3. Hindus first had the concept of zero, and then Arabs borrowed that concept and thought it to the western world.

Explanation:

In one way or another every civilization had its own numeric system. Some systems were more advanced and more practical while some not so much. Even though the empires in general had tensions between them and were not very fond of each other, they were still regularly contacting with each other, especially through trade.

Through the trade all sorts of ideas and technologies got shared, so they were spreading out relatively easy and fast. The Arabs were in between the Hindus and the Europeans and in many ways they controlled big portion of the trade. The Arabs saw that the Hindus have something that they lacked in their numeric system, the concept of zero, which was making the counting much easier and practical. The Arabs adopted this concept.

Because they were in constant contact with the western world as well, once they established the concept of zero, the Europeans noticed it and borrowed it from them as they saw it as useful one and better than the system they have. The manner in which the concept of zero spread is very similar to how the modern globalization works.

Put these events related to relocation of native Americans into chronological order
lesya692 [45]

The correct chronology would be as follows:

The US government establishes the office of Indian trade. In 1806, Congress created the Office of Indian Trade, an office in charge of supervising the network of public Indian trading factories that the US had from 1795 to 1822.  This office was closed in 1822 because of cases of corruption.

The Choctaw sign the treaty of dancing rabbit creek. The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek was a treaty signed in 1830 between the Choctaw Nation and the United States. This was the first removal treaty put into effect under the Indian Removal Act passed by President Andrew Jackson that same year. As a consequence of this act, the Creek ceded control of large part of their territory in what today is Mississippi in exchange for land in Indian Territory, today Oklahoma.

The Supreme Court rules in Worcester v. Georgia. Worcester v. Georgia was a legal case in which Chief Justice John Marshall  ruled, in 1832, that the relationship between the American Indian Nations and the United States was that of nations; consequently, only the federal government, and not the governments of the individual states, had the power to deal with the American Indians.

The US government forces Seminole tribe to relocate from Florida to Indian territory. Per the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the Seminole Nation was forced to relocate to Indian Territory. Some of the Seminoles were removed after signing the Treaty of Payne’s Landing in 1834. However, the majority of the nation declared the treaty illegitimate and refused to leave. This resulted in a struggle known as the Second Seminole War (1835–1842). As a consequence of this war, most of the Seminole Nation had to relocate from Florida to Indian Territory.
