Answer:

Albany was founded by the Netherlands in 1624 as Fort Orange, replacing Fort Nassau that was founded in 1615. It was a trading post where mainly beaver pelts were purchased from the indigenous population. In fact, the city originated in 1647 near the fort; the city was then christened Beverwijck and was the second city of New Netherland after New Amsterdam.

In 1664 the English conquered the area. They renamed the fort as Albany, in honor of the Duke of Albany, later King James II of England. In 1797 Albany became the capital of the state of New York.

Which incident in Somalia caused President Clinton to withdraw U.S. troops from the country?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Actually, the most significant o challenges came on October 3, 1993. Aideed’s forces shot down two Black Hawk helicopters in a battle which lead to the deaths of 18 U.S. soldiers and hundreds of Somalis. The deaths turned the tide of public opinion in the United States. President Bill Clinton pulled U.S. troops out of combat four days later, and all U.S. troops left the country in March 1994. The United Nations withdrew from Somalia in March 1995. Fighting continued in the country.  At the same time the Somalia crisis was unfolding, President Clinton ordered the national security bureaucracy to consider how and when the United States should become involved in peacekeeping operations. The resulting document was Presidential Decision Directive 25, issued on May 3, 1994. The Directive outlined a series of factors which the national security bureaucracy must consider before involving the United States in peacekeeping: eight factors which must be weighed before deciding in favor of peacekeeping in the United Nations, and nine additional factors before becoming involved in a Chapter VII action.
