Around 1066, The Normans conquered England under William the Conqueror.
The Norman conquest linked England tighter to Continental Europe, especially west Europe, and William the Conqueror, king of England, was technically the king of France's vassal, so his lands lodged in a region of France bigger than the royal realm. Besides, he got help from King Henry I of France to remain as ruler.
Thereby the answer is (C) & (D), due The Normans that invaded England came from Normandy in Northern France, although they were originally from Scandinavia, and a previous French King conceded some land to the Vikings in Northern France earlier.
Answer: Abraham Lincoln set the African-American slaves free with Emancipation Proclamation.
Sparta was focused on military training, and Athens on academics. Maybe you ran into Socrates the philosopher in Athens, and he started asking you odd questions.

Answer: Alleged attacks by North Vietnam against US naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin.
Detail:
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was a measure passed by US Congress that allowed the US President to make military actions, like increase troops, without formal declaration of war. It led to huge escalation of US involvement in the Vietnam War. The resolution was passed by Congress in August, 1964, after alleged attacks on two US naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin. The key wording in the resolution said:
- <em>Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.</em>
That resolution served as a blank check for President Johnson to send troops to whatever extent he deemed necessary in pursuance of the war. Between 1964 and the end of Johnson's presidency in 1969, US troop levels in Vietnam increased from around 20,000 to over 500,000.
