Bartolomeu Dias was the first European to round the southern tip of Africa. He named it Cape of Storms, but King John later renamed it Cape of Good Hope.
The correct answer is Lusitania.
<em>The United States was drawn into World War with because of Germany’s invasion, the sinking of the Lusitania and the Zimmerman's note.
</em>
On May 7, 1915, the German Army sank the RS Lusitania, as part of the hostilities during World War I. The sinking was part of the German attack to the British submarine because the British established a naval blockage to the navy of Germany. This action, the German invasion and the Zimmerman's note, where the Germans promised help to Mexico, were the reasons why the United State entered World War I.
Answer:
In my opinion Columbus did discover the west indies because the definition it states "Discover means to find (something or someone) unexpectedly or in the course of a search." never in the definition does it mention in order to "discover" something you have to be the first one to find it or be the first one to come across such and such. I see why some people might disagree but if it were in terms of if Columbus founded the west indies I would have a completely different opinion because there were people their before he was "there were already people living there. The Taino and Carib were the largest groups in the region when Columbus arrived in 1493. ..." The definition of founded is "establish or originate (an institution or organization), especially by providing an endowment." which would confirm he ONLY discovered and didn't found the west indies when both definitions are juxtaposed this is made clear.
Explanation:
Andrew Jackson started the "Bank War" over the rechartering of the Second Bank of the United States. Proponents of the bank said that it encouraged westward expansion, expanded international commerce using credit, and helped reduce the government's debt. Jackson, on the other hand, was heavily against the BUS, calling it a danger to the liberties of the people. A champion for the rights of the common man, he advocated to protect the farmers and laborers. He claimed that the bank was owned by a small group of upperclass men, who only became richer by pocketing the money paid by the poorer common man for loans.
Jackson argued against the constitutionality of the BUS that was upheld about fourteen years before, during the 1819 McCulloch v. Maryland case. One of the points of the unanimous decision in that case stated that Congress had the power to establish the bank. Jackson, however, said that McCulloch v. Maryland could not prevent him from declaring a presidential veto on the bank if he believed it unconstitutional. He said that the decision in that 1819 case “ought not to control the coordinate authorities of this Government. The Congress, the Executive, and the Court must each for itself be guided by its own opinion of the Constitution," meaning that the 1819 decision could not control his interpretation of the Constitution or prevent him from doing what he thought was right. This point of view earned him the nickname "King Andrew I" from his critics, who saw his use of the veto and his attempted intrusion on congressional power as power-hungry behavior. In the end, Jackson was successful in challenging the bank, as its charter expired in 1836. He had successfully killed the "monster" that was the Bank of the United States.
