Answer:
The Seven Years' War was a conflict between France and Great Britain that took place between 1756 and 1763, and faced both European powers and their allies in various territories, including North America.
In North America, both nations had colonies of considerable importance: France had the colony of New France in what is now Quebec, Canada; while Great Britain had its Thirteen Colonies on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. The two nations were vying for control of the Great Lakes. Thus, when the war broke out, the colonies of both countries faced each other over the disputed territories, ending with the British victory and the cession by France of all the territories of it on the continent.
Even so, the population of Quebec continued to maintain its customs (its Latin culture, its Catholic religion against British Anglicanism and, fundamentally, its French language). This situation was maintained over the years, and today it is possible to observe in Canada a bilingualism at the national level, with the French language being predominant in the province of Quebec, and the English language in the rest of the country.
The banknote (also known as paper money or note) was one of them. Marco Polo was particularly surprised when he first encountered it. Banknotes were not made out of paper, but out of the bark of the mulberry tree. Other products or inventions included the compass, the gunpowder and the printing.
Explanation:
Here's a (very) brief summary of the fall of the Aztec empire, after the arrival of Hernando Cortes until the fall of Tenochtitlán (read a biography of Hernan Cortez here):
1519 (March 4): The Spaniards land in what is now Veracruz. The natives greet him with gifts. A contingent from Tenochtitlán also arrives with gifts. Cortes showed force and demonstrated his canons, terrifying the messengers.
Cortes sinks all the ships except one small vessel, and moves to the city-state of Tlaxcala. Generally speaking they begin on friendly terms.
The Spanish went on to Cholula. It's unclear what happened, but in the end many people in the city were killed by the Spanish. Read more about Cholula here.
1519 (Nov 8): Cortes and army arrives at Tenochtitlán, and begin on good terms. However, Cortes takes charge and demands tribute and some Roman Catholic shrines to replace the Aztec gods.
Cortes returns to the coast to defeat a rival Spanish army. The remaining soldiers join him.
The Aztecs revolt, driving the Spanish from the city. Cuitláhuac becomes emperor.
The Spanish go to Tlaxcala and make an alliance with them.
Most Aztec cities are conquered, and a siege of Tenochtitlán begins.
1521 (13 August): The last Aztec emperor, Cuauhtémoc, surrenders to Cortes.
The correct answer is A) building shelters.
The pioneers’ first priority was building shelters.
Life was difficult for pioneers who decided to leave their former lands and travel to the west in the time if US history called "the westward expansion." The Oregon Trail was also a difficult road to cross. Many people could complete it. Hunger was a major issue.
Pioneers had to build their shelters to endure climate conditions, clear the land for farming. However, the opportunity to have their own portion of land motivated many farjmers, former slaves, and immigrants.
