"The Sputnik launch changed everything. As a technical achievement, Sputnik caught the world's attention and the American public off-guard. Its size was more impressive than Vanguard's intended 3.5-pound payload. In addition, the public feared that the Soviets' ability to launch satellites also translated into the capability to launch ballistic missiles that could carry nuclear weapons from Europe to the U.S. Then the Soviets struck again; on November 3, Sputnik II was launched, carrying a much heavier payload, including a dog named Laika.
The Sputnik launch also led directly to the creation of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In July 1958, Congress passed the National Aeronautics and Space Act (commonly called the "Space Act"), which created NASA as of October 1, 1958 from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and other government agencies."- https://history.nasa.gov/sputnik/

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The Latin American Wars of Independence were the revolutions that took place during the late 18th and early 19th centuries and resulted in the creation of a number of independent countries in Latin America. These revolutions followed the American and French Revolutions, which had profound effects on the Spanish, Portuguese, and French colonies in the Americas. Haiti, a French slave colony, was the first to follow the United States to independence during the Haitian Revolution, which lasted from 1791 to 1804. From this Napoleon Bonaparte emerged as French ruler, whose armies set out to conquer Europe, including Spain and Portugal, in 1808.

Shkiper50 [21]
FALSE. 

Portugal only had one major colony in the New World, and that was Brazil in South America. 

Spain had colonies in North America, but they focused more on the rest of South America excluding Brazil more. The colonies they had in North America were quickly lost to Mexico and America.

Please help its two questions.
Anastaziya [24]

1) Jackson thinks that the immediate and speedy removal of Native Americans will be advantageous for the United States because it would increase the amount of land controlled by white settlers and allow for possible assimilation of Native Americans into American culture.

2) Jackson thinks that the immediate and speedy removal of Native Americans will be advantageous for Native Americans because it will prevent future conflicts with settlers. During the early-mid 19th century, thousands of white American farmers were encroaching on Native American land in hopes of starting their own farms or plantations. This constantly resulted in violence between these two groups. By moving further west, out of the way of white settlers, there would be less violent conflict for Native Americans.
