The case of Baker v. Carr from 1962 is an important case that majorly influenced redistricting. Redistricting means changing the way the voting districts are delineated and after this case the court could decide about redistricting cases. This allowed for voting districts to be redrawn under the guidance of the federal courts.
At the end of the French and Indian War the British government signed treaties with the Indians in the Ohio territory to restrict the American colonists from moving into there land. The American colonists ignored this British treaty, and started settling in the Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee areas. The British government, unlike the American government in the following century (which very seldom honored the treaties they signed with the Western tribes), tried to honor their treaties with he Indians and keep the Americans out. This brought the Americans and British into confrontation and was one of the main factors that led to the Revolution.
The major causes of World War II were numerous. They include the impact of the Treaty of Versailles following WWI, the worldwide economic depression, failure of appeasement, the rise of militarism in Germany and Japan, and the failure of the League of Nations.
