1 answer:

8 0

Texas, Oregon and Maine were some of the territories in the United States that were populated after the expansion to the West began. This expansion was a very important process in the history of the country, and it transformed the way Americans lived.

There were many motives for this expansion. One of the most important ones was the desire to find more land. As the population of the country expanded, more families wanted to buy land. However, prices in already established states were high, and finding land in the West was a cheaper alternative.

Another reason was the sense of adventure. Many people wanted to travel West to see what the area had to offer in terms of natural beauty as well as culture. They also liked the idea of going to areas where few people had been before.

Finally, another reason for expanding to these areas was to profit from the natural resources these areas offered. Many businessmen made their fortune by profiting from the resources of these regions during the expansion to the West.

What is the basic belief of the islamic religion

Andru [333]

The basic belief of the Islamic religion is that its faith centered around in one God, Allah (belief in Allah as the one and only God). It is a monotheistic faith. Its history relates back to the patriarch Abraham, and to the first prophet, Adam. The last in the series of prophets that preached the same universal message of belief in one God and kindness to humanity, according to Muslims, was Muhammad (is the final prophet). He was not happy because of superstitions and social/economic injustice. The people were worshipping many gods and had forgotten the message of prophet Abraham (to worship one God). His main message is that there was no other God but Allah and that people should lead their lives in a way that was pleasing to Allah.

Allah is the Arabic word for God.
