How do imperial nations rule other countries?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Imperial nations rule other countries through a variety of methods, including colonization, military occupation, indirect control through puppet governments or client states, economic dominance, and cultural assimilation. These strategies ensure the imperial nation's political, economic, and cultural influence is maintained, often for the purpose of extracting resources, expanding territory, asserting dominance, or pursuing geopolitical objectives. These methods can be enforced through military intervention, political alliances, economic coercion, and the imposition of their legal systems and cultural norms upon the subjugated nation.

What is united?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A unit is what we measure something in. It helps us know both what is being measured, and the scale that is being measured.

For example, if the unit is an inch, then we're measuring the length of something relatively small. If the unit is a lightyear, then we're measuring the distance of something huge (most likely the space between things in outer space).

What year did the UN divide Palestine into a jewish state and an Arab state?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Answer you are looking for is "the United Nations Partition Plan for the Mandate of Palestine".

However, there are two minor errors in the phrasing of this question. The first is semantic: the UN Partition Plan came out of UNGA Resolution 181 which was passed on November 29, 1947, not 1948. Israel declare independence according to the provisions of UNGA Resolution 181 on May 14, 1948, but that was not when the "division" occurred.

The second error is that Palestine was not actively divided. The UN took a map and made a prescriptive judgment about where a Jewish State should be and where an Arab State should be. It would have been binding had both sides agreed, but the Arabs were not interested in allowing for any Jewish State and therefore prevented an agreement from being realized. Therefore, Palestine was not actually divided physically, just potentially. Israel used this window of permissibility to declare statehood in 1948 and Palestine used this to declare statehood in 1988.

Why Japan is not the permanent member of United Nations?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Japan has outlawed war (GEN Douglas MacArthur's directive during the occupation & reconstruction period after WWII). Japan is forbidden to fight wars or possess an army, navy or air force. They have instead, a SELF DEFENSE MARITIME FORCE, SELF DEFENSE GROUND FORCE, and a SELF DEFENSE AIR FORCE.

The point of the Permanent Members was also that they were the victors of WWII and the most powerful military nations. Japan was a destroyed loser.
