Explanation:
The German plan of unrestricted submarine attacks were primarily focused on European shipping targets. Why did these plans have such an influence on American opinions of neutrality?
Answer:
Unrestricted submarine warfare was first introduced in World War I in early 1915, when Germany declared the area around the British Isles a war zone, in which all merchant ships, including those from neutral countries, would be attacked by the German navy. A string of attacks on merchant ships followed, culminating in the sinking of the British ship Lusitania by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915. Although the Lusitania was a British ship and it was carrying a supply of munitions—Germany used these two facts to justify the attack—it was principally a passenger ship, and the 1,201 people who drowned in its sinking included 128 Americans. The incident prompted U.S. President Woodrow Wilson to send a strongly worded note to the German government demanding an end to German attacks against unarmed merchant ships. By September 1915, the German government had imposed such strict constraints on the operation of the nation’s submarines that the German navy was persuaded to suspend U-boat warfare altogether. German navy commanders, however, were ultimately not prepared to accept this degree of passivity, and continued to push for a more aggressive use of the submarine, convincing first the army and eventually the government, most importantly Kaiser Wilhelm, that the U-boat was an essential component of German war strategy. Planning to remain on the defensive on the Western Front in 1917, the supreme army command endorsed the navy’s opinion that unrestricted U-boat warfare against the British at sea could result in a German victory by the fall of 1917. In a joint audience with the kaiser on January 8, 1917, army and naval leaders presented their arguments to Wilhelm, who supported them in spite of the opposition of the German chancellor, Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg, who was not at the meeting. Though he feared antagonizing the U.S., Bethmann Hollweg accepted the kaiser’s decision, pressured as he was by the armed forces and the hungry and frustrated German public, which was angered by the continuing Allied naval blockade and which supported aggressive action towards Germany’s enemies.

They also came to west Africa to trade goods for slaves
Explanation:
slave trade, the capturing, selling, and buying of enslaved persons. Slavery has existed throughout the world since ancient times, and trading in slaves has been equally universal. Enslaved persons were taken from the Slavs and Iranians from antiquity to the 19th century, from the sub-Saharan Africans from the 1st century CE to the mid-20th century, and from the Germanic, Celtic, and Romance peoples during the Viking era. Elaborate trade networks developed: for example, in the 9th and 10th centuries, Vikings might sell East Slavic slaves to Arab and Jewish traders, who would take them to Verdun and Leon, whence they might be sold throughout Moorish Spain and North Africa. The transatlantic slave trade is perhaps the best known. In Africa, women and children but not men were wanted as slaves for labour and for lineage incorporation; from circa 1500, captive men were taken to the coast and sold to Europeans. They were then transported to the Caribbean or Brazil, where they were sold at auction and taken throughout the New World. In the 17th and 18th centuries, enslaved African persons were traded in the Caribbean for molasses, which was made into rum in the American colonies and traded back to Africa for more slaves. The practice of slavery continued in many countries (illegally) into the 21st century. Indeed, the not-for-profit abolitionist organization American Anti-Slavery Group claims that more than 40 million people are enslaved around the world. Sex slavery, in which women and children are forced into prostitution—sometimes by their own family members—is a growing practice throughout the world.

Answer:
The Berlin Conference of 1884–1885 indicates the European competition for territory in Africa. It was also known as the Congo Conference or West African Conference and it was organized by Otto von Bismarck, first Chancellor of Germany.
During the 1870s and early 1880s Great Britain, France, Germany, and others began looking to Africa for natural resources as well as a potential market for the goods these factories produced.
The Scramble for Africa, which was the name given to the event of the occupation, division, and colonization of African territory by European powers, led to conflict among these powers, particularly between the British and French in West Africa; Egypt; the Portuguese and British in East Africa; and the French and King Leopold II in central Africa. The competition between Great Britain and France led Bismarck to take action, and in late 1884 he called a meeting of European powers in Berlin.
In consecutive meetings, Great Britain, France, Germany, Portugal, and King Leopold II negotiated their requests to African territory, and they were then formalized and mapped. During the conference the leaders also agreed to allow free trade among the colonies and established a structure for them to negotiate future European claims in Africa.
As a result of the Berlin Conference: The Congo Free State was confirmed as the private ownership of “Congo Society”. Consequently, the territory of the Democratic Republic of Congo today. Also, nearly 2 million square kilometers passed into the hands of King Leopold II and it late became a Belgian colony.
The 14 signatory powers mentioned above have free trade across the Congo River basin and Lake Malawi. And the Niger and Congo rivers were free transit of ships.
It was also a signed by the states an international prohibition to abolish the slave trade.

Government and Democracy How
did political machines respond to the
needs of the people?
Answer:
Explanation:
La première illusion, en cultivant la définition de la démocratie comme le pouvoir du peuple, crée le mythe de l’autogouvernement selon lequel le peuple s’émanciperait enfin du règne de la domination et de la sphère oppressive du pouvoir. Pour l’auteur cette illusion est bien un mythe qui n’a jamais correspondu à la réalité de la démocratie. Loin d’être un régime dans lequel le peuple en personne gouverne, la démocratie n’est qu’un certain aménagement de l’asymétrie entre gouvernants et gouvernés, asymétrie propre à tout pouvoir. La démocratie n’est donc pas un régime qui aurait le don exceptionnel d’échapper au pouvoir et à la domination. La démocratie conçue comme autogouvernement n’a jamais existé. Elle ne doit pas être non plus un idéal politique, celui d’une société enfin transparente à elle-même et vidée de tout rapport de pouvoir, vers lequel il faudrait tendre. Notre expérience concrète de la démocratie, loin de confirmer la définition de la démocratie comme autogouvernement, l’invalide : nous, le peuple, nous ne gouvernons pas, nous consentons à déléguer notre pouvoir à des représentants. C’est
