Answer:

The state that can lay claim to the first oil rush in 1859 is Pennsylvania.

Explanation:

In 1859, for the first time, abundant oil flowed from the Edwin L. Drake extraction tower. Word spread, and Pennsylvania went crazy: in a hurry, from every corner of the United States, fortune hunters went in search of black gold. With that fever, the oil industry was born.

It was in the lands of Hibbard Farm, located in Titusville (Pennsylvania), where the first profitable oil well appeared in history. Edwin L. Drake had been looking underground for a long time. He knew that if he found the right site and technique, the benefits of extracting oil in large quantities would be millionaires.

And he did. On August 27, 1859, 23 meters deep, the precious liquid finally began to sprout. With the help of a bomb, Drake's men began the extraction: the first day they filled 25 barrels. Soon, no investor wanted to run out of land in the vicinity of Titusville, starting the 1859 oil rush.

I don't know what "this" means here - but Spain, England and Portugal based their empires on their sea explorations and colonizations - all their colonies were not reachable (or only by de-tours) by land.

China, on the other hand was not based on Islands, but connected by land: so here China is the best option.

The introduction of European diseases to American Indians was an accident that no one expected. Neither the colonists nor the Indians had a good understanding of why this affected the Native people so badly.

The great impact of disease on the Native population of America is an important part of the story of European exploration. Experts believe that as much as 90 percent of the American Indian population may have died from illnesses introduced to America by Europeans. This means that only one in ten Natives survived this hidden enemy. Their descendants are the 2.5 million Indians who live in the United States today.

New trade goods represented another big change that European explorers and colonists brought to American Indians. Soon after meeting their European visitors, Indians became very interested in things that the colonists could provide. In a short time, the Indians began using these new materials and products in their everyday lives. Native hunters were eager to trade prepared deer hides and other pelts for lengths of colored cloth. Metal tools such as axes and knives became valuable new resources. Soon American Indian men put aside their bows and arrows for European firearms, powder, and lead shot.

Another big change connected to this new trade was slavery. Europeans needed workers to help build houses and clear fields. They soon realized that they could offer trade goods like tools and weapons to certain American Indian tribes that would bring them other Indians captured in tribal wars. These captured Indians were bought and sold as slaves.
