Explanation:

The Europeans competed to increase wealth and power by expanding empires to America, they decided to go to Jamestown, Virginia (home to the ruins of the first permanent English settlement in North America.)

When the settlers arrived Jamestown was located on a narrow peninsula bordered on three sides, which later changed location to an island in the James River.

The reason as to why they chose a location near water, was because the location could be easily defended from attacks by sea, the water along the shore was deep enough for ships to dock, and because they had a good supply of freshwater.

Why did many Americans decide that the country needed new leadership in 1932?
pentagon [3]
In 1932, America suffered greatly during the Great Depression. The President at the time, Herbert Hoover, promised many reforms and improvements that would help everyone get back onto their feet. Those promises were broken as Hoover did little to pull America out of the Depression. As a result, Hoover wasn't really well liked, during and after the depression. When the elections of 1932 came around, Hoover decided to run again, but Americans went and voted for Roosevelt, who actually did something to help during the depression.
