@Mooncake333 ?

Answer 2

I'm thinking it is the last answer however I am not completely sure. The reason I believe it is the last answer is because Germany wanted to develop a world-wide colonial empire that would rival Britains which created a lot of competition between Britain and Germany which led them to war...?

Answer 3

That would definitely make sense to me!! Are you okay with a few more questions?
If so, here's the next one!

The passage below is an excerpt from Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations (1776). Use the passage to answer the following question:

Why would Karl Marx disagree with Smith's statement?

Marx believed the focus should be on the market and the individual.

Marx believed consumers should determine which goods are made available for sale.

Marx promoted a system without government regulation.

Marx rejected capitalist ideas such as supply and demand.
