One key similarity would be that they all started off as colonial powers ruled by larger power in Europe. Most of these nations gained independence through revolution as well, while a smaller amount gained it by the European state giving the colony independence (canada, Jamaica), Cuba was also technically both (revolution against spanish to be ruled by America, given Independence by America). A big difference is that most of North america was ruled by the British and the French, while South and Central America were settled predominantly by the Spanish and Portuguese. This resulted in huge differences in culture, including language (English/french vs Spanish/Portuguese) and religion (Protestantism vs Catholicism).

Answer:
D. They closed the Boston Harbor and limited (but did not withdraw) the colony's right to govern itself
Explanation:
On May 10, 1773, the British Parliament passed the <u>Tea Act</u>. This act allowed British companies to ship tea to the colonies without duties, but the colonists still had to pay a tax on tea.
They were outraged at this display of "taxation without representation", so they tried to boycott the tea and force the ships to return to Britain. This didn't work, so they moved onto their next plan: <u>The Boston Tea Party.</u> On December 10, 1773, a group known as the Sons of Liberty disguised themselves and boarded the ship. They threw thousands of pounds of British tea into the Boston Harbor.
The British found out and they were angry and shocked. They realized the colonies were out of control, so they passed the <u>Coercive/Intolerable Acts.</u> These:
- Closed the Boston Harbor
- Placed the colony under direct British control
- Prevented trials of British officials from occurring in the colonies
- Required British soldiers to be quartered at the colonists' expense
The correct answer is D. They closed the Boston Harbor and limited (but did not withdraw) the colony's right to govern itself. The colony had some power, but it was extremely limited.
Car accelerates whenever its velocity is changed by either changing the speed or the direction of the car's motion. So, even if you are driving your car at a constant speed while turning around a corner, you are still accelerating.
Probably the Republican Party. Ever since the party switch, the republicans have advocated for a better financial stance for the US.
Hope this helps!
