A) Thirty years war
he Thirty Years' War was a war fought primarily in Central Europe. One of the most destructive conflicts in human history, it resulted in eight million fatalities not only from military engagements but also from violence, famine, and plague. Casualties were overwhelmingly and disproportionately inhabitants of the Holy Roman Empire, most of the rest being battle deaths from various foreign armies.
Spanish colonists began to rely more heavily on the Atlantic slave trade by the mid-1500s because they started massive construction products for which they needed a lot of free labor force, they also started trading with slaves and wanted to gain a lot of profit from it.
The United States chose to use a federal republic model (E) when they were writing the Constitution to frame the construction of the U.S Government.
As a federal republic power is shared between the central government and federal entities which in the case of the U.S. are states. This created a federal system whereby powers were divided between states and the national government and also a republic whereby citizens would elect representatives to represent their interests.
