On January 1, 1959 Fidel Castro and his band of guerillas took over the government of President General Fulgencio Batista. Although the United States supported Castro during his revolution against Batista's regime, it was uneasy over the communist leanings of Castro. In 1960, Castro seized private lands and took over all U.S. owned businesses in Cuba and imposed heavy taxes on American goods. As a result, the United States ended diplomatic ties with Cuba and imposed a trade embargo which made Cuba turn to the Soviet Union instead. The United States made several unsuccessful attempts to overthrow the Cuban government.
There were lots of foreign changes that presented challenges for the US. I'll give you a few examples from different time periods. First would be when England wanted to tax the Americans in the Revolutionary period. They did this to try and restrict America's freedom. Another example would be that Russia had spies during the cold war period. This was to gain intelligence of the US war plans. Also when Germany sent the Zimmerman Telegram to Mexico during the WWII period. This was to get Mexico to launch a surprise attack on the US.

Answer:
C.) between the fall of Rome and the coming of the Renaissance.
Explanation:
We usually divide the medieval era into two periods: High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages.
- The High Middle Ages extended from the 5th to the 10th centuries. It was the time of consolidation in the Western Europe of feudalism, the predominant socioeconomic system in the medieval era.
- The Late Middle Ages comprehends from the eleventh century to the end of the medieval period in the fifteenth century. This is when feudalism peaked and went into decay. Slowly, it began to undergo transformations that would only be completed in the Modern Age, when it would be replaced, in the political field, by national monarchies and, in the economic, by the mercantilist system.
This period marks the fief as the economic base, the political structure based on the system of vassal and lord, certain social statism, where there was little mobility and a strong hierarchy between classes and the dominance of the Church in the religious scene. In addition, the medieval wars and the Black Death decimated much of the population of the time.
