<span>The task of this conference was to ensure that each European country that claimed possession over a part of Africa must bring civilization, in the form of Christianity, and trade to each region that it would occupy.  Also a country's claim of a territory was valid only if it informed the other European powers and established some occupying force on the ground.  This occupying force was often a few military outposts on the coast and interior waterways with little to no actual settlement.  Specific lands were obtained by having African indigenous rulers sign an “x” to a general agreement for protection by a European power.  Often these rulers had no idea what they were signing since most could not read, write, or understand European languages.</span>

<span>The Partition of Africa began in earnest with the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, and was the cause of most of Africa’s borders today.  This conference was called by German Chancellor Bismarck to settle how European countries would claim colonial land in Africa and to avoid a war among European nations over African territory.  All the major European States were invited to the conference. Germany, France, Great Britain, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, and Spain were all considered to have a future role in the imperial partition of Africa.  The United States was invited because of its interest in Liberia but did not attend because it had no desire to build a colonial empire in Africa.  Also invited were Austria-Hungary, Sweden-Norway, Denmark, Italy, Turkey, and Russia who all were considered minor players in the quest for colonizing Africa, though Italy would claim some colonial possessions in Northeast Africa.  Most notably there were no Africans present at this conference, nor were any Europeans present to ensure that native Africans had any say in the proceedings. - See more at: http://www.blackpast.org/gah/partition-africa#sthash.iHMZNDZ1.dpuf</span>

in,1832 the united states supreme court ruled Worcester v. Georgia that the state of Georgia had no right to force the Cherokee
CaHeK987 [17]
Basically, the decision of the supreme court was not respected by other authorities, specially by the president Andrew Jackson, who felt that on the one hand Georgia does not have to respect this ruling and on the other that the supreme court in any case cannot ensure the enforcement of it.

Specifically, the ruling of the court was that only the national government had the power to decide over Indian affairs, and since that power laid in Jackson's hands, he could allow Georgia to proceed with the removal of Cherokee by stating that he ( in the name of the national government) will not intervene. Instead, Jackson's actions were further adding to the removal of the Cherokee.

Why did Indians in the NW Territory go to war with the US.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: The Northwest Indian War (1785–1795), also known as the Ohio War, Little Turtle's War, and by other names, was a war between the United States (along with its Native Chickasaw and Choctaw allies) and the Western Confederacy (a confederation of numerous other Native American tribes), with support from the British, for control of the Northwest Territory. It followed centuries of conflict over this territory, first among Native American tribes, and then with the added shifting alliances among the tribes and the European powers of France and Great Britain, and their colonials. The United States Army considers it their first of the United States Indian War of the Treaty of Paris, which ended the American Revolutionary War, used the Great Lakes as a border between British territory and that of the United States. Numerous Native American peoples inhabited this region, known to the United States as the Ohio Country and the Illinois Country. Despite the treaty, which ceded the Northwest Territory to the United States, the British kept forts there and continued policies that supported the Native Americans. With the encroachment of European settlers west of the Appalachians after the War, a Huron-led confederacy formed in 1785 to resist usurpation of Indian lands, declaring that lands north and west of the Ohio River were Indian territory. President George Washington directed the United States Army to enforce U.S. sovereignty over the territory. The U.S. Army, consisting mostly of untrained recruits and volunteer militiamen, suffered a series of major defeats, including the Harmar Campaign (1790) and St. Clair's Defeat (1791). About 1,000 soldiers and militiamen were killed and the United States forces suffered many more casualties than their opponents. These defeats are among the worst ever suffered in the history of the US Army.

Answer:

The answer is d. agoraphobia.

Explanation:

Agoraphobia is a constant sense of worry about situations in which it is difficult to escape. The situations themselves might be harmless, but fear is heavily intensified due to anxiety.
