Answer:Nicholas Copernicus, a Polish scientist living about a century before Galileo, had already come up with the unorthodox idea that the Sun was at the center of the solar system. Galileo knew about and had accepted Copernicus's heliocentric (Sun-centered) theory.
Explanation:It was Galileo's observations of Venus that proved the theory. Using his telescope, Galileo found that Venus went through phases, just like our Moon. But, the nature of these phases could only be explained by Venus going around the Sun, not the Earth. Galileo concluded that Venus must travel around the Sun, passing at times behind and beyond it, rather than revolving directly around the Earth.
Galileo's observations of the phases of Venus virtually proved that the Earth was not the center of the universe. It was this assertion which most angered the Church leaders of the time.
France played a role in Americans moving West by agreeing to the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The Louisiana Purchase was a deal made by the United States and France, and was the exchange of U.S. territory for around $15 million. During this time, the France had owned numerous current states in the United States, but as the States began to grow more rapidly they needed more land. Napoleon, who was the leader of France at this time, declined the first offer for the Louisiana Purchase, but as conflicts in Europe arose, he decided he needed the money and finally agreed. This granted the United States more territories to the West.
