Answer:

The devastation of the war led to Wilson's desire to establish the Fourteen Points that Americans were fighting for a moral cause and peace.

Explanation:

One of Wilson's main arguments when asking Congress to enter the war was that he was fighting because it was the moral thing to do, and that the United States was helping spread democracy throughout the world. Here's why the others are wrong, though:

2) is wrong because the United States were not in a disadvantage at all, Germany was, in fact, at the disadvantage

3) is wrong because Congress was not at all uneasy about joining the war, and they were strongly against Wilson's Fourteen Points

4) is wrong because the Fourteen Points have nothing to do with actual warfare, they came about afterwards

Hope this helps!

omeli [17]

Well,
The answer would be the number 3
why? because in the beginning when Ferdinand de Lesseps, a french engineer who built the swiss canal decided to create one in the isthmus of Panama due to its ideal location and width to save a lot of time and money on travels, they brought over from France workers and machines, used to create the swiss canal previously, but due to the clay soil and the tropical conditions they quickly broke, forcing workers to do most of the work manually.
Also, due to the heat and the still water, mosquitoes carrying different diseases like malaria and dengue, swarmed the area biting and infecting the workers, ultimately killing most.
Making them give up the whole project.

Contrast the struggles faced by settlers headed west and the American Indian tribes they met. How did the tribes often harm sett

sattari [20]

Answer: Settlers and tribes both had effects on each other. On many trails headed west, settlers traveled in fear of attack from tribes who would rob or kill members of caravans. Tribes would attack stagecoaches and wagons that traveled across their lands. On the other hand, settlers constantly encroached on tribes’ lands. When settlers drove cattle, built railroads, established trails, and created new settlements, tribes were driven off of their lands. Often, this happened to tribes that had already relocated from other parts of the country to escape settlement. As the two groups fought over land, tribes struggled to get the resources they needed. While both groups profited from each other, both also were harmed by expansion in different ways.

What was the three-fifths compromise?

Finger [1]

Your answer is D. A slave would count as three-fifths of a person when counting population for representation, because this was important, as this population number would then be used to determine the number of seats that the state would have in the United States House of Representatives for the next ten years.
