It was the Mexican-American war <span>that brought about the need or desire to begin an expansionist policy with regard to foreign affairs, since the end of this war ceded a lot of new territory that was used by settlers moving west.</span>
The Catholic Church did NOT like the Reformation. And they did many things to try and stop it.. but most deemed unsuccessful, the reasons being. Well first off all humans are like little kids.. when you tell them not to do something.. you wanna do it. Second people REALLY believed in the Reformation and the people who led it. (there are more if you need)
The United States and Japan or Russia
The south winning would be a <em>huge</em> issue in itself, and if they continued to use slaves when the Industrial Revolution came around, there wouldn't be a need for slaves, and the vast expansion of the slave trade would shrink by a lot- as the US wouldn't need them.
Here's the problem:
If we're going into counterfactual history, we have to keep a lot of things in mind.
Was the Industrial Revolution sparked because there were no more slaves? If they still had slaves, would it not have been necessary to obtain and invent machines?
Would we be the United States? Would be have gone at war again from the North still being against slavery? Keep these things in mind.
Hopefully this helped!
The answer to this question is Tommy Smith and John Carlos
