ANS: Possible response: The graph shows rapidly rising trade between Japan and other countries during the period of the Meiji Restoration. During this time, Meiji reformers not only opened Japan to trade but also to new ideas from other countries. They set about building a modern industrial economy. With the help of education and technologies gained from Western nations, Japanese industries began producing large quantities of silk, ships, copper, coal, and steel. These products contributed to the rise in exports shown in the graph. Exports, in turn, brought in money that Japan could use to buy products from other countries, resulting in the rise in imports shown in the graph. PTS: 1 DIF: Difficult REF: pp. 786-788 17. ANS: Possible response: Conservatives defended the traditional social order, favored press censorship, and strongly supported the Catholic Church. Liberals backed laissez-faire economics, religious toleration, greater access to education, and freedom of the press. Though the liberals thought of themselves as enlightened, they showed little concern for the majority of the people. As the ruling elite, both groups probably sought to preserve their power and status, though their views may have differed on other social issues. PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: p. 802 OBJ: 25.4.1 Describe the political problems faced by new Latin American nations. STA: 12.1.6 12.2.10 18. ANS: Possible response: In the late 1700s, ethnic tensions arose between colonists of French and British heritage. To ease tensions, Britain created the provinces of English-speaking Upper Canada and French-speaking Lower Canada. French traditions and religion would be protected in Lower Canada. English traditions and laws guided Upper Canada. In central Canada in the late 1800s, the métis (French-speaking Catholics of Native American and French Canadian descent) feared that the government would take their land and destroy their language and religion. This led them to revolt under the leadership of Louis Riel. Today, French-speaking Canadians are determined to preserve their separate heritage, making it hard for Canadians to establish a single national identity.

ID: A 19. ANS: Possible response: The effect of the peonage system was virtual slavery of workers by hacienda owners. As a result, rich hacienda owners became richer while the Indians and mestizos who worked for them remained poor. In the peonage system, hacienda owners would give workers advances on their wages. However, this loan had strings attached. The workers had to remain on the hacienda until they repaid the loan in full. Since most workers were unable to repay their loans largely due to the low wages they received, they had to remain on the hacienda indefinitely. The extreme poverty that resulted from this system ensured that the children of workers did not receive an education and had to work long hours in the fields. PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: p. 804 OBJ: 25.4.2 Summarize Mexico's struggle for stability. STA: 12.1.6 12.2.10 TOP: Mexico 20. ANS: Possible response: Imperialism is the domination of one country by another. Economic imperialism, therefore, is domination by economic means rather than by military force. In the 1800s, foreign goods and foreign investment flooded Latin America. One effect of this was interference in Latin American political affairs by foreign governments. Foreign investors pressured their governments to take political action in Latin America to protect their interests. Foreign capital did help Latin American economies grow some after 1850 and a small middle class emerged. Still, the internal economic development of many Latin American countries remained limited since primarily only a few people at the top profited from the economic growth. The poor earned too little to buy consumer goods, and without this demand many industries failed to develop.
