While colonialism could often hinder the economic and political development, King Leopold II's administration of Congo was an exception to that pattern. Is this true or false

Answers

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Leopoldo II's colonialism began with humanitarian actions in Congo. This made it appear that this colonism would be different from the others and would help the region to grow. However, these actions were a front for an intense exploration, accompanied by a series of abuses to start.

This is because, right at the beginning of King Leopoldo II's colonialism, he started a series of forced labor, where the people of Congo were forced to extract as much ivory and rubber as possible. In addition, those who refused to work for the crown were severely punished, often with severed hands. The population was also affected by countless diseases and the crown did nothing to treat them.

How did Leonid Brezhnev demonstrate his use of the Brezhnev Doctrine?
O by signing the SALT treaties
O by abandoning the space race
O by curbing military spending
O by sending Soviet troops to Afghanistan

Answers

Answer:

Correct answer is by sending Soviet troops to Afghanistan.

Explanation:

Brezhnev doctrine was focused on the reaction of Soviet troops in the areas where the Socialism was endangered.

That is why the last option is correct as Soviets reacted with military assistance in Afghanistan.

All other options are not correct as they are showing the readiness of Soviet Union to lower the tension in certain period of crisis.

HELPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!How would the change in iron’s value affect its supply? Higher prices would encourage producers to increase supply. Lower prices would decrease demand. The price would increase and the demand would decrease. The price would decrease and the supply would increase.

Answers

Answer:

The price would decrease and the supply would increase.

Explanation:

Higher prices would encourage producers to increase supply.

Lower prices would decrease demand.

I automatically crossed these out. It doesn't seem like this would be likely.

The price would increase and the demand would decrease.

The price would decrease and the supply would increase.

If the price would increase I don't think that the demand would decrease because if you build something that needs iron you need it so you will buy it weather the cost of iron.

The price would decrease and the supply would increase.

The supply decreasing would cause attention to buyers especially big companies.

what was china motive in joining world war I alongside the allies?
A. they hoped to drive japan out of mainland china.
B. they hoped to defeat Germany and collect reparations.
C. they hoped to ally with japan and make peace between the two nations.
D. they hoped to ally with the united states and become a world superpower.

Answers

Answer:

China's motive in joining World War I alongside the Allies was that they hoped to drive Japan out of mainland China.

Explanation:

During the second half of the 19th century, China fell into a very bad situation, where it was not able to control and resist foreign invasion and policies, and the people living in misery. This continued during the 20th century, with the only difference being that the initial colonial powers lost ground in China and Japan became the new colonist.

Japan was much more brutal, and unlike the previous colonists that were solely interested in the economic aspect of the colonialism, Japan went genocidal on China. The situation was so terrible that the Chinese decided to ally with their former colonists that were part of the Allies in order to push back the Japanese forces.

Answer:

A. is the correct answer.

Explanation:

I know it is right I just took the test. Hope this helps! :)
