What are the three major rivers of east Asia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In terms of which rivers are fastest, the Mogami, Fuji, and Kuma would qualify first. In terms of the longest river, the Shinano takes first place. However, the river with the largest overall watershed is the Tono. Thus, which rivers are 'largest' depends on the criteria (though the first three listed are the best choice for the general question).

Was Italy an allied power during WW1?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Originally it sided with Germany and Austria when they looked like they had the upper hand. As soon as Germany took major loses in the Eastern and Western fronts it quickly switched sides to the allies.

It's more in depth than that but that's what basically happened. Think it was due to the fact that Mussolini had been thrown from power and a new government had replaced him.

Why did Germany want Mexico to attack the US?

Asked by Wiki User

By offering aid should they do so. Mexico's only reason for not starting such a fight was that they physically couldn't maintain it; few and poorly trained troops, low quality and outdated gear, and terrible organisation.

Why was Canada a part of World War 1?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In 1914, most Canadian could not find Serbia on a map. Although Archduke Ferdinand's assassination was news-worthy and tragic, few Canadians understood what it meant. However, Canada was a proud and loyal member of the British Empire. Canada's relations with foreign powers were in hand OS Great Britain.When Britain was at war, Canada was automatically at war, but Canada could determine the extent and nature of its effort.

While many Canadians were keen to follow Britain to the battlefields of Europe, few understood the back-ground causes of the war. Many felt that Britain was in the right and Germany was at fault.

So without much thinking or real debate, the young country advanced into the unknown. Canadians eagerly joined a war that they hd absolutely no role in causing or declaring. They would, however, play a great part in fighting the war. They would also soon know the pain and price of war.

What new country was formed at the end of the Boer War?

User Avatar

Asked by Rydot

There were a lot of different factors that led to the Boer Wars. The 2nd Boer War is the main one that most people mean when they refer to the Boer War. I'll try to give a brief explanation. The Cape Colony was a British Colony and the original European settlement in southern Africa. The Boers, people of Dutch and some Hugeonot Ancestry, moved from Capetown by trekking inland, further north and west. The major migration was known as the Great Trek. They eventually established towns, which the British had little interest in until it became clear that there was an abundance of diamonds and gold to be mined. The British kept trying to annex new Boer Colonies, the Natal, Orange Free State, and the Transvaal. The Boers were pissed because they lived a lifestyle that valued open land and space, hunting, their language and culture, and political autonomy to preserve this culture. They did not want to be controlled by the British. The Boer Colonies were important in terms of linking British South Africa to the Indian Ocean and in the entire scheme of Europeans' plans to exploit the entire African continent. Cecil Rhodes particulary wanted the Boer Colonies under British control. There were a lot of politics surrounding the rights of non-Boers, known as Outlanders, working in mining towns within Boer territory. The issue was exaggerated by Rhodes and others as anti-Boer propoganda. Eventually, it was Rhodes who pushed for what would become known as the Jameson Raid. A band of armed men rode into the Transvaal, in order to incite an uprising amongst the Outlanders. But the raid failed, the Boers knew about it and the Outlanders were never really that upset. So a war started. There was a lot of international tenstion surrounding the war as well. England and Germany were pissed at each other, and the Kaiser kind of supported the Boers. Most people felt that the British were unjustly fighting the Boers; the use of concentration camps and a scorched earth policy made the British cause very unpopular. In the end, the British won the war and eventually the entire place became South Africa, more or less as it is today.

What are centripetal forces in Europe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are many different centripetal forces but some are:

Economic:

1. A common market in Europe is a centripetal force by allowing goods and workers to travel freely across borders.

2. The EU trading bloc unites Europe because they work together in the global economy and they have more power in the global economy.

Political:

1. The development of a supernational government unites Europe by bringing its members together to work on common issues e.g. pollution, unemployment, etc.

2. The development of a European citizenship unites Europe because people think of themselves as citizens of Europe, NOT necessarily as citizens of their own country. They can also live and work anywhere in the EU.

Cultural:

1. The EU has united Europe by promoting a common culture because it has created a common cultural identity and symbols.

2. Increased travel has also united Europe by helping the youth to learn new languages and people see it as more unified.

What was trench foot in ww1?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

From Wikipedia:

Trench foot, also known as fat foot, is a medical condition caused by prolonged exposure of the feet to damp, unsanitary and cold conditions.

Affected feet may become numb, may be affected by erythrosis (turning red) or cyanosis (turning blue) as a result of poor vascular supply, and feet may begin to have a decaying odor due to the possiblility of early stages of necrosis. As the condition worsens, feet may also begin to swell. Advanced immersion foot often involves blisters and open sores, which lead to fungal infections; this is sometimes called tropical ulcer (jungle rot).

If left untreated, immersion foot usually results in gangrene, which can require amputation. If treated properly, complete recovery is normal, though it is marked by severe short-term pain when feeling returns. Like other cold injuries, it leaves sufferers more susceptible to it in the future.

What is the indication that the last ammunition round has been fired for the m500 shotgun?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The M500 is the US Navy designation for the Mossberg 590 shotgun, which is a part of the Mossberg 500 family. There is no indication that the last round has been fired, other than hearing just a click and no report when you pull the trigger. This requires the firer to keep track of the rounds they fire.
