The correct answer is option D. "The U.S. wanted to defeat the communist troops who were there". Nixon authorized the invasion of Cambodia on April 28, 1970, allowing combat troops to cross the border from South Vietnam into Cambodia. The main reason why U.S. wanted to enter Cambodia was to defeat the communist troops that were residing there.

What characteristic did the ruling class of the Italian city/state and Tokugawa Japan have in common

P Answered by PhD

Dominant clans ruled. Basically both societies used the "Godfather" system in forms suited to their time and culture. Strong emphasis on clan, bloodline, obedience, social class divisions and racism in the sense of what we would now call nationality (nation states were just beginning to emerge and the concept of 'citizen' was fuzzy and evolving). It is still true that for obvious reason the Japanese still equate nationality with race but while that's interesting, it's not what the question is looking for.

Why were enslaved Africans brought to the Americas?

P Answered by PhD 1

Answer and explanation:
First off it would be more accurate to say for the most part Africans enslaved each other and Europeans bought them and continued to hold them as slaves.
Initially it was for two reasons, there was a labor shortage in America for people who wanted to run large agricultural operations because land was cheap in America and free people would rather work a farm for themselves than someone else. The second reason was Africans weren’t Christians and so there was little moral inhibition against holding them as slaves. Later on, when the descendants of Africans in America were now Christian they were initially freed but very soon the excuse of special racial inferiority was invented to justify keeping people as slaves. In the middle ages in Europe, Africans weren’t thought to be any more inferior than people in the next village over.
Later still, with the extraordinary demand and growth of cotton cultivation slavery became a system by which anyone with money could make an enormous profit. Cotton cultivation wouldn’t work without slavery because cotton depleted the soil and required workers to be moved to ever more remote areas and work in poor conditions. Paying free workers enough to consider accepting such work would make it unprofitable.
So it was a case of slavery and big profits or no slavery and poor profits. When faced with that kind of choice a significant percentage of people from any race will talk themselves into almost anything, however pernicious and evil.

briefly describe one major difference between beards and berkins historical interpretations of the drafting of the united states constitution

P Answered by PhD

The correct answer to this open question is the following.Although you did not include any references or texts, we can comment on the following.My brief description would be this one.One major difference between Beard’s and Berkin’s historical interpretations of the drafting of the United States Constitution is the perspective from it was written. Each of the historians considered different points of view.Here is why.In the case of historian Charles Beard, he expressed in "An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States" (1913), that the framers of the US Constitution had economic interests as the priority when the document was drafted. They were so interested in protecting privacy rights and never compromise the economy of the people. On the other hand, in the case of historian Carol Berkin, she commented in "A Brilliant Solution: Inventing the American Constitution" (2002), that the founding fathers drafted the Constitution they focused on solving the many problems left by the English crown. They used their experience to protect the new country to protect it from a tyrant.

Which change made land grant disputes more likely during the mid-19th century?

P Answered by PhD 1

Answer and explanation:
From the early to mid-19th century the federal government, through 162 violence-backed cessions, expropriated approximately 10.7 million acres of land from 245 tribal nations and divided it into roughly 80,000 parcels for redistribution. Under the act, each eligible state received 30,000 acres (120 km2) of federal land, either within or contiguous to its boundaries, for each member of congress the state had as of the census of 1860. This land, or the proceeds from its sale, was to be used toward establishing and funding the educational institutions described above. Under provision six of the Act, "No State while in a condition of rebellion or insurrection against the government of the United States shall be entitled to the benefit of this act," in reference to the recent secession of several Southern states and the contemporaneously raging American Civil War.
After the war, however, the 1862 Act was extended to the former Confederate states; it was eventually extended to every state and territory, including those created after 1862. If the federal land within a state was insufficient to meet that state's land grant, the state was issued scrip which authorized the state to select federal lands in other states to fund its institution. For example, New York carefully selected valuable timber land in Wisconsin to fund Cornell University. The resulting management of this scrip by the university yielded one third of the total grant revenues generated by all the states, even though New York received only one-tenth of the 1862 land grant. Overall, the 1862 Morrill Act allocated 17,400,000 acres (70,000 km2) of land, which when sold yielded a collective endowment of $7.55 million.
