Answer: Adam Smith
Scottish philosopher Adam Smith (1723-1790) was strongly critical of the economic system that prevailed in his era. Smith criticized what he called the "mercantile system" because it restricted trade and thus restricted economic growth. The mercantile system believed the wealth of the world was a fixed amount, measured primarily in gold and silver accumulated. The system promoted a nation selling its products abroad but not needing to buy from others, or imposing heavy tariffs if importing anything. Colonies were created to provide raw materials and resources to the mother country and a market for the mother country's products. Commerce was heavily controlled by the government through charters granted to specific trading companies.
Adam Smith countered by advocating a free market -- the opportunity individual businessmen and for all nations to increase their wealth by exchanging goods freely with one another according to what would become known as capitalist principles. We also speak of "laissez-faire" ("let go") as a term for this sort of free-market economy, set free from government controls. This term came from a French group of thinkers called the Physiocrats (meaning "rule by nature') who were working during the same 18th century era as Smith. The Physiocrats and Smith were in agreement about getting government out of the business of controlling business.
B. Germany
The War Guilt clause of the Treaty of Versailles was assigned to Germany.
Germany had to sign the war guilt clause which meant they had to take full responsibility for the war. This clause put high reparations on Germany and a forced demilitarization of the country's armed forces. Germany would become demoralized as a result of the war guilt clause and is often referenced as the reason for the rise of Hitler and World War II.
The geographic location of New York state made it a natural link for trade between New England, and the other states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan, between others, due to the following situations:
On the one hand, New England is in the extreme northeast of the nation, which means that it does not necessarily have direct connections with the other regions.
On the other hand, goods produced in that region could not travel south other than via New York due to the existence of the Great Lakes to the west, which would make any shortcut to these territories impossible.

Answer: "The Erie Canal was first opened in 1825. It was significant because it connected Lake Erie and the Great Lakes system to the Hudson River, and thereby gave the western states direct access to the Atlantic Ocean without shipping goods downstream on the Mississippi River to New Orleans."
