irish farmers, their main food crop was potatoes. Without their main source of food, people starved. Starvation leads to death. About 750,000 died and about 2 million emigrated.

And, it is not E because that was one of the jobs the Irish females took over once they came to America. Matter of fact, this was one of the few jobs that women could take along with being servants and taking in laundry.

With the Irish coming to America, there would be tensions between the Americans and Irish. To some, the Irish were seen as taking over jobs from free blacks or from the poor. Also, the Irish weren't really let in for normal jobs because people would put up NINA signs (No Irish Need Apply). So this is why I would think it is not D.

The main expansion happened during 1848 and 1849 when the California Gold Rush came around. The Famine happened in 1845. The first ww expansion started in 1803 and the Oregon settlement was around the early 1830s and 1840s.

I hope this will help.

Which of these Acts forced American colonists to allow British troops to stay in their homes? the Declaratory Act the Stamp Act the Sugar Act the Quartering Act

Answers

Answer:

On March 24, 1765, Parliament passes the Quartering Act, outlining the locations and conditions in which British soldiers are to find room and board in the American colonies. The Quartering Act of 1765 required the colonies to house British soldiers in barracks provided by the colonies.

Explanation:

Quartering Act is the Acts forced American colonists to allow British troops to stay in their homes. Hence, option D is correct.

What is Quartering Act?

On March 24, 1765, Parliament passes the Quartering Act, which outlines where and how British soldiers are to get accommodation and food in the American colonies. The Quartering Act of 1765 required the colonies to keep British soldiers in the barracks they provided.

However, it did make the colonial legislatures responsible for funding and building barracks or other accommodations to accommodate British regulars. The 1765 statute expressly forbade British soldiers from being quartered in private residences.

The Quartering Act mandated that the American colonies supply British troops stationed in their towns or villages with food, drink, shelter, fuel, and transportation. It was adopted by the British Parliament in 1765, soon after the Stamp Act.

Thus, option D is correct.

1. In Canada, there have been calls to stop fishing some kinds of fish entirely. Why is this important to long term diversity below water?


2. What would you do if you had to choose between feeding people in your community or preserving the rainforest for a healthier planet?

Answers

Answer:

Below water diversity is important, for preserving food chain & availability of clean water.

I will try finding a midway between feeding people & preserving rainforest, as both are important

Explanation:

Preserving some fish species, mantaining long term diversity below water is important as : Aqua ecosystems are as interdependent & interlinked, so to protect them from losing their food chain balance.  It is also needed to support access & availability of clean drinking water.

I will chose a way to strike a balance between both 'feeding people & preserving rainforest'. As food is needed for human beings present survival, forests are needed for entire ecosystem (including humans) future survival.  Humans can't sustain without food or forests, forest preservation has no utility if there are no humans.
