Answer:

The magnetic compass was an important advance in navigation because it allowed mariners to determine their direction even if clouds obscured their usual astronomical cues such as the North Star. It uses a magnetic needle that can turn freely so that it always points to the north pole of the Earth's magnetic field.

Why would japan have had reason to resent the five power naval treaty of 1922?
mestny [16]
It allowed them fewer ships than the US and Britain limiting the kind of parity they hoped to have on the world stage in terms of naval power. One of the arguments went that the US and Britain had to have larger navies because of their need to maintain a force in more than one operating theater while the Japanese only had to worry about their side of the Pacific. It wasn't something that made a number of hardcore military types within the Japanese leadership very happy, but they ended up signing the treaty anyway (though refused to renew it in the 1930s).

Which was the pioneers’ first priority?
netineya [11]

The correct answer is A) building shelters.

The pioneers’ first priority was building shelters.

Life was difficult for pioneers who decided to leave their former lands and travel to the west in the time if US history called "the westward expansion." The Oregon Trail was also a difficult road to cross. Many people could complete it. Hunger was a major issue.

Pioneers had to build their shelters to endure climate conditions, clear the land for farming. However, the opportunity to have their own portion of land motivated many farjmers, former slaves, and immigrants.
