<span><span>At the beginning of 1801, Napoleon wanted to occupy Louisiana militarily.</span> The newly appointed President Jefferson knew he could lose that region, because of the French or the British. Since there were no roads at that time, control of the Mississippi River was vital for the transport of all kinds of products, as well as troops, so Tomas Jefferson hastened the exploration of the same and the west. Surprisingly, the following year France agreed to sell the Louisiana Territory to the USA, which secured control of the Mississippi River and New Orleans. For 15 million dollars, Jefferson increased the size of the USA and gained control of the river, driving the French away from the country.</span>

In this unit, you read about transitions of power and the formation of newly independent nations in Africa, Asia, the Americas,
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

In modern history, there are two phases of decolonization: first, an early stage in which Spanish and Portuguese colonies in the Americas got their independence at the beginning of the 19th century. Second, after WWII, most British, French, Belgian, and other European power's colonies in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East got their independence.

Through this process of decolonization, some countries were relatively more successful than others due to different variables and characteristics. Decolonization, in general terms, is a complex and violent process in which new nations are created. It involves the creation and imposition of nationalities based on ethnic and religious elements, one common language, the suppression of cultural and religious minorities. Moreover, many of the newly independent countries in Africa and the Middle East were established according to the borders created by the European colonizers, which did not have into account the local borders between ethnic groups and local cultures. Also, the fact that decolonization took place during the Cold War added more political conflict to this complex process, many new countries lied on one of the two sides of the global conflict. It would have been very difficult for leaders to prevent these problems before they happened for all these reasons. Gandhi tried to avoid an eventual conflict between Muslims and Hindus, but he could not and the division between India and Pakistan happened very soon

telo118 [61]

General Manuel Noriega was accused of trafficking illegal drugs and money laundering in 1987 when he was the president of Panama.

From 1983 until 1989, Manuel Antonio Noriega Moreno, a dictator, politician, and military figure from Panama served as the country's de facto leader.

On July 10, 1992, the former dictator was convicted guilty of drug trafficking, money laundering, and racketeering and was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Noriega, who was born in Panama in 1938, gave his all in serving General Omar Torrijos, who deposed the government in a coup in 1968.

Ten days later, he finally gave up and was brought to Miami. Noriega was never again a free man. He was imprisoned in Florida, France, and ultimately in Panama, where he was killed.

Are you interested in getting involved in local politics? Why or why not?
Ahat [919]
One of the reason why u should get involved Unhappy with the city transportation system? Does your street have potholes that need fixing? Do you need to get a streetlight installed in your neighborhood? All these issues are handled at the city and county levels. Local city and county officials are often so overwhelmed that if you don’t bring up the issues that specifically concern you, they may go unnoticed.
