A department that is traditionally focused on domestic issues could become involved in foreign policy-making because of two main reasons:
- It can regulate a good or service given internationally. For example, it can be clothes or technological devices.
- Foreign policy-making (or foreign relations), also regulates behavior that could have an international consequence. For example, it could be a business that contaminates the environment.
The Columbian Exchange had positive and negative consequences.
Some of the positive consequences were the introduction of different nutrients and food supplies into the Old World, such as corn or potatoes. This improved the diet of most Europeans, leading to a population growth in the next generations.
However, Europe benefited more than the Americas, for some of the negative consequences about the Columbian Exchange were the introduction of diseases into the continent and the slavery of African populations into the Americas.
The correct answer is D. unfamiliar with the geography and terrain.
The Continental Army, lead by George Washington, squared off with the British army during the American Revolution. During this time, the colonists were extremely unorganized, had little supplies, and was staffed by thousands of volunteers.
However the Continental Army did have an advantage in knowing the geography/climate. Considering the volunteer soldiers for the Continental Army lived in the 13 colonies (where the fighting took place) the geography and terrain was very familiar to them.
