Answer: 3. Lend-Lease Act
Explanation:
FDR had campaigned under a slogan saying that he would keep the United States out of the war and so the United States was neutral during the first years of the second World War even though they were still strongly pro-British.
In order to preserve that neutrality whilst still supporting the British and other allies, Congress signed the Lend-Lease act which allowed the U.S. to lend or lease supplies to Britain and her allies throughout the war. This was vital in stopping the German advance and winning the war.
The Songhai Empire (also transliterated as Songhay) was a state that dominated the western Sahel in the 15th and 16th century. At its peak, it was one of the largest states in African history. The state is known by its historiographical name, derived from its leading ethnic group and ruling elite, the Songhai. Sonni Ali established Gao
as the capital of the empire, although a Songhai state had existed in
and around Gao since the 11th century. Other important cities in the
empire were Timbuktu and Djenné, conquered in 1468 and 1475 respectively, where urban-centered trade flourished. Initially, the empire was ruled by the Sonni dynasty (c. 1464–1493), but it was later replaced by the Askiya dynasty (1493–1591).
Answer:
Cuando Cristóbal Colón tocó tierra tras su travesía del Atlántico, en 1492, no imaginaba todavía que cambiaría el curso de la historia para siempre.
Tampoco pensaría que de allí a pocos años desencadenaría una lucha entre las dos mayores potencias económicas y militares de la época, España y Portugal, por hacerse con las riquezas de ese territorio aún desconocido para los europeos.
Dos años después, los Reyes Católicos, Isabel y Fernando, y el de Portugal, Juan II, llegaron a un compromiso y firmaron en Tordesillas (entonces Reino de Castilla) un pacto para repartirse las tierras "descubiertas y por descubrir" fuera de Europa.
