Answer 1

The correct statement that assesses how the global depression caused regional and state conflicts is: "The global depression caused Japan to invade Manchuria to acquire necessary resources and improve its economy."

This statement accurately reflects historical events, as Japan did indeed invade Manchuria in 1931, motivated in part by economic needs during the Great Depression. The other statements refer to actions that Japan did not take (like invading Austria, Czechoslovakia, or Ethiopia).
