Answer:

Explanation: The Americans wanted to expand westward because they realized that large amounts of gold lay in this territory, especially in Coloma, in a sawmill called Sutter's Mill. Eager for a change to better life chances, many emigrations were made to that place. The number of emigrants to California was so great that this phenomenon was called The Gold Rush.

The Americans were willing to go to war to secure the West because many of them had settled in Texas, which was part of Mexico, thus beginning the United States-Mexico War, between 1846 and 1848 where it was intended to do expansion by the Americans adopting the doctrine of Manifest Destiny.

What impact did George Eastman’s new film-developing processes have on photography?

Tatiana [17]

After his education in the public schools of Rochester, New York, Eastman worked briefly for an insurance company and a bank. In 1880 he perfected a process of making dry plates for photography and organized the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company for their manufacture. The first Kodak (a name he coined) camera was placed on the market in 1888. It was a simple handheld box camera containing a 100-exposure roll of film that used paper negatives. Consumers sent the entire camera back to the manufacturer for developing, printing, and reloading when the film was used up; the company’s slogan was “You press the button, we do the rest.” In 1889 Eastman introduced roll film on a transparent base, which has remained the standard for film. In 1892 he reorganized the business as the Eastman Kodak Company. Eight years later he introduced the Brownie camera, which was intended for use by children and sold for one dollar. By 1927 Eastman Kodak had a virtual monopoly of the photographic industry in the United States, and it has continued to be one of the largest American companies in its field.
