History

The answer is that early on the English were looking for a "Northwest Passage". This would be a shorter trade route to East Asia. For a long time it was believed that there was a large body of water in North America that would lead to the Orient. The English were interested in the raw materials that they could find in North America, including the islands of the Caribbean.

What was the political significance of the great compromise and the three-fifths compromise?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The two compromises established a delicate balance between the North and the South.

Under the Compromise, the legislature would be divided in two chambers: the Senate, as the upper house, where every state would have equal representation, and the Congress, the lower house, where seats would be allocated to states proportionally, according to their population. The Three-Fifths Compromise, on the other hand, was the other great compromise agreed during the Constitutional Convention. According to this compromise, three out of every five slaves would be counted as part of the population of each slave state when allocating seats for the Congress.

For the southern states, the Three-Fifths Compromise meant that they were overrepresented. If slaves had not been counted, they'd have been a minority in Congress. However, this balance was very fragile, and the disagreements between the North and South erupted into the Civil War of 1861-65,

Why didn't France and the UK declare war on the Soviet Union when they invaded Poland?
kompoz [17]
"The reason why Britain didn’t declare war on the Soviet Union is an intriguing one. Unknown to the general public there was a ‘secret protocol’ to the 1939 Anglo-Polish treaty that specifically limited the British obligation to protect Poland to ‘aggression’ from Germany" http://www.historyextra.com/qa/why-did-britain-and-france-not-declare-war-soviet-union-when-red-army...

What term refers to people who believe in more than one god? A. theologists B. monotheists C. atheists D. polytheists
Sliva [168]
Atheists are people who believe that there is no god.  So it's not C.
Monotheists are people who believe in 1 god.  Mono means 1. So not B.
A theologist is a person who studies theology.  So not A.
Poly means many, or a lot.  And a polytheist has 2 or more gods.  So D would fit your bill.
