Answer: B. It represents the main route for settlers moving into the Oregon Territory.
Explanation:
In the early 1800s Americans were encouraged to stretch the USA from the east coast to the west coast in what was called the Manifest destiny. The line above aided in this venture as it enabled people to reach Oregon to the west of the United States.
Rightfully named the Oregon Trail, the line went through four states and allowed hundreds of thousands of people to move to Oregon and other areas in western USA thereby paving the way for the assimilation of those territories into the United States.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Immigrants in the early 1900s were examined for physical and mental illness, questioned about their ability to support themselves financially, and challenged on whether they held radical views.
Jerusalem is a big
city and is the capital if Israel, its one of the oldest cities in the world. It
is located in the central hill country, and is near the border of the Judean
desert. It is far removed from any major trade routes. Canaan was the land in
which the Hebrew people settled. To the Hebrews, Canaan was the “promised land”
when “God” told Abraham, the leader of the Hebrew people, that the land would
belong to the people who will descend from him. At the time when they settled,
the Hebrews were not wealthy and didn’t have any power. They wrote many books
about their history and anything that was related to their religion, called
“Judaism.” In 2000 B.C., Canaan was located to the right, next to the
Mediterranean Sea. On the map of Canaan in the Ancient Middle East, the city of
Jerusalem is located to the left of the Dead Sea. In the eleventh century B.C.
a powerful group of people called the Philistines came from across the
Mediterranean Sea and then settled. Israelites, who were also living in Canaan,
were challenged for land possession. The Israelites decided that the people
should unite and live under just one ruler. The Hebrews thought that they
should have a king who is just and good. Later, there was a war with the
Philistines, which caused the kingdom to fall apart. A man named David helped
defeat the Philistines by throwing a stone so powerfully that it killed one of
the Philistines warriors. Under the command of David, the Israelites had
success with getting their territory back. The Hebrew army ended up capturing
the city of Jerusalem from the Philistines, and later, David made the city as
capital of his kingdom. Then the Israelites decided to call it the City of
David. Solomon is the son of David. He became the king when David was an old
man and gave up the throne. Solomon made a temple in Jerusalem and ruled with
many skills like diplomacy. Solomon’s temple became a special center for Hebrew
worship. Using the temple, people offered sacrifices of animals, fruit or grain
in order to honor “God.” Jerusalem was an important city because for many
people, some of the religions for many different people originated there. The Hebrews
didn’t enjoy when the philistines threatened Canaan. Apart from the Israelites
the Hebrews thought that having a single king was a bad idea, they decided God
is ruling the people. Their army of the Hebrew People helped defeat the
philistines during the war with them and captured Jerusalem. Some of the
Hebrews decided to try worshiping more than one "God," but that brought
the Hebrew people trouble. The Hebrews were warned that they might be forced to
leave their land. They ignored such warning, which led to another group of
people, called the Assyrians, to appear and cause problems. The Assyrians have
destroyed the kingdom of the Israelites. Other people like another king named
Nebuchadnezzar, also attacked Jerusalem and caused other problems. Some people
were captured and taken to a place called Babylon. Some of the Hebrews who
stayed in Jerusalem tried to rebel against Nebuchadnezzar. This lead to more
attacks, and later, a siege for Jerusalem. Nebuchadnezzar sent his people, the Babylonians
after Jerusalem. The interaction between the Hebrews and Babylonians was not
very friendly. Many of the Israelites ended up being slaves in Babylon and
spent a long time in captivity. Overall, there was no friendly interaction
between the Hebrews, Assyrians, and Babylonians, as there was nothing but
fighting, war, and captivity.
B & D are the correct answers :-)
French Revolution (French: Révolution française French pronunciation: [ʁevɔlysjɔ̃ fʁɑ̃sɛːz]) was a period of far-reaching social and political upheaval in France and its colonies beginning in 1789. The Revolution overthrew the monarchy, established a republic, catalyzed violent periods of political turmoil, and finally culminated in a dictatorship under Napoleon who brought many of its principles to areas he conquered in Western Europe and beyond. Inspired by liberal and radical ideas, the Revolution profoundly altered the course of modern history, triggering the global decline of absolute monarchies while replacing them with republics and liberal democracies.[1] Through the Revolutionary Wars, it unleashed a wave of global conflicts that extended from the Caribbean to the Middle East. Historians widely regard the Revolution as one of the most important events in human history.[2][3][4]

The causes of the French Revolution are complex and are still debated among historians. Following the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution,[5] the French government was deeply in debt. It attempted to restore its financial status through unpopular taxation schemes, which were heavily regressive. Leading up to the Revolution, years of bad harvests worsened by deregulationof the grain industry also inflamed popular resentment of the privileges enjoyed by the aristocracy and the Catholic clergy of the established church. Some historians hold something similar to what Thomas Jefferson proclaimed: that France had "been awakened by our [American] Revolution."[6]Demands for change were formulated in terms of Enlightenment ideals and contributed to the convocation of the Estates General in May 1789. During the first year of the Revolution, members of the Third Estate (commoners) took control, the Bastille was attacked in July, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen was passed in August, and a group of women marched on Versailles that forced the royal court back to Paris in October. A central event of the first stage, in August 1789, was the abolition of feudalism and the old rules and privileges left over from the Ancien Régime.
The next few years featured political struggles between various liberal assemblies and right-wing supporters of the monarchy intent on thwarting major reforms. The Republic was proclaimed in September 1792 after the French victory at Valmy. In a momentous event that led to international condemnation, Louis XVI was executed in January 1793.
