There were many reasons to build through Panama instead of Nicaragua:

1) Panama is reasonably much more smaller (See attached Pictures 1 & 2)

1.5) Smaller meant less work (effectively, but doesn't mean no work at all), as well as less time & money spent on the project

2) Panama was freed from Colombia rule with the help of the U.S., and so the rights to building the canal was awarded to the US.

Although nixion May not have ordered the break in he did order a ?

Answer: a COVER-UP

Context/detail:

"Watergate" was the scandal in which persons working for President Nixon's reelection campaign committed crimes to spy on their opponents at Democratic party headquarters, and then efforts were made to cover up those crimes. Nixon didn't directly order the break-ins and spying attempts, but he did order the cover-up of his administration's connections to those activities.

The first break-in attempt by burglars working on Nixon's behalf occurred in May, 1972, as persons connected to the Nixon reelection campaign broke into the Democratic National Committee office in the Watergate complex of buildings in Washington, DC. They were planting wire-taps on the Democrats' phone lines, and also stole copies of documents. When the wire-taps didn't work properly, they broke in again (in June) to try to fix the surveillance devices, but they were caught.

Nixon's role in Watergate was especially in his efforts and those of members of his staff to cover up what had happened. Ultimately, the Watergate affair brought down the Nixon presidency. He resigned in order to avoid impeachment. And the whole affair made Americans more distrusting of government.

The answer is A and C. Some of the members started to feel the effects of the rising inflation and didn't agree with it at all, but they were not given a choice. Economic growth slowed down and there was less money.

How did the colonists try to replicate the social status consumer goods brought people in England?

Amiraneli [1.4K]

England concerned itself with quantity products it exported out of the country in comparison to the countries they traded with. England did not want to be left behind and be overcome by other countries especially those in Asia. They did not export much so artists and merchants started creating and inventing goods that enabled them to compete with the Asian market.

They avoided copying Asian products by imitating products form countries like France, Holland, Switzerland and Spain (which also traded with Asia) and used techniques that were proven successful methods used by these countries for a superior output.
