Correct answer: Colombia had raised the price for the rights to build the Panama Canal.

Details:

As reported by the Office of the Historian of the United States:  "President Theodore Roosevelt oversaw the realization of a long-term United States goal—a trans-isthmian canal" across the Isthmus of Panama.  With Teddy Roosevelt in the White House, in 1902 the US Senate approved the building of a canal through Panama.  Roosevelt's Secretary of State then went to work to arrange a treaty with Colombia (then in control of the Panama region).  When Colombia ended up rejecting the US's offer because they thought the financial offer too low, President Roosevelt sent US naval warships to support the cause of Panama's independence from Colombia.  After Panama achieved independence (with US support) in 1903, the new country, the Republic of Panama, agreed to treaty terms with the US for the building of the canal.  The Panama Canal was completed in 1914.

geniusboy [140]

Answer: D

An idiom is a funny saying/phrase. It does not serve as any criminal law or  military action. It doesn't mean a foolish person, but it is just an artistic style used in some texts.

Definition of Revolution (mention that revolutions are usually fought in order to gain freedom and peace. 2-3 sentences). Throughout history, there were many revolutions. From 1775 to 1783, there was a conflict between Great Britain and the 13 North American Colonies known as the American Revolutionary War.

Originally called the American War of Independence, the American Revolutionary War started in April 1775, when British soldiers exchanged gunfire at Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts, where many colonists were killed. Described as "the shot heard round the world," it signaled the start of the American Revolution. The colonist were already upset at Great Britain because of the increases in taxes and laws. The colonists wanted there freedom, so in April 19, 1775, the war began.

The reason why the war during the 1770s and 1780s is called the American Revolutionary War is simple. The 13 colonists, later to be known as Americans, sought for their freedom, and rebelled against Britain. They fought back, wanting a revolution in order to make this newly known land (North America) their own. They wanted to govern it without being withheld by Great Brtain. They created the Declaration of Independce and the Bill of Rights because they wanted that, hence the name: the American Revolutionary War.
