3. Explain three examples of similarities between the American and Latin American revolutions and three

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Three similarities:

Lack of representation was a motivating factor for the revolutions in both regions. Neither the Latin American colonists nor the American colonists had seats in the parliaments of the European colonial powers they belonged to.
None of the revolutions were peaceful, all the colonies had to wage war against their colonial masters. Mexico and Perú, the two most important Spanish colonies, underwent particularly bloody wars.
Fiscal difficulties helped bring about the revolutions: England was almost bankrupt because of the French-Indian War, and raised taxes on the American colonies, which angered the American leaders, and Spain was conquered by Napoleon, who raised taxes on the Latin American colonies.

Three differences:

The American revolution occurred decades earlier. The United States became an independent nation in 1776. By 1820, 44 years later, over half of Latin American colonies were still fighting for independence.
The American revolution did not have any direct historic event as inspiration, because of how early it came about, meanwhile, the Latin American revolutions were greatly inspired by both the American revolution and the French revolution.
The American revolution led to the formation of a federal state, most of the Latin American revolutions resulted in the formation of centralized states inspired by the French style of administration.

Which of the following could be a reason why humans know very little about time prior to the ancient era? A. The written records

ratelena [41]

The correct answer is B) No historians have written about the era that preceded the ancient era.

The option that could be a reason why humans know very little about the time before the ancient era is that no historians have written about the era that preceded the ancient era.

We are referring to what is cold prehistory, the time where events occurred before the existence of written records. Historians write what they can research or interpret written records from the past such as the clay tablets of Sumer-Mesopotamia or the Egyptians glyphs due to the Rosetta Stone. But without written records, all is speculation, that is why humans know so little about prehistory.
