History

MAVERICK [17]3 years ago

The land of Alaska was bought from Russia and the purchase was called Seward's folly as it was thought ridiculous. 

<span>Hawaii was a sovereign nation with its own monarchy but populated by Americans, particularly the pineapple owners, who wanted to be a part of America to avoid various import taxes etc. They forced the then king to sign, at gunpoint, a new constitution which disenfranchised many voters and then used economic and political strength to eventually end the monarchy and make Hawaii a part of the US, both were voted in as states in 1959</span><span />

What was the main reason that Congress passed the Indian Removal Act?
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

<u>The main reason was the dispute over the lands of the Native tribes. </u>

Explanation:

The governments of several states of the United States felt that the presence of the tribes was a threat to peace and security, because many Native Americans had fought against the United States in previous wars, often armed by foreign nations such as Great Britain and Spain. Other white settlers and land speculators simply wanted the land that was being occupied by the tribes. Therefore, these governments wanted all tribal lands within their borders to be placed under state jurisdiction.

explain which theme,region,and period a historian would focus on to learn about parisian music 100 years ago
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The theme would be French culture, and more specifically, Parisian culture from 100 years ago. In culture, the historian would include not only music, but also paiting, theater, cinema, and so on.

The region would obviously be Paris, but also other regions of France, and even other countries, where Parisian music from the time might have had an influence.

And the period would be the first two or three decades of the XX century, which is the period that led to the development of Parisian music from 100 years ago.
