The Transcontinental Railroad was a railroad line through the United States that united the city of Omaha, Nebraska, with Sacramento in the 1860s, thus uniting the Eastern rail network of the United States with California, on the Pacific coast.

It ended with the famous Golden Spike ceremony held on May 10, 1869 in Promontory, Utah, creating a nationwide mechanized transportation network that revolutionized the population and economy of the American West.

This railroad was considered the greatest American technological achievement of the 19th century. It served as a vital link for industry, commerce and travel, uniting the East and West halves of the United States, and creating new settlements in the West.

Casualties of civilian populations were high during World War I because most nations participating in total war without thinking of civilians abandoned in their parents with hunger, disease, etc.

  • It was the result of most nations participating in total war.

<h3>Why were casualties of civilian population high during ww1?</h3>

It has been estimated that the number of civilian deaths attributable to the war was higher than the military casualties, or around 13,000,000. These civilian deaths were largely caused by

  • starvation
  • exposure
  • disease
  • military encounters
  • and massacres.

With this information, we can conclude that Some 8,500,000 soldiers died as a result of wounds or disease during World War I. Perhaps as many as 13,000,000 civilians also died. This immensely large number of deaths dwarfed that of any previous war, largely because of the new technologies and styles of warfare used in World War I.

How does the sea temperature affect hurricane formation
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Hi well it's pretty simple Hurricanes depend on warm ocean water to develop. The warmer the water is the more water vapor it produces and the more it warms the air directly above it. This warm moist air is essentially the fuel of a hurricane. The warmer the water the stronger a hurricane is likely to become. If a hurricane over cold water it will weaken and die.
hope this helps
