The correct option is C

The invasion of Iraq, which occurred between March 20 and May 1, 2003, was carried out by a coalition of countries, led by the United States along with the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland. Other countries were involved in the occupation phase. The invasion marked the beginning of the war in Iraq.

The invasion of Iraq caused a political fracture between the great powers, which were divided between those who actively opposed the invasion, such as France, Belgium, Germany, Russia, China (as well as other countries that showed a passive opposition), and those that did publicly support the United States, as was the case in the United Kingdom, Spain, Poland, Portugal and other nations that made up the coalition. The invasion (and consequently the war) also caused the first global civic manifestation in history against a conflict.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
