France, England, and other countries made several attempts to colonize New England early in the 17th century, and those nations were often in contention for lands in the New World. French nobleman Pierre Dugua Sieur de Monts established a settlement on Saint Croix Island, Maine in June 1604 under the authority of the King of France. The small St. Croix River Island is located on the northern boundary of present-day Maine. Nearly half the settlers perished due to the harsh winter and scurvy, and the survivors moved north out of New England to Port-Royal of Nova Scotia (see symbol "R" on map to the right) in the spring of 1605.

King James I of England recognized the need for a permanent settlement in New England, and he granted competing royal charters to the Plymouth Company and the London Company. The Plymouth Company ships arrived at the mouth of the Kennebec River (then called the Sagadahoc River) in August 1607 where they established a settlement named Sagadahoc Colony, better known as Popham Colony (see symbol "Po" on map to right) to honor financial backer Sir John Popham. The colonists faced a harsh winter, the loss of supplies following a storehouse fire, and mixed relations with the indigenous tribes.

Colony leader Captain George Popham died, and Raleigh Gilbert decided to return to England to take up an inheritance left by the death of an older brother—at which point, all of the colonists decided to return to England. It was around August 1608 when they left on the ship Mary and John and a new ship built by the colony named Virginia of Sagadahoc. The 30-ton Virginia was the first sea-going ship ever built in North America.

Conflict over land rights continued through the early 17th century, with the French constructing Fort Pentagouet near present-day Castine, Maine in 1613. The fort protected a trading post and a fishing station and was considered the first longer-term settlement in New England. It changed hands multiple times throughout the 17th century among the English, French, and Dutch colonists.

The best answer is, A. The United States' interests in Latin America have often led to intervention.

For decades the United States has pursued a foreign policy agenda of democracy building, this is especially present in developing countries such as those in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. When the United States has been unsuccessful in influencing the political structure to its benefit through diplomatic means it often turns to military and revolutionary means. The headlines reinforce this foreign policy agenda which has played out in many Latin American countries.

What makes the Cold War different from an active military conflict?

strojnjashka [21]

1) c. Countries battle using threats, brinkmanship, & detente

2) d. To prevent those in East Berlin from escaping

Explanation:

The Cold War was not a real war in the sense that it was not battled using weapons, and there was no real fights. Instead, it was a war made by threats, brinkmanship, detente...

The term "Cold War" refers to a long period, spanning more or less from 1947 to 1991, characterized by a strong tension between the United States and the Soviet Union.

The Cold War basically started after World War II. After the victory against the Nazi German, the two superpowers (USA and URSS) started a "long-distance" competition in many fields, such as the supremacy in the development of the nuclear arsenal, the space race, development of technology, etc.

The battle between the two superpowers was also a battle between two opposite ideologies: on one side (the USA), the liberal-democratic; on the other side (the URSS), the communism.

The period associated with the Cold War was characterized by moments of escalation of the tension, such as during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, in which the possibility of a real World War III becomes real. Also, the Cold War was characterized by several wars in which the two superpowers did not actually fight each other, but they supported opposited factions figthing in the same country (for instance: Korean War, 1950-1953; Vietnam War, 1960s-1970s).

The Cold War ended in 1990-1991, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the aftermath of the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

The Berlin Wall was a wall built in 1961 to separate East Berlin (controlled by the Soviet Union) from the West Berlin (controlled by the USA).

In fact, after the Allied win in World War II, Germany was split into two parts, assigned to the two main superpowers: the GDR (German Democratic Republic), also called East Germany, controlled by the Soviet Union; and the FRG (Federal Republic of Germany), also called West Germany, controlled by the USA.

The two parts of Germany were characterized by opposite styles of life, politics, ideologies, etc.

The East Germany was a communist country, following the ideology of the Soviet Union. On the other hand, the West Germany was a capitalist country, following the same path of Western countries.

The condition of life in East Germany became bad year after year after the war, so many people started to escape the country to migrate to West Germany. As a result, the authorities of East Germany decided, on 13 August 1961, to build a long wall separating the two parts, to prevent people to migrate on the other side. The Wall separated also Berlin in two parts, therefore it was called Berlin Wall.

The Wall finally collapsed on 9 November, 1989, and that event also marked the collapse of the Soviet Union.
