Which Muslim faction believed that only the descendants of Ali could lawfully rule in the Islamic world?

Answer and Explanation:

The Shiites were a branch of Islam who followed the path of Islam but disagreed with the Sunnis (the other branch of Islam) about a certain topic.

The Shiites thought that the descendants (or heirs) of the fourth caliph, Ali, cousin and son-in-law of prophet Muhammad, could lawfully rule in the Islamic World, and no one else but them.

by 1890, the united states had by far the world's most productive economy. american industry produced twice as much as its closest competitor--britain. but the united states was not a great military or diplomatic power. its army numbered less than 30,000 troops, and its navy had only about 10,000 seamen. britain's army was five times the size of its american counterpart, and its navy was ten times bigger. the united states' military was small because the country was situated between two large oceans and was surrounded by weak or friendly nations. it faced no serious military threats and had little interest in asserting military power overseas.
