Answer:

One ironic outcome of the immense wealth Spain acquired - and ultimately squandered - with the colonization of the New World was to make rich others. Great wealth allowed the Spanish kings to fight wars in Europe: against France, in the Netherlands, in Italy and against the Turks in the Mediterranean. But on the other hand, large amounts of those riches - gold, silver - ended in the pockets of the European bankers who had given credits to the Spanish kingdom. Because it lost some wars, Spain had to pay indemnizations and reparations to victors, too. At the same time, much of the treasuries belonging to Spain were stolen by British pirates who attacked and robbed the huge fleets of galeones transporting gold to the Spanish ports. As a Latin American historian once wrote, "Spain had the cow, but others drank the milk."

The Black Death of 1348 to 1350
Citation: C N Trueman "The Black Death Of 1348 To 1350"
historylearningsite.co.uk. The History Learning Site, 5 Mar 2015. 19 Apr 2018.

In Medieval England, the Black Death was to kill 1.5 million people out of an estimated total of 4 million people between 1348 and 1350. No medical knowledge existed in Medieval England to cope with the disease. After 1350, it was to strike England another six times by the end of the century. Understandably, peasants were terrified at the news that the Black Death might be approaching their village or town.
The Black Death is the name given to a deadly plague (often called bubonic plague, but is more likely to be pneumonic plague) which was rampant during the Fourteenth Century. It was believed to have arrived from Asia in late 1348 and caused more than one epidemic in that century – though its impact on English society from 1348 to 1350 was terrible. No amount of medical knowledge could help England when the plague struck. It was also to have a major impact on England’s social structure which lead to the Peasants Revolt of 1381.

Which statement best describes one result of population growth in Texas during early statehood?

meriva

The correct answer is D) "Population in rural areas grew faster than urban areas".

After the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, where Mexico ultimately gave the US control of Texas in exchange for an economic compensation, the border between both countries was established at the Rio Grande.

This finally paved the way for immigrants to come to Texas and settle in the lands where cotton production was possible, resulting in a rapid growth of rural populations.
