History

When the cost of land is too high, cities tend to expand upwards instead of outwards, as is the case, for instance, in Manhattan Island. However, most US cities expand outwards as there is usually plenty of land available.

Another factor that determines the manner in which a city expands is the geological characteristics of the territory that would require cheaper or more expensive construction materials. In areas which are very complicated in terms of geology, constructing tall buildings would require costly technology and materials and hence this type of expansion is very unprofitable if compared with expading outwards.

Maslowich

The options of the question should be, A) independent after the war. B) made into a Jewish homeland. C) made into a large nation called Trans-Jordan. D) closed to Jewish immigration.

The correct answer is A) independent after the war.

<em>During World War I, Great Britain promised that the Arabs provinces of the Middle East would be independent after the war. </em>

In 1915, the British government needed the Arabs support to defeat the Ottoman Empire in World War I. To make it happen, Great Britain promised independence of its territories. To do so, the British government wrote some letters and sent it to the Arabs. The documents were named “McMahon-Hussein correspondence.” But the British also were secretly negotiating other terms with the governments of France and Russia. So the British lied to the Arabs.
