D) Protestors were angry about the war in Vietnam.

EVIDENCE: In 1968, anti-war Democrats had no major candidate to represent them. Frustrated, they gathered outside the Democratic National Convention, which was held in Chicago in August 1968. They begin to loudly protest, calling for an end to the Vietnam War and changes to the election system. Conflicts soon arose between the protesters and the police outside the convention, leading to a riot. Police set up barriers, and protesters resisted, sometimes throwing objects at the police. Officers responded by beating protesters and using tear gas on them. Following the riots, many began to lose faith in the government, specifically in the Democratic Party. Overall, the Democratic National Convention was in crisis.

Democratic candidate Hubert Humphrey had come out in support of Johnson's war policies, and anti-war delegates within the convention were eventually arrested and beaten as were reporters and medics. The Democratic Party became severely divided. As the nation seemed to descend further into chaos and violence, more people lost faith in the American political system to protect and provide their civil rights and liberties.

the expansion of the rule of empires over other territories took place as a result of several reasons including economic, ethnocentric, political, and religious, and exploratory purposes.

in terms of economic purposes: imperial governments aimed to maximize profits and with that purpose they neeeded cheap labor, access to or control of markets to sell or buy products. they also desired to find natural resources (precious metals and land). in the awake of   industrial revolution, dependent colonies provided the necessary raw materials that european factories and market needed to manufacture products.  

ethnocentric: many territories were conquered by imperial territories in an attempt to spread their cultures, values and belief as they considered them to be superior. in the late 19th century, for example, european powers held   the racist belief that inferior races should be conquered in order to “civilize” them.

political: another reason that drove conquer and expansion was patriotism and growing imperial power. it refers to national prestige, pride, and security. empires sought strategic territory to ensure access for their navies and armies around the world.

religious: the aim of converting new member of other religions was another factor that prompted expansion.   christian missionaries from europe established churches in conquered territories during the nineteenth century. thus, they spread western cultural values. furthermore, the imperial nation’s language was spread as well, through educational and religious interactions.

exploratory: imperial nations or their citizens aimed to explore territory that was unknown to them,   for different purposes including medical or scientific research, however, at the very   beginning, they did it to embark on adventure. furthermore, imperial explorers sought to discover, map, and claim territory before their imperial competition did, for national and personal glory as well as to realize the imperialist goal of expansion.
