How would you explain the intensification of American interest
in Asia in the 1840's and 1850's?

The Whaling Industry allowed for Americans to dissolve isolation of Asian countries. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo added ports along the Pacific that wereused for U.S. influence and explorations. Opium was also a major driving factor ofinterest through trade, in addition to the idea of expansion with the Kanagawa Treaty,which opened ports to American commerce. The United States wanted to extend theirborders to keep close contact for American success.

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
