The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was what got Russia out of World War I. This gave up the Baltic State territories to Germany. This treaty allowed for temporarily relief, as the Russians were now able to focus on the Russian Civil War. This was due to the fact that they gave up land such as Poland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, and Lithuania.
Cuba had been a country of interest for Americans for many years
prior to the 1890s. Because it was only 90 miles from the tip of
Florida, many Americans believed it to be a natural extension of the US.
During the 1890s it became a profitable source of trade for American
businessmen. After the Cuban revolt against Spain ended the Americans
poured investments over $50 million into Cuba and became the biggest
purchaser of Cuban sugar. The US removed tariffs making sugar cheap for Americans to buy. Both the US and the Cuban economies benefited and the trade increased to $100 million. The depression of 1893, however, had a negative effect on both economies. <span>

The correct answer is number 3) Congress had no power to raise a military separate from the states.
Why was keeping a continental army difficult under the Articles of Confederation?
Answer:
Congress had no power to raise a military separate from the states.
The Articles of Confederation was the first Constitution of the United States. Under these Articles, the central government was weak. Congress had many limitations. Among others, it could not raise an army and could not raise money. In case it needed some, Congress had to ask for it to the states that we're the ones that remained sovereign and could collect money through taxation.
