Answer:
The Iroquois sought to expand their territory and take control of the role of middleman in the fur trade between the French and the tribes of the west.
C - definitely not the case, it's very common in Mali
B - also not the case, it's not very common but it's not "unheard of"
As for A and D, it's problematic.
A - hm, this is also not really true, it would be better to call it that it's more common in the east and West and less common in the center
D- In Nigeria 25% of women undergo it, and it also recently banned it - it's not little and it's not "uncommon" but it's less than in other contries in teh region.
so both A and D are partially true, partially false, but I think that A is better than D because the some of the countries where FMG is most present, Mali and Egypt, are in the north and the southern counties have it less.
The church played a very important role because it was "all around" in medieval times. On the level of almost every village there was a church and a priest which helped spread the word of the christian god. Through this, almost every person down to a villager somewhere in a village in Europe was able to come to church where people gathered on Sundays and hear new information and educate himself on various things related to faith and religion.
