6 0

The Roosevelt Corollary was set forth by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1904 (in his State of the Union Address that year). It was a tweaking of the Monroe Doctrine. The Monroe Doctrine expressed US opposition to European interference in the Americas. Roosevelt's corollary to that doctrine was that the United States would intervene in conflicts between European countries and Latin American countries, rather than having the Europeans press their claims directly.

The policy became known as the "Big Stick" policy because Roosevelt used the policy to put the United States in the position of primary power broker in the Western Hemisphere, so that the USA would have the upper hand in Latin American affairs.

The phrase came to be automatically associated with Roosevelt and was frequently used by the press, especially in cartoons, to refer particularly to his foreign policy; in Latin America and the Caribbean, he enacted the Big Stick policy (in foreign policy, also known as the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine). If you need something different, please let me know. Hope I helped.

Answer:

B) the acquisition of California and New Mexico.

Explanation:

The U.S.- Mexican War tremendously affected the historical backdrop of the two nations. For the United States, this was the country's first remote war battled for the most part on outside domain. It included different armed forces, long supply lines, a vast scale land and/or water capable arriving of troops, and it gave the main experience of involving an outside capital and setting up a military government for an outsider populace.

Mexico had lost around 33% of its region, including almost all of present-day California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.

Generally what was life like for the native americans of north american in 1492

Alexxx [7]

Most Indians concentrated on the important things in life: getting food, making clothes and building houses.
FOOD
Buffalo - Food of Native AmericansIndians ate many different kinds of food. Those who lived on the plains of the Central United States ate the meat of buffalo. The Pueblos of the south-western part lived on corn, beans and squash. Indians in Alaska and Canada were fishers and hunted deer and other wild animals in the forests. Most Indians ate berries and collected nuts.
Indians cooked their food in ovens that they made with hot stones. They preserved meat by smoking or drying it in the sun.
MARRIAGE AND CHILDREN
Many Indians married at an early age – girls between 13 and 15, boys between 15 and 20. In some Indian tribes parents chose husbands and wives for their children. Some Indian tribes allowed men to have more than one wife. After a man died his wife often lived with his brother’s family.
Most Indian families were small because many children died at birth or at an early age. When boys got older they were tested for their strength and bravery. Many had to live alone in the wilderness for a long time.
In many areas, Indians lived in big families called clans. These clans were a group of relatives who had one common ancestor.
CLOTHING
Many Indians made clothes from animal skins and furs. Buffalo skin and rabbit fur were especially popular. They also used bird feathers to decorate their heads. Indians of the tropical regions only wore simple skirts. Some tribes wore no clothes at all
