One way ming dynasty was able to cause the empire to experience tremendous economic growth was to a) make an alliance with the yuan dynasty. b) use the navy to establish colonies throughout the pacific. c) create a system of roads connecting china with the middle east. d) institute land reform and relax trade restrictions with europeans.

D) Institute land reform and relax trade restrictions with Europeans.

Explanation:

In the early Ming, the Hongwu Emperor forced strict restrictions on trade, but by the late Ming, the state relaxed those policies and the Ming dynasty got involved in a flourishing trade with both Europe and Japan.

Since the start of the Ming dynasty, distribution of land to peasants was a key goal, developed through forced migration, public works projects, and the reduction of the demands for forced labor on the peasantry. Some lands were given to young farmers, and it was stated that those who brought unproductive land to cultivation could own it without taxes.

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)
