Answer:

The correct answer is A. The Louisiana Purchase was an agreement in which the United States purchased the Louisiana territory from France.

Explanation:

The Louisiana Purchase was a trade that, in 1803, doubled the US area of that moment. For $ 15 million, the United States purchased an area of 2,144,476 km² of France. In present value, the total amount corresponds to approx. $ 390 billion.

The area purchased was the so-called Louisiana Territory, which covered virtually the entire area between the Appalachians in the east and the Rocky Mountains in the west, and from the Canadian border in the north to the Gulf of Mexico in the south.

Today, all or part of the states of Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Louisiana are in the area purchased from France, and make up 22.3 percent of the United States' current area.

Which statements describe advantages of maps over globes?

Nat2105 [25]

The correct answer is all of them.

Indeed, A globe has one main advantage over maps, that it does not distort the exact scale of the size of a given country or territory, providing its user with an exact idea of the territorial sizes and differences between countries. Maps have to be distorted to a certain extent in order to make adapt them to a two-dimensional space from a three-dimensional one. The funny fact is that a spherical geoid distorts geological formations such as mountains and canyons since were these to be realistically imprinted on its surface they would be barely visible due to the very small scale of the globe. Otherwise the globe would have to be enormous, occupying the size of a large room in order to show a noticeable relief or carving for mountains or canyons.

Maps are very practical, they can be specialized in so many ways that globes cannot. They want provide far more detail that globes can and make it easier to compare nations between themselves and provide clear geodesic positioning for them. Changing the round space into flat space makes them incredibly practical as they can be easily put on a table with other documents where a globe would encumber them. And they are certainly easier to carry around than a globe. Now, the only caveat is that such advantages/disadvantages change when the globe is a virtual image like the one from Google Earth, but that is a different subject.

What foreign policy direction did the united states pursue from 1890 to 1914?

olga nikolaevna [1]

The United States’ approach to foreign policy had not change conceptually from the days it signed its independence. These ideas were primarily based on protecting US interests overseas and restricting foreign influences in the Americas. Once they furthered themselves politically and
economically, they gained the status of being a world power and they still wanted more. They figured they had to strengthen the country industrially as they needed worldwide markets for its growing industrial and agricultural
surpluses as well as sources of raw materials for manufacturing. They could only achieve these foreign markets with more concentrated efforts on its foreign policy as America was principally guided by economic motives.
    The internal economic growth of the United States made them want to look outward for foreign markets. Export earnings increased from 450 million to over a billion from 1870 to the early 1890’s. US business’s were soon
overpowering foreign competition as even American steelmakers could easily compete with any British producer in the world. Everything seemed to be inciting the US to expand abroad. Expansionists throughout America emphasized the resources of what other lands could provide and the wealth that could result from their establishment. For example, Cuba offered an abundance of sugar
             plantations and land in Panama would offer America control of the canal.
             The economic benefits of a foreign land can be seen through an example of Americans exploring the distant islands of Hawaii. During the course of the early 1800s, missionaries from America traversed on a laborious voyage to Hawaii and ended up settling there. They offered accounts of incredible economic opportunities and possibilities in the Hawaiian islands. Consequently, other Americans proceeded to Hawaii to become sugar planters and to establish lucrative businesses.
