The correct answer is A) Most settlers searched for gold rather than planting crops.

The Jamestown settlement nearly failed because most settlers searched for gold rather than planting crops.

Sometimes people deviate their focus to other things that are not the priority. That is what happened in the first colony of England in the Americas: Jamestown. The colony at Jamestown nearly failed because of these two actions of the colonists: hunted for silver and gold and they also searched for the fabled Northwest Passage.

The Jamestown Colony was founded in 1607 and was the first English colony in North America. These European people arrived on May 14, 1607, and established close to the James River. These people came to America because they aspire to be rich or richer and were looking for raw materials such as gold. But permanent conflicts with the Native American Indians of the region, hunger, diseases, hunted for silver and gold, and the search for the fabled Northwest Passage, almost made the colony fail and disappear.

How was the treatment of enslaved Africans different under English rule than it was under the rule of the Dutch?
slega [8]

Answer:

I believe that under English Rule Slavery was almost slightly more fair than the way the Dutch used their rule/power

Explanation:

The Dutch West India Company imported 11 African slaves to New Amsterdam in 1626, with the first slave auction being held in New Amsterdam in 1655.

Slavery in Great Britain existed and was recognized from before the Roman occupation until the 12th century, when chattel slavery disappeared, at least for a time, after the Norman Conquest. Former slaves merged into the larger body of serfs in Britain and no longer were recognized separately in law or custom.

How and why did the failure of the Treaty of Versailles (reparations and war guilt clause) lead to World War II?
Fofino [41]
The treaty of Versailles mainly targeted the Germans. For example the reparations they had to pay and the war guilt clause and the fact that they had to give up land and decrease the power of their army etc. This led to Germany suffering a long and hard depression, where the German currency's value drastically dropped.The depression got really bad and people of Germany were desperate for work so when Hitler came along with a convincing plan that would restore prosperity in Germany people didn't hesitate to support him or question his intentions and his tactics which ended up affecting the world- leading up to World War II.
