Discovery of America is called the historical event of October 12, 1492, consisting of the arrival in America of an expedition led by Christopher Columbus by order of the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon. Columbus had left the Port of Palos two months and nine days before and, after crossing the Atlantic Ocean, he arrived at an island in the American continent, Guanahani, believing that he had arrived in India. This fact is one of the fundamental moments of universal history and represents the meeting of two worlds that had evolved independently from the settlement of America.

This event marked a before and after in universal history, this event marked European and American history in the same way.

The Spaniards first and then the Portuguese and French English, were given the task of discovering what the new world had. In the process of colonization a cultural clash could be seen between the aborigines and the Europeans. From this relationship, the Europeans were the most benefited, since they expanded their language, their culture and in some cases imposed their religion. In this way they created an empire to suit them.

Correct answer: C. The 2001 terrorist attacks in New York.

Details:

The Homeland Security Act, which created the Department of Homeland Security, was passed in 2002, following the September 11, 2001 attacks by terrorists against the United States, which involved hijacking planes and flying them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The Department of Homeland Security describes its mission as ensuring "a homeland that is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards."

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Title I, Section 101), listed the top three priorities of the Department of Homeland Security as:

(A) prevent terrorist attacks within the United States;
(B) reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism;
(C) minimize the damage, and assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks that do occur within the United States;

Also listed as part of Homeland Security's mission is that it will "monitor connections between illegal drug trafficking and terrorism, coordinate efforts to sever such connections, and otherwise contribute to efforts to interdict illegal drug trafficking."

The Department of Homeland Security also acts "as a focal point regarding natural and manmade crises and emergency planning," and works to coordinate efforts between various agencies and law enforcement agencies in order to achieve its security goals. According to the Department of Homeland Security's own website, the Department of Homeland Security combines "22 different federal departments and agencies into a unified, integrated Cabinet agency."

Note:

Another act passed after the 9-11 attacks, aimed at combating terrorism by whatever means deemed necessary for national security, was the PATRIOT Act. The full name of the act was the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.
