How many Paraguayans were killed in the Triple Alliance War<br> 25%<br> 33%<br> 50%<br> 66%
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The war resulted in the death of more than half of Paraguayan population representing about 66% of the Paraguayan population.

Explanation:

The Triple Alliance War also referred to as the Paraguayan War was the war fought between Paraguay and the three allied forces of South America namely Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay referred to as the Triple Alliance Force.

The war lasted between 1864 to 1870. It was caused majorly as a result of boundary dispute, political tussle and the selfish expansionist ambition of the Paraguayan dictator known as Francisco Solano Lopez. The war had a very calamitous effect on Paraguay, as it led to the decimation and annihilation of about 66% of the Paraguayan population comprising mainly of men.

Hi there I wented to ask you guys if someone can please help me write a 1 paragraph 4 sentences about the debates that happend t
Tomtit [17]

After watching this year's presidential debates, I would say I knew less about the candidates than I knew beforehand. What I saw made me suspect the entire process, "How can we in modern society get along if the two men competing for the most distinguished position of power in the world can't even be civil toward each other." I hope that in future debates, especially the presidential debates, we can find a way to communicate more civilly to strive towards a greater tomorrow.

How did Supreme Court rulings give the federal government greater power ?
jonny [76]
I would know about John Marshall. He was a federalist supreme court chief justice. He gave more power to the government by taking a loose construction of the Constitution. So basically he said, "If it doesnt say we (Fed Gov't) cant do it, then we can)". 
<span>Know about these Court cases </span>
<span>Gibbons V. Ogden </span>
<span>McCullough V. Maryland </span>
<span>Fletcher V. Peck </span>
<span>Cohens V. Virginia </span>
<span>Barron V. Baltimore- this one is hard to find, so basically it just said that because the Bill of Rights was a Federal decision, it didnt apply to the states. </span>
<span>The rest are really easy to find out about, and you could type in John Marshall and it would probably give you all of these. </span>
