The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The reason that Cornwallis gave for staying at Yorktown and trying to defend his position there was that he had received orders from General Clinton -the commander of the British troops in the Revolutionary War-  to protect the harbor in the Chesapeake Bay, to guard the British fleet. Lord Cornwallis chose Yorktown because it had deep waters in the York River. But by that time, the Continental Army led by General George Washington had already received the support of 5000 French soldiers that helped the Americans to defeat the British.

do you think that the US would have become a world power if the articles of confederation had remained the basis of government?
devlian [24]
No, I believe that multiple weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation would have hurt America in time. One of the biggest problems was the lack of detail and specific attributes that the Constitution brings from long discussion and debates over what is best for the country. America needed to strengthen it's central government if it wanted to get anywhere, so we may not have become so powerful if we left the majority of the power in the state's hands. Another lacking component was the fact that we had no Executive branch to enforce Congress' laws and no National court to determine the meaning of the laws. Another example is the making of one currency for the entire country. These examples and more could have hurt America if they wouldn't have written the Constitution.

Why were the Balkans and called the “power keg” of Europe
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The Balkans were called the "Powder Keg" of Europe, not the "Power Keg" of Europe.

Explanation:

The Balkans are a highly multicultural region with a long history of conquest. The major empires of European History have occupied the zone and left a mark there.

The Balkans present a diversity of religions: Islam, Catholicism, Orthodox Christians, and others. Ethnic and Linguistic cleavages are also evident.

Historically speaking, the main problem with the Balkans is that the continued occupation by foreign powers and empires has fostered artificial political borders that fuel ethnic resentment. Geographically the Balkans are a crucial area between Europe and Asia and have been the object of continued international tension. In the 19th century, Russia tried to align itself with the Slavic ethnic groups of the region and helped them in independence attempts against the Ottoman Empire and the Austro Hungarian Empire. All the accumulated tension, resentment and budding nationalism create a region that is like a keg of powder, ready to explode with any minimal spark.
