Final answer:
The United States initiated trade with Japan in the mid-19th century by sending Commodore Matthew Perry to negotiate, leveraging military pressure. Perry's fleet displayed U.S. military strength, prompting Japan to open its doors to trade and leading to Japan's rapid industrialization and the end of its isolation.
Explanation:
In the mid-19th century, the United States sought to establish direct trade links with Japan, a nation which had isolated itself from most of the world for centuries to retain its cultural integrity and avoid colonization. The pivotal event in this effort was the mission led by Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853. Perry, on behalf of the U.S. government, sailed with a fleet of warships into Edo (now Tokyo) Bay, carrying with him diplomatic letters from President Millard Fillmore that expressed a strong interest in initiating trade and better treatment for shipwrecked sailors. The letters, while diplomatic, were backed by an implicit threat of military force if the Japanese government refused to engage in trade. Perry's warships, a demonstration of industrial military power, were far superior to any armaments that Japan possessed. As a result, Japan capitulated to the pressure, marking the beginning of a trade relationship with the United States and ending Japan's period of isolation.
Following this encounter, Japan underwent rapid industrialization, recognizing the need to modernize in order to compete on the global stage. This transformation was symbolized by the Meiji Restoration, beginning in 1868, during which time Japan embraced Western technology and knowledge in a bid to catch up with industrialized nations.

Which group of people was most directly affected by the Fourteenth
Amendment?
O
A. Children
B. African Americans
O
C. Naturalized citizens
O D. Women
Answer:
B. African Americans
Explanation:
Passed by the Senate on June 8, 1866, and ratified two years later, on July 9, 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment granted citizenship to all persons "born or naturalized in the United States," including formerly enslaved people, and provided all citizens with “equal protection under the laws,” extending the provisions of the Bill of Rights to the states (senate.gov). Also took the test.
The group of people most directly affected by the Fourteenth Amendment is African Americans. Thus the correct option is B.
What is an Amendment?An Amendment refers to any alteration or modification taken place in existing laws to support the welfare of the people living in the country by improving the objective for better implementation.
The 14th Amendment considered it a key point to provide citizenship to "All individuals born or granted citizenship to All Persons," freeing those who had previously been held in slavery.
Black and white individuals' determined fight to see the 14th Amendment's guarantee fulfilled is one of Reconstruction's clearest indications. In the years following the American Civil War, known as the Reconstruction years, it was ratified in 1868.
Therefore, option B is appropriate.

What were the key reasons for European interventions in the
Middle East in the 18th and 19th centuries and how were they
similar or different than the motives for Western advances
into China in the same period?
The key reasons for European interventions in the Middle East in the 18th and the 19th centuries was for expansion of colonial activity and economic growth.
Explanation:
The ultimate motive of the West was to colonize the countries for resources and goods and wipe of their culture. Europeans intertwined Asia for the technologies and resources. Around the 18th century using racism and arrogance as a psychological aspect, the westerners attacked the Middle East for its own industrial revolution and technology growth and turn itself into an advance nation.

Again, around the 19th century the West approached China for economic growth. Chinese tea and silk was a huge demand in the British market and during that period the British drank a lot of tea than China did. However they traded for it rather than capturing it like they did India.

Which other leader would most likely to agree with the problem Sun identified in China?
Chiang Kai-shek, as Sun Yat-sen's protege and a key figure in the Kuomintang, shared Sun's vision for a modernized and unified China, making him the leader most likely to agree with Sun's diagnoses of China's problems despite later divergences in their approaches.
Explanation:The question concerns leaders who would likely agree with Sun Yat-sen's vision for China, a central figure in ending the Qing dynasty and founding the Republic of China. Looking at historical allies and contemporaries of Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek emerges as a key figure aligning with Sun's goals for a modernized and unified China. Initially, as Sun's protege and a general in the Kuomintang (KMT), Chiang continued Sun's legacy through the Northern Expedition to unify China under the Nationalist government.
However, Chiang's relationship with the communists diverged from Sun's more inclusive approach as he expelled the communists from the KMT, leading to a civil war. Despite this, both leaders shared the core objective of overthrowing the Qing dynasty and opposing warlord hegemony, with Chiang even marrying the sister of Sun's widow, symbolizing a deep personal and ideological connection. Therefore, based on shared objectives of national unification and modernization, Chiang Kai-shek would be the leader most likely to agree with the problems Sun identified in China.
Final answer:
Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping would likely agree with Sun Yat-sen's identified issues in China.
Explanation:
In the context of Chinese history, another leader who would likely agree with the issues identified by Sun Yat-sen in China could be Mao Zedong, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party. Both Sun Yat-sen and Mao Zedong advocated for significant social and political changes in China, aimed at modernization and ending the existing systems of governance.
Additionally, Deng Xiaoping could also be a leader who might agree with Sun's identified problems in China. Deng Xiaoping initiated economic reforms that shifted China towards a market economy, aligning with Sun's vision of modernizing and developing the country.

Final answer:
The Great Compromise led to the creation of the two houses of Congress, balancing the interests of large and small states by establishing the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Explanation:
The compromise which created the two houses of the national legislature, known as the Great Compromise, came about due to the debates between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. As the Convention debated, a committee led by Roger Sherman of Connecticut drafted the Great Compromise.
It resolved that Congress would be bicameral, consisting of the Senate, where each state would have two senators, and the House of Representatives, where representation would be based on population. This structure effectively balanced the needs of both large and small states.

How did the constant transition within the French
government influence its effectiveness?
How did the United States respond to the red scare
United States respond to the red scare:
A Red Scare is the advancement of across the board dread of a potential ascent of socialism or turmoil by a general public or state. The name alludes to the warnings that the socialists utilized.
The term is frequently used to allude to two periods throughout the entire existence of the United States which are alluded to by this name. Red Scare is the gathering together and expelling of a few hundred migrants of radical political perspectives by the central government in 1919 and 1920.
This "alarm" was brought about by fears of disruption by socialists in the United States after the Russian Revolution. Maddened by the bombings, the United States government reacted by attacking the home office of radical associations and capturing a huge number of suspected radicals. A few thousand who were outsiders were extradited.
