Answer:
Option: Building a timeline of English, French, and Spanish colonies in North America.
Explanation:
Before the arrival of European, America was inhabitant by the Native population. After Columbus arrival in 1492, many European powers began to arrive to acquire wealth and land for the crown. Many colonies established for settlers in America.
The decline of the Native population in the United States from the 15th to 17th centuries varies. The Native population began to decline as there was frequent conflict related to the confiscated of the land by the colonists. Many Natives died after coming into contact with Europeans because of the diseases which they were not immune. Disease like smallpox, cholera, malaria, chickenpox, measles, scarlet fever killed thousands of people. The superior weapons like guns and gunpowder helped win battles against the Native Americans.
On this day in 1795, President George Washington signs the Jay (or “Jay’s”) Treaty with Great Britain.
This treaty, known officially as the “Treaty of Amity Commerce and Navigation, between His Britannic Majesty; and The United States of America” attempted to diffuse the tensions between England and the United States that had risen to renewed heights since the end of the Revolutionary War. The U.S. government objected to English military posts along America’s northern and western borders and Britain’s violation of American neutrality in 1794 when the Royal Navy seized American ships in the West Indies during England’s war with France. The treaty, written and negotiated by Supreme Court Chief Justice (and Washington appointee) John Jay, was signed by Britain’s King George III on November 19, 1794 in London. However, after Jay returned home with news of the treaty’s signing, Washington, now in his second term, encountered fierce Congressional opposition to the treaty; by 1795, its ratification was uncertain.
Leading the opposition to the treaty were two future presidents: Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. At the time, Jefferson was in between political positions: he had just completed a term as Washington’s secretary of state from 1789 to 1793 and had not yet become John Adams’ vice president. Fellow Virginian James Madison was a member of the House of Representatives. Jefferson, Madison and other opponents feared the treaty gave too many concessions to the British. They argued that Jay’s negotiations actually weakened American trade rights and complained that it committed the U.S. to paying pre-revolutionary debts to English merchants. Washington himself was not completely satisfied with the treaty, but considered preventing another war with America’s former colonial master a priority.
Ultimately, the treaty was approved by Congress on August 14, 1795, with exactly the two-thirds majority it needed to pass; Washington signed the treaty four days later. Washington and Jay may have won the legislative battle and averted war temporarily, but the conflict at home highlighted a deepening division between those of different political ideologies in Washington, D.C. Jefferson and Madison mistrusted Washington’s attachment to maintaining friendly relations with England over revolutionary France, who would have welcomed the U.S. as a partner in an expanded war against England.

Answer:
To spread Communism
Explanation:
The Cubans were communists, and the main goal of the Soviet Union was to spread communism throughout the world, and although they made the policy of Detente (peaceful coexistence with the US and its allies), their main goal was to replace Communism with Capitalism.
However, there was also another goal. The US had stationed nukes in Turkey, and the Soviets were feeling really threatened. As a result, they wanted a Communist country that they could put nukes in.
