Answer:
Western imperialism in Asia involves the influence of people from Western Europe and associated states (such as Russia, Japan and the United States) in Asian territories and waters. Much of this process stemmed from the 15th-century search for trade routes to China that led directly to the Age of Discovery, and the introduction of early modern warfare into what Europeans first called the East Indies and later the Far East. By the early 16th century, the Age of Sail greatly expanded Western European influence and development of the spice trade under colonialism. European-style colonial empires and imperialism operated in Asia throughout six centuries of colonialism, formally ending with the independence of the Portuguese Empire's last colony East Timor in 2002. The empires introduced Western concepts of nation and the multinational state. This article attempts to outline the consequent development of the Western concept of the nation state.
The thrust of European political power, commerce, and culture in Asia gave rise to growing trade in commodities—a key development in the rise of today's modern world free market economy. In the 16th century, the Portuguese broke the (overland) monopoly of the Arabs and Italians in trade between Asia and Europe by the discovery of the sea route to India around the Cape of Good Hope.[1] The ensuing rise of the rival Dutch East India Company gradually eclipsed Portuguese influence in Asia.[nb 1] Dutch forces first established independent bases in the East (most significantly Batavia, the heavily fortified headquarters of the Dutch East India Company) and then between 1640 and 1660 wrested Malacca, Ceylon, some southern Indian ports, and the lucrative Japan trade from the Portuguese. Later, the English and the French established settlements in India and established trade with China and their acquisitions would gradually surpass those of the Dutch. Following the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763, the British eliminated French influence in India and established the British East India Company (founded in 1600) as the most important political force on the Indian Subcontinent.
Before the Industrial Revolution in the mid-to-late 19th century, demand for oriental goods such as (porcelain, silk, spices and tea) remained the driving force behind European imperialism, and (with the important exception of British East India Company rule in India) the Western European stake in Asia remained confined largely to trading stations and strategic outposts necessary to protect trade. Industrialization, however, dramatically increased European demand for Asian raw materials; and the severe Long Depression of the 1870s provoked a scramble for new markets for European industrial products and financial services in Africa, the Americas, Eastern Europe, and especially in Asia. This scramble coincided with a new era in global colonial expansion known as "the New Imperialism", which saw a shift in focus from trade and indirect rule to formal colonial control of vast overseas territories ruled as political extensions of their mother countries. Between the 1870s and the beginning of World War I in 1914, the United Kingdom, France, and the Netherlands—the established colonial powers in Asia—added to their empires vast expanses of territory in the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, and South East Asia. In the same period, the Empire of Japan, following the Meiji Restoration; the German Empire, following the end of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871; Tsarist Russia; and the United States, following the Spanish–American War in 1898, quickly emerged as new imperial powers in East Asia and in the Pacific Ocean area.
In Asia, World War I and World War II were played out as struggles among several key imperial powers—conflicts involving the European powers along with Russia and the rising American and Japanese powers. None of the colonial powers, however, possessed the resources to withstand the strains of both world wars and maintain their direct rule in Asia. Although nationalist movements throughout the colonial world led to the political independence of nearly all of Asia's remaining colonies, decolonization was intercepted by the Cold War; and South East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and East Asia remained embedded in a world economic, financial, and military system in which the great powers compete to extend their influence. However, the rapid post-war economic development and rise of the industrialized developed countries of Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, Japan and the developing countries of India, the People's Republic of China and its autonomous territory of Hong Kong, along with the collapse of the Soviet Union, have greatly diminished Western European influence in Asia. The United States remains influential with trade and military bases in Asia.

how did owning large amounts of land affect the roman catholic church
Answer:
It depends on the time period.
Explanation:
Of the time periods I can think of:
Pre-Martin Luther- This would have benefitted the Roman Catholic Church because at the time they were the main governing body along side the Roman Emperor. This land would have added to their prestige and they had another means of revenue to raise money for the church and give their staff (bishops, pope, etc.) a big pay out.
Martin Luther's 95 thesis- The large amounts of land and revenue that the land is generating for the Catholic church will be detrimental to it's image when Martin Luther calls them out on their greediness. He warns against the Church taking money on indulgences and being greedy with what they own, so the large amounts of land will reflect poorly on them, especially because they could have helped the poor instead of renting the land out.

How did Spain’s territories in North America change as a result of Pinckney’s Treaty?
Spain abandoned its territorial claims on lands south of Florida and west of the Mississippi.
Spain abandoned its territorial claims on lands west of New Orleans and north of Florida.
Spain abandoned its territorial claims on lands north of Florida and east of the Mississippi.
Spain abandoned its territorial claims on lands east of the Mississippi including New Orleans.
Answer:
Correct answer is Spain abandoned its territorial claims on lands north of Florida and east of the Mississippi.
Explanation:
First option is wrong because there is no territory south of Florida that was an issue between two countries.
Second one also is wrong because Spain couldn't claim territories to the North of Florida, or west of New Orleans, as they were not part of the dispute and were American territories.
Third option is correct as the Spaniards dropped claims on all territories east of Mississippi, without Florida, of course.
Fourth option is wrong as New Orleans remained in the hands of Spain.

Answer:
The war officially began over a border dispute in what is now south Texas, but President James K. Polk had a larger goal in mind – the acquisition of Mexico’s northern territories of Alta California and Nuevo México.
President Polk initially planned a limited war, but Mexico’s stubborn refusal to part with its northern territories led to a decision to invade and conquer Mexico City. MORE DOWN HERE SCROLL
Mexico lost 55% of its territory to the United States between 1836 and 1848.
The U.S. Army won every major battle in the war, but it was unable to suppress guerrilla activity, which never ceased. This was America’s first counter-insurgency war in a foreign country.

1. What motivated European explorers and settlers to travel to North America between the eleventh and fourteenth centuries?
The correct answer is They wanted to acquire resources and find new markets for trade.
Explanation:
Explorations and expeditions between the 11th and 14th centuries (age of exploration) were mainly motivated by economic purposes. Indeed, countries such as England, Spain, or Portuguese expected to obtain economic benefits by discovering and colonizing new territories. This is because they could use the resources from these territories to trade them or create new products and this implied increased wealth. Moreover, new places meant new markets for trade. For example, the discovery of the Americas implied European products could be sold in the Americas in addition to other continents in which they were already exported.
Cultural diffusion is the process by which:
(A)ideas from one society are speared to another society;
(B)cuneiform was used in traded in place of money;

The overuse of grasslands for herding and farming has made the soil infertile.
The replanting of forests has reduced the amount of grassland.
The clearing of large areas of trees has destroyed forest environments.
Answer:
its either b or d
Explanation:
but i think its more likely b
The overuse of grasslands for herding and farming has made the soil infertile.
and I'll really appreciate if u can mark me brainliest
The overuse of grasslands for herding and farming has made the soil infertile. This has affected the Savannas. Hence, option B is appropriate.
What is the meaning of Savannas?A mixed forest and grassland habitat known as savanna or savannah is characterized by trees that are sufficiently spread apart to prevent the canopy from closing. The open canopy allows enough light to penetrate the soil to maintain an unbroken covering of grasses-dominated herbaceous plants.
Savannas are grasslands with sporadic, isolated trees. About five million square miles, mostly in central Africa, are covered with savannas of one kind or another, as are sizable portions of Australia, South America, as well as India. The most crucial element in the formation of a savanna is the climate.
Savanna, sometimes written savannah, is a type of flora that thrives in hot, seasonally dry climates and is distinguished by an open tree canopy above a persistent understory of tall grass.
Hence, option B is correct.
