Which document did the Declaration of Sentiments copy to strengthen their argument?
Explanation
The Declaration of Sentiments copied the Declaration of Independence to strengthen their argument. They likely did this because the Declaration of Independence was a significant document that outlined the rights and grievances of the American colonists against British rule. By referencing and emulating the structure and language of the Declaration of Independence, the Declaration of Sentiments aimed to draw parallels between the oppression faced by women and the oppression faced by the American colonists, thus strengthening their argument for women's rights.Rate this question:

What are the reasons that European nations (and US and Japan) took over less organized territories around the world?
-
To acquire natural resources
-
It was believed that those areas were not able to responsibly govern themselves
-
To spread "civilization"--religion, law, etc.
-
For military security and economic trading
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. All of the aboveExplanation
European nations, the US, and Japan took over less organized territories around the world for multiple reasons. Firstly, they sought to acquire natural resources from these territories, which would benefit their own economies. Additionally, it was believed that these areas were not capable of responsibly governing themselves, leading to a sense of paternalism. Another motive was to spread "civilization" through the introduction of religion, law, and other cultural aspects. Lastly, taking over these territories provided military security and economic trading opportunities. Therefore, all of the above reasons contributed to the colonization of less organized territories.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 1946, after WWIIExplanation
After World War II, the United States relinquished control of the Philippines in 1946. This was part of a process of decolonization, where the US recognized the independence of the Philippines and granted them their sovereignty. The Philippines had been under US control since 1898, when they were acquired from Spain after the Spanish-American War. The period between 1898 and 1946 saw various conflicts and uprisings, such as the Philippine Insurrection, but it was not until after World War II that the US officially relinquished control and the Philippines became an independent nation.Rate this question:

-
Cuba could not create a treaty with any nation other than the US

Correct Answer
A. All of the above.Explanation
The Platt Amendment limited Cuba's independence in the early 1900s by allowing the US to invade Cuban territory if its property were threatened, prohibiting Cuba from creating treaties with any nation other than the US, and preventing Cuba from borrowing money from other nations. This meant that Cuba's sovereignty and ability to make decisions independently were significantly restricted, as it was heavily dependent on the US for protection, international relations, and financial support.Rate this question:
