The two main reasons why the French established colonies in the Americas were the fur trade and the religious conversion.

Explanation:

The French were one of the major imperial powers. With the interest growing about the Americas, and the British and Spanish rushing to establish colonies, the French didn't wanted to risk and fall behind. Lot of expeditions were organized, and lot of settlements were created by the French.

The main reasons why the French established their colonies were the fur trade and the religious conversion. The fur trade was economically very important, as the fur was highly demanded and well paid for. That contributed to very good relations with the natives as well, as they were the main suppliers of the fur. The good relations contributed to easier conversion to Catholicism, which was also going in the best interest of the French.

The French managed to create colonies in:

the central part of the US
western part of Canada
Caribbean
northeastern South America

kkurt [141]

Not immediately after World war 2, but after world war 1 and after the creation of the state of Israel,

Considering the mistake in the question, it is after world war 1, in 1917 and afterwards that, large number of Jews moved to Palestine for the following reasons;

• The Ottoman's who expelled Jews after overtooking the region, had been defeated by the British, which encouraged the refugees to move to heir homeland.

• Britain had made a promise of making a separate nation for Jews, as per the Belfour Declaration of 1917, which gave a hope to the Jews to be free from opression and have their own rule and nation.

From 1920-1923, around 40,000 Jews went to Palestine, and, in 1924-1928 and estimated 80,000 Jews went to Palestine, and in the period 1929-1939, again Palestine had witnessed an immigration of over 300000 Jews.

In 1947 several Jews who were residing around the world moved to the newly formed nation, by the Partition of Palestine into two states one Arab and another Jewish.

How would you have responded to the rising Cold War tension?

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

This is entirely opinionated, but I'll remind you how much tension the Cold War brought. You can answer it either as a citizen or a world leader, I think.

Explanation:

The Cold War brought fear into practically everyone. Everyone was second guessing their friends, families, neighbors, even bosses to being Communist spies. The fear of someone, even in the government, being a spy wreaked havoc in society. Television began broadcasting commercials of what to do if your neighbor is a spy, there were advertisements in the paper, you couldn't go anywhere without being reminded of the Cold War. No Russian was trusted at this time. Not to mention there was the fear of a nuclear attack. There were fallout shelters made in people's homes, schools, and community gathering places. Cartoons were made for children to teach them what they should do if a nuclear warhead were to hit. It was basically Hell.
