<span>On July 20, 1636, a trader named John Oldham was attacked on a trading voyage to Block Island. He and several of his crew were killed and his ship was looted by Narragansett-allied Indians who sought to discourage English settlers from trading with Pequot rivals. In the weeks that followed, colonial officials from Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, assumed the Narragansett were likely culprits. Puritan officials became equally suspicious of the Narragansett. The colonial English response to Oldham's death, the last in a series of escalating incidents, has traditionally been viewed as the beginning of the Pequot War. SO in he end It was Oldham's death that caused the Pequot War.</span>

What was the Extradition Bill between China and Hong Kong?

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

A bill that allowed Hong Kong to detain and transfer people wanted in other countries with which it has no formal extradition agreements.

Explanation:

Extradition is the action of deporting a person convicted or accused of a crime.

The reason this finally came about was because a Hong Kong man killed his pregnant girlfriend in Taiwan and then returned to Hong Kong. He admitted he killed her but no charges could be given because it happened in another country and no laws about that were in place.

Hope that helps!
