Answer: Malaria inflicts great casualties and affects entire army's indiscriminately. Soldiers were exposed and vulnerable.

Explanation:

It is believed that Alexander the Great was killed by malaria at the height of his power

Malaria in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Liberia (2001–2003): Many US soldiers in Iraq walked while eating just to avoid being bitten and infected by mosquitoes.

Vietnam War (1962–1975): Malaria felled more combatants during the war than bullets. The disease reduced the combat strength of some units by half. Over 40,000 cases of Malaria were reported in US Army troops alone between 1965 and 70 with 78 deaths. The U.S. Army established a malaria drug research program when U.S. troops first encountered drug resistant malaria during the war

During the American civil war in 1861-1865, malaria accounted for 1,316,000 episodes of illness and 10,000 deaths. It has been estimated that 50% of the white soldiers and 80% of the black soldiers got malaria annually.

nignag [31]
The Renaissance in Italy drew from ancient Greek and Roman artwork in addition to the beauty of Catholicism as foci for art.

By doing this it would allow the country to start expanding in that direction.  It reflects their desire because they ere willing to go through harsh weather and terrain in order to discover new things. The groups journey allowed the United States government to start embracing Manifest Destiny throughout the entirety of the 19th century. This expedition started to lay down the groundwork for the Oregon trail and really westward expansion of the United States. Unfortunately it did have a large impact on the Native Americas. As the US moved westwards the the Natives were either forced to move as well or collect in small areas allowing the US to spread around them. Just some things to talk about. Good Luck!!!
