Answer I would suggest:  POISON GASES  (chemical weapons)

The three gases that caused the most chemical weapons injuries and deaths during World War I were:

  • Chlorine gas - which strongly affects eyes, nose, throat and lungs. If hit with a high enough dose, a person could die of asphyxiation.
  • Phosgene - much more deadly than chlorine gas, and also colorless and odorless, so victims wouldn't know they were affected till it was too late.  After being exposed, victims lungs would start to fill with fluid and they would slowly suffocate over a couple days' time.
  • Mustard gas - which would cause blistering of the skin and extreme irritation to the eyes.  Mustard gas caused the highest amount of injury casualties from chemical weapons in World War I by the effects it caused, even if it did not directly kill many.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

When the first Continental Congress met on 5th September, 1784 at Philadelphia, the primary aim was to organize a colonial protest against British Crown's Coercive Acts.

Twelve out of the thirteen American colonies sent delegates to discuss the Declaration of Rights while affirming their loyalty to the Crown if their demands were achieved.

Therefore, it is not true that most colonies were ready to declare

independence from Great Britain when the First Continental Congress met.

Whats the effect of land grants given to the railroads
inessss [21]
Here are a few!! 1. Land grants given to the railroads: The railroads sold some of their land to farmers, thus helping to increase the amount of farming in the West. Also, since the railroads passed through many farming communities, the goods grown on the farms could more easily be sold & shipped to states across the country.

2. The Homestead Act and related laws passed in the 1870s: In 1862 congress passed the Homestead Act, which offered up 160 acres of free land to any citizen who was head of the household. Around 600,000 people took the government up on this offer, which greatly increased Western expansion.

3. Inventions and improvements in farm technology: In 1837 John Deere invented a plow that could slice through heavy soil. In 1847 Cyrus McCormick began to mass-produce a reaping machine. Other inventions included the spring-tooth harrow to prepare the soil, the grain drill to plant the seed, barbed wire to fence the land, and a corn binder. These inventions sped up the farming process and greatly increased the profits of farmers.

4. The Morrill Land Grant Acts and Hatch Act: The Morril Act gave federal land to the states to help finance agricultural colleges, and the Hatch Act established agricultural experiment stations to inform farmers of new developments. Through these experiment stations researchers developed new and innovative ways of farming that helped the dry eastern plains flourish and become the "breadbasket" of the nation.
