Answer:

Right choice is:

d. American victory in the Spanish-American War.

Explanation:

After defeating Spain in the brief Spanish-American War of 1898, the United States took territories Guam and the Philippines. It also got control of Puerto Rico and Cuba. It is a landmark event that is seen as the advent of  an imperialist foreign policy and a major involvement of the US in world affairs. The deployment of the US Navy in the Caribbean and the Pacific also increased US influence. In the aftermath, the US annexed the Philippines and Guam, and imposed the Platt Amendment on Cuba which included the right to build a naval base. It still exists in Guantanamo Bay. Puerto Rico is today a quasi-state under the status of free associated state.

Witch statement best describes a simularity between the two historians arguments.
makkiz [27]

Option D. The similarity between the two arguments of these persons was that Both try to persuade the reader by only including details that support their arguments.

<h3>What is the argument of Historian A?</h3>

The historian is trying to state the reason that led to the revolution in America. According to him, it was due to the fact that the colonists were greedy.

He attributed it to stubbornness and disobedience to the tax laws of the English people.

<h3>What is the argument of Historian B?</h3>

This historian justified the revolution by blaming the British for the events that led to the revolution.

He put the blame on the British for the heavy tax laws they put on the colonists and for restricting their freedom and their liberty.

Each of these historians added the details that they felt are the best to help sway the opinion of the people reading the excerpts. Hence option D is correct.

<h3>Complete question</h3>

Read the views of two modern-day historians:

Historian A:

The American Revolution was caused by the American colonists' greedy desire for more money. They were simply tired of paying their fair share of taxes to the British government, even though British troops protected the colonies during the French and Indian War! Furthermore, their claims to be fighting for freedom and liberty are totally wrong. Many of the colonists still owned slaves at the time of the Revolution! The traitorous American colonists simply wanted to steal land that was already claimed by Great Britain.

Historian B:The American Revolution was completely justified due to Great Britain's repeated abuse of the colonists. The British passed enormous taxes on goods in the colonies, even though the Americans had no say in the British government. British soldiers were also allowed to live in American houses and eat common people's food without paying. During the Boston Massacre, British soldiers even fired their muskets into a crowd of civilians! Under such oppressive conditions, it's no wonder that the patriotic colonists would want to fight for the freedom and liberty of all people!

Which statement best describes a similarity between the two historians' arguments?

A.Both try to confuse the reader with unrelated details rather than making any strong claims.

B.Neither can be considered a credible source because they did not experience the American Revolution.

C.Neither uses any historical evidence to support his claims about the American Revolution.

D.Both try to persuade the reader by only including details that support their arguments.
