The conference, proposed by Portugal in pursuance of its special claim to control of the Congo estuary, was necessitated by the jealousy and suspicion with which the great European powers viewed one another’s attempts at colonial expansion in Africa. The general act of the Conference of Berlin declared the Congo River basin to be neutral (a fact that in no way deterred the Allies from extending the war into that area in World War I); guaranteed freedom for trade and shipping for all states in the basin; forbade slave trading; and rejected Portugal’s claims to the Congo River estuary—thereby making possible the founding of the independent Congo Free State, to which Great Britain, France, and Germany had already agreed in principle.

Explain ONE way in which policies to maintain global influence in the United States were similar to the policies to maintain global influence in the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached or further references we can say the following.
One way in which policies to maintain global influence in the United States were similar to the policies to maintain global influence in the Soviet Union during the Cold War was that the United States tries to protect its economic and political interest in other regions of the world, as for example, in the case of the Middle East.
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union spread communism over many regions of the world, basically in Eastern Europe and its satellite countries such as Poland Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Bulgaria, Albania, and Romania.
I n a similar way, the United States has a strong influence in different parts of the world, such as in the Persian Gulf and the Arab nations, due basically to oil deposits.
The Cold war was developed between the US and Soviet Union after the end of WWII as part of the political rivalry but with no formal declaration of war.

What did the town look like before the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki?
Answer:
Nagasaki, capital and largest city of Nagasaki ken (prefecture), western Kyushu, Japan, located at the mouth of the Urakami-gawa (Urakami River) where it empties into Nagasaki-kō (Nagasaki Harbour). The harbour is composed of a narrow, deep-cut bay, formed at the meeting point of Nomo-saki (Cape Nomo; south) and Nishisonoki-hantō (Nishisonoki Peninsula; northwest). The city is shaped like an amphitheatre, with its crooked streets and tiered houses clinging to the hillsides that enclose the inner bay. Reclaimed land at bayside and the Urakami Basin provide some level land. Although the perception is that the city is totally modern and rebuilt since 1945, actually Nagasaki has a number of areas where old buildings and temples remain.
