Answer:

The Four Modernizations was an economic reform program in the People's Republic of China dating back to 1975 and Chinese Prime Minister Zhou Enlai. In 1978, two years after Mao Zedong's death, the Chinese Communist Party decided to implement this program, which aimed at modernizing the country's industry, agriculture, defense, and its science and technology.  

The first changes took place in the countryside. The peoples' municipalities were dissolved and the land given back (albeit only as rented land) to the peasants; thus, they created the basis for an agricultural production that generated surplus production quotas. The farmers could sell this surplus at a profit in the markets. In less than eight years, the country's average income tripled.  

But it was the creation of special economic zones in several coastal provinces from 1980 onwards that became the engine of the Chinese economic downturn. Both founding of private companies were allowed and the legal framework for tightening foreign investment was created.

The statement is True. Tacoma and Spokane, like many city centers, faced challenges as people moved to the suburbs and started shopping at malls instead of downtown, leading to a decline in downtown commercial activity.

The assertion in the question is True. The phenomenon of people migrating from city centers like Tacoma and Spokane to suburbs and preferring to shop in malls rather than downtown areas is a well-documented part of urban sociology. Known as 'suburbanization', this trend had a significant impact on the economics of downtown city areas as they faced a decrease in consumer activity as people preferred the convenience and variety of suburban malls. This led to many downtown businesses suffering financial losses, or even closure, effectively resulting in a decline in downtown areas.

The main impact that I can think of with regard to this question is that the Civil War helped to cause conflicts between Indians and the United States.

The Civil War took up a lot of government resources.  Because of this, Native Americans in the Midwest weren't paid the way the treaties said they had to be.  This led to conflicts between the US and the Indians, including a famous incident in Minnesota that ended with about 40 Sioux being hanged.  It was also during the Civil War that the infamous Sand Creek Massacre happened.

There were also Indians who fought in the Civil War, mainly on the side of the South.  But this had little effect other than on the individuals who fought.

Mainly, then, the Civil War helped cause conflicts to erupt because the US Government didn't have the resources to either keep the Indians happy or keep them suppressed.                                                   

The Civil war changed the lives of the American women because before it, they were mostly concerned with matters of their homes. With the Civil War, women because more involved with society by helping with volunteer brigades, working as nurses, cooking for troops, sewing, and washing uniforms, organizing fundraising campaigns to raise money to help with the war.

Egypt is to Hieroglyphics as Sumeria is to Cuneiform. Both complex writing systems played significant roles in maintaining records and cultural continuity in their respective ancient civilizations.

Egypt is to Hieroglyphics as Sumeria is to Cuneiform. Just like hieroglyphics were part of the ancient Egyptian culture, cuneiform was integral to the Sumerian civilization. The ancient Sumerians inhabited the region of Southern Mesopotamia and are known for developing one of the earliest known writing systems. Cuneiform consisted of wedge-shaped characters impressed onto clay tablets, which evolved from pictorial hieroglyphics originally drawn on clay. Over time, these pictorial representations transformed into a complex system of characters for writing, which was used for various purposes including recording laws, business transactions, and literature.

Both Egyptian Hieroglyphics and Sumerian Cuneiform were highly complex writing systems that required significant training to master, typically done by scribes. These writing systems enabled both civilizations to maintain records and cultural continuity over centuries. Interestingly, in both cultures, the artwork was closely associated with writing, as most Egyptian works of art are actually larger forms of the figures found in hieroglyphs, and similar conventions were established in Sumerian carvings and sculptures.

Answer:

Japan invaded Northern China and korea

Explanation:

Japan started building its Pacific Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, by expanding into neighboring Asian countries and creating puppet states like Manchuko in Manchuria. During World War II, Japan further expanded its control to various territories including Korea, Taiwan, and parts of China. The empire ended after WWII when the U.S. and its allies defeated Japan.

