Answer:

Europe was called a "powder keg" because it was a very volatile environment caused by major claims for territory involving powerful powers and their allies.

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand the concept. The powder keg term refers to a very volatile and explosive object. Taking as reference a barrel of gunpowder.

Second, Europe was considered a "powder keg" before WWI because there were territory claims for the Balkans. Also, because there were strong alliances established between major powers and smaller states. Two of them consisted of Russia, France, and Britain. And, Germany with Austria-Hungary and smaller states like Serbia, Bulgaria, Italy, and the ottoman empire. So, there were a lot of countries involved. That could drag a major conflict in a bast amount of area.

Answer:

The Handsmaid Tale

Explanation:

The Handmaid Tale tells the story of Gilead, a dystopian country ruled by a religious authoritarian government in parts of what used to be United States territory.  

Besides many other topics, the show presents Gilead as a rural, traditional oriented society that is transitioning into fully organic agriculture. This transition takes place in response to a global crisis of pollution that has also affected human fertility rates (the main topic of the show).  

Gilead is shown as a slow-paced agricultural society which proudly presents itself as the first green nation. The show makes a point of how Gilead has drastically cut down carbon emissions and pollution and how the leaders of Gilead use this as an argument to justify their authoritarian measures.

In contrast, the show presents life before Gilead and life in Canada as more urban life. In a sense, Gilead is at the same time a Utopia and a dystopia. With all the idealized elements of rural life artificially kept by an iron-fisted religious authoritarian government.
