Answer:  a. it suggested that the soviet union might have the capability to launch missiles at American cities.

Context: The Sputnik satellite was sent into orbit by the USSR on October 4, 1957.  The Soviets announced its mission as a scientific one, to study the solar system.  In the Cold War atmosphere, of course, Americans were wary of what other motives the USSR might have had.  The Soviets launched Sputnik 2 in November, 1957, with a dog on board.  The USA scrambled to get its own satellite program operational, launching the first US satellite, Explorer, on January 1, 1958.

Match the participants of the French and Indian War with the territories they lost or gained after the Treaty of Paris of 1763.
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Britain --- won territory and expanded empire

France --- lost territory and influence

Spain --- gained territory but did not settle it

American colonies --- gained territory and sense of unity

American Indians --- could not keep promised territory

Explanation:

The French and Indian War was a military conflict developed between 1754 and 1763 in North America, between Britain and France, for control of the territories adjacent to the Great Lakes.

During this conflict, the French were aided by Native Americans and, to a lesser extent, by the Spanish. In turn, the bulk of the British combatants were American settlers.

The end result of this war was the total annexation of the French colonies in America by Great Britain, as well as the secession of Louisiana to Spain by France.

For the Americans, this war meant the creation of a strong and unifying national identity, while for the Native Americans it meant a great loss of power in their ancestral territories.
