The correct answer is <em>"The rebels promised to provide laborers to help the United States build the Panama Canal. " </em>

The US was initially reluctant to make any efforts in constructing the canal after the French had failed in its attempt to do so. However, French engineer Philippe-Jean Bunau-Varilla managed to negotiate a deal with the US government in order for it to continue with the project. This deal included the support to the Panamanians independentist efforts.

Local diseases were a big issue during the construction of the canal, as workers and administrative personnel fell ill and died due to them. Panamanians offers locals as a labor force in exchange for US support in the rebellion and the deal was finalized.

After the war ended, the United States was granted a perpetual lease of the canal and its operations.

List 3 cities that were the first in Europe to be affected by Black Death.
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

It has been suggested that this article be merged into Second plague pandemic. (Discuss) Proposed since May 2020.

Plaque in Weymouth, England

The Black Death was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Eurasia and peaking in Eurasia from 1321 to 1353. Its migration followed the sea and land trading routes of the medieval world. This migration has been studied for centuries as an example of how the spread of contagious diseases is impacted by human society and economics.

The disease is caused by Yersinia pestis, which is enzootic (commonly present) in populations of ground rodents in Central Asia.[1] Morelli et al. (2010) reported the origin of the plague bacillus to be in China.[1] An older theory places the first cases in the steppes of Central Asia, and others, such as the historian Michael W. Dols, argue that the historical evidence concerning epidemics in the Mediterranean and specifically the Plague of Justinian point to a probability that the Black Death originated in Central Asia,[2] where it then became entrenched among the rodent population.[3]

Nevertheless, from Central Asia it was carried east and west along the Silk Road, by Mongol armies and traders making use of the opportunities of free passage within the Mongol Empire offered by the Pax Mongolica. It was reportedly first introduced to Europe at the trading city of Caffa in the Crimea in 1347.[4] The Genoese traders fled, bringing the plague by ship into Sicily and the south of Europe, whence it spread.[5]