The efforts of Japan to build a Pacific Empire mainly occurred during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Using its powerful military, Japan first started its empire-building by attempting to establish control and influence over neighboring Asian countries. One of the primary reasons for this was the additional resources that these countries could provide, as Japan itself is quite limited in natural resources.

In the 1930s, the Japanese empire began expanding into the Pacific. The most notable example of this is the invasion of Manchuria in 1931. Japan created a puppet state, named Manchuko, and this marked the start of their Pacific Empire. This was followed by the conquest of many other territories in East and Southeast Asia during World War II, including Korea, Taiwan, and parts of China, along with various Pacific islands.

The end of the Pacific empire came after World War II, when the United States and its allies defeated Japan. The international community, under the auspices of the newly formed United Nations, forced Japan to give up its imperial acquisitions.

Answer:

I believe that the planned economic system is the most effective to combat scarcity problems.

Explanation:

The planned economy is one where all the production of national goods and services is totally and previously planned by a group of economic experts who know well the means of national production and the amount of consumption that the country's population establishes. For this reason, this type of economic system is able to predict moments of scarcity by developing guidelines to avoid them, they are also able to avoid problems of scarcity, since everything is highly planned.

The 900s – 1300s was reported to be one of the most notable moments during the medieval ages in Europe.  New cities and towns started to develop one after another brought about by the following factors:

 * BOOMING POPULATION : The growing population eventually caused new cities and towns to rise in Europe. There were no reported incidence of plagues nor food shortage back then so people were living longer; hence the growth in population.

 * TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS : with the growing population, new and innovative ways in the field of farming & agriculture were introduced. More lands were cultivated, more cereals, oats and other grains were produced. More sustenance and even source of income were provided for the growing communities; hence became one of the factors that enabled cities and towns to develop as well.

 * TRADING WAS UP:  New roads and forms of transportation were built and this resulted to healthy trading. With the abundance of food being grown in the rural areas, being able to trade and transport food to urban areas allows the growth of towns and cities.

The growth of cities and towns during the Middle Ages in Europe was due to the fall of the Roman Empire, the establishment of feudal societies, and advancements in trade and commerce.

The development of cities and towns during the Middle Ages can be attributed to a variety of factors. Firstly, the fall of the Roman Empire led to the formation of smaller regional powers, causing people to consolidate into walled cities for protection. Secondly, the formation of feudal societies also contributed to the growth of towns around castles and manors.

Furthermore, changes in trade and commerce spurred urban development, as villages grew into towns and eventually into cities, creating the need for administrators and public services. The development of long-distance trade networks also led to the growth of cities as they became centers for trade and commerce. The existence of caravansaries, where merchants could store their goods and exchange ideas, further spurred city growth as these places often transformed into bustling urban centers.

In conclusion, the growth of cities and towns during the Middle Ages in Europe was a result of political changes, the establishment of feudal societies, and the growth of commerce and trade.

Movable print was less efficient in China due to the extensive number of individual characters, requiring a separate block for each, making the system impractical. In contrast, Europe's alphabetical system was much more compatible with movable print. Furthermore, the printing press's rise was concurrent with significant societal and cultural changes in Europe that promoted its success, helping to spread ideas and knowledge efficiently.

The movable print, first invented in China by Bi Sheng around 1000 CE, was less efficient in China due to the large number of Chinese characters. Each character required a separate block, making the system less practical compared to the European context. In Europe, Johannes Gutenberg improved this invention around 1440 by creating a similar system using metal blocks for each letter of the alphabet.

The printing press in Europe was remarkably successful due to several factors. Firstly, it coincided with the rise of a class of capitalist merchants who sought to spread their ideas and challenge traditional authorities, such as the church and feudal monarchies. The printing press structured the formation of European nation-states.

Secondly, the printing press met the demands of the literate commoners in Europe, catalyzing the spread of local languages and ideas over Latin, which was predominantly used by elites. This helped in establishing a common language within emerging nation-states, aiding the spread of common messages and standardized practices.

Movable print played a pivotal role in the spread of wisdom and information during the Renaissance, leading to the Age of Enlightenment.
