Answer:

The French explorer that sailed down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico was Rene Robert Cavelier de La Salle.

Explanation:

La Salle emigrated to Canada in 1666, where he lived as a fur trader. He made repeated expeditions to the furry land around and south of the Great Lakes and reached Ohio. Nearly lined up with the colonial governor Louis de Buade de Frontenac, on a visit to France, he succeeded Louis XIV's support for continued colonization in the country south of the Great Lakes. In 1679 he started a large expedition and departed from Cakade to the south, exploring the country around Illinois. In 1682, he reached the Mississippi and its estuary in the Gulf of Mexico and proclaimed all these great lands as French possession under the name of Louisiana.

How might WW1 have affected future international relations?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

World War I has aptly been called a war of illusions that exposed in sharp relief all the follies of the prewar generation. The war plans of the generals had misfired at once, and expectations that the intensity of modern firepower would serve the offense, or that the war must be brief, proved horribly false. Germany expected to achieve hegemony in Europe as a step toward world power, and instead world powers were called into play to prevent hegemony in Europe. Socialists thought war would bring general strikes and revolution, and instead the war inspired patriotic national unity. Monarchists hoped war would bolster the old regimes, and instead it cast down the remaining dynasties of eastern Europe.
