History

Answer:

Finding of gold

Explanation:

In 1867, Russia sold the United States to Alaska for $ 7.2 million. Only during the first 50 years of rule over the country did Americans earn at least 100 times more from it.

After a short time, rivers of gold flowed from the ice chest. A gold rush began in Alaska in Klondike, which brought fabulous wealth to the United States. Of course Russia must feel regret. However, no one can know what kind of relationships would have prevailed in the world if this sale had not taken place.

Should the right to exercise one religion depend on how old the religion is or how good its followers are? Why or why not?
astra-53 [7]

(Take this response with a grain of salt.)

I personally think that neither should determine that. Both questions are unable to determine whether the religion is true; so why would it be used to determine whether or not people have the right to follow it. However, putting that aside, I think the best answer would be how good their followers are. It doesn't determine whether the religion is true or not but it rids us of the toxic religions that spread negative messages. Considering how much racism, homophobia, transphobia, and sexism is in most religions it'd be interesting to see most religions cease.

Including commonly followed religions like Catholicism.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

7) During 1750-1900, people from around the world challenged established government structures, and this led to a great deal of political, economic, and social change. For many of the following Revolutions, Enlightenment ideas directly influenced their advent.

8) Japan- By the early 1900's, Japan had become one of the Great Powers and won a war against the Russian as well as the Chinese, and ultimately were able to take control of Taiwan, Korea and Manchuria.

9) Portugal was never very big. Spain's decline began in the 17th century, mainly caused by them losing a struggle with France under Louis XIV. Both were weakened by sticking to a very narrow version of Roman Catholicism, and not valuing education.

10) Settler colonial states include Canada, the United States, Australia, and South Africa, and settler colonial theory has been important to understanding conflicts in places like Israel, Kenya, and Argentina, and in tracing the colonial legacies of empires that engaged in the widespread foundation of settlement colonies.

11) The Cape Colony was the only settler colony of the early modern period in which the settlers not only permanently remained in the minority, but they even became increasingly outnumbered with the expansion of the colony. Europeans were only able to settle in the malaria-free uplands of southern and eastern Africa.

To what extent were the achievements made in the area of civil rights during the 1950s and 1960s a function of the rising econom
Leni [432]

The Civil Rights Movement’s goals, strategies, and support began changing as new victories and defeats in the movement transformed the message of social and political equality to one that began encompassing  economic empowerment for the Black community. The 1950's-1960's was a span of two decades of radical changes in the infrastructure of American political and social spheres. From the mid 50's to 60's, the fight for civil rights was led primarily by leaders advocating nonviolence and civil disobedience.

After the Civil War, in which slavery was abolished, segregation set in in full force and those slaves who were freed were denied their basic rights, including the right to vote, with a series of arguments that established supposed inferiority due to race on the part of African Americans, by whites. The movement strengthened its efforts and it became so effective, that it achieved its political, social and economic goals through the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which also led to the institution of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 and then the Fair Housing Act of 1968. These laws strengthened the federal government's power to regulate state government's denial of civil rights.

The Civil War era was a period of great economic, political, and social upheaval in American history. Due to the war, the whole of the South's economic structure was literally destroyed.
