The Empire of Rome dominated most of Europe and much of Africa and the Middle East. What is often overlooked though is the key role Rome's geography played in it's rise to power. There were two mountain ranges, the Alps and the Apennines protected Rome from invasion because it acted as a natural barrier to prevent armies from invading in those areas. This also forced enemies to push through narrow passages, allowing time for Rome to set up and defend. The fertile land in Rome also allowed for extensive amounts of agriculture. It is often cited that the soil in Rome is some of the most fertile soil in Europe. Finally Rome benefited from it position, allowing to become a center for trade. Rome was positioned in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, which made Rome a very desirable place for trade, even before Rome rose to power. All in all Rome's natural barriers, fertile land, and central location played a key role in its rise to power.
The correct answer is C) by overriding the veto and expanding the agency's powers.
<em>When President Johnson vetoed a law that would extend the Freedmen's Bureau, Congress reacted by overriding the veto and expanding the agency's powers.</em>
President Jhonson and Congress lived many moments of tension during the Reconstruction. President Johnson vetoes did not like the Congress and it became a permanent conflict between the legislative branch and the executive branch.
The Freedmen's Bureau of 1865 was established to help African American people and poor white men that lived in the South, after the end of the Civil War. So it is true that when President Johnson vetoed a law that would extend the Freedmen's Bureau, Congress reacted by overriding the veto and expanding the agency's powers.
all of the above
